正文 chapter 40

I have said that the real in and cause of this war was the fear of the mob in Russia. Now I want to say here that, the real first in and cause of this war was not the fear of the mob in Russia. The first in and cause, _the fa o not only of this war, but of all the anarchy, horror and misery in the world today, _is the worship of the mob, the worship of the mob now in all European tries and in America, _especially i Britain. It was the worship of the mob i Britain which caused and brought on the Russo-Japanese war. After the Russo-Japanese war came the Treaty of Portsmouth and the Treaty of Portsmouth, with the help of the shout of the British Prime Minister, broke the Knout, _the power of the Knout, broke what Heine calls the Dictatorship and created the fear of the mob in Russia which, as I said, has brought on this terrible war. It is, I may ially say here, this worship of the mob i Britain, this worship of the mob among Englishmen and fners in a; in fact this Religion of the worship of the mob imported from Great Britain and Amerito a, _which has brought on the Revolution and the present nightmare of a Republi a now threatening to destroy the most valuable asset of civilisation of the world today, the real aman. I say therefore that this worship of the mob i Britain_this Religion of the worship of the mob in Europe and America today, unless it is at o down, will destroy not only the civilisation of Europe, but all civilisation in the world.

* The panic of the mob i Britain, _especially the selfish panic of the British mob in Shanghai and in a whose mouthpiece then was the "great" Dr. Morrison, the "Times" correspo in Peking, with their shout for the "open door" in Manchuria alarmed and ihe Japao the Russo-Japanese war.

This Magna Charta of Loyalty will protect the responsible rulers, soldiers and diplomats of all tries from the mob, and ehem not only to maintain civil order in their own tries but also to keep pea the world. What is more, this Magna Charta of Loyalty, _this Religion of good citizenship with its Magna Charta of Loyalty, by enabling all good men and true to help their legitimate rulers to awe and keep down the mob_will ehe rulers of all tries to keep pead maintain order in their own tries and in the world without the Knout, without poli, without soldier; in one word without militarism.

Now before I clude, I want to say a word about militarism, about German militarism. I have said that the first in and cause of this war was the worship of the mob i Britain. Now I want to say here that if the first in and cause of this war was the worship of the mob i Britain, the dired immediate cause of this war was the worship of might in Germany. The Emperor of Russia is reported to have said before he sighe order for the mobilisation of the Russian army, "We have stood this for seven years. Now it must finish. " These passionate words of the Emperor of Russia show how much he and the Russian nation must have suffered from the worship of might of the German nation. Ihe worship of the mob i Britain, as I said, broke the Knout in the hands of the Emperor of Russia which made him helpless again
