Manawatu Herald. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1917. GERMANY MORALLY BANKRUPT.
THE .completeness of the isolation ami the moral bankruptcy of Germany was recently described in telling fashion by the New York Evening Post; —“That Germany's food supply is failing everybody knows; that many of her industries are ruined is not denied; that her shipping and commerce have suffered blows from which it will take a generation to recover is admitted by German business men. It is not strange that they arc reported to bo urging peace as an imperative necessity if anything is to be saved out of the wrcclc. But Germany has to mourn to-day a greater loss than any of those mentioned. She has lost h ( cr reputation. She has squandered her moral assets. At a time when she needs to call up all her reserves of good faith and confidence, she finds that they- have been wasted. Nobody' believes her; nobody trusts her. Upon the German Government the disagreeable evidence that it is morally bankrupt is being pressed from every quarter.”
