mean reconciliation On the contrary, they
both savagely proclaim that the enemy must
not only be got down, but must be forever
kept down At this very moment both sides
are forging huge customs unions with the
avowed OBJECT OF waging a future economic
struggle no less impiacable than the present
struggle Of arms Even scientists and lit
terateurs disrupt the ancient commemorative
Of wisdom AMI beauty and put each other
turiously to the ban.
Take, for instance, the change Of sentiment
in Germany since the outbreak of the war.
During the last generation white self-con-
seriousness was strong in Germany. Under the
influence Of Count Gob,ncsu Houston Stewart
Chamberlain and a host OF lesser authorities
the cult OF the "Godlke Aryan' was more
widespread in Germany than in any other
portion Of the white world, except, perhaps,
the Southern states Of America Ii is true
that the lingo wing OF this German school OF
thought tended TO restrict Clympian attributes
20 a certain special Aryan type--thc Teuton.
Nevertheless II IS noteworthy fact that when
ever during the European crises which pre-
coded the present war, the colder blooded dis
oiples Of unreI.eved Nachtp5ltk preached
such doctrines as alliances with Psn-Islam or
Japan they were at once strenuoIsly opposed
as race traitors by powerful sections OF Ger

Since The beginning OF the war, however,
the Revision OF German feeling on this score
is truly deplorable The havoc wrought in the
German ranks by black Senegalese and yellow
Gurkhas on the batle6e.ls OF France and
Flanders; Incorporate Allied uttcrances like
Lord Curzon's wish 70 sec Bengal lancers in
the Inter den Linden and Gurfhas camping
at Sans Souci, and Anglo French efforts to
get japanese army corps into the European

the legend OF white invincibility fell shattered
on the battlefelds Of the Russo Japanese War
all Asia had thrilled with the intoxicating hope
Of some day shaking OIL the Cauoasian's heavy

century must have been an era OF white recoh

~ TIETZSCHEANISM or rather that

L when We use the word, has as yet
had little influence on American life and
thought" said Willard Huntington Wright in
answer to a question put to him.
"A word of explanation about what we call
Nietzscheansm is necessary" he went on
"Nietzsche was not philosopher in the sense
that Socrates and Kant were; and so-caued
Nietzscheanism is not. strictly speaking, a
philosophy at ALL Il is a point Of view,
mental attitude a state of intellectual health
perhaps even Of physical health. It is a COM
bination Of certain qualities which regulate
and determine ones manner OF approach
toward the problems of life. Every intellectu-
ally and physically vrilc man in history has
at some time in his life been dominated and
guided by the individualshc and ant-moral
spirit which we call Nietzscheanism. 1t was
Nietzsche who brought together and ooordi-
mated in massive and interpretatiye work
these mental qualities and physical impulses
How would you define simply what we call
the Nietzschean point Of view?" l asked.
FACE PROBLEMS FRANKLY.
We'll briefly" Mr.. Wright answered, q
would say that it was the ability to face the
problems Of existence frankly honestly, fear
Iessly, without prcconceived ideas and to solve
those problems without resorting to plattudes
and sentimentalides."
"And you think that method is opposed TO
the American method of dealing with prob
iems9"

far England's game, though dangerous, was
perhaps inevitable. But England did not stop
there She soon concluded with Japan fresh
alliance treaty so general and tarreachng in
character that nearly all white men in the Far
East. including most emphatically Englishmen
themselves. have denounced it as something
pretty close 70 race treason.
1t is with a melancholy sigh that one looks
back at those eyentful opening years Of the
twentieth century, so near and yet far. and
notes the numerous tokens Of white solidarity
then evident throughout the world. Both
Britain and Russia were at that time sternly
taken to task for their respective policies
French schemes for the raising Of huge black
army Of African savages for use in Europe
were almost universally condemned. In the
darkest hour Of the Boer war English public
opinion refused to sanction the use Of brown
Indian troops against the white foe In those
years there existed genuine moral repug-
nance against settling domestic differences by
calling in the alien without the gates.
