The Central and South American republics should now set their houses in order in regard to their future dealings with the German "influence," and German commercial aggression. They should take warning from the condition of Italy before the war, when German capital and German greed held the banks, railroads, and sea commerce of Italy literally by the throat. Do Argentina, Chili, Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia wish that condition to obtain with them? After the war, Germany will make a tremendous push to secure commercial supremacy in South America; and let South America beware! The time to build dykes is before the floods come, not after. * * * * * Saith the Psalmist with inspiration from the same God whom the German Kaiser piously and persistently claims as his silent partner, "=The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.=" And to pan-Germany, Turkey and Austria we transmit that solemn promise of Holy Writ of what is in store for them, in punishment for their high crimes against humanity. After the war, nothing can save them from existence in a hell of national poverty, and world-wide scorn and aversion, all of their own making.
