THE BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERAID MONDAY NOVEMBER "a 1919

Chancellor underestimated the value
of these moral forces. But the Ger
man people had to go on starving.
The chancellor had permitted the
enemys refusal of our peace offer to
pass by without letting the people
know that. owing to the enemy's WILL
no just peace was possible; but that
on the contrary, as he believed and
put it himself, e"helots' peace" was
to be our lot. He had failed to Undue
them with fresh warlike resolution, and
call upon them to fight for life and
honor against a strong willed enemy,
striving for our destruction.
No, he himself despaired of victory,
and allowed the talk of an unattain-
able peace by understanding to shake
our nerve. while it put all the trumps
in the enemy's hands
Englands defiance of the laws of
nations in employing the blockade
against our very flesh and blood was
not met by fiery protest; the heart of
the people wac not filled with strong
manly hatred; its holy ire was not
directed against the inhuman enemy.
Far from it. Discomfort with the con-
ditions at home, which were directly
caused by the blockade, was permitted
to develop its force internally, in
crease the effect of the blockade, and
disintegrate our national life.
