Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Friend, France: Lecture Given at Harvard University Under the Auspices of the Cercle Français; February 2, 1916; Lecture at the Harvard Club, Boston; February 1, 1916 They have been dressed up and masqueraded, both of them, by the German propaganda, which, having failed in its brutal action, hopes for better success through insinuation. Their manner of effecting public opinion is not dangerous, when it limits itself to criminal tactics, but it becomes so, when they advance seditious and false theories, apparently based upon facts, and against which the unwary are not warned. Amongst these theories there is none more perfidious, than the one, which consists in wishing to convince, us Americans, that France is only engaged in this War through the bad luck of having had Allies. This is done by giving false reasoning as to the origin of the Conflict, in attributing it to the commercial rivalry between England and Germany. They are well aware, in Berlin, of the great moral influence that France enjoys all over the world, the great sympathy she has always aroused throughout her history, due to the generosity of her great principles and of her conduct. But more particularly, here she counts innumerable friends who are not prepared to neglect her. We owe to her a debt of recognition, so evident, that nobody could dream of the possibility of our forgetting it; it would be useless, and too clumsy, for Germany to attempt to convince us that France is our enemy; but, on the contrary - how easy it is to exploit our old discussion with England, and to use her as a scare-crow. The German tactics are none other than this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
