“Mr Mason aims this ‘handbook of Americanism’ chiefly at the newly enfranchised women and at the young men about to cast their first vote. He analyzes the make-up of the government and argues for what he aptly calls a ‘re-dedication to those principles which have made America great’—i.e., a conservative application of the underlying ideas of the Constitution. He objects to radical methods of taxation, to too much government ownership, governmental price fixing, etc., and he sees ‘Socialism’ as a menace.”—N Y Evening Post
“His arguments are cogently presented and supported by carefully examined data: an excellent brief for the preservation of a conservative republic rather than a radical democracy.”
