Economie War in the English Colonies. 265<br />

The reader of the "Frankfurter Zeitung" who sends this<br />

cutting to that paper, observes with reason: "This is the serious<br />

opinion of a leading London financial paper which has been<br />

established in the City of London for over 31 years, and these<br />

are the people whose business classes were supposed to be the<br />

most respectable in the world—a people who because of their<br />

alleged strict adherence to good faith and sincerity, had possessed<br />

the confidence of business people all over the world!<br />

No matter what the result of the war may be England will<br />

never again be able to recover this confidence!"<br />

That fanaticism which finds so unlovely an expression in<br />

this London organ of finance has about it something that is<br />

absolutely pathological, something which must cause even<br />

Englishmen to shake their heads. But such things are the<br />

black fruits of the thug-like policies of Grey and Churchill.<br />

The Parisian press also saw to it that similar unbridled frenzies<br />

aroused the laughter of all respectable folk. For it demanded<br />

that England should seize all those iabulous treasures which<br />

the German Emperor was alleged to have stored up in Vancouver,<br />

Canada, and in parts of British India in order that<br />

he might still have something left after his pensioning-off and<br />

flight to foreign countries! It would be interesting to learn<br />

what sheets such as these think of the mental calibre of their<br />

readers.<br />

Economic War in the English Crown Colonies.<br />

England's brutal actions at home, found a direct parallel<br />

in her Crown Colonies.<br />

The policy of Great Britain stood in violent contrast to<br />

that of Japan in her interpretation of modern international law,<br />

especially when we consider the attitude of Japan after the<br />

capture of Kiao-Chau. We call attention to the following:<br />

1. Immediately after the declaration of war by England,<br />

all male German and Austrian-Hungarian subjects in the<br />

Crown Colonies who were between the ages of 17 and 55 years,<br />

were led away into concentration camps. The only exceptions<br />

made were in the self-governing colonies of Australia, Canada,<br />

and New Zealand.
