Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from America and the War: Letters and Comments Written for Publication in the Press "This is a characteristic German manoeuver. I have no doubt but that these three Congressmen are carrying out the expressed wishes of Count von Bernstoff, the German ambassador to this country, and Dr. Bernard Dernburg, the German publicist. "In view of the activities of Representatives Bartholdt, Lobeck and Vollmer, it is important to consider whether the allegiance of these gentlemen is primarily to the United States or to Germany. Their silence is transparent. They are acting as agents of the German Government in Congress. What they do dovetails with the activities of the German ambassador. "A true explanation of the whole matter is found in the principle laid down in the German imperial and state citizenship law, article 25, paragraph 2. "This law sanctions the following practices: A German desiring to exercise the franchise of this country goes to the German consul, and from him obtains the written consent of the German authorities to retain his German citizenship, notwithstanding his naturalization. "Having done that, he goes before a court in this country and takes an oath of allegiance which, according to our laws, requires him expressly to foreswear allegiance to the German Empire. But that oath is not taken by him in good faith. He is not engaged in reality in becoming an American citizen, but in acquiring the right to use the American franchise although remaining a German subject. "In this way the German Government connives at wholesale deception on the American Government, and does so with the sanction of a law duly adopted by the Reichstag and bearing the signature of the German Emperor. "The attitude of mind which this situation has engendered is admirably illustrated by two recent articles of Dr. Dernburg.
