warlke nations 1t is not our fight; they got
themselves in it; We nave stayed out: they can
get out as best they may. We do not propose,
having so firmly maintained our neutrality in
the face OF denunciation from both sides TO lose
our advantageous position in the judgment Of
history by sitting in at the deaths.he feast
that will follow.
But another view Of the Presidents address
is taken by Or. Bernard Dernburg. who declares
that America cannot be trusted TO make peace
This too, is interesting II America cannot be
trusted by Germany, what nation can be. Would
Germany prefer England or Russia or France
or Japan or Italy or Belgium to handle her in
tcrests in the role Of mediator? Would the
Allies ~prefer Germany or Austria or Turkey TO
do the negotiating? Would any of them trust
the Balkans? What nation would either of them
prefer TO America? What country would afford
more unbiased seat for peace negotiations?
Perhaps our amable Mexican neighbors would
be deemed TO offer more favorable cline.
Neither side need worry. We are not at all
concerned with butting III. II they ask our
services that is another matter.
