q : A. e. :
n Hate is a spasmodic emotion. It DIS
consuming, and normal beings in
normal times cannot sustain, much
less maintain, It's fires. They trans
mute the frenzy into milder forms OF
emotion. Aversion and dislike cam be
kept as elem nts in the permanent
conditions OF life, but an intense
hatred, being intense, is not q con
tin1ltng emotion except in rare cases
Of men strong enough not to be
burned out. AZ an h. tI hi q.

In this hate the Germans have sex-
celled the British. The latter are not
successful demonstrators OF emotion
and the Germans, are. The English
call the Germans HUNS. but that is
spheful rather than hateful
name. The Germans get their teeth
into the object 'of their hatred. They
make their hate rhapsodic. 1t sings

Il Reasons for the greatest degree Of
war hatred where a tie OF consangu-
unity, however slight, exists are not
difficult to find. German and English
each call the other arrogant. Each
has hurt or threatened the other.
One has empires; the other. seeks it.
One has had military supremacy on
the sea; the other has had military
supremacy on the land. :,
!, slav and German, Latin and Ger
man are continents apart, however
much they may join in boundaries.
One may have contempt tor the utter
~ dissimilar, but it is difficult to
hate it.. The emotion may be re-
or dislike, but hate de-
mands that the object hated shall
be within a reasonable distance Of
being respected. 1t presupposes a pos,
sible equality. Consequently in
turn establishes a presumption of

much the Germanic intellect may re-
gard the Slav as barbaric. 4.
