War- ren, one. of‘ the nblest contributors to Socialist papers :‘ " “ It seems impossible for the average :American tograsp. the Socialist view- '1 point of‘war and‘pntriotism. A patriot, in the eyes of' the aforesaid average American, is one who fights for his country. A Russian soldier who would refuse to light the Japanese in the in tenet of the Russian-Manchuriansyn- dicate would be a traitor to his country. while, on the other hand,a Russian soldier who would kill a regiment of the little brown men would be lauded use. very pan-ionic fellow. The fact that he has nothing to gain and only his life to lose does not enter-into the calculation at all. [is is supposed to fight when- his superior cflicer tells him to. His superior officer is under the 1lli’auchurion syndicate. So, then, re- duced to a plain statement of' fact, pat- riotism consists in fighting for your master. Again, from the American point of view, a country lad from Mis- souri who boldly shot and killed half- civilized Filipinos is a patriot. Had he refused to do this, he would have been shot as a traitor to his country._ His country was fighting the Filipinos be- cause we had: a bunch of' merchandise we couldn't. sell at home and we wanted the half-naked islanders to buy it.” “ Very recently there was much talk- of‘ war between Norway and Sweden. These two ccuntrieshnve'f‘or years been governed by the same king. But grad- =ually the interests of the capitalists of. the two countries have been growing apart. One group of' capitalists de- manded free trade and the other pro- tection. And then came the separation and the tnlkof' war. But the capital- ists and» the king discovered that a. new I force was to be reckoned withâ€"~it was a strongâ€" group of Siicialistsâ€"â€"â€"tho work.- ingmen of both countries, who-had join- ed hands .in the War of' the, classes. They had shaken hands across the bor- der and discovered the self-same blisters . and the same work-worn clothes, and they said. Our interests are identical, and opposed to the capitalists of' Sweden. and the capitalists of' Norway. mud. so it happened that when the capitalists of' Norway and the capitalists of Sweden fell out, the workingmen refused to fight each other to see which group of cap- italists should win, and. whether» froc- trudc or protection. would prevail. They knew in either case they would be boxed up in the same old treadmill. Their refusal to fightâ€"what did it mean 7 It meant no wan" Who are the true patriots ?' Not. the. Americans, Russians, Japanese and; others, who consent to become “food- f'or powder " in order. that a handful of direction of the government at home, and the government at home is inflic- enced by the traders composing the profit out of the necessaries of life; but the Swedes and Norwegians, who under- stand thc “ true inwardness” of war and refuse to fight. If the common people of' all mitions were as wise as they, there would be no wars, because it is always “ the rich man's war and the poor man's fight "pend if' the- work- ing classes of a- nation Would not fight, we may be sure that the rich ones would not, as they are far too sclicitnus For the welfare of their precious skins. What they have always done, and what they will always do as long as they can, is to sit at home at ease and cheer on the poor fools who« do their (“lighting for them. All honor to; the Swedes and- Norwcgians l‘. May the people of all other nationalities soon become wise encugh to follow their eminently sensâ€" ible example- .‘._ V'erulamr Councit‘.
