Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Duty of the Neutrals: Lecture Given at the Ateneo Madrid, Spain, January 10, 1917 Ladies and Gentlemen: It is indeed a great pleasure to be able to express here in Spain, especially before an audience in Madrid, the ideas which are dear to me, and my reasons why all nations and all individuals who place a value upon Moral Obligation and on beauty, or those who are simply heedful of their own Interests, should admire and approve the efforts of the Allies and the cause which they are defending with such glorious fervor as to assure the triumph of Right in this World. Citizen of a neutral country, I have the impression in to-day addressing myself to Neutrals, that I am, as it were, in my family, accomplishing a family duty - and that I have neither to limit my thoughts, nor to be careful of the language I use. We belong, you and I, to Nations who have no immediate need to take part in the actual vast conflagration, and we enjoy together an equal independence in any judgment or opinion which we may express. Nothing forces us, except the exaction of our convictions and the understanding of our destinies, to take sides with one party sooner than with the other. We find ourselves under conditions of freedom which authorize us to express ourselves uniquely in accordance with our conscience. This is a splendid position, as it places me at liberty to speak without reserve, and it assures me of being listened to without prejudice. You will judge the sincerity of what I say by that of your own opinions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
