or less what their fathers are now and tlfe free whnle-
nme comradeship that now holds them together will be
r"iu forever.
Instead they will share the divisions that curse our
"1 oh nun world. The poor ones as likelv as not. will be
icnouiicing the rich ones as economic royalists and the rich

All of which is simplv to sav that the easv. uncritical
