The Purchase Price

CHAPTER XXVIII
11/39

Any nation pays the cost of bringing up a human being.

Yet, within this very year, Europe has sent into the North and into the West a third of a million of men _already_ reared, already _paid_ for.
Sir, you ask me what will be the result of this discontent, the result of this compromise.

It seems to me plainly written in those two facts--industrial, not political facts.

The 'finality' of this compromise, its final issue, will be established by conditions with which laws or their enforcement have little to do.

Yet statesmen try to solve such a question by politics.
