22 THE FOOD CRISIS AND AMERICANISM 



The great body of manual laborers are not only 

 loyal, but right-minded. But are they not being mis- 

 guided by bad advisors, who are leading them back- 

 ward toward primitive and obsolete methods, methods 

 that may make for temporary success, but ultimate 

 failure? " No political institution, no social institu- 

 tion, is sacred unless founded on some eternal truth, 

 and all human institutions must change with the in- 

 creasing knowledge of mankind."
