Thus the radical land reformer sees the Issue. Is there any one still blind to It? But were we In America directly threatened? Il'e were, and tee are threatened. A German book mibllshed In the United States In 1914. and cnllpd 'Truth About Germany," sought to Inflame us against England and France, and to persuade us that Amer ica and Germany had common Ideals, characteristics, and methods. (May God save us!) It argued smoothly: "Two nations united by such common Inclinations and Ideals, boldness of en' terprlse, far-sightedness, quickness of decision, admiration for Intellectual achievements, can not help being ex ceedingly congenial to' each other." Pleasant words but. a lying tongue. Would Germany, once master of Eu rope, remember our "congeniality, and be a good neighbor In the Amer icas? The Germans when writing for home consumption hold a different language about world relations and "neighbors." "Formerly German thought was shut up In her German corner, but now the world shall have its coat cut ac cording to German measure, and as far as our swords flash and German bloods flows, the circle of the earth shall come under the tutelage of Ger man activity." "A sturdy German egoism must characterize all political action. . . . The first principle of our policy, both at home and abroad, must be that In everything that hap pens the Germans should come off best, and the others should have a bad time of it." A nice, congenial neighbor! But Germany, when honest, directly avows her purpose, ultimately, against America. We must "wake up," or we will be the easy "next step" In her ambitions. "Germany . . . may in less than two centuries succeed in dominating the whole globe ... If only It can in time strike out a 'new course, and deftn''?ly break with An-, Rio-American metl ds of government, ' and with the state-destroying Ideals of the Revolution." She is trying out her "new course" now. "One thing alone can profit the German people: , the acquisition of new territory, . . that alone can really promote the diffusion, the growth, and the deep-1 ening of Germanism." "Before seek ing to found a Greater Germany in other continents, we must seek to create a Greater Germany In Central Europe." "We must . . . see to it that the outcome of our next suc cessful war must be the acquisition of colonies." "We trust make room for an emplro of Germanic race which shall number 100,000,000 inhabitant. In order that we may hold our ows against masses such as those of Ruisla, and the United States." Still further. It Is no longer a secret that Germany, while we were still unprepared were neutral and while Germany still ostensibly sought our friendship, secretly planned, when vic torious in Europe, to pick a quarrel with us and wring from u part of the cosU of hex " 7rn war., ' If the American "easy chsir" la still too comfortable for serious thought of whatr Germany mean to do to u$, then America deserves the fate in store for her. This Is th material side of our peril, but titer Is another and deeper side. This war Is our war, to secure our purposes in national and In Interna tional development. If Germany should, iriii, her principles must triumph and force alone must rule the world, with the strong exploiting the earth. I! the war ends in a drawn battle, with Germany unchanged In ideals and pur poses, all that Is left of the world will be compelled to engage In the race of military preparedness, and tha world will be forced to adopt Ger many's methods now so hateful to us. A Germany undefeated would force um jto destroy .the Very basis of our government, our policy, our social ana Industrial ' llfe-rW,. devote ourselves, capital and- labor persons and prPP Tiv. to, one1 0b1t-a!'ThlEht HI- tarism.
