military establishment controlled by an
Irresponsible government, which, having
secretly planned to dominate the world,
proceeded to carry out the plan without
regard either to the sacred obligation«
of treaty or the long-established prac-
tices and long-cherished principles of In
ternational action and honor; . . . This
power la not the German people.
It le
the ruthless master of the German peo
ple. ... It la our business to see to
It that the hlatory of the rest of the
world Is no longer left to its handling."
—President Wilson, August 27, 1917.
Examine this one if you have
not, and get our figures on
same immediately.
THE NATION AND MORAL DUTIES
The rulers of Germany believe that
they have the right to prevail over all
other nations. They also believe that
the power of the state is the only ob
ject for which its rulers should strug
gle. Still further, they believe that
moral principles and ideas have no
place in determining the actions of
the state, since the sole duty of the
state is to get power. This is Ger
man political philosophy. American
political philosophy, from the very be
ginning of our institutions, has op
posed this theory, and now in this war
is fighting against it. For the Ger
man theory necessarily carriee with it
utter denial of the claims of moral
feeling, of international right, of hu
man decency and chivalry.
The German historian, Treltschke.
at whose feet princes and rulers sat,
eagerly absorbing his teachings, de
voted his life to spreading this gospel
of Power. It Is true, he said sneer-
ingly, that "a stock of inherited con
ceptions of integrity and morality is
a necessity for government,” (useful,
that subjects of the state be obedient),
but "the end all and be all of a
state is Power.” "The state is the
sole judge of the morality of its own
actions. It is, in fact, above morality,
or, in other words, whatever is nec
essary is moral.”
From this It follows, In international
relations, that there is no rule or
guide to conduct except self-interest.
In this present war a follower of
Treltschke, one of the leading com
mon-school educators of Germany,
Kirschensteiner of Munich, drives
home the theory. “The great lesson
which the German people has had to
learn is to think in terms of power.
. Let no one here say that
small states, too. can have a national
life of their own. True, so long as
the great states around them allow
them to exist. But any day may see
the end of their existence, in spite
of all treaties to the contrary. . . .
Neither alliances nor treaties provide
the least security. .
There are
no ethical friendships between states
in our day. . . . There are only
friendships of convenience. And friend-
ships of convenience last just as long
as the convenience itself.” . , .
Professor Eulenberg of Leipzig sums
It up. “All ethical considerations are
completely alien to the state and the
state must therefore resolutely keep
them at arm's length.”
Can we wonder that the German
Foreign Secretary spoke of the broken
treaty with Belgium as a "scrap of
paper?" or that the school children
of Germany celebrated the sinking of
the Lusitaniaf or that German agents
in America, smoothly friendly in ap
pearance, secretly plotted, before we
were In the war. to destroy our in
dustries, our railways, even our lives?
Is there no such thing any more
as a common humanity—no “decent
respect to the opinion of mankind,”
as Thomas Jefferson stated it in the
Declaration of Independence? Is our
ideal of righteousness, yes, even of
unselfishness, impossible In Interna
tional politics? This war. if Germany
is defeated, may decide these ques
tions. but if Germany wins, the struy
Ole has but fust begun.
This American democracy of our
denies, and has always denied, the
German theory; It asserts that the
taws which formulate the duties of
men toward each other are binding
upon nations equally with Individuals
For centuries civilization has been
slowly advancing from ignorance,
prejudice. and selfishness toward sym-
pathy, understanding, and a desire to
see justice done, whether between in-
dividuals or nations, The “be all and
end all" of a state Is not Power—It
is Justice.
And the
government has
left us In no doubt as to the results
of her theory, in application. That
government has broken a solemn
treaty with Belgium, ordered the mur
der of Innocent hostages, bombarded
unfortified towns, torpedoed unarmed |
passenger ships, destroyed works of
art where they could not be carried
to Germany, plotted secret war against
neutral nation»—all of them actions
she once pledged herself to forego—
has lost. In short, all sense, appar.
ently. that she Is dragging the former
good name of the German people
through a mire of dishonor, the stain
of which will not be removed for
generations
Against this mad phi-
losophy and mad government the
must be waged, until they are de-
feated or there Is no safety for men
or nations.
