Excerpt from The World War and Leadership in a Democracy
This little work has grown out of a patriotic lecture delivered at the University of California, November last, and repeated with certain variations elsewhere. The book still shows traces of its origin in the form of the direct address and the use of the pronoun in the first person. At first there was no intention of publishing the lecture but, as it has grown, my friends have urged its publication, encouraging me to believe that the book will render a real service at the present juncture.
While the lecture has been very greatly elaborated, the book is still very brief. Each of the several chapters could be expanded to an entire treatise. Perhaps, however, what is needed now is an outline programme for present use.
It is not without certain regret and sadness that I have written that part of this work which relates to Germany. Those who, like myself, have lived in Germany, have had German friends, and have experienced a good deal of kindness in Germany, will readily enough understand my position.
