Mr. Chesterton Takes Germa-Amecan Professor to Task

Il is this which separates the philoso-
phic tyranny OF Germany from the IN
cidental tyranny Of everybody else. Il
is not necessary TO maintain. and have
never dreamed OF maintaining. that Eng.
land has not done silly. panic-stricken
or oppressive things II Is not even nee

as a chance of wiping one OF.
But these disputes do not even touch
the fundamental division in philosophy
OF which l am speaking here. The Eng.

They do not explain the death OF Sheehy
Skeffington by saying that they were

a Gaelic termination and the second
traces of a TeutOnic one. Nor does any
English Don from Oxford or Cambridge

of the romantic Hberality of England.

tribe. AS ! have already said. the differ-
ence is so real that il can be turned the
other way and stated in a manner more
unfavorable to ourselves. 1t may very
well be argued that the attitude OF Eng.
land has been more wicked than Ger.
many, being the attitude OF a civilized
State. and therefore more Of a sin against
the light And. whether this be- true or
no, it brings Us closer to the core OF the
truth
For Professor Wall has let slip the
secret which is the weakness OF his posi-
ton. The truth is that. when he talks
about helping a nation" he does not
know what we mean by a nation, and, II
possible, even less what the Belgians or
the Irish mean by a nation. He does
really suppose that Il is a sort OF race
that it is something at least akin 10 haV.

racial business is what is at the back Of
so many modern German things I. is
materialism. which brings forth wilder
manias than any spiritualism. For a race
is something like a river-automatic and
almost inanimate. But a nation. liko a
church, is built out OF the souls of men.

describes Germany as a friend OF small
nations. end then actually quotes Bel
GUM as an example OF this interesting
generalization. II is obvious that We
have here to do with an important dis
tinction and a somewhat remarkable
state Of mind. To say that Cain was
very sympathetic person although be
murdered Abel is something analogous
10 much that has been written in mod
ern psychology and casuistry. But to
say that Cain was sympathetic fellow
because he murdered Abel is something
which the mildest criticism can only
describe as extraordinary.
Here, as everywhere, I would avoid
anything like a confused or inconsistent
accumulation of charges against Ger
many. German moral philosophy is bad;
but it is bad in particular way. And.
like most things that are bad in par
ticular way. II can even appear as good.
If we state it in a particular way. We
might say with some real truth OF Pro-
fes9or Wall that his conscience appears
to - at rest l will not disguise the
suspicion that the rest Of his conscience
is partly due to the avoidance OF any
undue restlessness in his intellect; but
II is impossible to imagine that any man
would pick out so unlucky an example
If he felt anything like what the rest OF
the world feels about it.
We must constrain ourselves to be-
lieve. therefore, that Germany's CON.
duct to Belgium really is the Professors
idea of how a little nation should be
treated, and even of how a little nation
would like to be treated. Probably he
thinks that Switzerland. Denmark and
Holland stood around in an ecstasy OF
joyful expectation, hoping every moment
that they too might be invaded by ten
or twelve foreign army corps. He
imagines them eagerly signalling to the
Prussians to say that they also had sew.
eral famous historic buildings to be
burned down, and numerous municipal
mayors and village cures whose one
dream in life had been to be arrested
and shot. He pictures. as I conceive,

elected nationalities waiting in a kind
OF queue for a private interview with
Won Kissing. ! am treating Professor
Walz's remark rather wildly; but really
do not know how else to treat it.
But the case is clinched when we con-
slider tohy the professor makes this as
founding claim. He makes It on the
ground that something called the Flemish
race will owe its emancipation to Ger
many. Professor Walz strikes me as
being, in all probability, one OF those
people who mean we'll; but the question
is not whether he means we'll; the ques-
tion is what he means by meaning well.
He himself may be capable, for all l
know, OF raiding a peaceful country, seiz-
ing its cities, and sweeping It's army to
destruction, not for strategy or for terri
tory, but solely because he thinks that in
that particular country the dark-haired
men have undue social advantages over
the fair-haired men. He may be quite

The Professors Mistaken
Notions About Wallis.

They would be very exciting novels,
but we should not have much time to
write them. And. as for my American
friends and critics, to whom the inno-
cent professor actually addresses him.

sent me Professor Walz's article as an
antidote to the poison which 1t is my
nature to exude, what are we 20 say OF

Professors plan of racial disentangle-

cessful experiment in democracy and
peace; and 1 have never Joined in the
shallow sneers at 1t for putting great
value on its peace. But what will its
peace be worth on the day when the ma
tons of the world all come looking for
races in it. and quarreling about which
of the races is properly treated there?
And this sort of thing is what Pro
fessor Walz quite seriously calls be-
friending nationalities. This. as l say.
is the whole difference. The purpose OF
the Princes of the Prussian ruling caste

tic as their atheist father. Frederick the
Great; but l am now speaking Of that
more ignorant and sentimental sort OF
atheism which marks their tools the Pro-
fessors, and which most Enthusiastically
marks Professor Walz. So far as he is
concerned, Belgium has been turned into
a hell in order that he might pave IL
with his good intentions. Those inten-
tons seem to him so obviously good that
he actually brandishes Belgium before
us as his instance, and as his first in
stance, that Germany is Nationalist and
