GERMANY'S AFTER-WAR PLANS.

All accounts agree that Germany
has built up elaborate plans to cap
ture world trade after the war. she
imagines that the atrocious crimes
she has committed in order to gain
commercial prosperity are going to
be forgotten. If these plans called
simply for legitimate competition IN
the effort to produce the best goods,
there could be no complaint on this
score. But, knowing Germany as
we do today, we can safely assume
that these efforts to capture trade
will go far beyond legitimate COM
Trade with Germany after the war
will depend very much on how Ger
MANY behaves. There are a great
many people who have resolved nev!..
err to buy any more German goods II
they knew it. AS long as Germany
continues on her present course OF
conduct, they have abundant reason
for their purpose, and they should
stick to it. If Germany overturns
her military rulers, and her people
show a disposition to be decent, they
will find the allied peoples will meet
them in a generous spirit.
Our government needs also 70
make far reaching plans to meet TINS
trade invasion after the war. IL
should join other governments IN a
determination to grant Germany no
favors until she has due, regard 10

COLORED AMERICA AND THE
PEACE TABLE.

What wilt thou have" quoth God
to man. Pay for it and take it. The
world has been battling for world
democracy. The fight is over. The
victory is Won.
We paid for our share in legal
tender of blood and sacrifce-fought
our share, lent our share, gave our
share of loyal support in every way.
Now will we do our share at max
ing peace? The one big, burning
question is the democracy of all peo-
pies. We have a case in court. Will
we present our demands at the peace
table or will we wait until somebody
else appoints US a representative or
else go without one?
The price exacted by democracy is
that it must be preserved. This is
true whether we take it or have it
bestowed. The test of the fitness for
it is the ability to maintain it. The
plain duty lies ahead. Go to. Come
let US see to it that our own repre-
sentative presents our own claims at
the peace table.
We are Colored Americans, an ele-
ment numbering 100000 denied
thoroughly the world democracy for
which this war fought by the Allies,
the only element in the civilized coun-
tries which fought Germany pro-
scribed and degraded equal status,
even the welfare of natives in Africa,
ahead of seeking to secure for as
colored Citizens of the United States
of America the restoration Of rights
enjoyed by all other Americans, and
whose efforts are exerted first for the
liberties Of anyone else, while our
own race is being lynched, will be
guilty of a wrong to our race hardly
less than treason.
Who would be free themselves must
strike the blow. God helps those
who help themselves. Only when or
ganized can we have strength. United
we stand, divided we fall II we do
not unite and assemble now while the
world is being made over we are not
only lost and our children, but are
ourselves to blame.
