War After peace Comes

is the function Of the Federal govern
l ment through the Congress to declare war.
and the function Of the government through
the President and the Senate to make peace
lhese things can be accomplished through
decree and by treaty, but there is no power
lodged in the presidency or in the Congress
to compel an American citizen or any group
OF American citizens to bury their hate for
an enemy or to resume friendly relationship
with an enemy after has been terminated
These remarks are inspired by the very
omlnous warning which American business
men have served upon the business men OF
Germany through the National Chamber OF
Commerce. That organizations by n vote OF
l,2O4 to 1874. has notified the German people
mat an economic combination will be formed
against Germany unless the people of that
country set up government controlled by
themselves, government with which civilized
nations may deal with reliance
President Wilson has expressed the iudg-
ment in moro than one address that it would
be impolitic to make industrial war upon
Germany after the war OF arms had como
10 an end He did this in the face OF the
Paris conference, which had placed most OF
the allied powers on record in favor Of
rigid boycott against German trade after the
war. Some OF the parties to this conference
have accepted the Presidents view but the
agreement reached at Paris has never been
formally dissolved, and probably will not be
until the kind OF peace Germany ultimately
accepts is known
But there are some things which govern
ments cannot do. They cannot make an
American business man. for example, love his
German neighbor himself. They cannot
make the Englishman or the Frenchman buy
German goods il the Englshman or the
Frcnchman refuses to buy. They cannot COM
pei their citizens to establish friendly com
mercial relations with Germany All that
governments can do is TO persuade and en-
treat in such matters. They may set up no
tariff walls or legaliZe no boycotts, but they
cannot force men TO accept tho outstrctched
hand Of enemy tradesmen. Il fact which this
government knew when it took no steps to
prevent the Chamber OF Commerce refercn-
DUN.
The time has come when the German pco-
pic should realize what they must expect in
he years TO come, If this war is only brought
to all end by utter exhaustion by one side or
the other. They should understand that
they have not friend left among the ma
lions Of the earth except their own allies
There is no neutral power OF any consequence
that has not its grievances against Germany
and nearly score of notions are a. war with
{ her. II the conflict does not soon end the
German people will find themselves hated as
no country was ever hated in all history, and
fifty years will pass before they can again
regain the friends and the opportunities they
will havo lost.
