Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - This play was written during the war. But owing to the fact that several managers politely declined to produce it, it has not appeared on any stage. Now, perhaps, its theme is more timely, more likely to receive the attention it deserves, when the smoke of battle has somewhat cleared. Even when the struggle with Germany and her allies was in progress it was quite apparent to the discerning that the true issue of the conflict was one quite familiar to American thought, of self-determination. On returning from abroad toward the end of 1917 I ventured into print with the statement that the great war had every aspect of a race with revolution. Subliminal desires, subliminal fears, when they break down the censor of law, are apt to inspire fanatical creeds, to wind about their victims the flaming flag of a false martyrdom. Today it is on the knees of the gods whether the insuppressible impulses for human freedom that come roaring up from the subliminal chaos, fanned by hunger and hate, are to thrash themselves out in anarchy and insanity, or to take an ordered, intelligent and conscious course. Of the Twentieth Century, industrial democracy is the watchword, even as political democracy was the watchword of the two centuries that preceded it. Economic power is at last realized to be political power. No man owns himself, no woman owns herself if the individual is not economically free. Perhaps the most encouraging omen of the day is the fact that many of our modern employers, and even our modern financiers and bankers seem to be recognizing this truth, to be growing aware of the danger to civilization of its continued suppression. Educators and socio-logists may supply the theories; but by experiment, by trial and error, - yes, and by prayer, - the solution must be found in the practical domain of industry.

Autorenporträt

Winston Churchill was an American novelist born on November 10, 1871, in St. Louis, Missouri. He is known for being a best-selling writer during the early 20th century, though he is often overshadowed by the famous British statesman of the same name, to whom he was not related. Churchill attended the Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School before enrolling in the United States Naval Academy, where he received his education. Over the course of his writing career, he became well-regarded for his novels, which often explored social, political, and historical themes. His works captured the attention of readers with their engaging plots and deep character development. Churchill spent his later years in Winter Park, Florida, where he passed away on March 12, 1947, at the age of 75. Though he is not as widely remembered today as other authors of his time, his contributions to American literature were significant, and his novels enjoyed considerable popularity during his lifetime. His exploration of human struggles within societal structures continues to offer insight into the social and cultural landscapes of his era.
