After this war is over, no man outside the Teutonic-Turco mad-dog influence will be so poor or so mean as to look upon a German German with real respect, much less with admiration. The world will cheerfully go naked and hungry ere it accepts food and clothes made in Germany. Americans with self respect will refuse to buy German goods, or to trade in stores that offer them for sale,--not indeed to "punish" Germany, but because the source is so loathsome and offensive. Germany, Austria and Turkey already have the contempt, the scorn and the hatred of the whole world, and after the war they should be ostracised and shunned for a thousand years. It will be only the most sordid and mean-spirited people of America, England and France who will again buy of Germany because her goods are cheap. It is now time publicly to declare in America the existing aversion to Germany, in order that all importers may be made to know and understand the intentions of the public, and thereby avoid loading their shelves with goods that they can not sell to Americans. Let signs go up now reading: "No German goods sold here." It is now time to drop the German language from every school in America, finally and forever. It is ludicrous folly to permit the language of America's only real enemy to be taught in our schools. Never again will Americans need it. We can well do without the language of brutality and tyranny. * * * * * One of the few good services rendered by this German-made war concerns South America. It has shown Brazil, Argentina and even Mexico exactly where they stand with respect to the Monroe doctrine. If Germany should win this war, then should all the nations of South and Central America pray to God for deliverance; for with Germany in the saddle, their peace and prosperity would be gone forever. With perfect clearness of vision, Brazil now sees this, and has the indomitable courage to act the part of a great and self-respecting nation, bent upon preserving the rights of her people. Argentina sees the light, but hesitates to take up her share of the white man's burden; and Chili says: "Let George do it!" If there is now even one Central or South American state which can not see that the United States,--with the moral support of the British navy,--has for years stood like a rock between them and the most rapacious and cruel people on earth, then that state is hopelessly blind. And for this service the United States has not asked anything but common friendship,--and sometimes has failed to receive even that!
