The chief element in the art of statesmanship under modern conditions is the ability to elucidate the confused and clamorous interests which converge upon the seat of government. it is an ability to penetrate from the na?ve self-interest of each group to its permanent and real interest. statesmanship consists in giving the people not what they want but what they will learn to want.
