—Ida M. Tarbell (1857–1944)
“But for the national welfare, it is urgent to realize that the minorities do think, and think about something other than the race problem.”

“The Federated Republic of Europe—the United States of Europe—that is what must be. National autonomy no longer suffices. Economic evolution demands the abolition of national frontiers. If Europe is to remain split into national groups, then Imperialism will recommence its work. Only a Federated Republic of Europe can give peace to the world.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
