Horae. - Alasxa, under the Act of March I, 1879.
Nome, Alaska, February 10, 1010.
No one can accuse such a man
as NorthclifTe as being an alarmist.
Lord NorthclifTe has been a dyed In
the wool British conservative, who
himself admitted that ho felt the
Hrt». J. P. Morgan was unduly alarm
ed at the growth or socialist ideas.
Yet he is a far-seeing man. That
he is an able man beyond such
ability as is demonstrated in the
British peerage, is unquestionable.
Northcliffe was not always a peer.
He began his career with the Geo
Newnee Co. of London as a hack
■writer on Tit Bits and other of that
r.tass ui punuuiuuio. i iv wt”
conclusion that he knew more than
he was paid to know, and startod in
business for himself. Quito unlike
many who do so, ho succeeded with
a little two by four sheet called
Answers, modelled along the same
line as Tit Bits but which attained
a great popularity, and more im
portant yet made barrels of money
for Harmsworth. Harmswortli
branched out, bought the Daily Mail
and other papers and for able boost
ing of the conservative party was
made when he reached the multt
million pound sterling ciass, a lord.
Therefore the man’s observing
ability and acumen is hardly open
to question, for ho succeeded in a
business where some intelligence ]
and a modicum of brains at icat.t
are essentials.
Now this great man—because o’
his millions ami journalistic pro- j
l >rietorsliip—writes occasional lot-!
tors to American papers.Ho himself
has more closely modelled tiie Brit
ish dally along the lines of tho Am
erican daily than any other man in
Great Britain. He has an inclina
tion to that kind of jormvlism which
those who are too slow to follow
its nervous and energetic rapidity
of publication, called yellow journal
ism.
His letters are interesting and in
structive.
Thus in a recent communication
to an American journal he writes
with grim foreboding of tho future
when "millions of soldiers who have
gone through hell for their-count,
will come back and demand hot >r
working conditio ■ or
their sacrifice. 'I it. j • ■ i ■ • put
up with any nonsense", Nortb
cliffo nonsense among the res;..
He isn’t inspiring for the. Amer
ican plutocrat any more than he *s
for the European aristocrat:
‘‘This situation", he says, “in
bound to have an effect on your
country where the diffiereneco be
tween the rich and tho poor is ts
great if not greater Ilian it has been
with us. 1 have been through your
slums in New York and Chicago
and know the conditions.
In addition, thero Is the subtle
Influence of the war. For months
your people have, boon reading
about the spilling of blood. The
constant diet of war Is sure to bring
about an internal upheaval. The
American revolutionary war was
ttoe precursor of the French revolu
tion".
That’s written by a very observ
ing man. It is not likely that lie
will receive attention from the Am
erican capitalists to whom it Is
mainly and as a warning addressed.
The American capitalist is too busy
malting money to hoed what he
says. Yet it is certain that tho war
will result in a world of change.
That would be true even if the cer
tainty of change was not the law of
Jlfe.
Wo believe that it is utterly im
possible for a condition such as is
the war to exist for such a prolong
ed period, changing the lives and
thoughts of men and women so com
pletely, without a permanent change
resulting therefrom.
Over in Europe the entire social
environment is changed. The men
have changed with that environ
ment, and the thoughts of men.
Only shallow observers who have re
ported conditions dwell upon the
superficial results. The more ob
serving men, the keener and more
analytical newspaper correspondents
tell that it is a changed Germany, a
changed France and a completely
changed Great Britain that now ex
ists.
We quoted some time ago from
an article in the British Catholic
Times, formerly and completely re
actionary and ultramontane. That
writer dwelt upon the developing
social sense. But what he meant,
but did not dsro to say was the re
T V/Ill klUUUl J OUUDU.
Bonar Law told the Houso of
Commons the othor day that the
nation faced bankruptcy as a result
of the war; that It was only a met
ter of time wbes tho country would
reach the end of its bonding resour
ces, but that after that “other
measures'’ would have to be adopted
to carry on the war to a successful
conclusion. He meant confiscation
of property and money. He refuse 1
to deny it, and even the supporters
of Law, conservatives and tories,
all of them did not deny that that
time would come.
History may be standing still li
tho United States. It is moving
with seven leagued bools in Europe.
America may be tho land of peace
ful progress. But money makirg
has kept it social}' speaking advanc
ing ; t no very alarming rate. The
war is the element that has stlmu
lated progress in tho Europoan na
tions. The people are thinking new
thoughts. As yet they may be dim,
uncertain, illogical, incomplete, ne
bular and uncontrolled. But thev
are such as to result in greatly vita!
and radically social changes.
Our ideas as Labriola says, do not
come from heaven, neither arc they
born within us. They come from
our environment. But just the same
the new thoughts are perpetually
reacting on the environment and
producing change. That is the con
dition in Europe today.
The mentality that machine pro
duction provokes within a man Is
esentially a slow, logical and ruth
less one. The mentality produced
by this war environment is an explo
sive, revolutionary hut no less ruth
less one.
No wonder the nations are
changed. No wonder Northcliffj
lias gloomy forebodings for the fu
ture.
And he is correct when he says
that this condition will react upon
the United States.'
The idea that any nation under
our present social scheme can isolate
itself and be Independent of all
others is wrong. It might have been
true a century ago, hut it cannot be
true today.
Did this war leave America un
touched or unscathed? Didn’t it
tie up the American industries, send
thousands of penniless men into
bread lines? Didn’t it starve and
stress many and many a hundred
men? Didn’t it enrich with artifi
cial activity thousands of munition
makers? Didn’t it send millions of
wild profits beyond the dreams of
millionaires into the coffers of Am
erican proprietors? Hasn’t it sent a
president hysterlcaly rattling
through the cities demanding arms
and ships and men against some
unknown terror? Hasn’t it sent, a
panic through the administration
and scared societies and leagues and
associations into a clatter of babel
for peace or war or preparedness or
defense?
Surely is Norlhcliffe right when
he says that the changed conditions
as a result of the war will affect
America also. It couldn t be other
wise. Withal the rant of national
ism that now and then finds ebulli
ent space in the papers, the civiliza
tion that we live under Is interna
tional.
Commercial facts, chemical facts,
geometrical, mathematical, physical
•* ,
facts are all international. Science
has no country any more than has
art. No one has as yet devised an
American atomic theory or a Euro
pean law cl gravitation. What is
tai-ght in schools is merely tho na
tionalist adulteration of history; its
common socia1 truth is hidden, away
in the papers of the anthropollgln,
the sociologist, the economist, the
archeologist and the ethnographer.
These are enjoyed by the human
lace in common. And they all go
back to the fundamental as to how
tho human beings make their living
It is impossible to think that that
fundamental fact can be changed in
one place and not radically altered
in another. It is impossible to think
that the workers will control pro
duction for human use in one place
and in another place it will still in
sist in compelling the propertlless
to produce for profit, tl is not likely
that millions of armed men will de
mand better social conditions in one
place, and more millions of unarmed
men will merely complain in ineffec
tive fashion that thoy are compelled
to make bricks without straw, and
do nothing to change that condi
tion.
The groat profits that the Amer
lean munition makers are piling up
today have resulted in the nation
deeming false prosperity the basis
of a national industrial progress.
Europe is being drained to pay
these munitionists, but the idea that
this is going to result in a perma
nent national prosperity and a per
manent industrial good fortune, is
merely a political will o’ tho wl3p
that will be realized as a vanity in
a national discontent.
The share which' the American
nation is taking in this war Is as
Northcllffe acutely observes that
which arises from the reading of the
spilling of blood. That influence is
at the back of the thoughtless sup
port of the preparatlonist doctrine
now formally urged as a part of a
presidential policy. But another
force that Northcliffe did not men
tion is the corrupting influence of
this demoralizing munition industry.
The industry that creates weapons
of murder and implements of death
and fattens upon its profits, cannot
be socially ineffective. If anyone
can imagine that a national happi
ness and a national greatness can
he builded on such a blood stained
fabric as that they must indeed
mentally he obtuse. The influence
exerted by such an industry is no
less strong than the influence of the
reading of the spilling oi‘“dooa.
And neither of these influences can
he subjected to suppression. Practi
cally all the conscious demand for
preparedness is due to the muni
tionist industry; practically ali the
unconscious and thoughtless do

volutionary results of the war that
will be reproduced in America that
as Northclifto rightly foresees can
not be questioned.
