It has always been somewhat ol

nounce war in the most violent
terms who art- quite blind lo the
miseries of peace, the violence of
p,tile atrocities of peat e the

i'll.' Industrial Worker has liule
us.- l'or war. But compared to tin
outran* which are persistently car
ried on under I lie folds of peace
War itself is often clean in com
parison. It is all bad.
From our standpoint, the mas
ses who suffer in peace are those
nisi who suffer in war. and the
miseries of the one condition do
not cancel the miseries of the other.
Hut it must be pointed out that
just as Ions as capitalism lives and
flourish's, ;usi as long as exploita
tion is Ike basis of the economic
system. capitalism involves surely
the evolutionary development of the
.M in’. . itivitics into war with al
most .-• ientifh certainty.
Hence we tak" little stock in this
opposition to war that is now so
loud sounding upon llio part of
those who have spent their public
careeis in bolstering up the system.
That system tlia* they bolstered up,
that they upheld, that they promot
ed. led surely and definitely as a
logical development and as a natuial
evolution, into war.
General Wood delivered an ad
dress to businessmen ni New York
State. He said that tlm businessmen
got the nation into war, and it was
the duties of the soldiers to get
them out of the difficulty. He ex
plained that was why he so urgently
wanted a more . powerful military
armament. He knew- precisely that
there was always danger of war. and
■as the force that would have to take
a part therein, lie wanted that force
as powerful as possible.
There is no questioning the need
of a great militarism from a mili
tary point of view. That every of
ficer and every soldier should de
sire to see the military system ot
which they are units as large, as:
powerful. as well disciplined ami :
universal as in Prussia is not to be
question'd from their point of view.i
And their point of view is created j
because of the exigencies and the
■•merge-tries which business condi
tions ultimately call forth.
Tip- position of a militarist among
business men who prolit by tlie
system is supremely natural. The I
position of the paeiiirist among the j
men of industry. commerce and
finance is hypocritical. Those who
support the system must take the
effects with their prolit from the
causes. Why not? They accept
\> itii philosophic indifference the
v;1 r:*■ t> of industrial atrocities that
■ve I':."ii tine to time sitrred laboi
to a frenzy, and they inriir
■ •. : r.ipp i" tite most infatorus
o' exploitation of women and
children luring times of peace with
open raininess.
It cert;ti:il> is a luxury in itieon
,st- re ; to hear sotn- men who
sir it!; opposed child la! or laws
work : - themselves up as to the
horrors of war. The long, sordid,
miserable existence of a cheerless
' mi:I slave is as nothing, while the
life in the battlefield Is an inferno’,
duly those who have resolutely
■opposed tlie industrial horrors can
w it It consistent >' attack also the hor
j rors of war. Only those who have
l watched humanity turned into a
, gnarled mishapen thing as a result
of modern industry can logically
. also deplore those fim young lives
that . re cast away on “the field ot
honor”.
I: the human life that givis itselt
iw,'y on t.lie battlefield for an ideal
i" ,t however wrongfullj conceived,
does s-1 under the inspiration
1 ol tIfli: iileal, there is-i o such sordid
itv in tin dying as there is in
’ihi living in modern industrial hells
of which there are so many.
Today we read of this or that
avoidable industrial calamity: hero
in a coal mine, there in a munition
plant, again in a railroad disastit.
Tlcse accidents are 9!> per cent pre
ventable. Those in charge of these
! operations could have ninety-nine
times out of a hundred avoided
| them did they not allow their lust
I for gain to overcome their caution
I against accident. Moreover, the very
minute that nation is planted in
commercial, financial and industrial
rivalry against nation, there and
thmi the seed of war is sown. The
delay may take place over a series
of years until the slow working
psychology of the nation or the
race levelops the occasion—the day,
the day that always was the inevit
able fruition of national capitalism.
Until tlie system of exploitation
is overthrown everywhere there will
he wars and strifes and struggles..
Hence everyone who supports the
stem, bolsters it up. protects it
i and maintains it. is aiding and sup
j porting and maintaining the evolu
tion of that system to eventuate ill
I war.
Therefore it is that the commercl
i al, industrial or financial magnate
who is strong militaristic-ally is log
in ally a militarist. The businessman
' who lias profitted by the system and
still out of some pretense or an
other resists militarism and war, is
the hypocrite. He would enjoy
the cause while refusing to allow
any accountability for the effects—
refusing to admit that such an ef
fect was certain.
