[18] This is shown by the recent establishment and the success of Swiss periodicals which embody a reaction against the tendencies described in the text. Moreover, regrets similar to those voiced above have been repeatedly expressed by Swiss writers of independent mind. I may mention H. Hodler ("La Voix de L'Humanité"); E. Platzhoff-Lejeune ("Coenobium" and the "Revue mensuelle"); Adolphe Ferrière ("Coenobium" for March and April, 1917, in an article entitled The Effect of the Press and of the Censorship in Promoting Mutual Hatred among the Nations). [19] "The Masses, a free magazine," 34 Union Square East, New York.--All the items in the text are quoted from the issues of June and July, 1917. [20] Advertising Democracy, June, 1917, p. 5. [21] Who wanted War, June, 1917, p. 23. [22] Socialists and War, June, 1917, p. 25. [23] The Religion of Patriotism, July, 1917. [24] On Not Going to the War, July, 1917. [25] Patriotism in the Middle West, June, 1917. [26] This is said to have happened in the case of "Pearson's Magazine." (Consult the article on Free Speech, "The Masses," July, 1917.)--It is hardly necessary to refer to the masterly manner in which all independent persons who displease the authorities are implicated in imaginary plots. [27] Issue of July, 1917. [28] Since the article above quoted was published, the American Senate has imposed heavy taxation on war profits. [29] E. D. Morel, having served his sentence, has given a number of lectures in various parts of Britain, arousing the sympathetic indignation of his audiences by his account of the illegalities in his trial and of the undercurrents in the whole business. He was able to show that there were influences at work emanating from certain persons whose interests had been injuriously affected prior to the war by Morel's press campaign against the Congo atrocities.--Cf. _The Persecution of E. D. Morel_, Reformer's Series, Glasgow, 1919. [30] The allusion is to Victor Hugo's _Les Burgraves_. Burgrave Job is eighty years of age; Burgrave Magnus, his son, is sixty.--Translators' Note. [31] The section of Bellinzona, or of Ticino, was founded quite recently, in November, 1916. At the inaugural ceremony, the president, Julius Schmidhauser, delivered a speech in which he sounded an excellent European note. He contrasted the union of the three races of Switzerland with the spectacle of contemporary Europe still living in the prehistoric age, a Europe "wherein the Frenchman can see in the German nothing but an enemy, wherein the German can see in the Frenchman nothing but an enemy, and wherein neither can regard the other as a human being. For our part, we have a way in Switzerland of discovering the human element in all mankind."--"Centralblatt des Zofingervereins," December, 1916. [32] The text was written in the summer of 1917. Shortly afterwards, fresh dissensions arose in the Zofingia. These discords have been accentuated by the Russian revolution.
