Excerpt from Intelligence and Politics

The phrase to make the world safe for democracy has become a by-word for cynics; and for this the optimists are to blame. They failed to appreciate the dimensions of the task. But the task itself is, if anything, more valid than ever, by reason of the added danger of disillusionment; and unless some definite effort is forthcoming to make good the failure, the cynic will be justified by more than an eclipse of ideals. There are large sections of the civilized world threatened with the loss of their heritage of culture, countries where the guar anty no longer holds that has safeguarded through more his tories than our own, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Now these are imperilled. The strain upon the fabric of civ ilization is almost at the breaking point, and the nation that remains complacently indifferent to such conditions but adds to its danger.
