genuine, it can only mean that the Cleri-
cal party is acting in cooperation with
Austria. since the same influences which
dominate the Clerical party control in the
Austrian government and emanate from
Rome. 1t is not necessary to point out
that if Austria desires peace to the extent
of being prepared to accept the formula
Of no indemnities and no annexations-the
formula Of the Russian Revolution and of
n large element Of the German Socialist
party-and that to the German Socialist
is added the strong Roman Catholic Cen
ire. then we shall have a crisis in Germany
of very great meaning.
But it must not be supposed that this
crisis will lead or can lead to German
acceptance of the terms Of peace of France
or Great Britain. 1t is inconceivable that
the Clerical party of Germany would even
consider the surrender of Alsace-Lorraine,
lust as it is unlikely that the Austrian
Crown would contemplate the cession of
Trieste to Italy.
A real step toward peace may be made
if the result of the present German crisis
is the adoption by Germany Of the Russian
formula of peace without annexation. To
such a formula Austria would necessarily
agree. A continued failure of the Allies
in the field to win a decisive victory would
unouestionably generate a certain sentl-
ment in France and in England for
peace by negotiation rather than further
persistence in seeking a military decision.
1t is not in the least likely that the
present German crisis means a revolution
in Germany or means disorganization Of
German power comparable with what has
happened in Russia. It is far more likely
that it is to be compared with one of the
various Cabinet crises which have taken
place either in France or in Great Britain
since the war began. If it ends in the
adoption of a programme of conquest and
indemnity. it will necessarily strengthen
the Allied governments with their people
and it must ultimately weaken the German
government in the eyes of its own people,
who are frankly war weary.
1t is a great crisis, fraught with meal
culable possibilities, but it is not necessa-
rily or probably the beginning of the col
lapse of Germany, and it may easily re-
suit in the strengthening of the German
government in the eyes of its own people
if it brings the German government to
adopt a moderate programme which will
be ioyfully accepted by Germany's allies
and will place a new burden upon the gov
ernments of the Allied nations. Mean
time, what is most interesting must be not
the course of the Socialists or the Radi-
Gals, but of the Clerical Centre. Unless it
supports Bethmann he will ultimately have
to go, and if it insists upon an adoption of
the peace without annexation formula it
will in the end prevail. Meantime, it is
great deal too early to interpret as vic
tory for democracy and promise Of peace
what may not be more than a question of
domestic politics.
