So say we, men and women of Amer- ica, after viewing the desolation and destruction of four years of the worst warfare the earth has ever known. Let us have peace—JUST AS SOON AS THE BROKEN SWORD OF PRUS SIANISM IS TENDERED IN UNCON- DITIONAL SURRENDER. Protesting war, we are forced to believe in a war which became neces sary to regain peace for the world. Respecting peace, we protest against a pseudo-peace which the enemies of man- kind may.use as a preparation for re- newed war. If Might is the only Right, if War is the greatest Good, if a nation’s Kultur is to be foisted upon the world by false- hood and treachery, by rapine and mur- der, by the outrage of every superior sense and emotion, then Germany is right. If Might is God and Schreck- lichkeit is i: pronae, then Prussian- ism is justified. Welcome peace and weleome the shackles which shall bind the world!

Let us have peace! but let it be a peace between peers. The only peer of democracy is democracy. When Prussianism flouted ite own royal bonded word as “a scrap of paper,” it forever abjured all right to enter into another treaty with self- respecting peoples. When Prussianism speaks now, no matter how fair the words, neither its friends nor its ene- mies believe. It does not even believe itself! Prussian speech is a mere means of disguising its purposes. How can there be a parley between Unfaith on its part and Unbelief on ours? Prussianism’s only absolution is res- titution. Its only symbol must be “sur- render.” Either surrender to the forees of the world which it has out- raged or surrender to its subject peo- ples which it has oppressed and de- ceived. The people of German rise to the height of world by tramplin: iy of Autocracy. the PEOPLE of Germany cry “Let us have peace!” we shall listen.
