negro. may be somewhat cynical of British
ethics. or at any rate of the practical
value OF Entente friendship yet they also
perfectly realize from German practice as
well as from the Pan-German treatises
(too lightly regarded outside of Germany
IN ante-bellum days. that there is no ma.
tonal future for them. no survival of
economic or political independence, in the
event of Turco- Teuton triumph. 1t is
true that Continental apologists for Bcr-
Inns foreign policy do not confne them
selves TO lecturing critics of Germany in
Belgium upon the strategic occupation of
Salonica by the Allies and the more re
cent demands upon Athens emphasized by
naval demonstration before the Piraus.
They delight to recall the crimes of Eng
land in times gone by, and her Spartan
harshnesS in suppressing the late out
break in Ireland. What they voluntarily
overlook is that the current German
policy, on land and sea, not only equals or
exceeds seven centuries of English crime
but also perfectly expresses the modern
German ideal as registered in the semi
official outgivings of the present EN-
peror's reign.
When the Great War began there were
almost as many anti-Britons in Holland
as anti-Germans, for England has been
the traditional land successfully rival of
Holland throughout the world. 1t would
be interesting to know just how the pro
portion stands to-day An American in
Holland writes: "All the Dutch object to
the way in which England and Germany
have treated their nation; whether the in
dividual Dutchman to whom one is speak
ing objects more to Germany than to Eng
land depends on whether he is an Amster-
dam aristocrat or a Rotterdam business
man." To Germany and England Holland
says: "a plague on both your houses"
This attitude is all the more natural be-
cause the Dutchman, like the average
American, seems to have stronger sense
of his rights than of his duties. After all,
however, it is the German economist, Won
Halle, and not some Englishman, who de-
clares lin a book of which the German
Foreign Office has by no means disap-
proved) how "monstrous" it is that the
mouths of German rivers" should be
dominated by foreigners. Indeed, one
finds this view echoed approvingly by
Professor Simon n. Patten, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who seemingly
would agree with Paul Behn that "by its
situation in the heart of Europe and by
reason of the economic importance of this
