W r Is Conflict Between Paternallam and Democracy and Mr. Brack CfaoscB Democracy. A splendid Instance of the individual effort that is making the second lib erty loan a bij? success 1 this state was afforded yesterday at the liberty loan headquarters, when a statement of his loyalty and tne reasons for it was made by H. Rruck. nroorieto-r of the Ooodyear- Shoe. Company. Mr. Bruck was born in Germany. lie said: When I read President Wilson's state ment that we had to submit or fight. I be an thinking- over what we ar flphtins for. or what we had to submit to. The es sence of my thoughts. was as follows: li seems this war is a con flirt of two principles that Is. the German principle of government against the English or Amer ican principle of government. The German principle of government Is based on pater nalism. In other words, the German gov ernment claims that no man will do any- tning ror bis own good unless he is com pelled to. and the whole people are the ,tne. The Knglish or American principle is based on individuality. In other word, give the people individual freedom and they will do the best there is in them for themselves. Therefore. If we have to submit, as Presi dent Wilson lays, we would have to submit to the German idea of government; but we are fighting for our ideal of government that Is Individual freedom. I was with a crowd of people the other evening who were all German sympathizers. IN one or them had bought a Government bond, and I asked them why they did not. They told me that they were not In favor of thi? war. as we had nothing to fight for. The idea or fighting other people a lights wasn't for this country. I aslced them If they knew what we were fighting for. They had a rather hazy Idea, but they did not really know until I ex plain to them what I stated before, and I asked them what ideal they thought the best and they all of them announced that hey thought our Government Is the one they would like best and they wouldn't want to be dictated to like the Germans are by their government. All of them premised me to go the next day and buy liberty bonds, and I know mopt of them did. FIRM GIVES BONDS AS BONUS Employes of Peerles Pacific Com pany to Share in Liberty Jjonn. W. S.
