Show v.--" The charge that Roosevelt is not patriotic is without founda- tion. No one believes that he is even on good terms with anyone t who is pro-German, but he is showing his hand as a militarist. f While he hates Germany and is working to help win the war, still he wants this country to adopt the German military system after ' the war is over. He does not love Germany, but he is infatuated with her militarism and wants America to try it when peace is restored. General van Bernhardi, author of many books on military mili-tary affairs, in his book, "Germany and the Next War," published in 1911, quoted liberally and with approval opinions of Roosevelt, on war. So in one respect Roosevelt is like the German leaders. He wants to fight. Had Germany not been so well prepared in 1314 there would have been no war. If we adopt Roosevelt's plans after the war we will then be placed in the same position Germany was before the war. |
