That the Socialist Party of Amer
ica intends to campaign for peace is
possibly due to the strong anti-mili
t*rist sentiment and propaganda
that they have sedulously followed
is the past. Rut they might as well
take a lesson from the attitude of
llieir European comrades, and rea
lise the futility of such a campaign
It would be much more logical
for them as socialists not to trouble
■shout the European war, but to pro
mote the real cause of socialism in
the United States which would act
as a preventative of all future wars
without any manner of question.
The commercial antagonisms en
gendered by the constant struggle,
Lahorent in the capitalist system
contain the latent germs of all
wars which are not civil wars, and
it is nonsense to talk of peace pro
paganda when the system is slowly
surely but inevitably developing
rwmed conflicts.
When the corner groceries start
Hacking one another in a simple
community they exemplify a process
which is intensified on a gigantc
international scale in the commerce
«f the world.
It's not to protect the workers
in their occupations that great na
vies are built up or that great ar
mies tread the eartli with shaking
tramp. But it is to uphold the
rights of national commerce na
tional trade, national industries, na
tional finance.
The frictions that were create!
between the United States and the
various belligerents in Europe deve
loped from interference with Amer
ican commerce directly or indirectly.
This cannot be disputed, and it is a
fact that just as long as commer
cial greatness depends as it doe3
iepend upon political dominion,
sooner or later war will he a thing
to reckon with. Moreover, it can
not be disputed that peace under ca
pitalism is merely the hatching out
of actual war. The relations of na
tions are so disposed that commer
cial' rivalry creates a scries of na
tional psychological impulses which
drive in that direction; see the rela
tions of two such nations as Great
Rritain and Germany, hereditary
friends with an historical affinity
that figures large’ throughout mo
dern history. ) Seven
Years War, the eii-gy Frederick
the Great was as popular as that of
King George, and the signs on the
taverns to meet the popular feeling
were re-painted so that this great
est of the Hohenzollerns might
meet the admiring gaze of the Eng
lish people. Prussian victories dur
ing that time set Britain glowing
with the fires of rejoicings and illu
minations; votes in parliament mad*’
honorary officers of his greatest
generals, and this condition was
only an extension of a spirit united
the two peoples ever since the war
of the Spanish Succession. There
was a mutual admiration relation
between the scientists and the lite
rary men of the two nations and one
of greatest of the British publicists,
Thomas Carlyle, extravagantly
praised aud extravagantly copied
everything German.
Germanism was a cult that exist
ed long before Goethe and lasted
much longer than Thomas Carlyle.
When Russian revolutionists blam
ed everything evil in their country
upon Prussianism, and their writ
ings breathed a hate of Germany
as intense and cold as the biting
winds of their rusted steppes,
British statesmen found time to in
quire into the methods of the
junkers, that they could where
possible copy them for the advant
age of the people.
But with the growth of that
great, efficient and cold-blooded Ger
man commercialism, shrewd, logical,
calculating, efficient beyond words,
scientific beyond text books, metho
dical and systematic, the hap-hazard
British methods of Individualistic
achievement encountered something
far different from the philosophy
of a Kant or a Hegel and something
far less attractive than the epics ot
a Goethe or the lyrics of a Heine.
Utterly without sentiment, as all
commercialism basically is, the Ger
man commercialism swept against
British trade supremacy with the
remorseless energy of a rising tide,
and the ruthless sufficiency of
scientific laws practically applied
The Bismarkian idea of German
commercial greatness scented the
necessity of colonies, colonies which
would challenge the British achieve
ments in this direction, and which
would also supply an outlet for the
over-flow energy and vitality of the
people. To Bismark there never
was any doubt of the real oppo
nent which would have to be crush
ed in order that commerce and
trade and industry and finance
might rise upon its ruin3. His
remarks, quoted by his biographers
betokened a new contempt for
things British which helped in no
small measure to strengthen the
confidence of the aggressive com
mercialism of the new empire
British statesmen were laths of
wood painted to look like iron;
British cowardice would one day
astonish the world. These two say
ings were atributed to him and re
main uncontradicted.
Naturally the British commercial
world reflected this rivalry which
despite a lingering of the old school
of mutual admiration between the
two countries finally swept England
by storm.
There was not at any time any
antagonism between British work
ers or German workers; they were
merely the pawns in the game moved
by the master hands. But gradually
the clash of commercial interests
resulted in both sides preparing for
a war such clashes showed to be
j sooner or later inevitable. These
clashes developed certain psycholo
gical impulses which hastened the
day, and when two nations stand to
arms and facing one another watch
ing one another’s every move, what
is inevitable hut war? So we can
safely lay aside any cause for the
war other than the system which
makes nations commercial rivals.
Moreover what is to ho gained by
establishing peace at the present
time? Not one of ehc exciting causes
of war will have been removed
The socialists know' that should
peace be made tomorrow it would
end the war only in a compromise
or under such conditions as to pro
mote at a future date a war of re
venge.
Already capitalism has led man
kind to the parting of the ways.
Either they continue on the road
of capitalism to again and again
indulge in fratricidal conflicts, or
they turn to collectiveism wherein
lies the only reason for peace.
If an untimely ending is brought
to the present conflict by eithei
side’s surrender, nothing will have
been gained and the nations win
still stand awaiting the call to an
other war which will make the pre
sent one a dwarf in comparison.
The socialists .cannot pretend to
be in the dark as to the cause of
these wars. They know that wars
are merely effects; apparently terri
fic effects hut merely resultants o?
the forces of capitalism.
Their energies should be directed
against capitalism then not against
one of its effects which after all
is said and done may be by no
means the worst of them.
A peace propaganda may be good
politics, but it is not good socialism
To socialism this war Is merely the
capitalist system in full, red poi
sonous blossoming. But in the
blooming or In the sere and yellow
leaf It is always the Upas tree, noi
some, deadly and fit but for the
burning.
