ALS, 1950 October 12 : Rome, to George Rauh, New York.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/17829131

This letter clearly expresses Santayana's notion on the failures of American democracy, "I think this trust in majorities is a dangerous and unjust method where there are profoundly rooted and numerous minorities ... Now the Americans and the UNO's way of talking is doctrinaire, as if they were out to save souls and not to renationalize commerce."
