H Y RAISE THE HATE-SONG
NOW?
[ate isthe emotion which goes with
and is inseparable from it. Un-
ly as hate in all its forms is, it
ily when it is associated with fear
t most, of us condemn it -utterly.
one has a good word to say for
rardly malice, but the form of hate
dominant in war has elements of
rage and righteous indignation
.ch redeem it in our eyes. But
pual malice, savagery, and the de-
to cause suffering are also a part
t and have been considered a nec-
ary part.
. long as differences are settled
force, the good elements in strife-
red will probably continue to
tgle with the bad ones. But in
er to develop these good elements
the men who have taken part in
y war either at the front or at
ae, it has been the theory of many
t a direct appeal should be made
the brute factors also. Now, in
er to develop the savage possibil-
s of civilized man, all the train-
of a life-time must be forgotten,
our civilization strives at every
i to keep these tendencies dormant
to turn them into useful channels,
1 the more it does this, the higher
consider it.

ocking as this theory sounds, for

ts so relentlessly, this is the basis
which much of the war talk of
led countries as well as of Ger-
ny has been spread. Lack of faith

faith in an esoteric religion of their
own.
Granted, for the sake of argument,
that the gospel of hate needs to be
preached to this generation in order to
get it to fight a war, since so many
apparently sane men hold this view
and practise it by means which they
would scorn to use to any other pur-
pose; the fact which concerns us now
is that the war has been fought and
won, by these means, or more likely,
by the courage and righteous indigna-
tion which leaders of public opinion
discount as unable to stand alone. The
war is over and peace is here. Now
at least it would seem, that war-made
hate has done its work and that it
is time to put it aside. It is as use-
les in the rebuilding of shattered
world confidence as a howitzer is in
reconstruction work in France. The
howitzer needs tobe junkedand re-
cast into a stove, and the hate which
did its work in the war just as the
howitzer did, needs to be recast into
relations of mutual well-wishing.
There are already signs that. most
of the American people, without rea-
soning the matter out, are doing this
very thing. With the house of Hohen-
zollern out of Germany and the pow-
er of the rich landowners of Prussia
muzzled, a growing kindliness toward
the struggling, discredited masses of
Germany is showing Itself. In the
name of heaven, why should it not?
There is only so much confidence in
the world, and as long as we live
together on this little globe we need
every bit of it we can get. Mutual
trust, like material resources and
economic prosperity, is the common
possession of all mankind and por-
tions of it cannot be destroyed with-
out a loss to every nation. The fact
that Germany has been untrustworthy
is a terrible loss to civilization and
although Germany must suffer most
the rest of us are doomed to suffer
also. Therefore, why gloat over Ger-
many's inferiority and treachery,
dwelling upon its enormity and
preaching unforgiveness? Why keep
the world store of mutual respect and
trust which has fallen low enough,
at its present scarcity as long as pos-
sible? Why seek to impress the
awakening German people with a
sense that the world is gleeful at
their humiliation and intends to keep
t1hem prostrate as long as possible?
Godspeed on the long upward road
ahead of them is no extenuation of
German guilt. Any penologist will
tell you that giving a man a chance
when he has shown signs of reforma-
tion is not condoning his original
crime.
Germany must repent in sackcloth
and ashes; this is inevitable. But
what elsewas yesterday's surrender
of the proud German navy, the col-
lapse of a dream of empire, or the
realization that she is living on the
bounty of her conquerors? Why, in

the midst of this situation, should civ-
ilized Americans, presumably having
world-welfare at heart, sing the hate-
song, prolonging the evils of war
when the war has done its work?
The day of destruction of life and
property is over; so is the day of
destruction of good will.
Let us hope that when the four
bands get together this year at the
M. A. C. game to play "The Star
Spangled Banner" they will have de-
