正文 chapter 37

Last of all, let us examihe case against the diplomats now in Europe. Now, acc to the theories of Gover, the Magua Chartas of Liberty and stitutions of Europe, the diplomats_the actual Statesmen and Ministers in charge of the gover and duct of public affairs in a try now are there merely to carry out the will of the people: in other words, merely to do whatever the plain men and women in the try tell them to do. Thus we see that the diplomats, _the Statesmen and Ministers in the Gover of the tries in Europe today, have also beere maes, talking maes; in fact mere puppets as in a Marioes show; puffed-up puppets without any will of their own, worked, pulled and moved up and down by the plain men and women. Being mere hollow puffed-up puppets, with only a voice, but without any will of their own, how then it be said that the diplomats, _the Statesmen and Ministers now in European tries are responsible for this war?

Ihe most curious thing, it seems to me, in the gover of all the European tries today is that every one who is actually in charge of the duct of affairs in the Gover, _ruler, soldier as well as diplomat or Statesman and Minister, is not allowed to have any will of his own; not allowed to have any power to do what he thinks best for the security and good of the nation, but every plain man and woman, _John Smith, editor of the " Patriotic Times, "

Bobus of Houndsditch, on Carlyle s time, sausage maker and jam manufacturer, but now owner of a big Dreadnought ship building yard, and Moses Lump, money lender, _are given full power to have all their will and all the say in the gover of the try; in fact, the power to tell the actual ruler, soldier and diplomat what they are to do for the good and security of the nation. Thus you will find, if you go deep enough into the matter, that it is these three persons, _John Smith, Bobus of Houndsditd Moses Lump, who are responsible for this war. For it was these three persons, John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump, I want to point out here, who created that monstrous modern Mae, _the modern Militarism in Europe, and it was this monstrous Mae which has brought on this war.

But now it _will be asked why have the actual rulers, soldiers and diplomats of Europe so cowardly abdicated in favour of these three persons, John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump? I answer, because the plain men and women, _even the good ho plain men and women, such men as Professor Dison, _instead of giving their loyalty and support to the actual rulers, soldiers and diplomats of their try, have taken the side of John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump against their own rulers, soldiers and diplomats. The two reasons a-gain why the plain men and women in Europe support and take the side of John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump, are: first, because John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump tell the plain men and women that they John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump belong to the party of plain men and women; and, sedly, because the plain men and women in Europe from their childhood have been taught that the Nature of Man is evil; that every man, whenever he is ied with power, will abuse his power; and further that every man as soon as he gets strong enough to be able to do it, will be sure to want to rob and murder his neighbour. In fact, I want to say here the reason why John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump have been able to get the plain men and women in Europe to help them to force the actual rulers, soldiers and diplomats of Europe to crea
