John Dos Passos Quote

What's the use of a lague of nations if it's to be dominated by Great Britain and her colonies? said Mr. Rasmussen sourly. But don't you think any kind of a league's better than nothing? said Eveline. It's not the name you give things, it's who's getting theirs underneath that counts, said Robbins.That's a very cynical remark, said the California woman. This isn't any time to be cynical.This is a time, said Robbins, when if we weren't cynical we'd shoot ourselves.
