Moulding

KNOWLEDGE
is power. It is also
the antidote for false
propaganda. For eleven years in
China I watched selfish, local
war-lords exercise power over a
>atient, toiling peasantry. It’e
easy to do when the great mass
of people are unlearned. In China
80% could neither read nor write.
Sometimes unlearned masses re-
bel but they usually fail because
what they have is crude force,
not power.
For 156 years the United States
has prospered and grown as a
republic; superior to a democracy
in that it provides safety and pro-
tection for the minority. A
democracy sometimes places the
minority at the mercy of the
majority, just as cruelly as a dic-
tatorship. But minorities have re-
tained their freedom in America.
Here each individual is still free
to think for himself.
It is not possible to estimate
the power of an informed people.
Every man and woman has a
brain, and thers is only one way
In America, our people have
knowledge and our nation has
power. It is my conviction that
we ought to keep the form of gov-
ernment that drav 'Yon* the in-
telligence and orij y of its
whole people and ,ies them:
that the entire pc, lion should
be kept fully and correctly in-
formed because “knowledge i3
