Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Question of Alsace and Lorraine, Lecture Given at Aeolian Hall New York March 14 The Question of Alsace and Lorraine Ladies and Gentlemen: In December last I took a trip through Alsace, that is, through the strip which has been reconquered, going thoroughly through the country, looking into everything and talking with whomever happened to be on my path, my object being to gather further information on the Alsace-Lorraine question, which will be such a vital one when the moment comes to talk about possible Peace, and which has been so systematically distorted by the Germans, that the outside world has at best but a confused, or better still, a most contortioned view of it. For months I have been studying the subject, but have always felt that when the opportunity presented itself, I wanted to see on the spot all that was possible, to impregnate myself with the atmosphere, and to live a few days amongst the people, who, forty-six years ago, were transferred, against their will and protest, to a virtual state of slavery, and where the task-masters were the forty-five thousand functionaries imposed upon them by the conquerors.
