Ah. That was my first guess as well.
Yeah, where possible I like to go to as primary of a source as I can
get, especially as the primary sources tend to be more accessible, not
to mention avoiding the factual and linquistic innacuracies that crop
up in successive revisions. [Moreso in cases like the law where the
language is paramount than science, but they exist there also.]

easy to govern. It demands no social reforms. It does not haggle over
expenditures on armaments and military equipment. It pays without
discussion, it ruins itself, and that is an excellent thing for the
syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for whom patriotic terrors
are an abundant source of gain.
