This ig- norance of the President about what was actually taking 136 LIBEEALISM IN AMEEICA place would astonish the average American citizen, if he were made aware of it. It is a myth, which all States sedulously cultivate, that ''the Government" has special and secret sources of information and must therefore be in the possession of more facts and be better able to judge than the citizen "outsider. " As a matter of fact, most foreign offices and State Departments are organiza- tions for suppre...ssing truth and for concealing disagree- able facts from high administrative officials.
