SHORT CUT TO PEACE

The promotion of democracy in
;ermany through propaganda is an
Indispensable postulate in the formu-
alton Of a subtle and constructive
oreign policy, says David Starr Jor-
an The impressive fact is that FL
atoms are arrayed against Germany,
nth infinite resources in men and
yealth,- thus making German or
Iindenburg victory at least some
hat questionable, in spite Of the sue
esses in Italy, the disorganization of
.ussia and the firmness of the West
IN 'front.'; for even without Italy and
:ussia it would be hopeless to defeat
versea countries like the United
tates Brazil, Japan, China or Siam.
he hostility of practically the entire
on-German world, which makes the
ierman nation and German individ-
ais abroad outcasts, will increase
nth the continuation of the war and
ill render the difficulties of restor-
ng Germany's position among the ma
ions of the world almost insour-
lountable.
The future of Germany must be
uilt upon new foundations. A Hin
enburg peace is a dream, lie, an
npossibility. There is some truth in
is words: "We must have peace that
ill let more air and light into Ger
lany." But light and air cannot con-
list in territorial conquest, but in the
beration of Germany from militar-
SIN and autocracy. This is, in gen.
raj way, what might be pointed out
D the German people through care
al propaganda. There can be no
oubt that such propaganda will ac-
ieve its objects and get at the peo-
{ lie. 1t must be borne in mind that
he German people have been contin-
ously misled, that they ignore the
ruth, they still believe firmly in vic
Dry, they still expect large indemni-
les and huge territorial aggrandize-
1ent. They will continue to support
heir government unless they can be
made to realize the utter hopelessness
f their task; firstly and secondly,
hat the Allies are not fighting for the
urpose of making Berlin or Cologne
! French or British city, but for their
wn safety; this is what German peo-
lie cannot understand, namely, that
here is such a thing as mere defen-
i've war on the part of their enc
1ies. This propaganda should be
arried out in German, it must be we'll
yritten, j. e., in a scholarly fashion,
hus meeting the psychology of the
ferman people, instead of merely an
agonizing them. Finally such pro-
uganda of democracy in Germany
I'LL turn out to be OF benefit to the
ierman nation and to humanity at
arge. Let us therefore begin today,
et us realize what is the demand of
he hour. The war will end when
Eermany is free. Let us free her.
Eerman democracy can not be shot
hto Germany, but it can take hold of
bic minds Of the people and once es-
hblished there, it will free the world.
This is the great problem of the hour,
his is the "Short Cut to Peace" The
|ecent events in Russia show clearly
that can be done by means of such
indeed, Germany has
|ught us a lesson which we should
lot fail to learn and learn soon.
