"You remember the hideous poverty and helplessness of the old days--did that 'spur' the population to do anything? Don't you see, John, that if poverty had been the splendid stimulus it used to be thought, there wouldn't have been any poverty? Some few exceptional persons triumphed in spite of it, but we shall never know the amount of world loss in the many who did not."

"Here you are, a democracy--free--the power in the hands of hte people. You let that group of conservatives saddle you with a constitution which has so interfered with free action that you've forgotten you had it. In this ridiculous helplessness--you have sat open-eyed, not moving a finger, and allowed individuals--mere private persons--to help themselves to the biggest, richest, best things in the country."

It was a beautiful world, but it was not my world. It was like a beautiful dream, but seemed a dream nevertheless. I could no longer dispute that it was possible for people to be "healthy, wealthy and wise"; and happy, too--visibly happy--here they all were; working and playing and enjoying life as naturally as possible. But they were not the people I used to know.
