THE WORLD THEY WANT:
ONCE more we have turned to the man in the street for opinions about the state of the world. The man who has been taken out of the streetchosen as a leader or appointed to teach or preach -speaks to us every day. If we don’t know what * his opinions are it is our own fault and not his, since it is his duty (whether it is his pleasure or not) to tell us. But the people generally are without a voice. Unless the attempt is made at intervals to find out, it is not easy to know what they think, whether they are getting ahead of or falling behind
their leaders, and how they are likely to behave in an emergency. So we close the year with two simple questions to 20 or 30 men and women chosen almost (but not quite) at random. They have not all answered, of course, but most of them have, and this, with some condensation, is the result. The questions we asked were: 1. What changes would you LIKE to see in the world before the end of this year? 2. What changes do you EXPECT to see?
