No; there is a spiritual issue, an issue involving the God-giv- en promise of love toward all men. Truth, light, liberty, altruism combat the deceit, darkness, oppression and brutality of autocracy.

Already she has a premier risen from the common people; already her caste and snobbery are beaten down; already her mighty rich are carrying their proportion of burdens with her many poor; already she is conceding the advantages of home rule; al- ready her distress has driven into her arms fel- low nations which she has ridden and scorned for centuries. Will she come forth to plunge into rum and ruin, or to rehabilitate and as- sume a higher, more altruistic attitude toward other people of the earth? FRANCE?
