THE SOCI.M.ISTC GOMEItEXCE.
The denial of passports to the
socialists to attend the conference
in Stockholm is a short sighted po
licy It signifies first of all distrust
in tli» attitude of the administra
tion towards American socialists,
and seems to take it for gra i|etl
that the policy is antagonistic to tu ■
aims of the socialist members.
Which no douht in the premises
may he quite correct. But Sweden
is a neutral country and the poss
ibility of the German militarist
element controlling that conference
is too remote for intelligent, cor
sid ration.
it is quite true, and indeed is
1:101c than likely that there have
hoen socialists in the I'niiel States
leading socialists at that. v.h-> were
not at all anything else hut pro
German in their policies, much more
pro-German indeed than socialists.
Just as there have been some who
■were also not by any means slightly
J11 accord with the aims of the En
tente.
Indeed one of the peculiar devel
opments of this war lias boon the
tendency upon the part of many
socialists to forget their socialism
and to remember their nationalism,
and the leading pro-Germanist so
cialists were, as we have said, quite
distinctly more pro-German than
socialists.
It is however a ridiculous thing
to believe for an instant that there
is any possibility of any such pro
Germans who masquerade as social
ists, going to the Stockholm con
ference and returning to spread the
benefit-lent influence of the junker
kultur they might absorb, it is
possible on the other hand that
such a conference would bring
about a better understanding of the
aims of the proletariat in all coun
tries, and thus bring about the poss
ibility of a permanent peace much
(loser than it appears to be at
present.
War is not quite such a blessing I
that we can afford to conclude that
the prospect of a satisfactory peace
is entirely evil.
Moreover the denial of the pass
ports to such socialists apparently
is not qualified in any manner, and
as such will be felt by llie socialists
of all nations as a reflection upon
them, their policies and their aims.
Yet inasmuch as today the social
ists are increasing their power, and
every day that the war lasts is
welding it more and more strongly,
the lack of tact in this policy is ob
vious.
In Russia today the socialists are
growing in strength and the revo
lutionary socialists have it now in
their power to do great good or to
effect considerable harm as far as
the interests of the Entente are
concerned. In Germany too. the de
mocratic element is centered in the
socialists and in Austria-Hungary
the power of the radicals is steadily
Increasing.
While nritish socialists have
advised right along against any
such conference as inadvisable, and
while the Trench majority among
ih ■ socialists has disapproved it,
these disclaimers have been couched!
in tones of apology that this ac
tion was deemed necessary.
The Entente powers carefully re
frained in Europe from dictating
as to what action should be taken i
in the premises, for in Europe the
growing strength of socialism is
clearly recognized. It would be
impossible to ignore its advancing
power. Good policy will not ignore i
It. • I
AT THKIK BEST. 1
It is presumed that a party nomi- t
nation for Governor will manifest 1
at any rate the spirit of such a s
party'. This of course is one of t
those delicate fictions which politt- :
clans love to honor in the breach.11
anil which committeemen delight to
observe when they feel that they
are themselves the party.
At the present time, for this rea
son, it is amusing to observe that
t.-.e party which has adopted as
its own the beautiful slogan ot
Alaska lor Alaskans is now engaged
in trying through its leaders, to
foist the gubernatorial position
upon an excellent gentleman with
excellent outside connections, es
sentially of that particular class of
itinerant jobbite whom the out
raged ones among the unterrified
have been most vociferously and
eloquently berating for four years
past.
Why Governor Strong, an Alaskan
if there ever was one, who has
travelled the length and breadth ot
the country, should be compelled to
give way because of party leaders
to a government official already
laden with office and duties apper
taining thereto, is not quite clear
to the impartial by-stander.
Mr. Higgs, no doubt an excellent
man. came to the country a govern
ment engineer appointed to the po
sition by a republican administra
tion, to attend to the survey of the
Canadian Boundary line and he has
rejoiced in the reception of a gov
ernment oflice since that time, in
asmuch as he is the head of the Al
aska Engineering Commission.
Why there are not good men
enough in Alaska who have lived
and struggled with the development
of the land for this position, those
democrats who have felt their blood
boil in the past at the outrages upon
the slogan, Alaska for Alaskans,
can best explain.
Surely a non-democrat and a po
litical outsider who innocently takes
as sincere a good deal of the flub
dub that is exciting the people
about election time, will now suffer
a sinking of heart.
As for the Industrial Worker—
it is to laugh at these politicians in
very truth.
\ klkksing ix disgiisk.
Those pacificists among the em
ploying classes, they are likely
enough few and far between, who
think that war is an unmixed evil
might he well advised to turn a
weather eye to New Zealand and
realize its wholesome possibilities.
For example: the grocer's assist
ants is a strong organization in
Auckland and has managed despite
wartime privileges, to employers,
to maintain a reasonable schedule
if wages.
Now come the Master Grocers and
petition the government of the Do
minion of New Zealand that on ac
■ount of the war they be allowed
o employ female help at a wage
•ate less than the award of the ar
bitration court, because of the fact
hat the war has decreased the
supply of males.
The request was granted and al
hought the women employees are
vetting almost half as much as the
uen, business in the grocery line in
Auckland is just a little better, tor
he master grocers, than usual while
niemployed assistants bless a
lenign government.
ANTI-DIVKK OKVICEK.
The submarine menace is now
•ailing for tremendous efforts upon
he part of all nations opposing
he Central Powers to cope with it.
t is very real and very present.
The ability of the nations even
ually to discover a way of meeting
he submarine and overcoming it is
vithout doubt latent, if it can only
le found to materialize.
Scientific men now engaged upon
ho problem are likely before very
ong to evolve a weapon which will
atisfactorily meet the demands ot
he situation for there is r.o doubt
hout the tremendous earnestness
f the governments in this propo
sition.
The scientific method is the prac-!
tieal method, and it is loo bad that
during times of peace, the adminis
trations do not reiy in the problems
of government entirely upon expert
assistance in the same way.
The many problems that occur
are investigated hap-hazard fashion
and after investigations produce
elaborate reports, such lie unattend
ed and for a groat part unread.
It takes something to st.r the
people and still more to stir the
governments. That they are ex
cited to radical effort by reason ot
the war and that they allow no slip
shod methods to get by, is entirely
reasonable policy either in peace or
war.
Governments have met and solved
by this scientific method all the pro
blems of a naval or military nature.
No plan has yet been devised which
a counter plan could not be devised
against. The astonishing associa
tion and alliance between science
and the art of war has already been
spoken about. The regrettable lack
of scientific method in the adminis
tration of the countries during
peace lias become a by-word.
No interest however powerful is
allowed to stand in the way of meet
ing any and all questions that arise
during war. Any interest of the
plundcrbund is powerful enough to
side t'ack all questions, cry they
even to Heaven for reform, during
peace.
The submarines have been playing
havoc with shipping. They have
lieen not only menacing the coun
tries which they are operating
against but they have destroyed
many valuable boats and much
valuable property. They have en
dangered profits and they even
threaten the ultimate success of one
side in this great war.
Hence no stone will be left un
turned to meet it and cope with it
as a national and dangerous evil,
and that the submarine menace
will be finally removed hardly ad
mits of doubt because the realh
brainy men of the country, the
really expert men of the nation, the
men who know, are right now en
gaged in solving the problem and
without opposition from but with
the cordial cooperation of govern
ments.
How long would any industrial or
social evil last if the same sane
and practical steps were taken to
remove them from our midst in
peace as well as in war? Not for
long surely.
