Présentation de l'éditeur
Foreword AMERICA has won a world war for democracy. Counting not the cost in suffering and treasure, she took her stand in the trenches of liberty, that the conditions of the people of the world might be bettered. No selfish aims marred the morale of her splendid fighting forces, and in the great settlement her weight was thrown in the scales for liberty and justice to all. The world war in which we were victorious closed one epoch of human history, and opened another a new era in which the principles of righteousness and equality of opportunity are to march on until they come into their own in the minds and institutions of men. The same progressive spirit which made our nation strong in time of strife must guide our steps in the days of peace. As President Wilson well said, The men in the trenches, who have been freed from the economic serfdom to which some of them have been accustomed, will, it is likely, return to their homes with a new view and a new impatience of all mere political phrases, and will demand real thinking and sincere action.
