GRAVE PROBLEMS CALLING
FOR SOLUTION.

Having expressed our editorial
views tissue OF July 29th) on what we
believed to be the proper attitude of
Socialists In case the owners of the
United States should become involved
In war with some foreign nation 1t Is
now in order that we stand ready
either to defend our position or change
our views In the light of further study
and reflection. We did not for mo.
ment suppose that our position would
not be assailed We welcome criti'
cism. None of us know 1t all. To-
gether we may finally arrive at the
real solution OF the grave practical
problem confronting us. At any rate,
honest and fearless discussion of the
great issues we are soon to meet face
to face cannot but be productive of
good results.

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW

Seattle, Wn., Aug. 8, 1915.
Editor, Northwest Worker;
Your remarks on Resisting Inva-
sion" in your issue of July Goth struck
me as made without due considera-
ton of the facts in the case. Like the
optimistic Belgians in July, 1914, you
cry, "The Germans are not going to
invade our country" Further on you
say (supposing an invasion possible)
Would we have to stand up and let
them-the Germans-shoot us DOWN."
Not at ALL Neither the Germans nor
English would shoot down non-com-
Blatant"
How about the two-year-old child
crucified on farmhouse door at
Haecht? the little children shot down
on the village green at Tamines, the
other children bayoneted at Weerde? ?
Surely these must have been non-com-
batants!
| In land not invaded by brutal,
merciless foreign army, it sounds fine
to talk of not under any circumstances
taking up arms in defence of the
country, but when the invader actually
lands upon our shores-when cruel
war really begins-all our fine resolu-
tions are the mere fabric of vision.
l have just heard of a good COM
rade-a native of Belgium-for several
years a resident of Seattle and a red
card Socialist, who now for months
has been in the trenches somewhere
on the allied front. His parents, sis
| tiers and brothers lived in a Belgian
village not far from the German from
tier. 1t may have been Tamines where
the little children were shot, or Trimi-
loo, Westpilaer, or Marchennes where
the ravishing of women and girls was
carried on by the wholesale. Wherever
his native village was located you may
be sure that atrocities were commit
ted there by the German soldiers, and
our good comrade, not being made of
wood, having red blood in his veins,
did what any true man would have
done: He went home to help defend
what? The Belgian government? He
didn't care a continental for the Bel
gian or any other government. He
went to defend the Belgian people in
the name of outraged humanity to
drive the unspeakable assassins be-
yond the Rhine.
Had Kirkpatrick lived in Belgium
the present year he would have modi-
fled the pledge in WAR, What For?"
That grand soul-stirring proclama-
ton would have closed with this brief
note: "The Teutons not being human
are not included in the above pledge"
No, comrade, there can be no cut
and dried rule of action for Socialists
| in war time. Man proposes but war
| disposes.
Fraternally,
H. S. CROSBY.

ERNEST UNTERMANN DOES
NOT AGREE WITH US.

Comrade Ernest Untermann takes
exception to our ultra-radical stand on
the war question. He asserts that our
views are as Utopian as those OF the
pacifists. and supports the stand of
the National Committee. In our next
weeks issue we will publish his argu'
ment in full, together with our own
reply. Comrade Untermann is one of
the best informed writer's in the So
cialist movement. and we always read
with interest and profit anything he
has to say on party tactics.

WORkINGMAN'S PSALM.

The politician is my SHEPPARD; I
shall not want for anything during

saloon for my votes sake. He filleth
my pocket with scab cigars; my cup
of beer runneth over. He inquireth
concerning my family even unto the
fourth generation; yea, though walk
through the mud and rain to vote for
him and shout myself hoarse, when
he is elected-straightwa ne forget

own house he knoweth me not. Surely
the wool has been pulled over my eyes
all the days of my life, and l shall
dwell in the house of a chump for

As matter of fact we all know that

merely to lend a semblance of justifi-
cation for flag-worship, ancestor-wor-
ship, and "the high and lofty prin-
ciples upon which this government
was founded" etc.
But if some of the mentally-enslaved
workers who rise with such reveren-
tial alacrity to the strains of the S.

Why don't some of the good
patriots" who are so eager to defend

injured citizens under it's folds?
Do none of our voluble patriots CD
care whether or not an humble citi-
zen's constitutional rights" are vio-
lated, if only "the flag" gets lip-serv-
ice and outward respect?
Some of these days a body of real
patriots will be organized who will

tional rights with their life's blood, if
need be, even though the enemies of
liberty be clothed in the garb of SOL
diers.

The speakers among the visiting

could not say too much in praise of
the grain crop as it appeared to them
driving through the Nelson and Che

travelled through DC uglas county, a
section that has won reputation as a
grain growing district, but the visitors
declared that the hill country grain
fields of Okanogan county far sur
passed those of Douglas county in the
