THE CHIS1S.
It is more titan likely that almost
everyone has felt himself inclined to
take sides in the great European
struggle. Certainly, it has been
evident that the country, notwith
standing the somewhat nebulous
neutrality supposed to prevail, found
itself divided in the sympathies ex
tended to the belligerent nations
across the water.
Broadly speaking, t lie close con
nection which had been naturally j
•and artificially established between j
<treat Britain and the i’nited States
bad served to create such a condi- i
tion between the peoples of both
countries that the majority of the
more influential citizens 01 the j
fnited States sided in with the
Entente.
The masses of the people reflected
the opinions of this more or less
constantly emphasized view, and the
majority ot Amerrican papers while
at fei ting an earnest neutialit v were
nothing of the kind.
it was too late for Germany to do
nnvthing when it was discovered
that the Allies controlled the prin
cipal papers of this country, and
the efforts to remedy this state ot
affairs were not marked with happy
.'act especially because the fact was
observed too late.
While the Fatherland endeavored
:o carry on a propaganda devoted
to Fair I’d y for Germany and its
Allies, it tell into the same exces
sively biassed policy as was mani
fested by 1 lie pro Entente press ot
the country, and the somewhat
spiteful energy of the Ilearst papers
to deride peace polieiee and at the
; ame time to support Germany, only
made matters worse. The Ilearst
papers are without any real influ
ence.
('oiis«*c|U('iit!y ( 1h* situaiion pro*
ressed from bad to worst' and al
most unroiist iously a pro-Entente
policy was adopted throughout the
• ountrv: in government and in the
i
nat ion.
Aside front these emotional far-t
tors which are after all themselves
< ffects of a more important cause-,
the real factor in creating it strong !
pro Ally sentiment and shaping a
strong iiro-war sentiment in gov
eminent and in the nation was the
fact tliat tlte economic interests ol
the capitalists of the 1'nited States
were almost entirely on the side
of the Allies.
The great war orders which came
hooding into the country scattered
prosperity among American specu
lators and business men. The tide j
of gold that flowed into the coffers
of the financially great exceeded
the dreams of avarice. The con
tinued traffic with the Entente
belligerents became the foundation
of collosal industries in the United
States of America and some men
saw their incomes reach the billion
aire standard.
Since the war broke out in Eu
rope only one serious panic occur
red on Wall Street, and that follow
ed a prevalent idea that peace was
not only possible but actu
ally was close at hand. Stocks
crumbled in price; uneasiness pre
vailed everywhere and even food
prices were allowed to decline by :
the scared speculators holding Tor
n rise.
The export trade of the United
States during tlie war reached
figures which under anything like
peaceful and normal conditions
would have been impossible and it
is true to say that a large’ section
of the United States manufacturing
industry became an industry devoted
10 tlte service of the Entente Allies.
New factories weht up. huge blocks
of steel and concrete grew overnight
—cities were born in a month and
the prosperity of businessmen be
came a fact in every way.
Consequently the manufacturing,
the commercial, the financial inter
ests of the United States became in
definably hut indissolubly linked
with the Entente nations and al
though there may have been no al
liance politically, there was such
an alliance between them as neces
sitated an ultimate political alli
ance.
The certainty that the United
States would have become involved
in this war was absolute. The eco
nomic forces which direct its desti
nies certainly made it an inevitable
event in the long run. And al
though there may have been needed
some highly worthy, elevating, and
moral motives, these will never be
lacking when economic interests de
sire a cloak under which to operate
as their interests dictate. They cer
tainly are plentiful enough just
now.
This seems supremely natural.
These economic interests are the do
minating economic factor. Their
cause is the national cause and
their welfare is that which has to
be considered first, last and all the
time. All the political activities ot
consequence have that'welfare lor
prime consideration and the concep
tions of modern statesmen never
lei such considerations out of their
range ot vision.
Consequently the first step sug
gest! d was preparedness which as
sumed quite a gigantic momentum
among those controlled by those
interests. It was realized that this
war created conditions of great
prospt rity for some and great de
privation for others; it was very
dearly realized that the extreme
between rich and poor had become
very wide indeed. it was realized
tbit the musses had readied a de
gree of relative pauperism that was
resented and a record of exploita
tion that promoted discontent; that
prosperity for big business had
come to mean finite the reverst
l'or the workers, and that it would
he difficult to control the latter un
less a mental condition was pro
duced by the stimuli of war, pre
paredness or other ideals. These
were therefore steadily propagated
and steadily urged by the kept
press which proved its utility in this
regard by developing a really noble
atmosphere of lofty patriotism. The
masses were subtly and very clever
ly taught that when munition mak
ers, war-baby nurses, speculators
and others sold to belligerents and
starved America to feed a host ot
war crazed maniacs, they were per
forming the highest of our social
functions, while when the masses lo
cally sought to get food and women
with starving babies refused blindly
to accept their fate, socially they
were considered highly dangerous
mobs. This perversion of the ego
ism of the masses which is thus in
stanced is due primarily to the ease
with which the real causes of things
can he ignored and quite regardless
of the end sought, a glorified means
will lead society into most fantastic
policies.
That Germany in again resorting
to submarining felt that war would
result we may lay down as a fac.
only if we understand by Germany,
us Germans understand of America,
the powerful classes therein. Tin
masses of Germany know as little
and are consulted as little as the
masses in the'United States—quite
possibly now that they are in the
extremity of war, a good deal less.
The German rulers knew that war
was inevitable if submarining was
indulged in but frankly it had to
be so accepted. The situation as far
as Germany is concerned is desper
ate if enemies possessed of practi
cally unlimited wealth are allowed
to use the wealth and the credit
extended to it, to maintain an in
definite war.
Hence interference with this mu
nition traffic on the high seas be
came just as vital to German victory
as resistance on the Somme or the
conquest of Rumania.
It is to be believed that Germany
had calculated the cost, and the
cost of war in Germany as among
the Kntente, and as among the peo
ple of America, will have to be born
iu life and treasure by those who
have the least of these, and who
have little enough to gain. The
workers pay the price In peace and
will pay it in war.
