To Build Nitrate Plant.

Congress has appropriated $20,0O0,-
900 to build a nitrate plant. The sole
source of these salts today is Chill.
The council of national defense will
undertake the study which is intended
to make the United States government
Independent in the matter of produc-
ton of this absolutely essential ele-
ment of proper preparedness for de-
fense.
All kinds of industrial problems are
being studied by the members of the
council. The attempt is to get thor
ough knowledge of all the facilities
of the United States for comprehensive
Industrial work, so that preparedness
along these lines may keep pace with
actual military preparedness. Indus
trial organizations all over the United
States have made offers Of assistance
to the government.
President Wilson not long ago
summed up the duties Of the council
and the advisory commission in
words which put the case succinctly:
"The council of national defense
has been created because congress has
realized that the country is best pre-
pared for war when thoroughly pre-
pared for peace. From an economic
point of view there is now very little
difference between the machinery re-
quired for commercial efficiency and
that required for military purposes.
In both cases the whole industrial
mechanism must be organized in the
most effective way. Upon this concep-
ton of the national welfare the coun-
Gil is organized in the words of the act
for "the creation Of relations which
will render possible in time of need
the immediate concentration and utill-
zation of the resources of the nation"
The organization Of the council like
wise opens up new and direct chan
nel of communication and cooperation
between business and scientific men
and all departments Of the govern
ment, and it Is hoped that it will, in

the embassy. This statement - not
entirely true. 1 seIfishly kept that
pleasure for myself.
The case OF Somborn gave me an
idea. and cabled to the Department
OF State asking authority to take up
the passports OF all Americans who
abused their own country, on the
ground that they had Violated the
right, by their abuse, to :hs protection
OF q passport. The Department of
State sustained my view, and by my
direction the consul in Dresden took
up the passports OF a singer Damed
Rains and q gentleman OF leisure
named Recknagel. who mad united In
addressing q letter to tho Dresden
newspapers abusing the Pl esident. It
was some time before got Somborn's
passport: later on / received from him
the apologies Of a broken and contrlte
man, and obtained permission from
Washington to issue him q passport In
order to snable him to return to
America
viIiflers Of Own Country.
OF course. these viIifiers of their
own country were loud in their de-
nunciations Of me, but the prospect
VI iosinB the protectlon OF thelr pass
ports kept many OF these men from
open and reasonable denunciation Of
their country.
The German government actually
encouraged the formation of societies.
which had for their very object the
scattering OF literature attacking the
President and the United States. The
most conspicuous OF these organiza-
tions was the so-called League of
Truth. Permanently connected with
1t was an American dentist who had
been in Jail in America and who had
been expelled from Dresden by the
The Washington times., 1917-10-17

against the Poles and the Danes, the
Alsatians and the Lorrainers, that
had aroused q combative instinct in
these peoples and made them cling
to every vestige OF their former ma
tionality.
Hate Centered First on Russia
At first, with the coming of the
war. the concentrated hate of the
German people seemed to be turned
upon the Russians. Even Liebknecht.
when he called upon me in order to
show that he had not been shot, as
reported in America. spoke of the
perils of Czarismus and the hatred OF
the German people for the Russians.
But later. and directed by the master
hand of the governing class, all the
hatred OF the Germans was concen-
trated upon England.
The cartoon in Punch representing
q Prussian family having its morning
"hate" was. in some respects. not at
all exaggerated. Hate in Germany
is cultivated as a noble passion. and
during the war divines and generals
We'd with each other in its praise.
Early in 1917 the Prussian general
in command at Limburg made a
speech in which he extolled the ad-
vantages OF hate and said that there
was nothing like getting up In the
morning after having passed a night
in thought and dreams OF hate.
Vogue Of ~Gott strafe England
The phrase, "Gott strafe England
seemed to be all over Germany. It
was printed on stamps to be affixed
to the back OF letters like our Red
Cross stamps I even found my Ger
man body servant in the embassy af-
The Washington times., 1917-10-17
hsL sLNZ6R NQEAE

fixing these stamps to the back OF all
letters, official and otherwise, that
were sent out. He was stopped when
discovered. RAper money was
stamped with the words, '-Gott strafe
England" ''und America" often being
added as the war progressed and as
America refused to change the rules
OF the game and stop the shipment
OF supplies to the allies.
Every one IL familiar with Lis.
sauer's Hymn of Hate" 1t is not
extraordinary that one man in a coun-
try at war should produce a compost
tion Of this kind. But II Is extraordi-
nary, as showing the state OF mind of
the whole country, that the Emperor
should have given him the high order
Of the Red Eagle OF the Second Glass
as . reward for having composed this
extraordinary document.
Undoubtedly, at first the British
prisoners of war were treated very
roughly and were starved and beaten
by their guards on the way from the
front TO the concentration camps
OfncerI, objects usually considered
more than sacred in Germany, even
when wounded. were subjected to
brutal treatment, and in the majority
of their prisons were treated more
like convicts than as officers and gen
tlemen.
Hate Next on America
As the Germans gradually awoke to
the fact that President Wilson was
not afraid OF the German vote and
that the export OF supplies from
America would not be-stopped. this
stream OF hate was turned on
America There was a belief in Ger
many that President Wilson was op-
posed by . majority OF the people OF
the United States, that he did not rep
resent the real sentiments OF America,
and that the sentiment there was
favorable to Germany.
Unfortunately, many Americans in
Germany encouraged the German peo-
pie and the German government IN
this belief. Americans used to travel
