- W2035133614 abstract "ment in the world today, it is utterly impossible to rely on the mysterious wisdom of the people. And any statesman who pretends that he does rely on it, or can, is trifling with questions of life and death. For since knowledge of these intricate and far-reaching matters cannot be obtained by consulting your conscience or your sentiments about the bonus or the income tax, the only possible means by which democracy can act successfully in foreign affairs is access to the knowledge which the insiders possess, because the sources of information are in their hands. For the executive in any democratic country to keep his knowledge a secret, and then wait to act until public opinion approximates what he secretly believes, is absurd in theory and unworkable in practice. It ends in drift, factionalism and the deterioration of the standards of public life. The problems of the modern world are puzzling enough without complicating them still further by permitting our leaders to abdicate their leadership, because they might be attacked and lose votes. The best wisdom the insiders have may not be enough to save European civilization from an era of deep decay. But it would be intolerable to think that we had not prevented that decay because we declined to act according to such lights as we have. At least we might try, even at the risk of the next Congressional election, yes, even at the risk of defeating a few senators, to have our leaders speak their whole minds, and act on their own full judgment of what the situation requires. It is this false obedience to an undirected and necessarily uninformed public opinion which, to my thinking, constitutes the greatest practical obstacle to any constructive relationship between the Old World and the New." @default.
