A MESSAGE
TO THE NATION

Nature has implanted in ev-
cry human being a sense of
justice. This sense of natural
justice does not emanate from
any religion or creed; it is the
common possession of human
ity. It constitutes the one
great distinguishing mark be-
tween man and the animal.
And the more highly educated,
the more highly refined a man
becomes, the stronger is his
sense Of natural justice. We
condemn a violation Of natural
justice, not because we learn
from a man or a book that such
an action is worthy of condem-
nation, but because it violates
that conception of justice which
was born in us.
We do not have to be told
that it is wrong to torture 4
helpless child. We do not have
to be told that it is wrong to
go to q farm house and burn it
to the ground, torture it's in
mates, and then throw them in
to the burning ruins of their
own home. Such things are
repugnant to our sense of nat
.ural justice.
It is this elementary attri-
butte of humanity, this quality
which distinguishes man from
the beast, which has been vio-
lated by Germany. Not only
has natural justice been violat-
ed. but it's violation defended
Ey emperors, preachers, philos-
ophers, teachers, and that mass
of individuals who sympathize
with the German cause.

horse Black Nathan that was raced
