SELFISH MOTIVES.

Americans must not permit them
selves to be Influenced in their atti
tude on the foreign problems now fac
ing US, by the editorial views express.
ed in French, English and German
papers Nothing is more natural than
for French papers to express the be-
lief that the German reply to Presi'
dent Wilson's nee on the Lusitania
case is a disappointment to Americans
and that Americans will lose patience
with German diplomacy. English
views in the same strain are likewise
natural. On the other hand, 1t must
be expected that German newspapers
will see in the detention by England
of neutral American vessels and car
goes, something very offensive to
Americans.
The people of the United States
must not forget for minute that the
expressions of the warning European
powers are not those Of the unbiased,
dtsinterested observer. Every one has
an axe to grind. Americans must re-
alize that they themselves will have
to decide what action to take and how
to take it and that furthermore 1t is
they who will suffer or profit most by
the consequences of their own actions.
They must decide for themselves and
by themselves. The time is come
when America must disregard foreign
opinion and foreign interests and look
first to it's own interests.
