To Every Question

I
EMOTIONALISM VERSUS
AMERICA
This is the only country on
earth which has ever allowed
pure emotionalism to drive it
knowingly to the brink of col
lapse. This happened in the
World War and can happen again
in this war—though the present
temper of the American people
would indicate that those whose
love for other countries is greater
than their love for America, are
going to have a job on their
hands this time.
However, the propagandist,
whether he be foreign-born or
home brew, is untiring and orig
inal. We don't hear anything
about the "War to End Wars"
this time, and not a great deal
about "Savine Democracy." This
time it is "Stop Hitler": "Save
the World from Aggression", and
more recently a newer slogan
which goes about like this: "We
can't let our Real Friends be de
feated."
Of the four nations involved in
Europe today, not one, for purely
friendly reasons, has ever offi
cially come to the aid of this
country in time of need.
Upon four outstanding occa
sions, citizens of each of these
! has helped us privately, and the
French Government officially,
j under Louis Sixteenth, sent a
; strong force of men to win our
! freedom from England. But this
French force was sent for the
; sole purpose of weakening Eng
land—with whom Fiance was at
! war—and of saving France's re
maining possessions in America.
Poland's Kosciusko and Pu
laski, and particularly the Polish
Jew, Haym Salomon, helped us
with their swords and money.
Lafayette and de Kalb were truly
unselfish Frenchmen who aided
cur struggling cause. Muhlen
bt>rg and that fine general of
Frederick the Great of Prussia
Baron Steuben, with their Ger
man troops, gave unstinted and
invaluable assistance to that
same cause; and no American
should ever forget the gallant act
oi the British naval commander
who threatened to blow the Ger
man squadron out of the water if
it fired upon Dewey's fleet at the
Battle of Manila Bay in 1898.
These were private demonstra
tions of friendship toward our
country.
Now let us turn to the official 1
side of the ledger. The German i
entries are few but are written in j
large letters—Utter disregard for
American lives and American
property on the high seas, during
her submarine blockade of Eng
land in the Great War; and later
—Discrimination against United
States citizens in payment of
debts.
France's entries include, first:
The arbitrary search of American
ships and seizure of American
seamen and property. These acts
culminated in the little known
French-American naval war
which was brought to an end by
Napoleon. Second—An attempt
to enlist the aid of Russia and
England, during our Civil War, to
force the United States govern
ment to grant a six months arm
istice to the Confederacy so that
the South could sell its cotton
end buy supplies. The success of
this move would probably have
split the United States into two
smaller and weaker nations and
would have made ineffective our
Monroe Doctrine, with the result
that the French conquests of
Mexico would have been estab
lished and France's re-instate
ment in this hemisphere—under
the Empire of Maximilian—would
today be an accomplished fact.
Third—Virtual repudiation of her
debts to us, acquired during and
after the World War.
On this side of the ledger Eng
land chalks up, first: Search of
American ships and seizure of
one-time British seamen who had
become American citizens. This
continued action brought on the
War of 1812. Second: Unneces
sary burning of the city of Wash
ington during the same war.
Third: The near declaration of
war by England over the unim
portant Mason-Siddell incident
at the time when the United
States was fighting for its life in
the American Civil War. Fourth:
The virtual repudiation of her
war debts.
President Wilson paid our debt 1
Ito Poland's Kasciusko when hej
helped to re-form that ancient
nation at Versailles. We paid
Lafayette with the lives of fifty
thousand American boys on the
battlefields of Prance. We paid
the brave commander of the
British squadron at Manila with
thousands upon thousands of
cripples, billions i n cancelled
debts and the disorganization of
our whole financial structure.
The Kaiser's German Govern
ment itself cancelled our debt to
Frederick the Great by its cold
blooded disregard for our rights
as neutrals during the World
War.
So if our generation should de
cide for the second time in our
stewardship to risk this country's
destruction in a European war, at
least let us not make ourselves a
laughing stock for history by
claiming as an excuse that "we
can't let our real friends down."
