WHOLE NATION'S GUILT.

There is no danger of spiting our face. It is a matter of saving our face. We cau- not, we must not, calmly enter again into business or friendly relations with a rate that has run through the gamur of horrors and cruelties and indecencies. It is mere quibbling to argue that these horrors were not perpetrated by the cuinently respect- able business man with whom you have traded in the past and with whom you hope to trade in the future. By condon- ing these offences, by suffering them to con time, by rejoicing at their accomplishment the whole Germin people must be held responsible. There can be no blaming the battalions of Bavaria, and letting the simple souls of Saxony go unpunished. All Germany stands at the bar, convicted of guilt.
