We stand with our arms hanging, sur
faces exposed, and wait. For whitf
No doubt the German agents will be
satisfied and pack thor trunks and go
home to Germany. Merry thought.
Hardly.
We have seen what the German
agents will do; they did it before we
entered the war and they would do it
If we backed out of the war. They
would foment strikes, race riots, class
prejudice, and stir up national resent
ments. Having gotten us out of the
war against Germany they would try
to get us Into a war with France,
Italy, or England. They would no
longer be peace propagandists but war
propagandists, because we would be
unarmed and easy victims. They
would use German money to throw us
into the state poor Russia finds her
self In today. Then Germany would
strike defenseless South America.
America Loves Peace.
1t is my honest belief that Germany
has had for many years two alterna-
tive plans for conquest. From Berlin
she has drawn two lines, one to the
southeast through Saloniki and to the
Orient, the other to the southwest
through Spain to South America. She
hoped England would do the Weber
Fields act and keep her hands down
while German armies stunned France,
and then she would leap on the Orient
and grasp vast dominion there.
England did not keep her hands down.
She is not entirely fool. That plan
failed. 1t seems hopeless now.
The other plan Germany will try the
moment she makes peace and gets her
breath, If her agents can persuade US
to keep our hands down.
/ don't like war and you don't like
war. We have every reason to be d
peaceful people. We have vast terri
tory, the most fruitful and productive
in the world; and warlike peoples have
always been those living in barren
lands or who have been cramped into
scant quarters. It is never necessary
to preach the doctrine of peace to
America, because the natural state of
America is peace. America does not
and never has gone to war except to
avenge insults that have become un-
bearable or to protect herself against
marauders. When the great, wise,
peace-loving American people declare
war there is reason for 1t, and rea-
son that affects the honor or the safe
ty of the nation.
Germany has insulted and injured
us in a manner no decent people can
stand. She has fiouted our rights and
she continues to do so. She was men,
ace to our existence before the war
began and she has become a greater
menace with each day her troops have
been in the field. Her navy is practi-
cally intact; her people debt ridden.
For half century she has been the
one warlike nation of the earth. What
will Germany do IL we keep our hands
down when this war ends2 What
would you do If you were a warlike
nation, careless of rights of others
(see Belgium y, and craving territory?
You would give slap in the face to
the fat fool with his hands down, and
you would leap on South America and
wrest from 1t the cost of the great
European war.
Germany is not our worst enemy.
With our fists up we can take care of
Germany. Our worst enemy is here.
He is the man who asks us to put our
hands down and stand like a silly
sheep until Germany is ready to strike.
