Angesicht; der furchtbaren Prügel, die soeben die Italiener von den
Oesterreich,! und Ungarn, die Franzosen von den Teutschen bei Verdun
beziehen, mutet einen der Bericht deS Florenzer Korrespondenten der
Chimgoer Tätig New" über die Bedingungen, unter denen &ic 2U
liierten Frieden zu schlichen bereit sind, recht ancksant tote, eine jast
nachtszeitung an. ,
Hier der Bericht: Vom 25. bis 27. Apnl 191 fan& die ttonfereiiz
der dier grohen Nationen England. Frankreich. Ruszland und Italien in
PariZ statt. Die Vertreter derselben. ASquith. Briand. Cazonoff und So,
nino. einigten sich aus eine Allianz, die 14 Ialzre bis 1. Mai 1929 dauern
solle. Sie einigten sich ferner auf folgende Friedensbedingungen: Teutsch,
land tritt gewisse Teile von Schleswig an Täneinark ab. Helgoland geht
an England zurück. Belgien wird wieder hergestellt, annektiert Luxein
bürg und noch ein bischen Territorium an der Ostgrenze. Frankreich er
hält Elsaß-Lothringen. Teutschland gibt alles, was früher zu Polen
gehörte, an das neue Polen zurück. Preussen muß den alten Teutschen
Bund wiederherstellen und auf alle Vorherrschaft verzichten. Die deutsch,
sprechenden Oesterreicker gehen an diesen Bund über. Osterreich.Ungarn
wird verteilt und verschwindet einfach von der Landkarte. Italien nimmt
sich davon waZ eö nach Herzenslust begehrt, und wird zum Oberherrscher
an der Adria. Serbien nimmt sich Croatien. Bosnien. Herzegowina und
Süd-Ungarn; Böhmen wird selbständig. Polen wird autonom unter
russischer Kontrolle" (sonderbare Autonomie!) und dehnt sich auf (Sa.
lizien. Bukowina und Nord-Ungam aus. Finland wird auch selbständig
(ähnlich wie Polen!). Smyrna und was sonst noch dort druni und dran
bängt, geht an Italien. Der Rest von Kleinasien geht an einen griechi.
schen Prinzen. Syrien und Palästina geht an Frankreich. Arabien bleibt
unter der Kontrolle von England, das auch Mesopotamien freundlichst in
feine schützenden Arme nimmt. Die Türkei verschwindet von der Land,
karte, denn Ruszland wird Konstanrinopel erhalten und damit den Traun,
Peter deS Großen in Erfüllung sehen. - Japan darf Kiautschau behalten.
Den Rest der deutschen Kolonien teilen sich England und Frankreich brü
derlich. '
Das ist bloß alles, was sie wollen. Freilich setzt der Korrespondent
der Taily News" etwas mißtrauisch hinzu: Vielleicht würde an diesen
etwas scharfen Bedingungen allerlei geändert werden, wenn die ainerikani.
fckie Vermittlung in Aktion tritt. Auch nüiZiten die Alliierten, um diese
Plane ausführen zu können, erst mehr Siege über die Zentralmächte er.
rungen haben." '
Wir sind ganz derselben Meinung. Erst müssen etliche Siege kom
men. Aber woher nehmen und nicht stehlen? Mit diesen Siegen geht
es den Alliierten genau so. wie England mit seinen Rekruten: Sie woll,
ten nicht kommen. Und wie es uns hierzulande wohl auch mit unserer
vergrößerten Armee gehen wird.- Auf dem Papier stehen soviel Solda
ten mehr jetzt, aber wo find sie in Wirklichkeit?
Uebrigens muß den Herren Asquith, Briand, Sazonoff und Sonnino
bei der Formulierung dieser famosen Friedensbedingungen selber etwas
blümerant zu Mute gewesen sein, denn sie verpflichteten sich gleich auf
ganze 14 Jahre für dieses Programm. Das ist ein bischen lang. Aber
was lange währt, wird endlich gut. denken diese Herren vielleicht. Aber
irren ist menschlich.
Der Tailq News" Korrespondent schaut am Schlüsse seines erhei
ternden Berichtes aus dein sonnigen Florenz verzückt in die Zukunft:
Falls diese 4 Mächte stark genug find, diese Pläne auszuführen, dann
werden wir zwei große Mächte. OesterreichUngarn und die Türkei, auf
immer verschwinden sehen, Polen erhebt sich strahlend. Böhmen gewinnt
seine alte Unabhängigkeit wieder. Belgien wird ein großer Pufferstaat",
Frankreich erhält seine alte Liebe zurück, rückt bis an den Rhein- und
gewinnt drei Millionen Bevölkerung, die es so dringend gebraucht, Preu.
ßen sinkt auf die Stufe eines kleinen Fürstentums wieder herab, auf der
es vordem mal war. England aber wird der Generalmeister der ganzen
Welt. Hurrah, Viktoria! Wenn nur das Wörtchen Wenn" nicht
wär'.
Was ' aber aus Amerika wird Bei dieser Abrechnung, verhehlt der
verzückte Seher. Die Ver. Staaten sollten doch auch einen gehörigen
Fehen von der Beute abbekommen für ihre famose ?keutralität und Mu.
nitionTlieferung. Aber was der Korrespondent schamhaft verschweigt,
scheint uns uni so deutlicher: Amerika wird einfach auch wieder, was es
einst war, nämlich Kolonie von England, dann ist alles in Ordnung.

Die sehr energische" Protestnote der Administration nach London
ist einem geschätzten Publico von Amerika wenigstens in ihren als die
wichtigsten Teile erachteten Teilen zugänglich geworden. Die lassen sich
wieder in zwei verschiedene Abteilungen trennen. Eine, die den Briten
Freude machen wird, und eine andere, die ihnen totalster Schnuppe,
Wurst und Schnurz fein 'wird. ' '
Der für des Kings" RegierANg erfreuliche Teil ist die Mitteilung,
, daß die amerikanische Administration die Beraubung der .Post um Aktien,
Bonds, 5?oupons und äbnliche WerMrschreibungen zu, den berechtigten
Eigentümlichkeiten der britischen Kriegführuug rechne, obgleich die Post
nach allen internationalen Verträgen überhaupt nicht beraubt werden darf.
Der wurstige Teil ist die Ankündigung, daß im übrigen nur eine ra
b'ihW Aenderung des jetzigen britischen und' französischen, Vorgehens, so
öaß die Ver. Staaten ihre vollen Rechte als neutrale Macht zurückerhalten,
die Washingtoner Regierung zufriedenstellen werde."
England fühlt sich sicher im Bewußtsein, daß diese Worte nur ge
'fallen sind mit Rücksicht aus die amerikanische Wahlkampagne; sicher im
Bewußtsein, daß es in seinem Botschafter eine Persönlichkeit in Washing.
ton hat, die dort dieselbe Rolle spielt, wie die britischen Residenten" an
bat Höfen der indischen Vasallenfürsten; sicher im Bewußtsein, daß et
einen der schönsten ArbitrationSverträge mit Washington besitzt, die die
Ucbuweisung von Streitsragen, über die man sich nicht einigen mag,
einer, Kommission überweisen, die ein Fahr Zeit hat, darüber zu ver
handeln, ehe es zu Feindseligkeiten kommen darf,' und daß Herr Wilson
noch nicht einmal diese Ueberweisung in Aussicht gestellt hat. England
- weiß, daß Herr Wilson teils aus eigener Vorliebe für England, teils auf
. Grund des geheimen mündlichen Vertrages die Briten in jeder Weise in
, ibrcr Kriegsführung unterstützen will, ob amerikanischer Handel oder wa!
sonst dabei zugrunde geht, ob Amerikas Bevölkerung KricgSpreise .für
Fleisch zahlen und in . Leinenschuhm herumlaufen muß, statt in Leder-
schuhen: ob wir in hohen Preisen die Kriegskosten mitbezahlen oder nicht.
Es weiß, daß Herr Wilson das einzige Kittel, das sofort bclfen würde,
und nicht gegen dm Gehcimvertrag verstoßen kann, nickt anwenden will
da.Z ist das Ausfuhrverbot von Kriegsmaterial cm die Kriegführenden.
' Solange Herr Wilson in seinen Noten nach England das nicht tut,
sind sie für die Katze. Und können höchstens Idioten im eigenen Lands
'täuschen, wobei, wegen der Wahlausflchten von der britischen Statt-!

Canada, the teaching of English history
in American high-schools, the Khodes
-scholarships, the proximity of Canada,
the Propaganda of British lecturess and
press agents, all have had their influence
in forming American opinion. Not the
least of the causes of anti-Gcrman fecl-
ing is the ignorance of the American
people touching the machinery of gov
ernment and lts modus operandi of tlie
German empire. That "imperialism"
can devclop a System by which Order,
regularity, honesty and economy of ad
mmistration can be exhibited to tlie
shame of demoeratie disorder, irregw
larity, dishonesty, and extravagance, is
incomprehensible. We are so used to
politics subverting every good of the
masses that we can't imagine any other
System. One government seeks the good
of the nation by concentrating tlie pow
ers of the state, the other believes that
state best governed which is least
governed. The form i good for a
denscly populated land, the lattcr for a
sparsely inhabited territory. What is
good for Saxony or Manhattan will
hardly suit Arizona,

population in the United

ropean history, some of us do not take
all the London news without a gram of
salt. Some of us can see the üne Mach

ENGLAND
VVhen the Great Armada was de
f eated the power of the sea eassed from
Spain to England. Spanisn arrogance
in lording the wave became English ar
rogance, which the victories of La
Hogue, Trafalgar and Copenhagen have
sustained. At the treaty of Ghent, the
American were content to reeeive peace
without having the causes of the war
of 1812 touched upon. The English
tiiay still search American vessels, and
do. Be not ashamed. All nations have
been taught that Britannia rulei the
wave. The wide waters of the ocean
are a British lake which other nations
are permitted to navigate by the cour
tesy. of the English cabinet British
oavaüsm is one of tlie causes of the
war. British navalism follows the pol
icy that the English navy must be as
Itrong as the navie of avy two other
countrie, combined. 1t is only possidle
because a grinding taxation of the peo
ple of India tuppiies the necessary mon
ey, the ainews of war. When the Ger
man began to create a modern navy to
jretect their rtsing commerce, the Brit
un had to increas their pace both in
taxing and in building. The latter were
not pleased. Churchill hai'worked with
feverish activity for four years, (three
yeara in preparing for thit war, one
year in war), to bring the British navy
up to its present state of efficiency. I'n
rnarily intended to protect Great B ritain
from invasion, this navy is cow sed to
guard Uie enormous merchant marine
riying the British Hag in all carts of
the world. Not knowing wlth whm she
may go to war, and being ab! to defy
on the sea any two es the leading naval
powers, England estahlishes rules for
the government of shipping which all
the world must obey, America does not
dar to buy and then protect the Idle
German ships In New York harbor, t
use tliem in the South American trade,
for fear of displeasing England.
The British merchant marine makes
London the sinancal center ol the slobe.
The British have waged many smaU
wmi with many inferior racts and na
tion for the purpoie of ei'ing the
commercial gatei of the world. What
matter that you posse the bank of tlie
nver if I hold the bridghrad f What
care I that yoa have the hinterland if I
hold the port which upplie it with the
articles of commerce. B ritain makes
a showing of generosity by not grab
hing everytliing at oce. She bidcs her
time until she shal! be able to organi-e
the native of the ports to attack their
brethren of the hinterland. bht up
plies the gold and the oitkers. Tlie
nativn Nrrd that the rising m my
ever greet the tnion jack. A core of
Subject nations breed for the ole pur
poie of supplying men, wonien and chil
dren to find gold for the British trader.
The native is protected only a he is
useful to commerce.
Commercial greed is characteristic of
the British. lt was tlie cause of 11
their coautions against Napoleon. Y'ct
so conservative are the Isländers they
will not change their methods to meef
modern conditions until forced to do so
by a diminished volume of trade. Japan
and Germany make their commercial
high-schools an important Part of their
educational System,. The English in a
haphaxard way follow suit. The Ger
man consul studies trade conditions, and
reports to hi government, which im
mcdiatcly informs all rnanufacturer and
merchant that an observance of some
little frill will increase the volume of
commerce. The British consul may do
likewise, but he does not da it as sei
entifically, nor as eflectively. It may be
remarked in passing that an American
consul will not do what he can get out
of doing. An American consul is in
sulting in hi brusqueness, a British
consul invites you to tea or tislin, a Ger
man consul gets down to the real busi
ness of helping you to solve your Prob
lems. So German trade increase by
leaps and bounds, and the British ulk
thereat. A German is fully two or three
year younger than a corresponding
Englishman when he becornes an es
fective factor in work or business.
Peace spellcd irretrievable disaster to
British trade supremaey. lience As-
quith urged Kusssa to start the war.
Asquith and Grey are the evil gemuses
of England, with Churchill a dose
third.
That British trade is for the British
nation is an illusion. It is for the tipper
classes, the rieh, the aristoerats. There
is no country in all the world, outside of
England s Asiatic holdings, where the
contrast of wealth and paupensm is
more marked. The aristoeratie govern
ment of free England has produced the
horrible London slums. The lowest of
the English classes is only equaled by
the Chinese beggar, or the Hindostan
pariah. Economic hberty in England it
not for the masses of the nation, and
sad to relate, this is one of our inheri
tances from tlie mother country. No
government can be called good that is
not mostly concerned- in uplifting the
masses of the people. A government
that caters to the rieh alone is bad.
The plant is mare important than a
flower, for other flowers will form in
du time. The gilded aristoeraey of
England is grand to look upon. but it
could be exterminated and then fepro
duced in a tingle generation from stock
chosen in Whitechapel. Civilisation
does not consist in magnificent palace
and parks for the rieh, while the com-
mon people must be herded in hovels,
but th?s is what the traveler first notet
in merry England. Let us pity the land
that copies England's economic ideal.
The politkal liberty fciuded in Eng
lish literature wa also for the upper
classes, tlie nobles and the gentry. The
English have gradually brought them
selve to believe that without themselve
Liberty would have perished from the
earth. They form a mutual admiration
ociety, which, by repeating to each other
certam taies about English liberty, has
come to believe those tories to
be' true. Yet Persidious Albion from
Toulon to Waterloo fought to destroy
the liberties created by the French rev
olution, and at the Congress of Vienna
complacently smiled to ee Finland and
Poland put in chain as the price of
England retaining her share of the loot
The middle dass in England did not
know the meaning of liberty until 1832,
when the rotten borough were ousted.
Much of the enrnity England has a'.
ways expressed for the United S tatet
was irnply the hatred of a wealthy aris
toeraey for the masset triving to ob
tain a just rneasure of political and
economic freedom. Did England hear
the shriek of Freedom when Kosciusko

would be were there war between th
United State and England. We an
dumb. The administration ignores th
Protest of the meat-packer, and the
cotton growert. Yet if thi policy of
permitting England to control our cot
ton continue, the South facet ruin, and
if meat and wheat thipped to neutral
countrie by American merchant rr.ay
be eized on the high eas, other great
Industrie face disaster. The normal
state of neutral trade hould not be in
terrupted because England happen to
be at war. In the meantirne, auch it
the international law frarned by the
English for England through the cen
turies, the American government i lead
ing itself openly t the upport of the
Allies by converting the New England
shon into British arsenals, uperin
tended by ex-United State Arrny ofli
cert, graduates of West Point, and who
are in turn tuferintended by British
arrny efficert who ore ient here to ee
that the output is rnaintained at to quäl
ity and quantity.
Also, for fear of twisting the lion'
tail, American are prevented from pur
chasing German hips now in American
waters, which ships would be the meani
of thit Country getting its needed South
American trade. Why? Because Eng
land o will it We make money by
hypocritically eiting an English-made
law applicable to the sale of munitiont
by neutral money whose every dollas
drips with göre; and we rite anothei
English-made law to show why we can
not purchase those idle ship with which
to make money honestly, money whose
every dollar would work for the civi
lization of the South Americc conti
nent and the cementing of ties of friend
ship between tates of the Pan-American
Union which state are very uspi
cious of us, and dislike ut much, now,
Trtily. we must have some "entaneline
alliance," ome where, if we are not f ret
to work out our own destiny. Thit i
the gift of the British aristoeraey to
America. Is it to be wondered at that
London it trying to tie np American
Capital in British war-loant which will
never be redeemed ?
Let ut not sorget what England would
