entered as second class matter March 1, 1911, ai the post office at
Nome, AlasKa, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
Nome, Alaska, December I.”. 191.A,
Lane’s peace suggestions may be
■valuable, but the methods suggested j
by him whereby peace after war can
be maintained, are not. They are
completely impossible.
The weapon to oe used is the com
mercial boycott. That’s a weapon
which is of exceedingly doubtful
use.
Suppose Great Britain refused to
abide by the decisions of an arbitra
tion court and thereupon the na
tions with a view of compelling her
to do so instituted a boycott upon
that countrv what would happen?
It would merely result in the
British dependencies replying, with
Great Britain, in kind. American
trade might be denied Great Britain
but so also would Great Britain,
Canada. Australia, India. Africa,
Egypt and a multitude of other
places, comprising no mean section
of the world be denied the United
States or the other powers. And
Great Britain would rather he the
gainer. Canada would keep up the
supply of wheat; India and Egypt
would supply raw materials and
consume manufactured goods, white
Australia and Africa would absoru
manufactures and manufacture
goods, and it would simply result in
the exclusion of other powers from
highly profitable markets.
It is very evident that the boy
cott would be as inefficient in inter
national affairs as it has proved
inadequate in industrial affairs, and
that the Powers would realize that
-,iven the capitalist system, there
can lie but one arbiter and that is
force.
Capitalism predicates war. It is
war. Capitalism during peace and
activity and industrial development
is merely the budding, of which war
is the blooming. War is not a cata
clysmic condition, but the gradual
unfolding of unnatural conditions,
natural only because of an unnatur
al system of society.
All this talk about no more wars
after this one is all moonshine
fust as long as one man makes pro
fit from another, as long as ono man
rules another, as long as one turn
controls another, as long as or.e
man or set of men depend upon an
other for their existence, as long s
such ruling, as lor~ - >• • h c ntro:.
as long as such - 'suits,
in gain for a master cams, so long
will there be wars.
They cannot bo prevented. The
most peaceful of all systems that
have ever yet prevailed is the ca
pitalist system, and yet under it
war is inevitable. Capitalism de
mands peaceful conditions for its
successful operations; but those suc
cessful operations lead to a direct
antagonism of other operations, and
that antagonism slowly, surely ami
inevitably resuits in war.
They realize this on all sides.
The more important minds in the
United States associated with indus
trial activities take no stock In
ocaoe suggestions such as that issued
by Lane. They know securely that
it is only a matter of time until
the economic interests of citizens of
the United States will demand such
protection as can be assured by an
effective fighting force.
Only ono need consider the Mex
ican situation. That, almost a
dozen times dragged in the United
States, because United States capi
tal had enormous interests therein.
And it is now quite clear that only
because such an intervention woul-1
have jeopardized larger and more
important interests throughout the
rest of America, it was postponed
.and resisted.
But it is completely impossible
for any sane man to look ahead, and
consider the probable development
of the United States’ privately
owned industries, with the ever in
creasing demands for markets, ana
the ever intensifying struggle with
industries in rival countries for
those markets, without coming to
the conclusion that ultimately the
various interests will clash.
There never yet was a power
which would not fight another, pro
■. ided the gains were commensurate
with the struggle, and the pow 1
embarking on a war would enjoy
greater profits as a result of war.
than from a condition wherein
peace prevailed.
And the psychology of national
preparedness, now an accepted fea
ture of the national administration,
involves the development of inter
national Fear, a certain source ot
war.
The man who places his confid
ence in arms develops within him
sef a natural emotion that he may
be excelled by the other fellow In
the precision, scientific advantage,
and efficiency of his arms. The na
tion exhibits this emotion in an in
tensified and extended form. In
Europe beyond any manner of doubt
Fear developed among the nations
over this preparedness that it be
came a bogie. Like the old Man
from the Sea it clutched the national
shoulders and burdened the body
politic with its dreadful incubus
luternatioan i rivalry in armament
was merely the manifestation of the
existence of this fear. It grew and
grew until the nervous condition of
Europe became such a tremulous
affair, that only war could be ex
pected to dissipate the impossibly
condition.
When capitalism to protect its
hoard or its aggressive domination
of world markets, sets out to arm
itself, that setting out marks the
existence of a national fear. It in
volves a national dread of the rival
commercial nations. It judges by
its own rapacity. Nations are like
men in that respect. We judge
others from our own feelings anti
credit others with vices that exist
within ourselves. It is true that as
live we judge our neighbor. It is
true nationally, it is true individ
ually.
And once we harbor this dread
of a rival's aggressiveness, we never
let go. It increases day by day and
year by year. It is a real obsession.
But it has to he admitted that it
is not an idle obsession but one
feunded upon fact.
Capitalism is the same disordered |
rendition tluoughout the war'd.
is the real anarchy. It is tlm torch
bearer of destruction. It is the in
cendiary. It is the homicide. It Is
the suicide, its progress is red in
peace and in war, for it is both
murderous peace and murderous
war. Mammon and Mars are strictly
Allies'. They are the dual deities
of capitalist existence.
Concretely society today is built
up of two classes everywhere. Thosu
who own and control and those who
do net own and are subject. This
condition varies in degree hut not in
kind. It is universal that some will
profit from the toil of others ami
that those who have not any means
must toil for those others. Within
such a condition there is an antagon
ism that cannot lie concealed from
any one investigating it. Some 01
those who control others will deny
that they do so and many
who are controlled will deny
that they are. Because of the latent
opposition to control in every per
son's nature, to prolong that control
an educational perversion is estab
lished preaching freedom where is
industrial subjection.
Widening out from this condition,
where men toil for other and fewer
men, and where in so many w>rls
this means that some men exist for
the service of others, this antagon
ism spreads to other nations where
rivalry in control is threatened
from the profit system. That is to
say, the profiteers of one section ot
the earth find their gain in another
section threatened by the aggres
siveness of rival profiteers in other
lands, and they use the subject class
of their own nation to overcome the
aggressive designs of their rivals
who in turn do exactly the same
thing with their employed class.
Hence war under capitalism is ine
vitable. \
