We believe that her victory would mean the substitution of ruthless and brutal autocracy for the free governments of Europe, and that it could hardly fail to mean an eventual war with us, even if we abandon the Monroe Doctrine a8 now interpreted with all its possihil- ities of trouble. If the policy of the country was to preserve peace, it was clearly not the president’s duty to sit in judgment on the belligerents. He might has endeavored to throw the moral weight of this country into the scale by protesting against the invasion of Belgium and the brutalities which were comimitted there; but to do so he would have had to assume what many then were unwilling to believe, that the charg of cruelty agair Germany were true and that counter-allegations were false. could not try such questions as nor decide between the conflicting statements of the two sides without any adequate knowledge of the fact To do so at the time when these things happened and Germany was flushed with insolent triumph, would have done no good. Germany know well and complains bitterly that American people condemn her, this knowledge has not changed course. We should have added to her flame, but we should not affected her action. Moveover, had the president this attitude our neutrality woull have been a mere form, and i war went on and the “Lusitani ank. we could hardly have helped »ining in the conflict. There are many who would have approved this course and faced the result gladl but they were only a fraction of our peopl and had we done so, would have been the practical sult?
