To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
AVo can not ignore the process by which the wor. M has been convinced that the welfare of the mass of the people is the real test of national success. Privilege may gain from exploitation, but not democracy; and democracy has come to stay as the economic, social, and intel- lectual ideal of civilization even more than as a political ideal. This will be clearer to mankind after this war, and we may suspect that it is becoming clearer and clearer during the war. Right now in the trenches no power... can keep the soldier from thinking and thinking about the state and his relation to it. Even if he is led to magnifv the value of organization and efficiency, he intends to ask for organi- zation and efficiency in his interest and not in the interests of privi- lege or class. The very first thing that we Americans should consider to-day is the relation which we wish our Government to assume toward us as individuals and toward other nations. Our whole attitude toward this war and its results depends upon our conception of the function of the state.
