THE SOCIAL CONCEPT
AND SOCIAL CONSCIENCE

Comrade w. H. Stackhouse, of Cen
tralia, wants to know what we can
make out of the bourgeois phrases
social concept" and social consci-
ence." He can't see why they should
be employed by Socialists.
No well-grounded Socialist uses
such misleading terms. They go with
"the people," and they go down with
Socialists" who are keen for "our
American traditions" and "the prin-
ciples of our forefathers," etc.
There can be no social conscience, y
or social concept" in a class-divided
society, such as ours. The social
conscience" of ''the better class" does
not hurt them when they rob the work
ers of their products, and their social
concept" sweepingly and graciously
includes wage-slavery and capitalist
class rule, tempered with charity and
shrapnel Such terms are useful to
the ruling class in their work of OBJ
securing the horrors of the ever-pres-
ent class struggle.

MORE EXALTED USES
FOR NATIONAL SPIRIT
Theme of Ex-Mayor Lunn
Predicts New Vision for American
Socialists When Big War
10 Ended

In a special" to The New York
Call, from Boston, ex-Mayor George
r. Lunn, of Schenectady, is quoted as
saying, in an interview, that "the les
son the European war would undoubt-
eddy bring for American Socialists
would be the new and more exalted
uses that were to be developed for the
national spirit, and the more adequate
appreciation Of American tradition by
the Socialists Of America"
He spoke especially of the change
of emphasis that would, in all proba-
bility, characterize Socialist doctrine
in consequence.
The Socialist ex-mayor of Schenec-
tady had been addressing the Boston
School of Social Science on Social
ism and the New Patriotism" Also,
the Rev. Lunn spoke at Harvord uni
versity, before the Socialist club, the
subject of Socialism's stand on mill
tarism was discussed. And at the
Institute of Technology, where thriv
ing chapter is springing into promin-
ence, he gave telling address on the
relation of the technical expert upon
his own experience as mediator in
labor conflicts in the skilled industries
of Schenectady.
No doubt this special" to the Call
was eagerly read by comrade Morris
Hillquit who is reported to have stat
ed that "a man has a nationality be-
fore he has class"
Are we to have, in the near future.
a division of the sheep from the goats
on this promised change of empha-
sis" that will characterize Socialist
doctrine?" If clear-cut division of
the Socialist party shall take place
on the uses" that are ito be develop
ed for the national spirit" and "the
more adequate appreciation of Ameri-
can tradition" the great European
catastrophe will not, after all, have
been wholly in vain. We shall then
learn, at least, how few real, class
conscious, internationalists there are
among "the leaders" of the Socialist
party in this country.
The need for a closer solidarity of
real Reds in this country was never
more apparent than right now, Let
us see to it that the genuine Inter
national does not collapse"

OUR ANSWER TO
"COMRADE" ENGLEDRUM

In answer to "comrade" Engledrum' s
question as to What would the So
cialists (of the United States) do If
our country, their country G.? were
engaged in war with foreign ma
tion?" we call his attention to our
editorial of February 4th, and it's
adoption by the Socialist party of
Michigan in convention assembled;
also it's adoption by our own Local,
Everett No. l.
1t may be, as brother Engledrum
asserts, that "the Teuton race" has
never been conquered; but there is
one thing indisputable, and that is
that every German" wage-slave who
whoops it up for his Teutonic masters,
and kills his brother wage-slave of
any other race" is mentally, if not
racially, conquered" by his own Teu-
tonic bosses. The same holds true,
of course, with reference to patriot"
wage-slaves among the allies. And
we do not except the Belgians,

HOW GERMAN COMRADES
ARE HYPNOTIZED
Letter Which Explains Many
Things

There la much difference of opin-
ion among the more studous and
thoughtful comrades, both In this
country and elsewhere, as to how
much excuse there is for Socialists
numbering one another at the behests
of their capitalist masters -"for the
flag"
1t has been said that the Socialists
of Germany were forced into the fray,
and that the comrades OF Belgium and
France can not be blamed for resist

not attempt to settle this question by
augmentation In these columns. Our
space Is as limited as is the average

Angeles. II is more instructive in It.

ishing, as we see 1t. proof positive of
the utter folly of trying to organize a
real Socialist organization on an OPP
portunistic. vote-catching, number-in-
creasing basis.
The letter following was written by
a Red Card man who is no more of a
Socialist than Is Colonel Roosevelt or
Mr. Henry Ford. And our party is

letter, why comrades Karl Liebknecht

of such patriots within our ranks,

defense of their imaginary fatherland,

WORKING-C GLASS;
PATRIOTISM

| / make no war upon patriotism.
But against the patriotism of capital
ism-the patriotism which makes the
interest of the capitalist class the SUI
preme test of duty and right place
the patriotism of the working class,
the patriotism which judges every
public act by it's effect upon the for
tunes of those who toll. That which
is good for the working class
esteem patriotic, but that party or
movement is the most perfect embodi-
ment of patriotism which most sue
cessfully works for the conquest by
the working class of the control of
the destinies of the land wherein they
labor.
To me, therefore, the Socialist of
another country is fellow patriot, as
the capitalist of my own country is a
natural enemy. I regard each nation
as the possessor of a definite contri-
button to the common stock of civ
ilization, and l regard the capitalist
class of each nation as being the logi-
cal and natural enemy Of the national
culture which constitutes that definite
contribution.
Therefore, the stronger l am in my
affection for national tradition, litera-
ture, language and sympathies. the
more firmly rooted l am in my opposl-
ton to that capitalist class which in
it's soulless lust for power and gold
would braze the nations as in NOR
tar.-James Connolly.

HERE Is THE ISSUE;
WHAT HILLQUIT SAID
(From the New Review
SOME NEW SOCIALIST
pRINCIpI Ec

SOME NEW SOCIALIST"
PRINCIPLES
The representative of the American
Socialist party to the International So
cialist Bureau, Morris Hillauit. has
formulated and published some new
principles that are worthy of atten-
ton:
l. The recent history of Socialist
parties is not to be discussed; Il is
our duty to keep the curtain down on
these chapters. Authority: lecture in
Cooper Union on November 18th re-
ported by the friendly New York Call
as follows
TO call the stand of the German
or any other Socialist cowardly or
unwise," Hillquit said, cor to discuss
what they might have done instead of
what they did do is as silly as to dis
cuss what might have happened if
Napoleon had been born a hunchback.
We are standing In the presence of
history. Such speculations may be
interesting to indulge in, but they are
without basis and lead nowhere"
2. Socialists should be proud of the
fact that they can no longer be called
unpatriotic. Authority: lecture in
Cooper Union on November 23rd. as
follows.
THE German Socialists were desig-
mated by the kaiser himself as Water
landslose Gesellen. And the French
rulers made the same complaint
against the French Socialists. Our
European comrades have at last
shown conclusively that they have
Netherlands"
3. The struggle between nations
has an even more solid foundation
than the struggle between classes,
and the struggle between nations
should and must be given the right of
way. Authority: The first lecture
quoted, as follows:
IF there is anything the war can
teach u.s." the speaker went on. ut
Is that when national interest comes
into conflict with any other, even class
interest, it will be the stronger. Ma
tional feeling stands for existence
primarily, for the chance to earn a
livelihood. 1t stands for everything
we hold dear-homes, language, fam.
lily and friends. The workman has q
country az we'll as a class. Even be.
fore he has class"
The Washington Socialist holds
just the opposite opinion: namely, that
class feeling is essential to the work.
mans progress and safety, to the pre-.
servation of his home, and the chance
to earn a living; and that the work.
man has class and no country. An
Civilized" countries belong to and
are ruled by the ruling class at the
expense of the working class The
workman has his country yet to win.
He can do this only through his class.

COURT OF LAST APPEAL

And did you notice, patient reader
that reference to the court OF last
appeal?" Get this; how laughable II
is; that any editor not under the dom
ination of the national office (holders)
should presume to question the wis
dom of our professional Socialists in
the East, and offer comment or re-
commentator of his own,-get this
"as though THEY (the ambitious
amateurs") were the court of last ap-
peal" 1t is laughable. We "cub re-
porters" of the West should leave it
to the reverends and esquires of the
East-leave it to the National Office
News 90 Service; and ALSO a pro-
posed "boiler-plate" service prepared
by the great journalists" of the get
the-votes variety, under supervision
of the honorable statesman aforemen-
toned. And let US have the honorable
reverend ex-Mayor Lunn on the staff,
SO that we may become imbued with
and Injured to THE new and more ex-
allied uses that are to be developed
for the national spirit, and the more
adequate appreciation of American
tradition by the Socialists of Ameri-

OUR RESOLUTION

We reprint below the resolution Of
fered in these columns on February 4.
and which was adopted by the Social
lists of Michigan February 20. at their
state convention, met in Grand
Rapids:
In case of war between the capital
lists Of the United States and the
capitalists Of some other profit-mon-
gering nation, we, the Socialists Of the
United States, do hereby agree: that
we shall allow the said capitalists to
patriotiealIy do all the fighting and
dying for THEIR country; and we do
hereby offer this pledge to them, and
to ane another, as Socialists, that we
will under no circumstances take up
arms in defense of THEIR country,
nor will we bear arms in an aggres.
sive move on the country Of any Of
their fellow capitalists, Of Europe or
elsewhere, leaving the defense Of all
privateIy-owned land, buildings and
machinery to their patriotic owners,
who have "a legal right to do what
they please with their own property"
Furthermore. be it resolved, that in
case we, the Socialists, are forced to
take up arms, WE HEREBY AGREE
TO USE SAID ARMS WHOLLY IN
SELF-DEFENSE, CONSIDERING AS
OUR ENEMIES ONLY THOSE WHO
ROB US OF THE PRODUCTS OF
OUR TOLL, OR WHO ATTACK US
PERSONALLY TO DO US BODILY
HARM OR TO DEPRIVE US OF
LIBERTY.

The American working-class are
treated with more contempt, brutality
and cold-blooded heartlessness than is
any other wage-slave element in the
world, when the boundless natural re-
sources of the United States and the
colossal national wealth are consid-
cred And they gratefully and patrio-
ticaly stand for it!

tions in the shade."-Sheron.
Now, brother Sheron, we unadver'
tised editors who have not been ap'
proved and labeled by the leaders
East really do not wish to cast any
umbrage on the National Socialist
nor have the Appeal put in the sha'
dow of The Washington Socialist. we
were simply naively, cubly, ignorant
of the fact that the great journal
lists" of these publications were the
"court of last appeal on party tactics
and Socialist principles. Now that
Won have shown us our place in the
movement, we will humbly limit our
editorial pages of The Washington SO
cialist to cubly writing up society
news" "local stuff" censored boiler
plate, etc. AS you say, it is Laugh
able" to see how local writer's at
tack national questions through the
columns of their local weekly as
though they were the court of last
appeal," when the American Socialist
and the Appeal constitute the said
court.

If the Reds of Michigan preferred
to accept the proposal of The Wash

instead of the Bull Moose resolution
of the national office, or the peace
plans" Of the great journalists" Of
