an me o. ononiie and political urge

Tzar and the bureauerat y With
that removr.l earn*? the momentous
declaration of the Russian people
“peace without annexations and in
demnities”. This practically was
identical with the former epigram
of Wilson ‘ peace without victory".
The alarm at such.a declaration
x.aa teHi.il d in all British. French
and Italian journals. It is under
stood ttj.ti ..it- Italian government
Manifested such extreme concern
that nn inquiry was addressed to
the Allies as lo what I’.assia in
tended to do. Even those journals
in America connected with the hign
*-si of high finance, similar!) mam
Jested uneasiness and there was
tiniest a sense or r lief in thy eii
voriuls which commented upon the
quite recent Karnilofl' revolt as lik.
ly to rid the Slavic peoples of such
foolish notions.
None the less there has been
quiet acceptance of the Slav coin!
tion as 't s'ards today in almost ai
nations, with the exceptfon of :h- i
t entrai I’ov.er.. In Great Pvitain;

Austria-Hungary. to expel Turkey
from Kurope and retain the German i
colonies without debate has been
abandoned". France now alone
insists upon the return of Alsace
Lorraine, and with these two pow
ers thus practically putting their
imperialist house in order on the
basis of the most rigid thrift, the!
rest of the Entente must perforce |
fall in line. |
On the other hand it is extremely I
interesting to observe that the radi |
cals and the workers, and the two I
are almost now identical, in all of ■
the. European nations have seized
with avidity the notion of such a
peace basis as Russia outlines, with
ihe insi.deuce that all of the nations!
must hi- secured against the predo
minant of any oligarchic contriv
ance in government which would
precipit.ie- another war.
While They may he willing to con
tinue t’ war. the war in itself has
! • : in. - <>: .-■( coudery importance to
j; ;c r..di. .Fisro ot their aims with h
have long been blunted and rusted
’n dim. ■ whi'e directing .11 their
avryiis for or agiinst war. for or
Lganist coih-i-ription, for or against
conditions of final" e. service, dis
cipline and other tilings that now
a.- dropped in the discard.
Today all ot the European world
i: in a revolutionary condition, it
is idle to conceal that fact. The
Briisli workers who come over here
explain conditions as they are in
that country, and they explain how
it came to pass that Arthur Hender
son, the man who resigned from
the British cabinet and the British
war council, was easily the most
popular n an at the Trades Fnion
Congress.
Easily in the oost position in all
Europe to dseern and interpret the
signs of the times is the Vatican
Its envoys are almost all above the
possliility of being betrayed into a
partial statement of the facts, and
the sources of information to which
thi- oltici;-Is of 1 lie Holy See have
nee ---.-, ere beyond any question the
mint valuable and the most reli
abl lor such ends us they may de

cllcric.; of Europe hate men mor.

(l.o peace move which has just
proven abortive, we may well take
it, is inspired mainly with the tie
sire cf preventing any revolution
ary cataclysm subverting such au
iho.dty as prevails in the various
belligerent nations.
It has occasioned considerable
concern and much more consider
able admiration to remark tiiat His
Holiness the Pope, and the extrem
ists in sen: nations, had joined
11
•cue th. world tv r? V \v will r.n j
„w, r thi pm s'.ion in the afl’irma ;
Uvi. Nor is it to 1h- admitted that 1
purely lnimanitarian considerations ;
sugges ted the papal move. Thi ;
Catholic or Protestant churches |
have none of them entered the lists
as champions of peace at any price j
and Cardinal Gasparri has seen in )
onto of Wilson's suggestions im !
practical idealism.
on the contrary, it is tar more
likely thn: what do: - concern thi
'.'.•Mean most weightily at the pre
tit lime, is th fact that the pro
h ligation ;h" war ;•« much more'
1 ikley to result in the spread of re-,
\olutionaiy propaganda, and ii.
the success of which the C'atholi.
Church and the Protestant Churches'
are not likely to enjoy themselves
any too immensely.
The data held by the Vatican on
the European situation is searching
and thorough; it Is biassed only
to the extent that it is remorseless
ly. ruthlessly, irreconcilably direct
ed towards the maintenance of Ca
tholic Church supremacy and power
The revolution, which would result
in tire subversion of the present
system now in authority in all the
nations, is the one thing that is
feared and regarded with extreme
hostility by the clerical forces
throughout the world. and with
hardly an exception are arrayed
uc.v.- against it.
To hold the'vicw that Pope Bene
dict was inspired by feelings of a
ib .-re to obtain popular favor as a
1 pacificist and to spread the power
, of -.he church through the exercise
of ils b.-'ioiiciont power in the re
a',oration oi peace, m-y lie rejected
- loo ivprow and improbable.
The whole future is regarded in
in vision that is op m d before the
Hob. See. and the vision that ocoa
sioi s uit'li misgivings is the growth
of revolutionary socialist sentiment
throughout the wot Id.
Husain's entrance into Hie arena

It is quite singular that man>
of the leading papers of America
contrast the ideals and the policies
and the tactics of the Industrial
Workers of the World with the Rus
sian revolutionists, and in a manner
is equally disparagingly to both.
It is the fear that in America pro
letarian sentiment might crystallite

erfir'aliti-s of the daily press, not
athe repressions of autocratic ad

ing classes, can affect this at all in
the slightest degree. While the sur
face displays such stillness that
straws show not which way the cur

the mighty undertow is grinding
rocks into shape and furrowing deep
the age old crust of mother earth
ns it sweeps society forward to new
