Chesterton Says

nri i hat Lierman Arguments Prove England's Case The Brilliant English Writer Analyzes and Ridicules a Recent Speech of Chancellor von Bethmann - Hollweg Which Put the Biame for the War on Russia. By G. K. Chesterton The Distinguished Englis.i Publicist. mm 1: U v:n!i'r'v:-iry nowadays to justify tho noral i;.::,itio:i of K.-i'anJ in thv war. Wo can hk. noli. mi i:Uhr tnan tn fio'-iut and convincing Wt.s" of our TJririch policy dUvrroi by th (trrrnan. Ch'jnc-.'Hor in tho llcichFta. For V.u; p:iriocs of thh Te.-rnt argument, ft I not ne t 'sary to recapitulate it hrre otherwise fhuu In outline. But lest the tine irony of the form In which he cast it. or the time that has rince intervened, should hnre dimmed Jt m ;m!r. in any mind, I can hiiefJy rmi.rl t lie reader of what the Chan(ejlor said. He -aid he had refused the Knlis'i promise not to attnek or conspire to attack. Apparently he had refused it on tho pround that civilized Power? do not auck or conspire. So far we may manape to follovV li'.rn; civilized Power? may not; bur üenr.pny does. That (lerniany does, he then proceeded to prove. Though civilized Power.s do not attack anybody, be had asked for a promise of Ilns'ish neutrality in cae civilized Powers should attack (Germany. As it stands, this means nothing. It is lit ' t:p rith a ray of fntel'ipence by the admission that followed: that She imtm iiite answer to the original I'npü h promise had been a demand that Knglai.'d should remain neutral in any cae ThU. surely, is final. Wliat is the difference between a vow to be neutral and a vow not to be acre-?slve? What does it matter whether Jones promises IJ.-own not to join In an attack, or whether Jones promises Brown Dot to join in a ficht? There is one way in which it really does matter. It matters to Prow ii if hr intends to attack somebody. If he means to tight Jones's friend Smith, Hrown an ill hae one enemy the more under the first promts?, one enemy the less under the seepnd. Hy the Chancellor's own admission h' acted exactly as a man would act who contemplated taking the offensive. Next, he failed to get Iii complete neutrality, and tried to pet it ou condition that war vas forced on Germany. What he meant by "forced" he then explained, trying to show the Germans were ready to treat with Russia, but not with tfervia, whom Austria had already attacked. Then, he says. Russia mobilized; änd that made the war. Hy this view, mobilization is a challenge, but invasion isn't. Austria was not provocative in beginning an actual war: but Russia was very provocative In preparing for a possible one. 1 need not here watc any more time over such rubbish. Kveryouo knows that if getting ready is an act of war, Russia had been dolus It for about three days and Germany for about three years. Germans Only Talk Peace When They Have Made War. Is there any human interest in what tho Chancellor meant behind the sardonic and even suicidal nonsense of what he said? I think there Is; and I think the real German feeling Is 'much more worth knowing than such tired and clumsy hypocrisies. The Germans are quite insincere in saying they did not want to tight; but they are sincere enough In fighting. And they were sincere in the real nentiments that led them to fleht. These s .;;- timeuts can ho found written quite plainly iu the ethical and political literature up ;o r.)H. It is only In war that the Prussians talk: of peace; in peace they talked about notli ::g but war. It is probable that the Prussian did fcnag&tJv think liirustdf victor- if i not

F:t3:r to one v inrft nc mtngrii mmc.T -a victim. Amonsr hi nw and highly comic natures of pacifism, the one 1 like best Is tha chivalroJ attitude (actually taken up in tho Chancellor's speech) of romantically rescuing the poor Palkan3 from tho "pressure" of tl.ir pitiless enemy, Russia. I like that one; they will never do anything better than that. Put as the Germans apparently cannct ex pre?.-: what they mean, we must try to exp;:3 It for them. It i made harder b?aue t.ielr meaning is ma-k- d by a fog of mere pral-e of th Teuton. In wi.irh It is hard to trace the outline of any d'-finito Ma. for the Te.tomaniacs all virtue.! are the ppecial Teutonic irtues. They do not allow anybody el-r to socialize !n an thin:;.

Kven an rmrli-hman w ho h ' red Germans would agree that this statement d.es not explain them. T!U. at any rate, is :,r.t tho difference between Knp"ileh and Germars custom?; this throws no licht on the f;rt 'hat English chimneys are swept when the I; vseholtlr chooses, and German chimneys when the town council chooses. Rut this tiresome trick of praising ihn Teuton as the complete human being only conceal the real truth; that be is a very ir.c.mplete human being who honestly think-s himself superhuman. The nearest to a colorless statement of It is that the Prussian is an ex. ception trying to force himself R3 the rule. It is simply a lie to say that In thi3 case Germany was attacked. Put it is true to say that she more or less expected to be attacked, becau.-e she moved among men as a man moves among beasts. She guessed that fihe was unpopular, and she guessed right. Let us congratulate her upon this, and let us frankly Hlmit to the Chancellor (in return for his own f:-ikness) that If we are talking of pleas :rr:. as apart from principle, almost any people in the world would at any time have taken pleasure in knocking the stuffing out of Prussia. I,ef us give him the full benefit of the full confession, that wherever there were liberties, wherever there were free and loyal contracts, wherever two or three were gathered together to trade equally or to argue honestly, there really war, an unconscious conspiracy against Prussia. In all heartiness and simplicity let us own to the Chancellor that Prussia was not only .poisonous to all men's principles and ruinous to all men's 'souls; let us own that she was also rabidly and incurably destructive of all men's practical interests. This complete confession should surely satisfy the Chancellor. In this sense it is true that Prussia Is engaged in a war of defense; in the sense that only a war could defend any. thing so indefensible. There is some institution called "The Something of Democratic Control.' doubtfully supported by some of the most hopelessly undemocratic people I know. It professes a frightful fuss about "secret diplomacy." It regrets that Sir I-41 ward Grey's communications with our Ambassadors did not originate in a spontaneous uprising of the whole populace, as did the Insurance act; with all those public rejoicings among the poor which hailed the docking of their wages a few years ago. All such talk of secret diplomacy is discounted by a simple fact. If the democracy had differed from the diplomatists It would certainly have been in being more bellicose. And as all the democratic classes are more anti-German even than the aristocratic classes, so all the more democratic countries are more anti-German than the aristocratic countries. And the more enlightened the democracy Is, the more anti-German It ig. Few will deny that the Frenchman knows more about French foreign policy than the K:igl!sman about English foreign policy. And because the Frenchman knows the national policy more fully he algo supports it more fully. It is Idle to talk of letting the people know; the more It knows the more it hates. All alternatives, all evasions, fail before one inexhaustible fact of experience, which can be modified from Mr. PelIoc's Immortal couplet O conquering Teuton, does It ever strike you The more we see of you the less we like you?
