Any good can come out of war beyond temporary relief. It would be a fine momentary gain to purge Germany of the present government and to reconstruct a Czech and a Polish state. The real sanitation of Germany, the cleansing of the land of the horrible sins of which its rulers have been guilty since Adolf Hitler rose to power, must come from within. Only Germans can do away with Nazis and their totalitarian state. If, as so many people believe, this war is but one phase of a world-wide proletarian revolution, even that may not be accomplished. There were liberal forces in Germany to which Kaisers government might yield its power.
