Abstract

Villard, Oswald Garrison | April 13, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

Just another politician and orator without fixed principles, veering to the winds if the necessity arises or there is an opportunity to take office or make money, this is Newton D. Baker. If anybody wishes another and smaller Woodrow Wilson in the White House, with another great gift of oratory, though usually inferior to that of the late U.S. President, let him work for Baker. Baker's is, indeed, the type of mind and character which is to be found in so many of the recent leading statesmen of the world who have now successfully brought it to the verge of complete disaster.
