The fundamental error of some

with an Inadequate comprehension
and appreciation of tbe true meaning
and message of Americanism, tbey
Saws undertaken to Europeanine
America rather than Americanise
Burope.
Tne great American example, no
longer as experiment, points tbe way
to permanent world peace through
tan* nationalism rather than inter

the motto of tbe republic: 'Oat of
many, one," gives expression to the
message of Americanism which even
■•me conspicuous Americans do not

•tatea, on* nation; out of many races
religions,    tribes   and  tongues,   one
peopla.
America bas taken all tbe conflict
ing strain of Europe and bas combined tbem into tbe American blend. It
ba* produced homogeneity out of a
man* which in Europe remains heterogeneous, to tbat continent's constant peril. America bas pointed the
world the way to true internationalism, —tbe subordination of racial and
religious and class and caste lines to
she national ideal, tbe common sense
ideal of common interest and common safety and common progress.
Tbis separateness, tbis aloofness of
Murope, extends to the whole social
and political order. Political formations are stratified, — and ossified.

aristocracy, tbe proletariat, t. a bourgeoisie, tbe junker,—ibese are terms

r»pe carried on curtain raisers Tor the
great war. These wars were fought
with savagery beyond our comprehension, and when tbe governments
involved were too poor to buy modern armament, the fight was carried
em with primitive weapons until populations had been decimated. Tbere
waa a fundamental reason for tbis,
