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.

Another Good Investment
aE paid out some Red Cross money a while back.
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.
