sioning Of English officers and officials
disseminating falsehoods. in a calcu-
lated effort TO make this free land sub
servient TO English interests and TO

that strong and independent nation
Of Germans would be a danger TO
America and would violate the Monroe
Doctrine in spite OF the fact that our

maritime intercourse OF the world.

How convincing and beautiful in the

were cOncerned-these professions
which chant Of higher freedom and
justice, hymn its own love for peace,
raise peans to the noble aims Of its
own politics.
But. Of course, higher liberty and
true justice may be-Prof Cramb gives

Liberty Where England RuIes
Here also emerges the true meaning

the eyes OF the ignorant mob. Liberty
means the liberty Of the ruling nation

! freedom means the freedom Of the rich
10 suppress the poor: justice in its
higher meaning is the justice which
the master metes out 70 his slaves.

Compare England and Germany.

would be dominion, and for Germany
liberty.
