WHY WE ARE AT WAR WITH GERMANY By EPHRAIM DOUGLASS ADAMS Executive Head, History Depart ment Leland Stanford Junior University i DEMOCRACY VERSOS AUTOCRACY It Is commonly said that this war Is one In which America was forml to take part in order to "make the world safe for democracy." What does the phrase mean? The theories and acts of the Ger man military autocracy definitely deny (he right of the people of a state to rule themselves. Tho German people. in spite of forms of government that make a pretense of popular control, have no such actual control over their governors as exists In democratically organized nations. In those nations the governors can be removed by a vote of tho people in a general elec tlon; In Germany the people have not this power. The aristocracy of Germany under stand this difference, and are afraid of the spread of democracy In Ger many. The whole, much-admired "effi ciency" of Germany Is primarily due to a desperate and constant effort by Germany's rulers to divert the German people from thoughts of self-govern ment, by offering them material pros perity. And- the rulers havo sue ceeded. Ono of the causes of this war was tho necessity, by still fur ther "glorious acquisitions of terri tory," to hush the murmurlngs of political discontent In Germany. Vic tor in war, ever' so often, Is a nec essity of the German system. "It Is for social as much as for national and political reasons that wo must fix our minds Incessantly upon war." "Success is necessary to gain Influ ence over the masses," wrote Bern hard!; and General Von BIssing, Just before his death, wrote a "Political Testament," since largely circulated In Germany, In which ho argued for the retention of Belgium, because, unless it were annexed, the prestige of the military autocracy would receive a fatal blow. Are we are the Allies then fight ing to impose upon Germany a dlf ferent system; is that tho meaning of "making the world safe for democ racy?" Ellhu Root says that American democratic Ideals Include "liberty not for themselves alone but for all who are oppressed." Lloyd George asserts that if all countries had been demo cratically organized, this war would not have taken place; that this war will determine not merely Interna tional relations, but will affect the lives of peoples within their own na tions, for generations to come; that, this war is to end in "International democracy," i. e., la liberty, equal ity, and fraternity, between nations,' great and small. General Smuts, for-, merly a soldier against Great Britain. in South Africa, says that the essence, of this war is the question whether governments should be founded on military might or on "principles of equity. Justice, fairness and equality.", Various writers have depicted this, 'war as a test of democracy, to de termine whether democracy can ad (Just itself to an 'emergency' so that by 'sheer efficiency It shall at least equal (the efficiency of a military autocracy, 'and assert that on this ground alone 4the-future government- of all-thofna-, Hons of tho world la ftt stako.

Crooks, the British labor leader, says this war "Is a people's war. We are all In It, the man At the village pump and In the fields, tho blacksmith, tho car penter and Joiner, the. shipwright, nnd the man of leisure. We arc standing together because we arc fiyhtiny for liberty." Yes, this war Is one In which Ideals of government, of Individual liberty, of civilization Itself nro In conflict. Democracy is lined up against autoc racy. The war Is In absolute fact a war of Ideals. But we are not light ing to impose our Ideals upon any nation. "What we are fighting for, in "inaklnjrfhc world safe for democ racy," Is to prevent a military autoc racy from imposing its authority anil its ideals upon us. We are ready to keep, on minding our own- business, and to let other nations do the same. A military autocracy that proposes to conquer the world must be de feated, to the point whore It renounces meddling with other nations, great or small, or there Is no pence In the world. That Is tho lssuo at stake, nnd in it rests our safety and tho safety of the world. Oversea Meat Shipments. For the last six months our shipments of meat to Europe for the use of our armies and i those of our allies, has averaged 15,000 pounds a minute, or abcut9,000,- C00 pounds a day, and an addi tional 200 cars of beef are going eastward every day for export. During the five years before the war we exported to Europe an average of 40,000,000 pounds of beef annually. During tho past ten months we have shipped 262,000.000 pounds of fresh beef across the Atlantic, also 63,000,- 000 pounds of canned beef, 586, 000,000 pounds of bacon, and 321,000,000 pounds of hams and shoulders.
