SOCIALISM and THE WAR

With the startling suddenness
a. the outbreak OF the European
var those International forces on
which civilization had relied 10

between the nations broke down.
Even The Socialist International
seemed TO disintegrate. and the
socialists OF the various coun-
tries joined with the nOn-social.
lists IL would be a mistake to con
slider this a. a failure OF social

but that war will be stopped only
BY making IL useless.
The Socialist International was

with which society has to reckon
in the economic and the political
Held. and the International. there

be rather an advantage to con
structive Socialism.
II is obvious now that Socialism
does not mean elimination Of prl-
vate property In money or com.
mOdities or communism. but IL
means the abolishment OF capital.
that Is, OF the ability OF money TO
multiply itself without any effort
Of It's owner. Socialism has moth
ing TO do with religion. with ma
tionality or with politics-except
that like prohibition. or woman's
suffrage. IL may be made a poHu-
cal issue, and Is so in the Socialist
parties OF all countries. Also. IL
has nothing directly TO do with
the form OF government. While
we consider democracy as the
highest and final form Of v
ment under Socialism. other peo-
pie may be able TO imagine a So
cialistic monarchy. or even a So
cialistic theocracy-and some Of

Real speed. breaking all previous rec

Tuesday night. when. in a little less
than VI hours. IL put through the
postal appropriation bill. carrying
S3i1 .s4S.S69. with the exception OF
two small items. which went over for
further consideration. The Senate
simply adopted all Of the committee
amendments of the House bill. except
two, one Of which reduced the amount
allowed fos further experimentation
with village delivery service. and the
other affecting the pay OF rural deliv-
cry carriers. There has been general
protest from all over the country
against the biennial promotion
amendment TO the postal appropria-
tons bill. which. II enacted into Law.
viii amend the classification acts Of
p~OstOflce clerks in first and second
class postomces and letter carriers
in the city delivery service and rail
way mail clerks. and will provide
that promotions in these services will
be made biennially instead Of annu-
