by oeace of justice. Unfortunately
the world is threatened at this mo-
ment by two opposing forces which
are inimical to democracy-by inn
perialsm on one side ana Bolshevism
on the other.
imperialism IS a menace because
the imperialists believe there are two
kinds of right, one for the victorious
and another for the vanQuished.
Democracy acknowledges only one
right, that of human rights. The
Bolshevists threaten because they
wish terroristic dictatorship of a
single class, which would prevent the
creation of a democratic state.
THE democratic idea must become
deeply implanted. Germany is now in
| the throes of this great struggle
| Whatever else may be thought of
Germany, the rest of the world, which
| is as deeply interested IN the struggle
| as is Germany, must acknowledge that
the desire for democracy is sufficient
! ly strong in Germany to have induced
many men. though worn by four years
! of war, to throw themselves anew and
courageously into this new struggle
against the forces of terrorism.
| Professor Schueskng, IN an inter-
view with me, said:
Not Wilson'S Idea.
THE plan of the league of nations
as outlined at Paris does not express
President Wilson's ideal. 1t could not
endure because all the nations are
not of one quality, which is the fun
damental of such league This plan
! is Anglo Saxon imperialism dressed
up as a league of nations. For ten
years / have worked on league, al
! though it was difficult to get a hear
ing in old imperial Germany,
"As the league is now planned, it
Is in politics. and representatives of
the different nations must follow
orders from home, which would per-
petuate politics within the league in
stead of removing them"
"You think, then, the German dele
gates will have a chance to enter in
ltimately into discussion of the
lterms?" | asked.
Yes and this is why he an
'swer4a. R'afe ptdce teifns must De
such as we can accept. Perhaps they
will be hard, but they will at least
7 have form which is acceptable, be-
cause you as we'll as we need peace,
and ! presume that at Paris they see
1.-THE destructive wave of Bolshevism
that is about to overwhelm us. If
they do not make peace. the terms are
going to be better than the German
people think-certainly better than
some of the entente newspapers would
indicate.
Chauvinist Press.
! Such newspapers are chauvinist
Just as some of yours are, when
things are going well with us. They
have certain following with you as
with us, but | do not think they rep
lracent nc When we were still strong
as, for instance, when President Will
son tried to get without victory the
same terms of peace we are now de-
manding, one press was ordered by
the military authorities to ridicule the
idea and make President Wilson ap-
pear to be faker and working only
in the interest of the entente.

President Wilson'S plan intelligently
discussed, but the militarists so ruled
