2257 - L. May 18; ed: 2/1 - One of the best established truths of history
is that the intellect of a nation is largely quickened both during and
after a great war.
"All the avenues of trade and business have felt the stimulating
power of the inventive genius of our people during the past three years,
and when once the ordeal is over, we shall be a nation of more unbound-
ed prosperity and resources than any other people on the earth." (4)
