“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views
confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the
U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are
afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know
that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle,
so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive,
that they had better not speak above their breath when
they speak in condemnation of it.”

— President Woodrow Wilson
