To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let us say that our democratic government was not designed for the effective control of unconverted alien peoples. Let us add that history shows few examples of governments that are so designed, and that of those few still fewer commend them- selves to our admiration. Russia of the czars has attempted such control with periodic massacres of the Jews within her borders. Turkey of the sultans has attempted it with periodic attempts to exterminate the Armenian Christians. Austria- Hungary has atte...mpted it; and I read in the Chicago Tribune of November 21, 1917, this report of her progress: "Eighty thousand persons have been hanged in Austria-Hungary since the beginning of the war for political or racial opposition to the Government, pacifist activities and separatist propaganda, according to estimates here." But why seek examples in the old world? The United States has attempted it with the result that in the time of a great national crisis a big block of hyphenated Americans, united and organized without reference to American party divisions, at- tempted to bribe and bully Congress and terrorize statesmen in the interest of a foreign sovereign.
