Last of all, let us examihe case against the diplomats now in Europe. Now, acc to the theories of Gover, the Magua Chartas of Liberty and stitutions of Europe, the diplomats_the actual Statesmen and Ministers in charge of the gover and duct of public affairs in a try now are there merely to carry out the will of the people: in other words, merely to do whatever the plain men and women in the try tell them to do. Thus we see that the diplomats, _the Statesmen and Ministers in the Gover obbr></abbr>f the tries in Europe today, have also beere maes, talking maes; in fact mere puppets as in a Marioes show; puffed-up puppets without any will of their own, worked, pulled and moved up and down by the plain men and women. Being mere hollow puffed-up puppets, with only a voice, but without any will of their own, how then it be said that the diplomats, _the Statesmen and Ministers now in European tries are responsible for this war?Ihe most curious thing, it seems to me, in the gover of all the European tries today is that every one who is actually in charge of the duct of affairs in the Gover, _ruler, soldier as well as diplomat or Statesman and Minister, is not allowed to have any will of his own; not allowed to have any power to do what he thinks best for the security and good of the nation, but every plain man and woman, _John Smith, editor of the " Patriotic Times, "
Bobus of Houndsditch, on Carlyle s time, sausage maker and jam manufacturer, but now owner of a big Dreadnought ship building yard, and Moses Lump, money lender, _are given full power to have all their will and all the say in the gover of the try; in fact, the power to tell the actual ruler, soldier and diplomat what they are to do for the good and security of the nation. Thus you will find, if you go deep enough into the matter, that it is these three persons, _John Smith, Bobus of Houndsditd Moses Lump, who are responsible for this war. For it was these three persons, John Smith, Bobus and Moses L<s>９9ｌｉｂ?</s>ump, I want to point out here, who created that monstrous modern Mae, _the modern Militarism in Europe, and it was this monstrous Mae which has brought on this war.
But now it _will be asked why have the actual rulers, soldiers and diplomats of Europe so cowardly abdicated in favour of these three persons, John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump? I answer, because the plain men and women, _even the good ho plain men and women, such men as Professor Dison, _instead of giving their loyalty and support to the actual rulers, soldiers and diplomats of their try, have taken the side of John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump against their own rulers, soldiers and diplomats. The two reasons a-gain why the plain men and women in Europe support and take the side of John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump, are: first, because John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump tell the plain men and women that they J<samp></samp>ohn Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump belong to the party of plain men and women; and, sedly, because the plain men and women in Europe from their childhood have been taught that the Nature of Man is evil; that every man, whenever he is ied with power, will abuse his power; and further that every man as soon as he gets strong enough to be able to do it, will be sure to want to rob and murder his neighbour. In fact, I want to say here the reason why John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump have been able to get the plain men and women in Europe to help them to force the actual rulers, soldiers and diplomats of Europe to create the monstrous modern mae, which has brought on this terrible war, is because the plain men and women in every try, when in a crowd, are always selfish and cowardly.
Thus, if you go into the root of the matter, you will see that it is not the rulers, soldiers and diplomats, not even John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump, but it is really the good ho plain men and women, such men as Professor Dickison himself, who are responsible for this war. But Professor Dison will repudiate and say: We plain men and women did not want this war. But then, who wahis war? I answer. Nobody wahis war. Well then, what brought on this war? I answer, It anic which brought on this war; the panic of the mob, _the panic which seized and took possession of the crowd of plain men and women in all European tries when last August that monstrous modem mae in Russia which the plain men and women had helped to create, began to move. In short, it anic, I say, _the panic of the mob, panic of the crowd of the plain men and women unig itself to and seizing and paralysing the brains of the rulers, soldiers and diplomats of the tries now at war and making them helpless which has brought on this terrible war. Thus we see, it was not, as Professor Dison says, the rulers, soldiers and diplomats, who have ducted ahe <dfn></dfn>plain men and women of Europe into this catastrophe, but it was the plain men and women, _ the selfishness, the cowardid at the last moment, the funk, the panic of the plain men and women who have driven and pushed the poor helpless rulers, soldiers and diplomats of Europe into this catastrophe, _into this hell of a war. Ihe tragic hopelessness of the situation now in Europe I want to say here, lies in the abject, pitiful, pitiable helplessness of the actual rulers, soldiers and diplomats of the tries now at war at the present moment.
It is evident therefore from what I have shown in the above, that if there is to be pea Europe now and iure, the first thing to be done is not, as Professor Dison says, t or call in, but to remove and keep out the plain men and women who, when in a crowd, are so selfish and cowardly; who are so liable to panic whehe question of pead war arises. In other wor<bdi></bdi>ds, if there is to be pea Europe, the first thing to be do seems to me, is to protect the rulers, soldiers and diplomats from the plain men and women; to protect them from the mob,_the panic of the crowd of plain men and women which makes them helpless. In faot to speak of the future, if the present actual situation now in Europe is to be saved, the only way to do it, it seems to me, is first to rescue the rulers, soldiers and diplomats of the tries now at war, from their present helplessness. The tragic hopelessness of the situation now in Europe, I wish to point here, is that everybody wants peace, but nobody has the ce or power to make peace. I say therefore, the first thing to be done is to rescue the rulers, soldiers and diplomats from their present helplessness; to find some means to give them power,_ power to find a way to make peace. That, I think, be done only in one way and that is for the people of Europe, _for the people of the tries now at war, to tear up their present stitutions and Magna Chartas of Liberty, and make a new Magna, Charta_a Magna Charta of Loyalty_such as we ese have in ion of good citizenship here in a.
