Editor Palladium:

Editor Palladium:
1t seems to me the point in the
American Friends is clearly made?
That an armed nation is a dare to
other nations? .
We certainly could not think our
neighbor our friend who necessarily
watched US across the yard fence with
a gun in his hand, but II the American
Friend stands for the present eco
nomics and Industrial system, it GER
tainly stands for q system .that wars
on its own hearthstone"
The seeds of war spring from the
very base of any economic structure
that presupposes the exploiter and the
exploited.
Under the present system there is
nothing to curb the greed OF the en-
ployers. The unemployed we have
with us always. willing to work for
any wage rather than beg steal or
starve. The employers thereby have
it in their power to reduce the wage
to a mere substance fund, and the
resistless incentive Of their avarice to
do SO. And should the working class
tamely consent to the employers work
ing their wills, reduction would follow
reduction of wages until starvation
overlook them all.
Will some sanity soul who exhorts
us "to love our neighbor as ourselves"
kindly tell us how 1t is possible to
have industrial peace under such a
system? F.:
And just as the economic structure
Of capitalist society engenders class
hatred and industrial wars, it likewise
destroys the amity of nations. Il
In all modern nations economic evo-
luton has placed the dominating
wealth in the hands Of few noneyed
lords. And as. Hamilton bluntly put
it. THAT power which holds the
purse strings absolutely must rule
And that power in this country now
hopes, by taking advantage of the war
situation, to make itself the economic
master. of the world. The ruling class
to do this must use the government
to get foreign markets and hold them,
control arteries of. commerce, protect
their foreign investments, and act as
their collecting attorney. They there
fore must have large navy. And to
maintain the present system, there Is
nothing in store for the people but a
deeper and more hopeless poverty.
They must have large army to crush
the exasperated people should they
rebel. Hence, their answer to peace
advocates in this. country, will be as
it has been in other hands, "militar-
ISM" Under the guise of "prepara-
lions for Defense" they are now set
ting the stage for another bloody
tragedy when the European cataclysm
shall end. And in this, perhaps the
darkest hour in all the blood begrimed
history Of the human race, may we
not hope the people 1aay J4SS6sthe
necessity of bringing speedy end.
a system that can give them only
abysmal poverty, war and death?
