, many as q. great power, he merely
reiterates more clearly what BrftIsh
and American statesmen have said
that this is q war not against the
German people who have not yet been
awakened to the terrible repute their
autocratic government has given
them, but against the institution of
militarism personified by the Kaiser
and the general stan. which has let
no scruple of conscience, no dictate
OF humanity and no principls of
civilization, stand In the way of q
brutal lust for power and world
domination.
Mr.. Lansdowne's second idea that
we do not seek to impose upon the
German people any form of govern
ment ctheE than that Of their own
choice" is absolutely IN line with the
Presidents declaration in his reply 70
the Pope when he asked merely that
responsible government should be
set up, one whose word could be taken
by the rest OF the world.
Voices President's idea.
When Mr.. Lansdowne proposes that
the allies should firmly renounce their
intention of waging an economic war
against Germany after peace has
been declared. he expresses exactly
President Wilson's ideas, but the
other entente belligerents have per-
mitted the Presidents attitude on
this subject to be an Individual one,
and while 1t was Great Britain and
Franco who threatened an economic
war In the famous Paris conference,
to which the United States was not a
party, have not yet repudiated that
agreement.
There Is some reason to believe that
In starting an agitation on this phase of
war ainns. the Marquis OF LansdoEne
h1s more sympathy in the British Gov
ernment than may at first be apparent,
and that the hope Is to influence certain
imperialist elements in France to 4 more
LIBERAL attitude.
Questions relating to the freodam Of
h, seas and the settlement Of !nterna-
tional disputes by peaceful means have
been stated and re-stated by all the al
LED statesmen, but a renewed emphasis
in order to contradict the distorted
views OF allied war aims with which the
imperial government Is able to keep the
German people consolidated Is consid-
cred vital point for entente strategy
Just now.
On the whole II Is a fact that the
Marquis Of Lansdowne has started
something which is not pacinsm in
the sense OF desiring to weaken the
hand Of the allies and bring about a
premature peace, but liberalism in the
sense Of seeking to strengthen the
allied crusade for international denoc.
