NO DISMENIBERMENT.

President Wilson probably voices the con
illusions of dspassionate statesmen every
where when he considers the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of the central empires inexpedient It is no
part of our duty to civilization to break up
Germany, had we the power to do so, or to i'm
pose a government on the Teutonic peoples
which.they do not want. That idea of dismem
bering nations or appropriating them bodily is
German, not American; and unless it shall be
absolutely necessary for the peace and safety
of mankind to break up the solidarity of Ger
many, we may be certain it will not be done.
But we may waste no time or thought on
this. The present indications are that the peo-
pies of the central empires will at time not
far away determine for themselves the form of
government they will have It is perfectly
proper that they should and if this right shall
be conceded to the Teutonic peoples, on what
theory shall it be denied the Magyars, Serbs
and Poles7 With what justice can any nation
or group Of nations in the world of tomorrow
undertake to say that French Alsace- Lorraine,
Rumanian Pennsylvania and Italian Trieste
shall not decide for themselves with what great
power, if any, they will cast in their lot? Rul-
ers and statesmen may speculate and make
their promises and plans, but the probability
seems to be that an age is dawning when peo
pies, races and ethnic groups will be free to
realize their national aspirations; and no great
and greedy neighbors or concert of the powers
shall say them nay.
