4 merica Might Have Had
a the European Problem

There are millions Of Germans living as
loyal Americans in the United States
Their minds are welded to the American
mind and they are what ali Germans would
have been il they had not made the fatal
mistake Of fighting the great destiny which
sweeps through history. From Babylon to
Egypt, from Egypt to Rome, from Rome to
Paris. from Paris 10 Britain and from
Britain to the new world the lamp of lib
erty and truth. the fiery pillar of cloud,
pass on amid the moving tabernaces of
man. If Germans had established them
selves as d separate speaking and separate
thinking community in the heart of The
United States you would have had here Il
repetition OF the European problem-au
international, law-abding commonwealth
surrounding, yet not absorbing, a special
and irroconciable racial group. The fight
for one language and one citizenship il
America is thus the same fight which
Julius Cesar fought for unity and security
in Europe. Unfortunately, Rome loved
luxury and tolerated dssension. She com.
promised with the enemy at her gates.
Never forget that Britain herself Is
Anglo Saxon, that is, in measure, Ger
man by blood The Angles and the SaXons
were both German tribes. But what hap
pened was, first, that in country, as in
yours, the German mind was welded to the
mind OF another race, the Celt and,
ond, that Germanized England went under
a renewed education by these who inner
tied the Roman tradition. The Norman
conquest revived the Roman occupation.

ID ORSE RACING has latterly attracted

w OAST goose is to the Germans-or
was before the war-what roas5
4 y turkey is to the Americans. By.
d ~ inc goose has become q rare bird
ir Germany under wa conditions. Before
H. war Russian Poland had been for tae
G elman markets the chief source o1 supply
2 the raw material, or lean geese Since
Poland was conquered the Germans have
been trying 10 pat the goose trade there
AGAIN upon It's feet; and at Berlin big
monopoly concern called the Goose Trading
Company was organized under government
auspices, with the object Of importing
geese FROM Poland and the other border
countries taken from Russia.
This company st.nated that il would DC
able 10 import some 100000 TO Soooeo head
This autumn from those regions and had
made its plans accordingly, taking orders
right and left from cities hungry for roast
aoose. But the arrivals have proved most
Gisappointing. and the company has bean
compelled TO inform its prospective CHS
5oners that it cannot deliver the goods.
The trouble it is explained is not that
there are no geese to be had. but that the
maximum prices have been liked too low by
the War Food Board. The company IS al
lowed to pay only seventeen marks q head
and to sell at twenty marks. without regard
for the size of the birds But the growers
are able to sell to private traders at con-
.ide1ably higher prices; hence the Goose
Trading Company can pick up only The
refuse Of the market, small or very lean
birds.
Great hopes for roast goose We're also
