The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1918-11-25
How is she going to

= h,vino natio~ s"e
u puyn.s n -, TO give her these
markets. ~4ea she would have sent
ner '''o .asAhds of emigrants to colo
nize, with rigid instructions to de-
mand German goods and thereby
create a condition that would force
,importations. That day is past, if
the nations are wise, for in all such
cases Germans colonial idea carried
with it the control of politics
through colony ballots. 1t is incon-
ceivable that any nation should ever
again cater to the German vote or
allow it to be in control of even
fraction of national activities.
With all nations on guard against
Germanising influences, that plan
must be Abandoned. If Germany, in
her stupid disregard of all rights and
,prejudices, should attempt to again
get control Of any part of the nation
al affairs of America or Canada or
Brazil, for instance it will probably
lead to the barring of intercourse
with her definitely.
1t is difficult to ascertain where
she can first gain a foothold. With
her reputation blackened by her own
acts, her rotten methods thoroughly
exposed, it will be hazardous thing
for any nation to attempt to deal
with her.
It is a matter that calls for the
sober, calm study Of master minds,
the consideration Of all nations OPP
posed to Germanic ideas and the au-
tocratic domination of Germany. It
must be made a matter of the most
careful consideration for upon the
policy adopted by the nations will
depend much of their own welfare.
There must be limit set for leu
tonic activity, a bound beyond which
they dare not go or it will be only
a question Of time until the world
will again have to take up the task
of beating Hun devilishness.
1t is time for the nations and their
deepest thinkers to begin to plan and
consider, for it will not be long now
untiI the Hun will be wanting to
emigrate from Hunland to escape
the burdens he has helped to create
He must not be allowed to shirk his
task. He must be the one to pick up
the burden and stagger along under
it. He must not be allowed to shift
it to other shoulders, in part or in
entirety.
The forces of many nations have
been harnessed in the effort to ham,
mer some reasonable degree of sense
into the Hunaish head. Next will
come the prodigious effort to hold
him to his work and force him to
walk the straight and narrow path
1t is to be almost as hard task as
fighting him into submission, if the
way he is preparing for a CONNER
cial campaign is any criterion.
Unless he is so hedged about by
rigid, inflexible guards that he can
do only the right thing, he will soon
be doing the wrong one. 1t is folly
to- think that getting whipping will
change the Hun nature. A cracked
crown will not ensure rejuvena
ton. He will be no more spiritually
redeemed than he will be physically
:restored by the war. The liv.-, 8.
Hun will need process Of refiniI, :,
that will require more than one gen
Grafton. The dead Hun, thank GOO,
viii help to hold him where he be-
longs by the thinning out of evil
blood when he died.
Ii So let US plan now for what comes
later that we may enjoy life with
no fear of despotic oppression in the
future years. We must weld steel
ring, such as Kaiser Wilhelm loved
W rave dDouI, IHdt VIII heep the
Prussian on his good behavior for
the next two thousand years. In
that length Of time, the world of de-
cency may make some progress to-
! ward the elimination Of the savage
part Of his nature, and so bring him
TO where he is safe neighbor for
decent people.
