Chapter 38 Chapter 38: Loyalty Magna Carta

This new "Magna Carta of Loyalty" requires the people of the belligerent countries to accept the following oath: first, not to discuss, participate in or interfere in any way with the politics of today's war; Treaty, they should absolutely accept, obey and abide by.This new "Magna Carta of Loyalty" immediately empowers belligerents, and with that power comes the courage to make peace.In fact, with such power and courage, peace can be mastered and managed at once.I am fully convinced that once this power is given to the present rulers of the belligerents, they will at once take hold of the peace.I say I firmly believe, because the rulers of the belligerent countries, unless they are hopelessly mad or devils, in fact it must be admitted that they are not--even, I venture to say, that at present the most Nor is the maligned European, namely the Kaiser - the rulers of these belligerent countries must see that in total they are wasting nine million pounds a day, the hard-earned money of their people, to slaughter thousands Tens of thousands of innocent lives, to destroy the homes and happiness of thousands of women, is madness in hell.Yet why didn't the rulers, soldiers and diplomats of the belligerent countries see this?This is because they feel helpless in the face of the fear of the mob, the fear of this mob of the common people.In fact, as I have said, the fear of the mob has taken over and paralyzed their brains.I therefore say that if the present situation in Europe is to be saved, the first thing to do is to empower the rulers, soldiers, and diplomats of belligerent nations to save them from the fear of the mob—the fear of the common people.

Here I would like to further point out that the present miserable and helpless situation in Europe is rooted not only in the impotence of rulers, soldiers, and diplomats, but also in the impotence of every individual in the belligerent countries.Everyone is helpless and doesn't understand that this war, which no one wants and is only caused by the fear of the mob, is a kind of madness in hell.As I have said, this is because the fear of the mob has taken over and paralyzed everyone's brains.One can even spot that in Dixon.He wrote against war, condemning the rulers, soldiers, and diplomats who caused it.Professor Dixon didn't realize that the fear of the mob had taken over his brain.He stated at the beginning of his article that his article was not some kind of "armistice" book.Then he said:

"I think, as all Englishmen think, that now that we are at war, we should carry on the war till the integrity of our dominions and the safety of our people have been spared, and human wisdom can secure Until the time of peace in Europe." The British Empire and unity and stability, and peace in Europe, can only be achieved by continuing to waste nine million pounds per day without end, killing thousands of innocent lives? !I believe that such a colossal fallacy can only be uttered by those whose minds are filled with the fears of mobs.What a peace in Europe!I think that if this consumption and indiscriminate killing of innocents continue for a long time, peace will surely come, but by then I am afraid that Europe will have disappeared from the face of the earth.Indeed, if there is any indication that the common people are truly unfit to decide questions of war and peace, Professor Dixon's psychological attitude is undoubtedly the best choice.

Here, I want to insist that people in warring countries want peace, but no one has the ability to stop war and create peace.It is the fact that no one has the power to stop war and create peace that everyone sees no way to peace and believes that peace is almost hopeless.This desperation for the possibility of peace prevents the people of the belligerent nations from understanding that this war, brought on by no one's desire and merely the fear of the mob, is a madness in hell.Therefore, in order for people to see clearly that this war is just a frenzy in hell, the first thing to do is to let people see the possibility and hope of peace.In order for people to see the possibility and hope of peace, the first and simple thing to do is to stop this war immediately.Someone should be empowered enough to stop wars.Give absolute power to the rulers of the belligerent countries, and formulate our "Loyalty Magna Carta"-giving absolute power to stop this war immediately.Once people see that war can be stopped, all the belligerents, except a few hopelessly lunatics, understand that this undesired war, fueled by the fear of the mob, is nothing but a hellish frenzy.This war, if it continues, will inevitably destroy even those countries that are about to win.Once the rulers of the belligerent countries have the power to stop the war, once the people of the belligerent countries understand that this war is actually a frenzy between hell, only then will it be possible and easy for people to act like President Wilson (75) of the United States. Only a successful call for peace can be like that of former President Theodore J.Like Roosevelt (76), stop the war immediately and find a way to lead to permanent peace.I say this because I believe that the only thing of importance that the rulers of belligerent countries have to do in order to bring about peace is to build a mental hospital and put in it a handful of incurable lunatics - such as Professor Dixon That mob-filled fear--the fear of the integrity and security of the British Empire and the prospect of peace in Europe!
