Praises Germans.

"There exists no finer body of Am
erican citizens in this country than
those citizens Of German birth or de-
scent who are in good faith Americans
and nothing else. y y The profess
sional German7American has shown
himself within the last IL months to
be an enemy to this country as well
as to humanity. The recent expos
;5ures Of the war in which these Ger
man-Americans have worked together
with the emisaries of the German
government-often by direct corrup.
tion-against the integrity of Amer
lean institutions and against America
doing its international duty, should
arouse scornful indignation in every
American worth calling such, The
leaders among the professional Ger
man4Americans have preached and
practiced what comes perilously near
to treason against the United States.
Under The Hague convention it
was our bounden duty to take what
ever action was necessary to prevent
and, if not to prevent, then to undo,
the hideous wrong that was done to
Belgium. We have shirked this dutp.
We have shown a spirit SO abiect.
that Germany has deemed it safe to
kill our women and children on the;
high seas. AS for the export of mu-
nitions OF war, it would be a base abb
andonment of morality to refuse to-
make these shipments. Such a re-
fusal Is proposed only to favor the
nation that sank the Lusitania and
THE Arabic and committed the crime
against Belgium, the greatest iIterna-
ltional crime committed since the close
of the Napoleonic contests Of a cen
fury ago. 1t is not a lofty thing, on
the contrary it is an evil thing to
practice a timid and selfish neutral
ity between right and wrong. 1T Is
wrong for an individual. 1t is still
worse for a nation.
What Is Worse.
But 1t is worse in the name OF nen-
trality, to favor the nation that has
done evil. Exactly the same
morality should obtain internationally
that obtains nationally. 1t Is right
for q private firm to furnish arms tc
the policeman who puts down the
thug. the burgker, the white slave,
and the black handler. II lis wrong
to furnish the black handler, the burg
lar and the white SLAYER with weap
ons to be used against the police
man.
The analogy holds true in interna.
tional lite. Germany has herself
been the greatest manufacturer d
munitions Of war to be supplied Il

American exporters TO send war sup

missioncrs. one appointed by each gov
crnment.
