 aspect of disarmament, and I re- ferred to Germany. do not want 10 be unjust; nothing is further from my mind. But we know there is in Germany-there is one part of Ger many that is for peace. There are many people, especially among the working classes. who want to work, who have had erough of this war, who have had enough of war aito- gether and are most anxious to settle down in peace and also to set to work. We shall do everything to help that Germany.
 Germany Still WarIike =.
 But. gentlemen, there is another Germany, a Germany which has not changed her mind, and to which the last war has taught no lesson. That Germany keeps thoughts in the back of her mind: she has the same de- signs she entertained befor the war; she has kept the same preoccupa- tions and she cherishes the same am- bitions as the Hohenzollerns did. And how can we close our eyes to this? How can we ignore this state of things? This, gentlemen, is hap pening at our very doors-we have only got to look.
 Gentlemen, a volume has been published by no less a man than Field Marshal Ludendorff, who still enjoys great authority in many Ger man circles, and who is followed by a great part of the elite in Germany, professors, philosophers, writers, etc. : I should not like to prolong this speech, but perhaps draw too much of your attention, but this is part of my brief, and if you are like me, convinced that the moral ele- ment of the utmost importance, you will allow me to read just two or three passages. This is the first quotation:
 Tt is necessary that we should learn to understand that we live in a warlike time, that struggle will re- main forever for the single individu- al as- for the state, a natural pue- nomenon and that the struggle iS equally on the divine order of the world
 Ludendorff's Teachings
 sIn the same book, Marshal Luden- dorff reproduces these terrible words of De Molcke on the 11th of Decem- Der, 1919:
 Eternal peace is dream. It is not even a beautiful dream and war is one of the parts of the order of the world, such as 1t has been created by God. It is by war that are devel- oped the noblest virtues of man courage, disinterestedness devotion to duty and spirit of sacrifice. up to the abandonment of ones own life. Without war the world would sink in the morass of materialism.' :
 T now come to the physical as- poets of disarmament. I can quite understand that somebody might say it is not sufficient to harbor- evil designs; to make war one must have appropriate means, because when it is a question of war enormous effec- tiyes are necessary; you must have the officers and on-commissioned ed officers; you must have plentiful ma terial-rifles, guns, machine guns, ar tillery, etc.-and Germany has no longer any of these. Germany, from the point of view of electives, just emerging from the war, still has seven million men over there in Germany who have made the war Of course. you will say they are not actually serving under the flag, they are not living in barracks. Certain ly. Have these men any officers ani non n-commissioned officers ready tt be marshaled to the field? It is pos. l sible to mobilize such an army to- morrow.
 ITO this question I answer yes and am going to explain 1t. Since | the war, since the moment peace wa. signed, Germany has constituted { force, a so-called police force, whicl l was intended for the maintenance O public order. That force is called tn l refchsweher. It is to include 100000 and in fact does include 100000 men I But what men?
