Excerpt from World Politics

What are the prospects of the worlds near future? Are they as gloomy as would appear at first sight? These are questions that the ordinary person has been content, until recently, to leave unanswered; and even now there are those who do not think it worth while to bother their heads with such matters.

It has been asserted frequently that a very large number of people never really think; that they will not face facts which surround them constantly, but which they persistently ignore, until, taken unawares by circumstance, they find themselves driven to immediate action in relation to some fact they have never observed before. Then they hasten to do something, anything, to relieve the situation, when it is perhaps too late, and when ordinary foresight would have spared them a catastrophe.
