After a while war breaks out with some foreign power. and if their husbands happen to be located within the boundaries of the country against which we declare war. we confiscate all their property in this country. turn it over to an Alien Property Custodian. sell all the property. possibly. and invest the proceeds in our Liberty bonds to wage war against the country to which they belong. and we classify them technically as alien enemnies. They may or may not be enemies at all actually. They may be very sorry that they ever got married. butthere they are and their property is taken from them. � How is it possible by an act of legislation or judicial inquiry. even if we had the time to make it. to ascertain whether any American girls who married men who were German nationals. so classified. felt more bitter toward this country than their husbands did. or whether their husbands felt more bitter toward this country simply because they were living here and not naturalized citizens. but lnay have been college professors. or rich or poor? I can not conceive how we can go into those details. It is utterly impossible to ascertain the sentiments of the feminine heart and how they felt in 1917 whei we entered the war.
