days under the shadow of the mailed
fist; to be regulated, watched and
commanded like a raw recruit in the
awkward squad; to never feel for
moment free from the hand of the
government; to have the sUperhuman
origin and divine warrant of the kali
ser dinned eteTnally in your ears; to
walk in hourly dread of the lurking
police agent and 'eavesdrOpping spy;
to be in danger of persecution for the
least remark offensive to the ruler;
to be seized at your cradle and mold
ed all your days for the greater glory
of the HOhenzOlerns?
Americans could no more live in
such an atmosphere than they could
thrive in a vacuum. They would suf-
focate in it. Yet that is the Prus-
sian idea.
1t is time to have done with fooIing
and dreaming. This world is to be
autocratic or democratic, just as this
war turns out. If Germany wins there
will be an alignment of all the autoc-
racies against what remains of the
democracies until the democratic
idea is permanently down and out.
Whether Germany wins on land or
wins by her U-boat campaign, the re-
suit is exactly the same for democra-
cy and for US.
We live or die with the democra-
cies of Europe.
The only choice we have,is wheth-
er We shall let them fight our battle
and perhaps lose it, or whether we
shall take our place with them and
in this final struggle between free
dom and monarchy play the part Of a
nation of men.
But if we are going to crawl on our
bellies let's make a good job of it and
not pretend to do anything else. One
thing or the other. Crawl or walk
