WAR IS LIKKLV.
Just now the critical situation
which has resulted from the Amer
ican difficulties with Germany gives
every indication of steadily shaping
itself towards war. Yet it is appar
ent the country does not want war,
and it is clear that the reason that
President Wilson is being Inaugurat
ed today for a second term is be
cause the party of which he is the
head cleverly circulated the slogan
that he kept us out of war, and the
< onvention which nominated him
made peace the keynote of the con
gress.
But we have insisted that the
real life of the nation is outside the
political life and that political life
is merely a reflex of the economic, j
life which today practically main- |
fests itself in the foreign as well as
the domestic policies of the nation. !
The economic life of the naiton, too. I
centers in the great financial, con.- J
mereial and industrial powers ot
America and it is they in the last j
analysis and not the people who will
decide peace or war.
It is to be hoped that no person
is today so ingenuously minded as
to believe the wars are begun for
any other but economic reasons, I
reasons, and that Questions of right
or wrong are decided when peace or
war is disposed of by the govern
ments.
The tacts have Been so irciiunmj
and so cleverly laid hare that any
person who runs should have read
that wars have their origin in eco
nomic impulses which easily enough
when it is desired can cloak them
stlvcs in the form of very lofty mo
ral purposes and humanitarian ends.
It is (|iii'e unnecssary to point
•out that Germany claims today to
he fighting to clear the continental
life of Europe*of assassinative poli
cies and to punish those who sought
to interfere with the government of
Austria-Hungary when that nation
would discipline the Servian cut
throats. We are ail made aware by
several writers, pamphleteers and
bookmen that Great Britain went
to war against the Central Powers
because of the invasion of Bel
gium.
* None the less the persistent eco
nomic demands of Grca’er Germany
and Greater Britain had the war
planned and fashioned long before
it broke upon the surface of Europe.
The finer aims alleged by the war
ring interests merely serve to justi
fy those who would otherwise hes
itate in taking the leap, and in the
event of the United States entering
the war, we can be assured that
those whose interests dictate that
step and who must pervert the in
terests of the masses opposed to any
war before they can make that step
feasible, will properly place the wai
in no forbidding light before the pa
cificist people, but instead will dress
it in a suitably attractive garb with
patriotic frills which will rouse the
masses and enable them to be led to
tlie slaughter in a manner as con
ventionally simple as has been
achieved in Europe.
The ver/ powerful in industry, ir
commerce and in finance in tilt
United States have interests which
have become almost identical with
that of the Entente. They have made
millions from the sale of supplies of
all kinds, munitions of every sort
and they have loaned millions of
good money. The trade that has
been built up Is enormous. It is
there in globular millions in the
reports of the excess of exports over
imports. It is told In the congested
wharves and In the over taxed ware
houses. It is collosal and It is Im
perative that steps be taken which
■will prevent such enormous gains
from being ended or being jeopard
ized.
It is difficult to persuade the peo
ple that their interests are identical
with those who are responsible for
so increasing the costs of Hvlng that
the prices of even simple necessities
are fabulous it not prohibitive. Yet |
it will be done and will be done in
an absurdly simple manner.
The press, which will echo the in
terests of the finacially great, the in
dustrially supreme and the com
mercially powerful will voice the
reason why war is a fundamental
necessity and a patriotic duty. Some
considerable waving of the flag and
a judicious use of demonstrations,
parades and protests will carry for
ward the most lethargic and the
masses will be induced to plunge
with grace and ease and pleasure
into the suicidal maelstrom wherein
the nations of Europe are now be
ing dragged down to the uttermost
depths.
That protests will be made by
some of the saner pacificists against
this folly may be reasonably ex
pected. But in his talk to New York
businessmen, former President Taft
has said how the pacificists c^ii be
dealt with who persist in opposing
war which the interests have long
since determined upon being a ne
cessity when he said that pacificists
like Bryan will have to be kicked
into war.
This process will be made use of
after the war has become a justifi
cation for the removal of every civil
right and every particle of personal
freedom. It will mean that the free
press will become properly censored
or failing to obey will be suspended.
The free expression of opinion will
be properly squelched and there
will be efforts taken to remove any
possible semblance of liberty which
might affect the proper and success
ful carrying on of a war to protect
the great interests on whose behalf
it might be waged.
Auer uie war aim wnen me ua
tional stock taking will be proceed
ed with, when national sanity will
have usurped the place of the in
sanity which prevailed there may be
a clearer realization of what caused
the war and why it was inevitable.
That it will advantage to be posses
sed of greater wisdom in the future
than in the present is not very clear
and human beings have long since
realized that there is only cold com
fort in the fact that hindsight is
better than foresight.
Because however great and power
ful economic interests in the United
States desire for those Interests that
there shall be war. we may reason
ably expect that it can be brought
about. It might be prevented by
the masses refusing to see how that
war is a necessity and declining to
allow their own interests to be per
verted to the interests of the econo
mically supreme.
But for such an eventuality being
brought about it presupposes for the
workers just as powerful an orga
nization as that which the economi
cally supreme possess and they
have nothing of the kind.
If war should as it doubtless will
after a decorous period of watchful
ly waiting for an overt act, he
brought about, there will be small
and localized and sporadic outbursts
against any such a terrible cala
mity; men whose minds have not
failed to earn lessons from the Eu
ropean struggle will sacrifice them
selves to prevent war. But they
will not be a majority by any means
and the majority will pay the penal
ty of disorganization which they
have allowed to exist among them
and to be perpetuated to their un
doing.
They will be victimized to the ex
tent that a powerful capitalist class
will have the power to compel from
them a noble service and succeed in
persuading them in their own minds
that they are doing something of
which they should be rightly proud.
But the economic impulse which dic
tates that condition will be wisely
kept in the back ground so that the
national hypnotism may be the more
effective.
