Chapter 39 chapter 39

Thus, I say, the one and only way out of this war, is for the people of the countries now at war, to tear up their present Magna Char-tas of Liberty and Constitutions, and make a new Magna Charta, a Magna Charta not of Liberty, but a Magna Charta of Loyalty, such as we Chinese have in our Religion of good citizenship here in China. To prove the efficacy of what I now propose, let me here call the attention of the people of Europe and America to the fact that it was the absolute loyalty of the people of Japan and Russia to their rulers which made it possible for the Ex- President Roosevelt to make a successful appeal to the late Emperor of Japan and the present Emperor of Russia to stop the Russo-Japanese war and to command and order the peace to be made at Portsmouth. This absolute loyalty of the people in the case of Japan is secured by the Magna Charta of Loyalty in our Chinese Religion of good citizenship which the Japanese learnt from us. But in Russia where there is no Religion of good citizenship with its Magna Charta of Loyalty, the absolute loyalty of the Russian people has to be secured by the power of the Knout.

Now see what happened, after the Treaty of Portsmouth, in a country with a Religion of good citizenship and its Magna Charta of Loyalty, like Japan, and a country without such a Religion and such a Charta like Russia. In Japan, after the Treaty of Portsmouth, the plain men and women in Tokyo whose Religion of good citizenship had been spoilt by the New Learning of Europe, raised a clamor and tried to create a panic, _but the Magna Charta of Loyalty in the hearts of the true unspoilt Japanese people with the help of a few policemen in one day put down the clamor and panic of the plain men and women and there has been not only internal peace in Japan but peace in the Far East ever since. * But in Russia after the Treaty of Portsmouth , the plain men and women everywhere in the country, also raised a clamor and tried to create a panic, and, because there is no Religion of good citizenship in Russia, the Knout, _which secured the abso-Peace in the Far East, I say, until lately the mob-wo rshipping Statesmen of Great Britain got their apt pupils the now also mob-worshipping Statemen of Japan, men like Count Okuma, who is the greatest mob-worshipper now in japan, _to make war against a handful of German clerks in Tsingtau!

lute loyalty of the Russian people, broke and thus ever since the plain men and women in Russia have had full liberty to make riots and Constitutions, to raise clamor and create panic._panic for the integrity and security of the Russian Empire and the Slavonic race and for the future peace of Europe! The result of all this was that when a petty difference of opinion arose between the Austrian Emperor and the Emperor of Russia over the degree of punishment to be met out for the people responsible for the murder of the Austrian Arch-Duke, the plain men and women, the mob in Russia were able to raise such a clamor and create such a panic for the integrity and security of the Russian Empire, that the Emperor of Russia and his immediate advisors were driven to mobilize the whole Russian army, in other words, to move that monstrous modern machine created by John Smith, Bobus and Moses Lump. When that monstrous modern machine,_ the modern Miliarism in Russia, began to move, there was immeasurable. diately a general panic among the plain men and women in all Europe and it was this general panic among the plain men and women in Europe seizing and paralysing the brains of the rulers and diplomats of the countries now at war and making them helpless, which, As I have already shown, brought on this terrible war.

Thus the real origin of this war, if you go deep into the very root of the matter, was the Treaty of Portsmouth. I say the Treaty of Portsmouth was origin of this war, because after that Treaty, the Knout,_the power of the Knout,_in Russia broke and there was nothing to protect the Emperor of Russia from the plain men and women, _from the panic of the crowd of plain men and women, _in fact, from the panic of the mob in Russia, _the panic of the mob for the integrity and security of the Russian Empire and the Slavonic race! The German poet Heine with wonderful insight considering that he was the most liberal of all Liberals, in fact the Champion of the Liberalism of his time, says: "The Absolutism in Russia is really a Dictatorship rather than anything else with which to bring into life and make possible the carrying out of the liberal ideas of our modem times (der Absolutismus in Russland ist vielmehr eine Dictatur um die liberalen Ideen unserer neuesten Zeit in re ten s Lebun the lasse n)" . In fact, I say again, after the Treaty of Portsmouth the Dictatorship, _the Knout, the power of the Knout in Russia broke and there was nothing to protect the ruler, soldier and diplomat of Russia from the mob,_that, I say, was the real origin of this war. In other words, the real origin and cause of this war was the fear of the mob in Russia.

In Europe in the past the responsible rulers of all the European countries were able to maintain civil order in their own countries and to keep international peace in Europe, because they feared and worshiped God. But now, I want to say, the rulers, soldiers and diplomats in all European countries of today instead of fearing and worshiping God, fear and worship the mob, _fear and worship the crowd of plain men and women in their country. The Russian Emperor, Alexander I, who made the Holy Alliance in Europe after the Napoleonic wars, was able not only to maintain civil order in Russia, but to keep international peace in Europe because he feared God. But the present Emperor in Russia is not able to maintain civil order in his own country and to keep international peace in Europe, because, instead of fearing God, he fears the mob. In Great Britain rulers like Cromwell, were able to maintain civil order in their own country and to keep international peace in Europe, because they worship ped God. But the actual rulers of Great Britain today, responsible Statesmen like Lord Grey, Messrs. Asquith, Churchill and Loyd George, are not able to maintain civil order in their own country and keep international peace in Europe, because, instead of worshiping God, they worship the mob, _worship not only the mob in their own country, but also the mob in other countries.
