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.
Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was a British statesman, politician, and writer. He is best known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II, as well as his oratory skills and numerous literary works. Churchill was born into an aristocratic family and educated at prestigious schools, including Harrow and the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. He served in the British Army and worked as a war correspondent before entering politics in 1900 as a member of parliament for the Conservative Party. Churchill served as First Lord of the Admiralty and was responsible for the disastrous Gallipoli campaign. He later served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the 1920s and as Prime Minister. Churchill's leadership during World War II, including his inspiring speeches and steadfast determination, helped lead the Allies to victory over Nazi Germany. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders in history. In addition to his political career, Churchill was a prolific writer and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. He wrote numerous books, including a six-volume history of World War II, and is remembered for his memorable quotes and speeches, including his famous "we shall fight on the beaches" speech in 1940.
