NO DISCRIMINATION

The reason why the Allied nations
cannot have any dealings with Ger
many while the Hohenzollern dynasty
remains established there is not
,..erely TIE sentimental one that de-
cent peonte cannot do business with
scoundrels 1t is that and something
more.
If any king emperor, kaiser, any
eespotic or autocratic form Of gov
crament, can set out upon q career Of
CONQUEST and dominion such as Ger
m: lily embarked upon four years ago,
and 60 urpunished when it fails, the
temptati to do similar thing Will
forever hasct any individual or group
of men who can seize or hold auto
cratic power. An essential object of
the war, about the most essential o.
iect of the war, is that it's outcome
shall teach all kings, potentates and
rulers that they must inevitably pay
the penalty, personally pay ity for the
commission Of such crime. To show
marcy tt. u criminal of the king wouid
ne to encourage other potential cri-
minals.
Germany, indeed, may say that the
catside world has no right to dictate

Ert so long as Germany exalts and
supports the Kaiser it is particcps

he ends that speech with the threst
that if the Allies do not accept tt

There can be no discrimination be-
