Gus dollars will have to be
spent before the war is brought
to a successful conclusion and
many thousands of young Amer
leans will be unnecessarily kill
ed. All that the German general
staff really needs in the way
of war propaganda is liberal
supply Of quotations from such
spokesmen of democracy as the
New York Times and Sun or
the Morning Post of London.
There is no eXaggeration in
the foregoing indictment. The
cables from Copenhagen and
Amsterdam have illustrated re-
peatedly the obstacles which
American jlngoism is placing in
the path Of American democratic
diplomacy. German liberal Jour
nails have been obliged to warn
their readers against the way
in which American newspapers
have perverted the meaning of
the Presidents reply, and the
great difficulty which the Ca
tholic Centrists have had of
converting the Presidents offer
into help rather than into
hindrance to their work on be-
half of reform in Germany has
been its popular Interpretation
III America as a mere shrek of
defiance, This kind of talk or
writing is clearly malehcent.
The President has officially
adopted the contention that the
war can be won for liberalism
if and only if military force can
be redeemed by clarifying and
reassuring diplomacy. Hence
forth any American citizen or
newspaper who breaches an ir-
reconcilable program, who in
dulges in angry recrininations
against the whole German ma
ton and who insists upon mill
tary victory as the only instru-
ment OF political and moral
victory is. injuring the successful
prosecution of the war by his
own government. The most
flagrant pacihst a4lr5 wishes 10
stop the fighting before the end
is achieved is not giving any
more aid and comfort to the
enemy than the lingo whose talk
and whose program tend to &C.
ment the union between the
German people and the German
government. True patriotism, even
in the midst of war, has ceased
to mean prescription, the ex-
treme of emotional intemper-
ance, a harsh Jacobinism of
mind, and the systematic at.
tempt either actually or morally
to lynch everyone whom the
patriot prefers to suspect or
to dislike. It has come rather
TO mean, as it did in>the case of
Abraham Lincoln, scrupulous
fairness Of attitude towards
within and without tie
gates, ultimate stability of ma
tional purpose, and an indefatig.
able and open-minded attempt
to fulfil it in the least costly
way by uniting the immediate
resistance of war with a polite
al policy of ultimate concilia-
ton.
