“God Punish England”
REBUBE OF THE CAM PAIGN OF HATE.
The following is an extract from Frankfurter Teitung which shows that at last some of the German moulders of public opinion are beginning to see the folly of their campaign of hatred against England, and which, perhaps shows that the German newspapers are not now so sure of their ultimate victory as they were some months ago. The paper says, in its issue of February 27th. What sense is there in German professors declaring that they will no longer collaborate with this or that scientific institution in England ? Science and art have always appeared as the common possession of civilized peoples, and does not one injure one’s own people and its science by sitting on the stool of isolation and by breaking off scientific intercourse? For months we have experienced all sorts of wonderful letter headings and forms of .‘-.ikiTatibn and similar things .Giiei: aie fundamentally uncAr uan, inasmuch as they are copie,' from Gallic theatrically. While Hymns- of Hate may spring from genuine internal excitement, salutations such as the etdebrated “God Punish England ’’are not only fundamentally ‘ islelets and histrionic, but
are quite ridiculous, because they propagate a spirit,, even though only superficially, which is not compatible with the future co-operation of peoples which, nevertheless, must come to pass again at some time, We are deep in war and we have to collect all our strength to beat our enemies, and especially to subdue our most dangerous enemy, England : but after the war must follow a peace which shall render possible calm and assured work. This work must be performed in conjunction with other peoples whom we cannot exterminate, who will renew their intercourse with us as we shall with them. The war now has been proceeding for seven months, and the end is not yet in tight. But the passions with which it is being waged require purification, .sincehappily, times of peace are continuous and times of war are only interruptions. —REUTER.
