OUR PROTEST AGAINST WAR
CBy DAVID stat R JoRDAN)

In the conduct OF the present war
In Europe there are many incidents
which to us of the United States seem
TO be violations of treaties. or of COM
mon decency and humanity. II il the
desire of the great body OF the people
OF the United States to be in full &C.

ident Wilson. But the neutrality as
between the interests OF the struggling
people does not involve indifference
or ignorance in regard to the events
OF this war. Our judgments must be

son, harsh as truth, uncompromis-
ing as Justice"
IL seems to us that the acts which
are apparently unjustified cannot be
separated individually. but that all
are parts OF a political system. alien
to our thought and feelings. and with
manifestations which we abhor.
The idea that a State has an exist
ence apart from the will and the well
fare OF the people residing in IL is not
an American idea. To us the State
has no moral right superior to that OF
the people within IL. and we cannot
admit that 1t may expand its strength.
or extend its culture by a forcible as
sertion of its will on other States.
In the matter of Belgium. the Amer
lean people see not alone the viola.
lions OF treaties. the disregard for
the pledges at The Hague. but the
breaking OF faith with civilization.
But while these facts are illustrated
by individual deeds of greater or less
moment. IL is not the part OF our ma
ton TO enter complaint as 10 particu-
lar cases OF breach of International
faith. We recognize that all the
events in Belgium are part OF a gener-
al plan of domination through force
and fear. an attempt through military
efficiency and merciless dealing with
the people OF small or refractory
States TO secure the domination OF
Europe.
The defense OF German culture
against the Latin and the Slav has
been for years interpreted in terms OF
aggression the enforcement OF the
national will through relentless mill
tary efficiency. World-powe has been
held as the national ideal and down
fall as the only possible alternative.
To this scheme as a whole. as we'll

there have been unrolled before us.

the United States are unalterably op-
posed as. In earlier time, they have
