A Poet Statesman
Barnouw, A. J. | January 24, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about Pieter Jell Troelstra, a well known socialist. Troelstra's aim was not to come to the rescue of Prussian militarism, an absurd charge to make against the leader of the Dutch Socialists, but to revive the Internationale, in which he sees the only power that can restore peace and brotherhood to the world. This unshaken trust in an organization which the war, at its very outbreak, has shown to be of small avail against the dissolving elements of national greed and chauvinism is characteristic of the man who, all through his active life, has been fired by a fervent belief in mankind.
