"Abraham Lincoln said that this Republic could not exist half slave and
half free. Now, with similar clarity, we perceive that the world
cannot exist half German and half free. We have to put an end to the
bloody doctrine of the superior race--to that anarchy which is
expressed in the conviction that German necessity is above all law. We
have to put an end to the German idea of ruthlessness. We have to put
an end to the doctrine that it is right to make every use of power that
is possible, without regard to any restriction of justice, of honour,
of humanity."
