THE NEW INTERNATIoNALIsM.
In his latest article in the Century DR.. David
Jayne Hill makes plain his conviction that
there will be great development of the inter
national idea following the war; indeed, such an
expansion is, in Dr. Hills opinion, the prob
able force to end the war. He argues that this
nation would never have considered becoming
a party to this war for the purpose OF imposing
any form of democratic government on any PEG
! pie. We are convinced that the principles o.
democracy are the only foundation on which
enduring peace and independence of nations
and individuals can be based, but we have no
!, militant motive of convincing other nations by
| force of arms. We are fighting Germany be-
cause she is using Illegal cruel and immoral
means to force world to give up principles OF
democracy; we are resisting tyrannical spirit,
not promoting it. Germany's violence has made
and continued this war, and our part is to help
in putting an end to this violence
DR.. Hill deems it Of particular Importance
that all means be taken to convince German
open-minded opinion-and DR.. Hill believes
that such opinion exists in Germany-that the
benefits Of the victory seek will be interna-
itional benefits. This would simply seem to
mean that we must try to make the German
people believe that we honestly adhere to the
presidents declaration of our motives in his
speech to congress on declaring state of war.
Dr. Hill suggests that we mig ht make positive
our attitude of opposition to any national sell
| fshness in declaring the peace conditions. In
| this and other suggestions in Dr. Hill's article
| the desirability of the end sought is more
! easily perceived than the means to attain it.
But the whole article is able presentation Of
a new nationalism by mind trained to in
sight and foresight by practice in law, in state
craft and in international administrative prac
tice. 1t is complete refutation OF the propa
ganda that seeks to discredit the necessity Of
this nations entrance mo the and world
affairs.
