MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. HEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1934. PAGE THREE IS 10 (Continued from paga one) Just before publication. The pa.?es were yanked out, crated and stored in a warehouse. The German cruiser . .... , 4 '0.v York, loaded the crates aboard and In mld-Atlantlc i. w .ti --aid. The crates declined to sink and tue Bremen lowered boats and took them aboard again. Eight imperial Ger man officers, according to the story, stripped and vent down Into the engine room, from which enlisted men temporarily were barred, and fed the printed pagts to the fire-boxes. Theodore Roosevelt was supposed to have had a copy of the interview, but It has not been located'. During the World war. Hale was urged to ue the article as anti-German propa ganda, but declined. Original Article Found. In the Atlantic Monthly article, the original interview, before expurgation, is used W. H. Hale found It after his father's death in 1924. The Kaiser's first remarks concern ed Theodore Roosevelt. "What a man he is I" the emperor told Hale. "Mr. Rosevelt Is an in spiring example of the force of per sonality." William II then developed a thesis. "It isn't genius the world needs, nor brilliancy, nor profound learning, half so much as personality. The bi things In the world are always done by Just a, man one man one strong personality." Roosevelt Greatest. Roosevelt, he declared, was "one of the greatest leaders of men the world has ever seen." He referred to two American capi talists John D. Rockefeller and An drew Carnegie. "I can understand," he told Hale. LLOW'D Blended to give a round, rich flavor - -smooth satisfying, delicious, as fine as money can buy - yet moderately priced.. C0FFEE "why men like Mr. Rockefeller, with his peculiar methods of gathering money, should not have lellahed th President's attack, on iniquitous trust methods." Carnegie, the Kaiser continued, had once jokingly told him he would Use to have Roosevelt and himself ' in harness and have the reins for oiw day." His reply, the emperor said, was: "I should esteem it a real honor to be harnessed up with Mr. Roosevelt, but I insist that we go tandem, and that Mr. Roosevelt led." The conversation then turned to war. Forced to Fight. "In a world of practical facts,' the Kaiser said, "we have to fight, even for righteousness' sake. The Bible Is full of fights Jolly good fights some of them were. It Is a mistaken Idea that Christianity has no countenance for war." He contended that the sword should clear the way for the missionary. With the. assertion that the world's greatest warriors had been Christians, the Kaiser turned to the Japanese. "The trouble with them." he said, "is that they aon't want any religion. They constitutionally are Incapable of religion. They are utterly without sentiment practical, cold, unsympa thetic." The Asiatic situation was the em peror's chief theme. "Everybody knows what must come to pass between Asia-and the West, the yellow race and the white," he said. "We are unworthy of our fath ers if we are negligent of the sacred duty of preserving the civilization which they have achieved for us and the religion which God has given us," Held Jups Overestimated. He thought the Japanese had been overestimated as fighters; they were too small In stature. "We know this much about him (the Japanese)," the Kaiser declared. "He hates the white man worse than the white man hates the devil. The Japanese are devils, that's a slmpie fact. They are devils 1" It was 15 years earlier that tne Kaiser had painted his picture. "The Yellow Peril." Consolidation of the East consti tuted the chief threat of occldensal security, he said, adding that it was the particular duty of the white races to prevent Jan from "swallowing China." China's territorial integrity and the "open door" principle guaranteed by several nations meant nothing, he contended, since Japan was signatory to all such treatlet The Kaiser said a new treaty among white nations was necessary to pre serve China's Integrity, and Great Britain should not be a party to it. Culled KURlund Traitor. "England Is a traitor to the white man's cause." he asserted. "If that alliance of theirs with Japan is per sisted in, I don't see how the British Empire can be srcd from dismem berment. "When self-interest comes In at the door, sentimental patriotism flies out of the window." (The Anglo-Japanase alliance was terminated some years ago.) Australia and New Zealand had In vited the American fleet to visit their shores as a warning to the home land that they had in the United States "a friend who understands the white man's duty better than the mother country seems to understand It," con tinued the emperor. And. he added. President Roosevelt had sent the fleet with that under standing'. The most logical combination of nations to act as "big brothers" to China, the Kaiser said, was that of the United States and Germany". H-) had discussed this matter with Roose velt, he said, and Roosevelt had agreed. "Some fine day the world will wake up and read a quiet little agreement between Germany and the United States declaring that we guarantee Chinese sovereignty over Chinese ter ritory V declared the emperor. "O Hoi I wonder what my friends across the channel will say to thai.1 Goes Into Pa tire. Here, Hale reports, the Kaiser gut fa wed and executed a dance step on1 the deck. Religion was the next subject. Hale makes this comment: Clearly, he esteems himself a Lord with spiritual as well as temporal re sponsibility." The Kaiser expressed dislike for the Roman Catholic faith. on the ground that It subordinated Jesus. Next, the Kaiser spoke heatedly of Anglo-German relations. "What Is England's grievance against Germany?' he asked and an swered. This antipathy, he said, was grounded In the British diplomatic policy of opposition to the dominant continental power. . Germany was that power, he de clared passing the British In things naval and military, cultural and eco nomic. White Race Eulogized. William II concluded with a eulogy on the white race. His shoulders squared, his eyes flashed, writes Hale "The future belongs to the white race, never fear," . the emperor ex claimed. "It belongs to the Anglo Teuton, the men who came from northern Europe where you to whom America belongs came from the home of the German ." "It belongs to the fair-skinned man. and it belongs to Chisttanlty and to Protestantism. We are the only peo ple who can save It. r "There is not power In any other civilization or any other religion that can save humanity; and the future belongs to us!" "Monkey Gland" Your Car!
