Young men on way to political rally in Rajastan, India.
Let the news increasingly be the arm of the people,
and let it belong to the people—and not to sanctify
the ambitions and limitations of a few.
Let it furnish the people with unending information.
Let it be an educational means toward healthier,
happier, and more well-balanced goals.
Let it help man to formulate more comprehensively,
in the most wholesome sense, his mode of life.
Out of suffering, shock, and defeat
may come an extraordinary renewal.

Pain, in its many forms, may be measured
by the force it generates against itself.
Shock can be a warning.
Defeat can be a cleansing and a rebirth
that may be long overdue.
The insanity of excessive industrialism is that it creates

itself on its behalf.
Prevailing governments must then, through taxation of the
common man or creation of fictitious money, subsidize all
major industrial production units and guarantee their profits
and their existence.
