not the same thing, and they do not stand or fall together.

INTERVIEW WITH FRANKLIN H. GIDDINGS.
Dr. Giddings is Professor of Sociology and the History of
Civilization at Columbia University; author of many works on
sociology and political economy; President of Institut
Internationale de Sociologie, 1913.
By Edward Marshall.
No man in the United States is better entitled to estimate the probable
social and economic outcome of the present European debacle than Prof.
Franklin H. Giddings of Columbia, one of the most distinguished
sociologists and political economists in the United States.
"Today all Europe fights," he said to me, "but, also, today all Europe
thinks."
That is an impressive sentence, with which he concluded our long talk,
and with which I begin my record of it.
He believes that this thinking of the men who crouch low in the drenched
trenches and of the women who tragically wait for news of them will
fashion a new Europe.
He agrees with the remarkable opinions of President Butler, that that
new Europe will be marked by the rise of democracy.
