FRENZIED LIBERTY
THE MYTH OF "A RICH MAN'S WAR"
Extracts from Address given at the University of Wisconsin, January 14, 1918
FRENZIED LIBERTY
I
We are engaged in a war, an "irrepressible conflict," a most just and righteous war for a cause as high and noble as ever inspired a people to put forth its utmost of sacrifice and valour. To attain the end for which this peace-loving nation unsheathed its sword, to lay low and make powerless the accursed spirit which brought all this unspeakable misery, sorrow and ruin upon the world, is our one and supreme and unshakable purpose.
