was not whether the masses would
passively permit invasion, but what
would have been the result had they
followed this course.
The greatest factor against non

prejudice, a fire continually smoul-

which in times of stress is famed
into a devOuring flame by the foul
breath of capitalism flame which

added prosperity to them, still it is
reasonable to assume that the move
ment for democracy which had
gained such irresistible momentum
in Germany would continue, with the
enthusiastic cooperation of other
races, resulting in a speedy over
throw, without bloOdshed, of despOtic
rule throughout Europe.
Rebellion against autOcracy is a
cOmmendabIe human impulse neces-
.sary to the advancement Of civiliza-
ton, but where practically the only
questions at stake, as in Europe, is
whether dominion shall be vested in
a native or an alien, armed resistance
is of questionable benefit. If war can
ever be justified, it is only when the
freedom of the masses, the demOC-
racy which they have attained, is
jeOpardized by autocratic aggression,
foreign or otherwise. - Archer w.
