Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The German-American Plot, the Record of a Great Failure: The Campaign to Capture the Sympathy and Support of the United States On November 6, 1914, at the end of eight weeks spent in the United States immediately after the outbreak of the war, it was my privilege to describe before the festive spirits who comprise the American Luncheon Club of London some aspects of the world crisis on the peaceful side of the globe. My little talk ended as follows: "Knowing Germany as I do; knowing her plans, her strength, and her ambitions, I have more than once uttered to myself during the last three months a silent prayer than some contingency might arise whereby we of the United States could wade into this fight; for I am as convinced as I am that we are gathered here to-day that the vital interests of America are bound up with the cause of the fighting Allies." My prayer was answered. The United States has waded into the fight. As I write, in the third week of June, the issue of war or peace with Germany still hangs in the balance. Before these pages leave the press, the die may have already been cast. But whatever its visage, the red of war or the placid white of the only peace the American people will accept with honour, the intervention of the United States in Armageddon has become an accomplished historical fact. If the hard-beset Fatherland prefers a belligerent America to an America which coerced it without war into abandonment of piracy. President Wilson will have behind him forty-eight really United States, whose power to throw into the balance military and naval weight of no mean value can and will be speedily demonstrated. To the list of Germany´s miscalculations there will then be added her contempt for Americas war-making capacity in conflict with a European foe.
