The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-11-23

With the exception of the coun-
tries leagued with her in this un-
holy war, Germany is an outcast
among the nations Of the earth.
Germany is not feeling the
blighting effects Of this ostracism
now as she will feel it in the years
! to come. She claims that her pol
icy Of frigiltfulness is a necessary
measure Of self-defense, yet this
Of a state Of war between that
same policy has alleinated num-
bers Of nations that but for that
inhuman course would today be,
if not her avowed friends, at
least strictly neutral.
Peace will come after while,
and in the reckoning Germany s
course will be laid bare before a
just and discriminating world.
We say *just and discriminate
ing" because we believe, despite
Germany's frightful detection
from national humanity and hon
or, the large majority Of the peo-
pies Of the earth are at heart hui
name and honorable. And the la
tent principles Of humanity and
Justice that underlie and form the
bedrock foundations of all civil
lied nations, have revolted and
will continue to revolt against
the savagery displayed by that
would-be fount of "kultur
This antipathy will take the
form Of a prejudice against not
only Germany as a nation, but
against the German blood. Not
all the peoples Of the earth have
the finely discrimi mating judg-
ment of President Wilson, and
not all Of them will be able to
separate the acts Of the German
Government from the impulses
Of, the German people.
It is a common thing to hear,
even in charity-loving America,
references to "German brutality'
and German savagery" It is
Of no avail to tell the people that
this brutality and savagery is the
result of "system' and that in
reality the German people as a
whole do not countenance it. HUI
man nature is prone to believe |
that actions speak louder than
words, and Germany s actions
will form the complaints evil
dence when Germany comes to
trial before the people Of the
earth.
The German bed will be bed 7
Of thorns for generations to
come.

has grown frmer internally because OF

Russia's many nationalities deVel-
oped their separatist tendencies to
perilous degree when korniloff's army
was triumphantly marching upon

d;sintegrating forces lie low, because
the very source Of their life, the reyo-

When Kerensky committed Russia
early in the summer to federal gov
ernment of autonomous nationalities
he also committed a grave error. MS
declaration stimulated the various
races and peoples composing Russia to
establish their autonomy Immediately,

introduce socialism into Russia imme-

chance to pass upon the matter. AT
the same time the Ukrainians, or
Little Russians, numbering about
twenty millions and inhabiting the rich
southern section Of the country, con-
vened in Kief and set up practically
autonomous government there. The
Cossacks demanded the establishment
of an autonomous Cossackdom. The
Caucasian tribes developed national
programmes, while Lithuania, White
Russia and Siberia urged their nation

For a time il looked as if the prob

wreck the New Russia. so grave was
the crisis they provoked. The Cabine.
was divided on the attitude to be
adopted toward the two nationalitles,
and this only melted the latter &c
further provocation. Finland practi-
cally declared herself independent, and
for a while il seemed that she would
be allowed to 60, although the action
was declared illegal by the Russian au-

Russia's Peril Stops Secess on Moves

dence is a perfectly good and justifa-
BILE one. The Social revolutionists, the
party of which Kerensky is a member.
really believe that if the Firms, by a
referendum, insist on complete separa-
ton from Russia, their demands should
be satisfied. But what these Russian
Socialists, together with the Provision
al Government, claim is that there is
no authority in Russia 20 pass upon
the subject; that the Provisional Gov
eminent has no right TO pass upon any
fundamental question of state; that the
only lawful organ OF Russia IS the
Constituent Assembly, which will not
meet till December. The Russians point
70 the fact that they had postponed the
solution OF the land and other basic ma
tional problems till the meeting Of the
Constituent Assembly, which will build
the Constitution of the New Russia.
The logic Of this argument must
have had a considerable effect on the
separatist nationalities, in addition 10
the effect produced by the present con-
dition Of Russia. To-day the peril Of
immediate dissolution is almost gone.
II has been replaced by strong tend
encv toward consolidation. And il is
safe 70 assume that it will continue TO
be dead during Russia's days of trouble.
When the young republic gains its
health and striking power the danger
is likely TO reappear. But by that time
the Constituent Assembly will probably
have met and elaborated a federal sys-
tenn Of government for the multi-rscial
country on the type of the United
states. a type generally favored in Rus
IA.
