Excerpt from Democracy in Reconstruction
America and Europe. War-swept Europe avowedly ap proaches reconstruction as an inescapable problem growing out of the material and human devastation wrought by the holocaust of the last four years. We Americans, standing in safety behind the wide barrier of the sea, touched by the War only so far as we came into it during its later stages, are fondly protesting our immunity from a similar com pulsion. We look about over our imperial domain, nu scarred by high explosives, peaceful, smiling, productive; and upon our people whose happy fortune it was to have helped mightily while suffering comparatively light losses; we see the roystering prosperity incident to the War still trying to persist in many of its manifestations, and we are loath to admit that the word reconstruction has any relev ancy here. Our case, it seems to us, is unique.
