The challenge to democracy

"The democratic way of life is being challenged today all over the world. Its superiority is widely denied and its security is seriously imperiled. The American people consequently are interested in understanding the dangers that confront them and to guarding against them. Democracy needs strengthening both internally and externally, and farm people can and must and will help do the job, both because of their numbers and because they know perhaps better than any other group the meaning of the democratic way of life. It is the purpose of this bulletin and others which will follow to sow what produced the present situation and suggest some of the things that need to be done about it -- not by farm people alone but by rural America and urban America working together. Eight bulletins are planned on the subject."--Page [322].
