Excerpt from Germany's Point of View The author had one more object in mind in collecting these articles in book form. There has been much bitter feeling against the American press among the pro-Germans in this country, and among the Germans in the Fatherland. Without, unfortunately, being able to affirm that Germany has received fair treatment, the author wishes to bear testimony to the fact that the spirit of fair play has nevertheless been more prevalent here than in some of the other neutral states. When the war is over the knowledge that articles like these appeared week after week, and at times when the passions were highest, in a distinctly pro-Allies paper of such importance as the Boston Transcript will take some of the sting out of the charge of unfairness made against the American press. The defenders of the good name of Germany, had to contend against great odds, but they were not entirely denied the opportunity of pleading their case, as happened in other countries. In this connection it is only right to state that not once during the thirty weeks that the author was asked by the owner and managing editor of the Boston Transcript to contribute his weekly "Viewpoints, " was any request made or any pressure brought to bear upon him to lessen his freedom of expression. On the contrary, the author had an absolutely free hand, and his articles were printed as he had written them. This implies a degree of generosity which it would be difficult to duplicate outside of the United States of America.
