CITIZENS OF THE WORLD

The Partisan Figaro claims to have
discovered that Beethoven. the greatest
glory of the Germans in music and art.
was a Belgian. His great grandpar-
ents are buried in Louvain. and there
are other alleged proofs. 1t would put
Beethoven symphonies on 'all Belgian"
music programmes.
Well in one sense, Kant was Brit
on. His father was a Scotch saddler
who settled in Koenigsburg and mar
red a German woman. The Britons
modestly mention these facts. but do
not actually annex Kant.
There remains Goethe. who is not as
yet claimed by any other people. But
Goethe was an "Olympian," a cosmo :
politan of the cosmopolitans, an ardent
admirer of French culture and letters,
and even an admirer of the English.
He would not be apt to subscribe to
the notions of the Treitschke school or
to claim that Germany is superior IN
all things that go to make up modern
civilization that in the present war
she may be described as the defender
of civilization against barbarism.
The fact is. the great men of any
nation are not, under normal condi-
tions. likely to be Chauvinists or to in
dulge in bombastic twaddle about su-
periority and monopoly of culture.
Why not agree to keep the great men
of the past out of the present struggle
| in which hypocrisy and cant, are toe
often added to injury?
