feated is essentially a German victory, and straightway leads to the Germanization of the world. A peace based upon a drawn battle between the Germanic Powers and the Allies is nothing else than the capitulation of the world to Prussian might and mastery." Woodrow Wilson and the World's Peace.

Vol. 9 THE JOURNAL OF RACE DEVELOPMENT OCTOBER, 1918 No. 2 PAN-AMERICAN IDEALS AND THE WAR' By Senor Don Ignacio Calderòn, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, from Bolivia About thirty years ago a far-seeing statesman of this country convened at the city of Washington the first PanAmerican Conference, and ever since our union has continued to grow. A better knowledge of each other has been developed and year by year our trade relations are gaining importance. To put on a more durable and solid basis our actual friendly relations let us try to study our national characteristics and ways of thinking, and by personal contact stimulate and develop the good-will amongst all our republics. It is a glorious feeling to know that all through this continent the citizens of republican America are born free and equal, with all roads opened to them to attain the highest honors, power and wealth; where no man is insane enough to pretend a divine right to rule or claim any special privileges. We gladly bow to and respect superiority of mind, of moral qualities or persevering energy, but will never recognize artificial or autocratic distinctions or kingly domination. The New World that has enriched mankind with such popular articles of food as potatoes, corn and other valuable products, is above all the promised land of equal opportunities, free to all men. Popular government based on right and justice is the solid foundation of our political institutions. No matter how much one republic may differ from the other in power, size 1 An address delivered at Springfield, Illinois, May 22, 1918. THE JOURNAL OF RACE DEVELOPMENT, VOL. 9, NO. 2, 1918 or population, the sovereignty of each of them is and must be equally respected. We owe allegiance to the same flag; the flag of democracy and liberty. While consecrating all our devotion to our own country, we are at the same time members of one great commonwealth, working together for the progress and welfare of mankind. Inspired by the same ideals of equality, freedom and justice we advance with one common faith and spirit of charity towards the immortal culmination of our destiny. When we look back into the history of the world, we cannot but feel proud for having eliminated from the New World all kingly privileges and class distinctions and established instead the people's self government. The invasion by northern hordes of barbaric tribes in the early centuries of the Christian era brought about the final disruption of the once great Roman Empire. Then as it is happening now, devastation and ruin followed their track. Civilization perished by the sword, and during many centuries Europe was the field of marauding feudal lords. Knowledge, science and culture disappeared and took refuge in the consecrated precincts of the monasteries. But in the fifteenth century, after the fall of Constantinople under the Turkish power, a great reaction took place in Western Europe, and a notable revival of learning followed: important inventions came into use, such as the printing press, the perfecting of the compass and the use of gun powder. The greatest event of all was the discovery of America by Columbus. It opened a new era in the history of the world. Although the feudal period passed away, and with the formation of kingdoms a greater order and security came about, the fate of the people was very little improved. The kings considered their subjects as mere instruments for the satisfaction of the ambitious expanding of their dominion and power, and kept the countries of Europe in a constant state of unrest and war. Towards the end of the eighteenth century a great political upheaval took place; the French people started a new and transcendental revolution for the recovery of human rights. |
