situation-and Rathenau was to
blame. :,
There was only one way out Of it
for then-the way they had followed
with Liebknecht, with Eisner, with
Rosa Luxembourg, with Erzberger:--,
the way they had attempted with
Scheidemann,- their way of assassI-

ter Rathenau was assassinated in the

the murderers of Erzberger, escaped.
Not Germany alone, but Europe and
the world at large, has lost an impor-

leaderless party is party without
strength. Many causes have been de-
feated or delayed tradition to the
contrary-by the murder of it's lead

the cause of progress, for which
Rathenau stood, will triumph, but I'M
less the miraculous happens, unless
another Rathenau appears immedi-
ately, the pacifcation of Europe will
have been set back by many years.
The Jews who, despite Rathenau's
reputation of their destinies, have
watched with pride his efforts for the
peace of the world, will write him
down among the many sons they have
given to the cause of humanity. Like
many others, he gave himself only to
be rejected. His efforts must triumph
for the good of his country, against
the will Of many of it's children.

the German people was incapable OF
HIGH political conceptions. He at
tackled with inplacable fury the old
conceptions of Kultur. He, the prac--
tical businessman, the hardheaded
financier, preached a philosophy OF
the soul.
The soul of the human race had to
be saved, he taught. Industrial spe-
cialization, with it's soulless reduction
of the individual to the position OF
the machine, was preventing the work
ing classes from achieving spiritual
emancipation. 1t was not more leisure
that the working class needed on the
whole. It was not an ideal of ease
and plenty that it should follow, but
an ideal of strenuous endeavor in
worthwhile work. Under the pres
emit system the workingclasses were
condemned to slavery. That slavery,
Rathenau taught, had to be broken:
The soul of the mass of mankind had
to be freed.
How could man who held such
views, such exalted theories, still be
a practical businessman? The answer
lies in Rathenau's origin-he was
Jew. He himself did not deny that
this curious mixture of idealism and
practically came from his ancestry.
Speaking of his dual nature, German
and Jewish, he said: cit has pleased
nature, in her mischievous but we'll
meaning righteousness, to mingle the
two currents of blood in my veins
that I have an equal passion for the
world of material things and for the
world of the spirit"
But this duality made him incom-
prehensible to the people he served
so illustriously. The man who directs
a business of 20O,000,000 marks has
no right to be an idealist-or else his
idealism is not of the right kind. Much
less has he right to enter the polltl-
cal field except for the purpose OF
self-aggrandisemen But Rathenau
entered politics only when compelled
by force of circumstances and when ne
felt that he was needed by his coun-
try. In 1914, shortly after the out
break of the war, it was realized IN
Germany that there was needed a
strong and able man to coordinate the
production and disposition of raw ma
terial. There was only one man for
that post-Walter Rathenau. Rattle
neu accepted the position, to the in
finite chagrin of the anti Semites, and
held it until their attitude made his
work impossible. He left the ministry
in the spring of 1915. But the gov
eminent, while it did not dare give
him a position of distinction, could not
dispense with his services. He was
given the semi-official position Of SUI
pervisor of the munitions imported
from Switzerland. He founded there
the two firms of Metallum and Mill
taria, and entertained plans for the
identification of Switzerland's water
ways. Nothing came of the last, but
his services in the supply of munitions
to Germany were signal, considering
the limitations placed on Swiss i'm
ports by the Allies.
1t was after the war that Rattle
nau sprang to his right place as one
of the open leaders of the German ma
ton. In May, 1921, Chancellor Wirth
gave Rathenau the portfolio of Min
lister of Reconstruction. 1t was in that
role that Rathenau negotiated with
Loucheur the famous accord of Weis-

that time government owned. The
tremendous industries of SHINES need
ed these railroads. To acquire them
he was anxious to put Germany IN
the position of needing the gold ne
could supply. His ambition, which
since then has been realized, was frus-
trated for a long time by Rathenau,
and there developed between the two
men an implacable enmity, which had
it's beginnings in the early frictions
of their industrial competition.
SHINES stood with the reactionar-
les, stands with them today. The
murder of Rathenau is for SHINES an
exceptional stroke of good luck,
though it would be utterly wrong to
implicate him directly in the assassi-
nation. But his activities, together
with those of his political associates,
are certainly responsible for the ha-
tired reused against Rathenau. To that
degree he and Helferrich and Luden-
dorff are unquestionably responsible
for the death of Rathenau.
To the reactionaries and ultra-na-
tionalists Rathenau was the symbol
of the strength of the republic. The
reactionaries did not want Cancellation
and agreement with France. They
wanted France to demand the impos-
sible, so that definite crisis would
be precipitated. In the chaos which
would result from that, they hoped to
return to power. Rathenau, by his
conciliatory methods, whitfield down
the French demands, and kept Ger
many paying her reparations. Crisis
after crisis was averted, and the re-
public maintained it's stability. Rattle
nau was to blame.
This policy of international recon-
Citation was what made Rathenau the
man most trusted by the Allies. 1t
was for that reason that Wirth
strengthened his hand tremendously
in the world at large when, in 1922,
he appointed Rathenau Foreign Min
lister. Rathenau was a skillful diplo-
matist. Besides, he was Intimately
acquainted with every side of German
industry. He knew exactly what Ger
many could and could not do in the
way of payments. And the Allied
world trusted him. He was the strong
est guarantee of stable relationship
between Germany and France.
The day that Ebert gave his con-
sent to the appointment Of Rathenau
as Foreign Minister, he signed Rattle
nau's death-warrant. And Rathenau
knew it. Time and again Rathenau
declared that he was a marked man,
that his death was being plotted. And
the very men who were plotting his
death sneered at his statements at
tributing it to Semitic nervousness"
Rathenau continued his work in the
face of the opposition of SHINES and
the reactionaries. Unlike SHINES, he
sought nothing for himself in his po-
litical work. He abandoned the lead
ership of the A. E. G., and knowingly
reused host of enemies against him
self, for the good of his country and
for the peace of Europe and the world.
He went to Cannes to plead before the
Allies the cause of Germany. He
went later to Genoa, and was there
one of the most strenuous advocates
Of peace.
No one doubted the sincerity of the
man, even when he concluded sepa-
rate economic peace with Russia in

have been corrected at reasonable
expense. 1t had not been replaced

considered it possible under present
conditions to operate a water driven
pump at the station "a hours at a

on the dam might eliminate the
necessity of electric pumping.
