Quote
“Someone will, at this point, play the ace question, with that smug finality that always accompanies it, — What would you do? I frankly answer, I do not know, for I do not know the facts. Furthermore a critic with no authority or power in a situation, and from whom is withheld a knowledge of facts, is under no obligation to propose an alternative. He may rest by pointing out defects in policy.
“We, the common people, have not been told the facts for years, since long before the last war broke.
We are not now being told the facts
. We can only surmise. But give us the facts and we will answer. And in our multitude of counsel you will find wisdom.”
