Text :
In the rapacious type of capitalism existing in this country and America, such personal advantages are the result of an exercise of low cunning hardly compatible with a sense of justice; or they are based on a callous speculation in finance which neither knows nor cares what human elements are involved in the abstract movement of market prices. For the last fifty years it has been obvious to anyone with an inquiring mind that the capitalist system has reached a stage in its deveopment at which it can only continue under cover of imperial aggression -- at which it can only extend its markets behind a barrage of high explosivies.... Faith in the fundamental goodness of man; humility in the presence of natural law; reason and mutual aid -- these are the qualities that can save us. But they must be unified and vitalized by an insurrectionary passion, a flame in which all virtues are tempered and clarified, and brought to their most effective strength.
