THE SINISTER INFLUENCES BE-
HIND THE GERMAN PEACE
PROPAGANDA.
Germany's propaganda in the United
States has been revived with a new
object.
Having failed in her intrigues to
prevent the United .States from enter-
ing the war, Germany hopes to create
dissension in the peace council, sooner
or later to meet.
Realizing that her plans for world
domination and the annexation of ad-
joining territory arc now impossible
of fulfilment, Germany’s ruling classes
are trying to save what they can out
of the wreck.
Above all they want to restore busi-
ness find shipping advantages which
Germany possessed before the war,
which were fast giving her industrial
supremacy.
Thru a combination of ruthless di-
plomacy and the neglect of other na-
tions, Germany before the war enjoyed
free entry into all ports of the world
on equal terms with every other na-
tion, while she denied equal industrial
rights in her own country and her
colonies.
Over Russia she exercised an indus-
trial mastery thru shrewd commercial
treaties, which made Russia a business
province of Germany. Russia dared
not abrogate these old treaties. Nearly
all the import trade of Russia was
handled thru German firms and much
of it thru German ports.
In France Germany enjoyed the
most favored privileges wrung from
Fid cc in the war of 1870. German
business men were gobbling up French
trade and manufacturers, but French
capitalists were not allowed to pene-
trate Germany.
Free trade England and all her col-
onies were open to German business
on practical equality with the natives,
but Germany protected her manufac-
turers by a high tariff wall.
German export corporations were
subsidized by the government so that
they could undersell and drive out
their competitors.
The “trust” in Germany was not
only legal, but fostered by the govern-
ment. The practice of selling products
abroad at less than cost, and charging
the home consumer prices high enough
to make up thtf'd+fference was encour-
aged by the government and sub-
mitted to by the German people with-
out a murmur.
German business men and bankers
wete allowed to operate in the United
States on equal terms with Americans,
but in Germany American business
men who bought potash deposits were
ruthlessly compelled to give up their
holdings without profit in order to
preserve the German potash monopoly.
Germany has no law, making contracts
inviolate, such as exist in America.
Since the war Germany has for-
feited these advantages and the allies
have held several conferences to map
out plans hv which, after the war,
Germany will be deprived of her spe-
cial privileges and made to do busi-
ness thruout the world on equal terms.
This is what the Germans call the
“economic blockade." or llu* "war after
the war." They profess horror at the

'Pile propaganda now in progress
takes the form of attacks on England.
She is charged with plots again 31
American trade after the war. She is
charged with keeping millions of men
from the front.
The anti-English talk is the hall
mark of pro-Germanism. All these
forces are consciously or unconsciously
working for the big German financial
and steamship interests in the United
States.
Their newspapers, the German so-
cialist crowd who dominate the ridicu-
lous little socialist political machine in
the United States, the foreign lan-
guage presS and the organizations of
pacifists are all doing the work of the
German export “cartels."
I’resident Wilson in his Flag da \
speech once and for all committed the
United States against any German
peace fakes.
Those elements which seize every
cue from Merlin to clamor for peace
terms, to ask “what the war is all
about” and to criticise the allies of
this country have no longer anv ex
cuse of ignorance. The president
made the issues plain.
'Pilose who refuse to toe the mark
to the American program are flirting
with treason and the source of their
inspiration can usually be found in the
German financial interests.
