The American ideal of represntative government with its concomitants of justice and liberty is the chief asset of the people of the United States.

Unless our historians and political philosophers have led us all astray we can trace this conception of the rights of men to ancient Germanic influence.

The idea was not born with the present generation, it was not an invention of the framers of the Constitution, it did not originate in the Mayflower. It is a part of our racial inheritance. Our Puritan forefathers brought it with them from their island home across the sea.

We find it in the English common law, functioning in the House of Com

righteous nations will some day unite in their defense. We trace the lineal, stream of our free institutions, however, not to Greek, Roman, Celtic or Slavic sources, but to Germanic. It is not . amiss to recall our kinship with the people of Germany.

What has gone so terribly wrong with the world? Why this terrible warping of international relationships that has thrown into bloody antagonism the very nations that with due regard for racial origins should be making common cause for humanity, and liberty.

The answer is

Prussia. The King of Prussia is the Emperor of Germany.

Prussia comprises three-fifths of the territory and five-eighths of the population of Germany.
