think and of thinking ourselves is to do things.

The people who swept into and took over the Red Cross, who dramatized the
American people in the war abroad--are the people who are going to make
war at home impossible.

The big spiritual or material fact about the Red Cross is that it has
been a dramatic organization, that for four years it has been an
organization for acting out the feelings, desires, wills and beliefs of a
great people toward men who were fighting for liberty.

The Red Cross has been a great emotional epic play, an expression in
action, of the heart and brain of a mighty nation.

Emotions by great peoples have been spectacular before, and they have
been sentimental and they have been occupied with enjoying themselves.

it shall keep on dramatizing these qualities in the American character at
home, selecting things to do which shall dramatize our people to one
another, to themselves and to the people of other nations.

now, for unskilled capital, capital which has not the skill to win the
public, or to win its own labor, and for unskilled labor, labor which
cannot earn its money and takes it whether it earns it or not, to compel
the consumer by force and by holdups to buy goods they do not want at
prices they are not worth from men with whom they do not want to deal.
The skilled consumer will organize his skill and deal with the people he
wants.

All the people of this country--the consumers (the real employers of all
employers) have to do, is to whisper in one national whisper through a
hundred thousand grocery stores an
