to the Gazette that Germany must so
curtail her cotton and copper imports
from the United States that they do
not exceed or only slightly exceed her
own exports of fertilizers, dyes and
chemicals"
Here is another illustration of the
fact that Germany is looking forward
toward shipping its potash, its dyes.
and its chemicals, at least in sufficient
quantities that they should equal Ger
many's importatiOns of cotton and
copper from the United States. We
all know, of course, that it is Ger
manys intention to throw upon this
market the product of it's mines and
factories to the utmost extent possible
1t will sell at the lowest possible price
in order to break down our new in
dustry and to get immediate cash re-
CARELESS of profit, provided we are so
sufficiently bereft of reason as to per
nit the importation of German goods
into the American market.
The honor of the country should be
sufficient to prevent the importations
of German products, but as there a
good many people in this country who
have demonstrated the fact that they
would sell their souls to the devil, if
by doing so they could help Germany,
we can count with assurance that
there will be q great many people
eager to buy German products
Against this we should erect a barrier
absolutely forbidding the importation
of German made stuff. Or if that is
not feasible, then put the tariff so
high that we can keep German pro-
ducts out of American markets in that
way.
We do not need to buy from Ger
many. We do not need to trade with
that country, and the more completely
We cut ourselves off from all inter
course of all kinds with GERMANY the
better it will be for the future of this
nation.
AS we want no German products
so we want no Germans settling in
America We have had enough of
the race as it now exists. We have
found that many Germans and many
people of German descent living in
this country have been SO obsessed
with the German spirit that they have
upheld the vilest crimes i'll the worlds
history They gloated over the sink
ing Of the Lusitania. One of the foulest
deeds ever recorded against humanity,
these pro-Germans yet gloated in it
as illustrative of Germany's power and
might, as they thought. These people
would gladly see Germany victorious
in this war.
1t is scarcely possible within the
next generation or two to educate
out of this race the false doctrines
which have been passed from father
to son, doctrines which have been
carried out in German warfare for
centuries, and which have gradually
permeated the life of the German
people until the whole race seems to
have lost it's sense of honor, of in
tegrity, and of morality
Some days ago when the writer had
concluded address before the Bap-
fist ministers of Baltimore on the war
situation, in which some of the atroci-
ties of Germany had been mentioned,
one of the leading ministers at the
meeting said that he wanted to en-
phasize what had been stated in re-
gard to German hmm orality, and he
gave as one Illustration of it that when
he was studying at a German universi-
ty the professors advised him to live
q continuously immoral life on the
ground that any student in German
universities who did not do so would
be ashamed to admit it. That, said
he is one illustration of the immoral
ity which prevails throughout the
teachings and the life of Germany.
We do not want such people in
America. We do not want such doc
trines brought here any more than we
want to welcome into this country
the men who during four years have
committed the most fearful crimes in
ali the annals of history, and the
women who have Upheld them in these
crimes.
