August 27. 1917 WE FIGHT FOR GOOD FAITH "The faith of treaties Is the onlr olid foundation on which a Temple i rrace can De Built up." (James uryee.) Good faith between nations as between men. Is the one andonlv saresuard from a return to barbarism. Without It brute force, shppr mink must rule. Without It the i ' security In human relations no se curity, even, for life Itself. To keep one's word, when once given, that Is me evidence of the progress of civ ilization, and the test of It. Hence the case of Belgium becomes the single greatest German offense against civilization In this war. At first, in our American ignorance of world conditions, we did not see this We do see It now; more and more we realize that until the crime nint Belgium is atoned for, there can be no peace, and no hope of a world at peace. What the the facts? Bv treaties signed In 1815, and again in 1831, anil still again in 1839, this last revision being in effect In 1914, It was agreed "Belgium shall form a perpetually neutral state. The five powers guar antee to it this perpetual neutrality as also the Inviolability of its ter ritory." These five powers were Aus tria, France, Great Britain, Russia and Prussia. By such treaties the neutral state was pledged to defend in arms the neutrality of its terri tory; and each of the great powers pledged itself not only not to march troops Into or through the neutral state, but also to aid her, in case her territory were violated. The world, thinking no nation so base as to break its word, was com pletely taken by surprise by the at tack nn Belgium. But we know now from German statements, that German military plans had for years intended to break this pledge. German rulers lied as to this consistently, and lied vp to the last day. On the morning before the German troops advanced the German minister assured Belgium he need feel no alarm, and in the evening of that same day he delivered his ultimatum. The world has never seen so com plete a denial of the binding effect of the pledged word. Why has Ger many so lost sight of the principle of honor among nations? Her own answer reveals the cause; it is again the plea of might. "The fate that Bel gium has called down upon herself (note the hypocrisy of this) Is hard, but not too hard, ... for the destinies of the Immortal great na tions stand so high that they can not but have the right, In case ol need, to stride over exlstencies that can not defend themselves." (Pro fessor Oncken.) When the British Minister at Berlin notified the Ger man Chancellor that Great Britain was in honor bound to defend Bel gium's neutrality, the latter argued that this was "Terrible," a war "Just for a word 'neutrality' just for a crap of paper." The pitiful yes. the terrible significance of such utter once, is that Germans believe them justified. "If I am asked what we are fight ing for," said Prime Minister As quith, "I can reply In two sentences. In the first place, to fulfill an obliga tion . . . not only of law, but of honor, which no self-respecting man eould possibly have repudiated; sec ondly, to vindicate the nrinclnle . . that small nationalities are not to be enished, In defiance of International food faith." America was not a direct guarantor like Great Britain, of the neutrality of Belgium, though In various con vent Ions (of which Germany also was a signer) we pledged to the main tenance of the world principle of "good faith." But every nation was attacked when Germany broke faith. "The law protecting Belgium which was vio lated was our law and the law of every other civilized country. . . It was our safeguard against the neces sity of malntainlnt great armaments. Our interest in havino it maintained as the law of nations was a substan tial, valuable, permanent interest. (Elihu Root.) In the hope of an enduring peace, In the hope of an advancing civilization, we can not forget Belgium. In the hope for unmolested self-development, In the sense of our own security nec essary to progress, we must not forget ueigium, until ner wrongs are righted.

Paid it out and forgot it. That's how much it hurt. Might not be a bad idea to have a look at what that money has been doing. That money went, dollar for dollar, where it did a full day's work, wherever it was. Three cents of it may have had the honor of disin fecting with iodine the three torn wounds of an American soldier on the French front. Or it may have had the less noble responsibility of pinning a warm flannel belly-band around six-year-old Antoine out back of Noyon. No use, we can't figure this Red Cross task in cents worth. Theres the whole path of ruin from Belgium to Switzerland, just to visualize one thing at a time. If your Red Cross money w.ent there it very likely provided pots and pans, food and clothes, beds and blankets, for the ' repatriated people. j Three years ago these people were prosperous and contented self-respecting, steady, saving, hard-working, j everyday, small-town citizens. Now they have the "earth under them and the sky over them" not one thing else. It's for you to say whether this great work of mercy shall stop. The Red Cross is yours, just as our Army and Navy are yours; yours to support with the same fervor and loyalty that leads you to the bottom of your purse for Liberty Bonds. It's for your voice to say whether your Red Cross shall falter now or sweep onward, greater and more help ful than ever before. And it's your dollars that must answer.
