The person who put this Vlew ln
leold print was not simply expressing
his individual opinion. he was
spokesman for a class oi Americans
nho are convinced that they a
species Of loyalty b England One
lof their number, Dir. Richard 0lney,
who was secretary Of State ia Pre-
sldont Cleyeland's Cabinet, defined
this allegiance 10 England as "raee
patriotism. Ia q carefully prepared
article which appeared In the AT
lantic Monthly" some years ago, he
declared that "race patriotism" would
impose upon the American people the
duty Of going 10 the assistance Of
"the Mother Country" II II should
ever find itself in a critical position
such az it is now facing. II will be
seen, then, that there is a need for
holding a Peace Convention such as
that which win assemble in Chicago
on next Labor Day.
The Olneys and the Eliots Of this
country are bent upon dragging the
United States into war in the event
of certain things happening. If
England be darkened by the shadow
Of assured defeat in the gigantic
conflict she has precipitated to per-
petuate her tyrannical rule Of the
@seas-if, we say, the shadow Of as
sured defeat should enyelop England
in the coming months, the greatest
pressure ever brought To bear upon
any Administration or any Congress
win be exerted at Washington TO in
duce u Government to array itself
openly on the side Of the country
that did its best TO disrupt the
American Union when we were
fighting for our national existence.
The machinery for exerting this
pressure Is already in existence. A.
press that takes its inspiration from
london viii bend all Its energies to
moulding a strong %pro-English aenti
ment. The money power that Is
bound to modern Babylon by SO many
ties, win do the same thing. Social
influences, as represented by the mil.
Honaries who have bartered Off their
daughters for an English title, win
also DO brought into play. The degen-
crate Americans who are classified
as Anglo-maniaes viii be doing
yeomen's service In behalf Of the
country that has the first claim upon
their loyalty.
II Is true that all the active
recruits England can rally TO her
side In the United States form a
small minority Of the American
people, But it Is a minority that Il
is not safe 10 ignore, as it has at
It's command very effective agencies
for propaganda work. During the
last twelve months we have seen how
the press il controls has spread
distorted views as 10 tho causes Of
the greatest Of wars. Wa have seen
how that press has represented Eng
land as battling for the freedom Of
the world at the very time sho was
.tyrannizing over the worlds water
ways and practising piracy against
the commerce Of the United States
and Of other neutral countries. II ID
a fair sample Of the manner In which
pro- English organs are doing Eng
lands work.
Another sample Of The way IN
which these pro-Engllsh sheets serve
England's interests Is furnished by
their defense Of taking Of blood
money by American manufacturers,
who are supplying England and her
alliaa with Tho munitions Of war
