sense thing to do, viewed entirely apart
from political and personal considera-
lions, Is to declare this country at
at peace with Germany. Inasmuch as
we are at peace with Germany and our
armies demobilized, why not say SO
and done with It? Is 1t worth our while
to keep in a technical state of war
with Germany when doing SO makes
us ridiculous in the eyes of the world
