tries to arouse fear, hatred and a desire
for war or belief in its necessity in the
minds of various peoples, and that these
groups are in the pay Of foreign NUM-

German Eun-makers spent fortunes in
France for the support Of French news
papers, which were directed with view
to melting the French people against
Germany. Quotations from these "vio-
lontly anti-German" newspapers were
reprinted throughout Germany to prove
to Germans that they should arm and
"prorarc" and goosc-step if they didn't
want to be overwhelmed. When all the
truth is known it may be proved that the
Gcr"an war-malicrs weren't alone in
this practice
What the outside world will want to

have been trying to apply to Latin
America the fire that left large part of
European civilization in ashes.
