Carnegie Defends Kaiser and Opposes Christmas Truce
Andrew Carnegie, a White House caller, strongly opposed a Christmas truce in the European War. He argued it would be unchristian and immoral to stop fighting and resume later, blaming Germany’s military caste for the war. He said the Kaiser was ill and opposed to war but surrounded by militarists eager for conflict. Carnegie expressed hope for lasting peace and offered to help when the time comes, noting Wilson’s earnest desire for peace. He also voiced deep sympathy for soldiers in the trenches and commented on the Kaiser’s plight during the war’s breakout.
