11 TITE MOUSING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1020. y GERMANY HAS VIOLATED AN OATH," LANCKEN IS INFORMED "It Is No Use to Argue; It Is No Use to Twist and Turn, Cardinal Informs Visitor in Argument Over Pastoral. CARDINAL. MHHUIKH'S TOKY. Includio his correspondence with the German authorities in Belgium during the war, 1914 to 1918. edited by Professor Fer nand Mayence of Louvain uni versity and translated by the Benedictine monks of St. Au gustine's, IUimsKate, England. Eipli rjv ry Comment ty rrofHor l-'ernand Mayence. iHE usual German melodrama ac-, companied the publication of the cardinal's fourth pastoral letter. "The Voice of God." dated Sunday, October 1, 1916. The printers were arrested. The police seized copies of the work. Von der Lancken duly ap peared for a personal interview with the primate, ana, as so often hap pened, was outmatched in the verbal duel. The following; passage from the pastoral proved especially wounding to the sensibilities of the dapper dip lomat and the brusque governor-general: "Be then grateful to God. The in dependence of our country is today not to be doubted. Let us thank God for having assured us of its preser vation. Let us thank God for having preserved for our affection our king, the glory of the Belgian nation: our Queen, tender and strong; the royal children. Let us thank him for hav ing given us the patience to support without flinching or murmuring our long and hard trial; for haying vouchsafed to us the first benediction of our holy father, the Pope Bene dict XV, and for having Inspired him to declare to .us that his warmest paternal affection Is for Belgium; for having Instilled in the hearts of the foreign nations regard for our mis fortunes. We must raise to them after the war a monument of grati tude. Let us give to them today a place of honor in our grateful piety. "Finally, as we are not at the end ef our term of Calvary, may our de votions in the mass be an assiduous prayer for our dear native land, for those present and those absent, for our valiant prisoners and our dear refugees. "The more the war lasts, the more ardent becomes our commiseration for all those men of energy who burn to give their all for us, for us whom Inaction tortures dally." Continuation of the Interview be tween Cardinal Mercler and Baron von der Lancken. "Yet we must find some means of coming to an understanding." "For myself I see but one," an swered the cardinal, "that you affect not to notice what Is going on and leave me with a free hand. I had understood, or. If you like that better, conjectured, that such was your in tention. Accordingly I was not a lit tle surprised to learn that the works of my printer had been raided by the German police. "It was not with the intention of elzing your letter; Smeesters was im plicated in another affair." "As 1 was unaware of that, I was greatly surprised. 1 had intended to end you a copy of my letter as soon as it was in the hands of the various deuns In Brussels, and I considered I had a right to expect from you its Circulation without let or hindrance, for. after all, there is absolutely noth ing in the letter to which you could take exception." Van Biasing; "lllnpleaned." "Nothing to offend me, perhaps, but the governor-general, a soldier among soldiers, who, being obliged to con sider the effect your writings may produce in Germany, thinks other wise. He knows I have come to Ma lines; in fact, we had a 20 minutes' conversation about this very letter end I can assure you he is greatly displeased." "But what has he to complain of?" - "First of all, he takes exception to the phrase in which you affirm that 'nobody today calls the independence of Belgium into question." "Again, you say at the end of your letter: 'Let us hasten the hour of our deliverance.' It is this lact phraue spaclslly that irritated the governor general." "Well then. Baron, the governor general does not understand French. It lies with you. who understand and speak it, to explain fully to him the meaning this fragment of a phrase has when read In connection with its context. You have only to read the whole paragraph to perceive its real sense. "Oh. I have perused the letter four times." "Then read the paragraph again. Do you not see that these words were Inserted therein to introduce the liturgical Invocation, 'O Lord, make haste to help us"? They merely imply that by means of prayer and penance we are to merit the help and deliver ance of Almighty God. Are my words susceptible of any other interpreta tion?" "When I had read it over again 1 saw that the phrase could be under stood in the sense your eminence at taches to it. but the governor-general placed quite a different construction upon it." "For example?" "He took it to mean. 'Let us hasten to expel the Germans.'" "Well." replied the cardinal, "what is one to do? It Is not my fault if he la not sensitive to the delicate shades ef meaning in our language. And what else was there?" "Several allusions to current poli tics." "As for Instance?" "First of alt a rererenee to Poland, which in the eyes of the governor general is political, though, person ally. I must confess that this particu lar passage appeared to me quite in-J offensive." "Obviously if Poland is to recover her independence just as many con cessions must be made by Russia as by Germany. Then I say distinctly that the country has been laid waste by the advance or retirement of the armies." "What about the attack you made on the Turks?" "Pardon me," replied the cardinal, "I did not attack the Turks, but J take up the cudgels for the Armen ians. I have great compassion for their suffering, and as I am suffer ing with my fellow countrymen, I I can sympathize with others in their I trials. Is it not natural?" j "But in your letter, your eminence i inveighs against the allies of Ger- ! many, and It is this which displeases j the governor-general. Moreover, in a subsequent passage your Eminence asks prayers for your allies. Doubt less you refer to the British?" "The British, the French and all those who defend the same cause as ourselves. Can you imagine that there is a single Belgian Catholic who does not pray for them? But we pray also, I say, for our enemies. Do you wish that I should say for: 'Our armies on the western front'?" "Yes, that would do excellently." "Frankly, that borders on sophistry. If I did not fear to wound you, baron, T should say that you wish to pick a iiuarrel with me (une querelle d'Alle mand)." "But, come, tell me what your in tention was in paying me this visit." "Oh, above all, to explain to your eminence the difficult position I am in." 'Did you come on behalf of the governor-general with some order in your pocket or merely to ask me for an explanation?" "I have come wih no order what ever. I fear complications and that Smeesters will be punished for print ing, your pastoral." "Game Not Worth the Candle." "But that disgusts me! If my let ter is criminal, I am the first person who should be punished. And if you do not punish me, it is unreasonable to punish an inferior, who has merely executed my orders. But since you leave me free to say what I think. 1 am quite willing to tell you that I do not consider the passage, which you condemn, of sufficient importance to provoke a public dispute and It would be painful to me to expose my printer to additional punishment." This question being settled, the baron asked the cardinal to apply to Um whenever he had any cause for complaint. "Is it not better," he said, "to avoid disagreements?" "Doubtless," replied the cardinal. "I do not want to quarrel any more than you, for the mere pleasure of it, but I believe that in spite of my good will and yours a dispute is unavoid able." "Is your eminence persuaded of that?" "Yes. Because the military authori ties have a natural tendency to abuse their power against which my con science must protest. You place a political construction on all our pro tests and so create discord." "But Is It not better, in the interest of your country, to avoid protests which lead to no result?" "That is absolutely the fundamental question. You imagine that in our ministry we have no other ambition than to spare ourselves momentary worry and anxiety, or to win some immediate success. A thousand times no! Utilitarianism, even socially. Is rot our ideal. If St. Paul had spoken like you, we should never have had St. Paul. We should possess neither Ms epistles , nor his example. When the church was founded, the truth preached was religious truth: the gospel of Christ. Truth, today, is right and the superiority of its king dom over passing interests. In either caMe. there is antagonism between utilitarianism and the necessary tri umph of absolute right of truth. Thus I have nothing but contempt for those sophisms to which you, in your recent correspondence and with you certain theologians in their ut terances, have had recourse, shelter ing themselves behind the. 'notwehr' ror ui purpose of justifviutr thn in. vasion of our country. It is no un to argue; it is no use to twist and turn, Germany has violated an oath and it would be simpler to confess and regret it than to xti-iva hv .ii,. and main to hide the truth." With these words the lniri. ended. Baron von der 1 .nn. L-or, v leave, thankintr the nmii r. the changes he had aarreed in mau. in the text of his pastoral. copyright, litin. by Public Lerii-or rv.
