THEY’LL FORGET.
The redeeming feature from the
patriotic profiteer's stand point of
an international crisis is that the
clear people will take their eyes off
those soaring prices and mayhap j
in the excitement of the moment j
forget their empty bellies.
THE FINANCIAL PANIC.
The excitement in the stock ex
change is the most interesting feature
of the international crisis which so
far has developed. And it is as well
the most instructive. It explains
immediately the facts of the rupture
which might be otherwise over
looked. Very shortly that panic
will he all over. The selling raid
will have finished and consumed it
self. And with the effort to resume
the routine of very prosperous
business, prices will again soat
where they have temporarily fallen.
The prosperity which has over
taken the American business man
has been altogether and quite com
pletely a prosperity based upon war
orders. Where activity followed in
any line of industry which did not
depend upon the war directly, its ac
tivity can be traced ar once to that
sympathetic prosperity which was
incidental to the prosperity of mu
nitionists.
Trade and commerce are now so
closely ramified that great prosper- ]
ity in any one line without its re- J
acting as a stimulus to promote :
prosperity in all lines, is no longer '
any more possible than is a serious
depression in one not positively cer
tain to create a similar condition in
all. Hence even the least apparent
ly related industries flourished and
grew enormously active because of
the impetus which war orders forced
upon some of the firms in the
United States. It is not unfair
therefore, it is the absolute truth
to say that American prosperity,
for the businessman alone often
enough, was due entirely to the
trade carried on with the Entente
Allies in Europe. And for that,
Teason, regardless of the elevating
metaphysics of the international law
experts, is has become the function
-of government to see to it that this
trade is carried on unhampered by
any interruption and without any
menace.
When Germany notified the United
States that the Central Powers
would carry out a blockade of the
Entente thru submarine warfare
without any restrictions such as had
been imposed upon them through
acceptance of the American demands
made in the past, the Central Pow
ers threatened the life of that pros
perity which has been the theme ot
every trade journal since the war
started. Hence we observe the stock
exchange which is the plexus of the
commercial nervous system develop
all at once a local irritation grows
in turn into a serious condition of
prostration. This symptom reveals
the economic reason for the inter
ruption in the diplomatic relations
with Germany, and will explain
should such be unfortunately
forthcoming, the reason for an out
break of war between the two
nations, on the American side.
It should he possible for the people
1 of this country to have a much
clearer idea of the causes of such
diplomatic interruptions with war
looming In the distance than unfor
tunately the people of the Euro
pean nations manifested, and we
surely lose nothing by admitting
the economic factor which is at once
the inspiration and the cause in this
instance.
The peculiarly elevated attitude
which President Wilson assumes in
this connection is not discounted in
the least. To him and to the adminis
tration, the prosperity of the busi
ness element of the nation is the
welfare of the nation itself, and the
denial of recognition of the right to
trade with any nation and to send
ships and men into the war zone
regardless of hostile threats pre
sents an unbearable and insuffer
able condition which cannot be to
lerated. International jurists have
developed a code of laws which have
everyone of them been subjected to
rival interpretation, and it is not
the least valuable and instructive
characteristic in the Interposition of
such international jurisprudence,
that the nation which today asserts
a precedent will be the one tomor
row to repudiate it. Tills has been
the case when the positions of one
or the other nations changed or
were reversed, and thus it is that
Great Britain with the facility of the
casuist has no difficulty in placing
before the government of the United
States in answer to America’s objec
tions, cases which developed during
the civil war between the Northern
and Southern States and which
cases were declared unjustifiable by
Great Britain itself. International
Law, and especially as far as the
sea is oencerned, has been a living
exposition of the truth of the sophist
that “justice is the interest of the
stronger'', and the great trouble
with the German standpoint is that
its V boat activities have been as
yet unable to satisfy international
law and international ethics, because
mainly of the fact that the nations
are not satisfied that Germany is
the stronger. The Entente nations
have proved of immense financial
strength. They have won no battles,
but they have at least kept German
ships off the sea. Germany’s strug
gle for existence presents itself in
the unprosaic form of the excluded,
and as such not free to develop
pecuniary relations of the same
striking force that is possible to the
Entente especially to Great Britain.
At all points, indeed, quite re
gardless of ethical questions or
questions of common sense equity,
the interests of Germany and the
United States clash on this subma
rine question. Nor is it to be doubt
ed for one instant that this actual
clash has been unobserved in Ber
lin.
While nations may make much
ado about right and wrong, nations
in reality seldom hypnotize them
selves into the belief that questions
of right and wrong Instead
of gain and loss, will be the direct
ing force of national and interna
tional movements. It is certainly
far from likely that the philosophy
of German diplomacy would so far
err in interpreting the mainspring
of American policies with the facts
so clearly and so candidly admit
ted.
For this reason the German diplo
mats admitted the possibility of a
break, long before it was admitted
by Lansing, and we can as well con
clude that Berlin had fully made
up its mind that such a break,
with War as the final outcome,
would follow the U boat policy of
1 Germany.
It is ridiculous to contend that
the United States neutral was even
more objectionable than the United
States an enemy. That is not held
by any nation. The United States
may be non-militarist, but the
-United States can become militarist
with far greater ease than any other
nation in the world. Conscription is
in the hands of the President. The
Dick Law gives him absolute power
over the drafting of males of mili
tary age. And with endless resour
ces at its beck and call, there is no
sane person, least of all Is there a
sane German, who would think
that with the United States an
enemy, could victory be even re
motely possible.
There is a possibility that the
German people are tired of the war
and see in the entry of the United
States into the quarrel the entry ot
a friend who in the peace councils
would take no mean part, and light
en the severity of conditions might
otherwise be determined upon. It is
not likely that the German govern
ment has any mistaken idea of their
own power. The circle of foes may'
not be very active, but they hard'
been deadly in their passivity and
every victory was a Pyrrhic victory.
What could be more natural than
casting everything to the winds,
the United States was to be made
a foe, so that the American people
might attend the peace discussions
and neutralize the venom of a vin
dictive entente.
