If they had taken the advice of Marx
in 1871 and dispensed with the "revo-
lutionary tradition" of the Commune.
They couldn't fight the Germans sue
cessfully, and they didn't gain any
thing by fighting the Versaillese gov
eminent. Neither did the Socialist
International gain by it. The revolu-
tlon of the Russian radicals against
their government during the Japanese
war did not promote the interests of
the Russian labor movement or of
the Russian Socialist party, either.
Neither did the Socialist Information
al gain by 1t. No use celebrating
those things as though they deserved
emulation. The trouble with some
Marxians Is that they reject ultra
radicalism in theory and practice, and
have done so all their lives, but still
nurse the hope that some day in the
near future this same ultraradicalism
and rebel Socialism will play n de-
cisive part in the emancipation of the
workers. | shall return to this point

ways place internationalism under all
circumstances above all national con
sideratlons." The time will never
come when thinking majorities will
submit to such an impracticable i'm
position of abstract principles. Marx

to destroy themselves and the whole

manently. Socialist science cannot
wish to add a suicide principle OF our
own. Just because sometimes we can
not help being set back, and cannot
help supporting a government that
wants to set us back, we have no
cause to wipe ourselves off the map
by our own misconception of "prin-
ciple." 1t would help nobody but the

THE SCANDAL OF THE NAVY
LEAGUE
The Facts in the Case as Tabulated
BY Charles A. Goldman, in
The Fathe rland

The Morgan banking group in Wall
Street wish TO perpetuate the huge
profits they have been making
through their mushroom munitions
plants.
1t is necessary to start patriotic
national defense movement" to edu-
cate the simple American public to
the necessity of spending billions on
war armament.
There is in existence a little known
society, the Navy League. ]. Pier
pont Morgan is its leading member;
his brother-in-law, Herbert L. Satter-
lee, is its counsel, and Col. Robert M.
Thompson, it's founder, is chairman of
the executive committee.
In February, 1915, the magazine,
The Navy, disassociates itself from
the Navy League and disclaims any
connection with it's policy.
On June 6, 1915, Col Thompson an
nounces that he will hold, at the Re
cess Club, a Wall Street gathering
place, a Navy League luncheon and
conference on the national defense"
Col Thompson invites to his lunch
con the members of the Morgan bank
ing group, the munitions makers of
Wall Street.

THE MAIN ISSUE

The main consideration under cir
cumstances is always that we should
be iniuring the national and interna-
tional labor movement far more by
an ultra-radical attitude or by a re.
bellion than by the support of a gov.
eminent whose victory may temper.
arily check some working classes.
That is precisely the bitter fact We
cannot always promote working class
interests first, not even national work
ing class interests. Very often we
must help to promote capitalist de-
velopment first, in order to pave the
way for working class development
later. And we do this, confident that
the setbacks and advances, in the
long average, will balance in favor of
Socialism, because capitalist develop
ment cannot permanently check all la
Dor and Socialist movements.
By the way, even the Strengthening
of an essentially reactionary govern
ment does not necessarily mean a
setback to the labor and Socialist
movement of it's nation. We know
that the growing power of the Prus-
sian and German government with all
its militarsm did not stop the rise of
the German labor unions and Social
| list party. On the other hand, we
also know that rebellions of workers
against their own defeated and weak
ened home governments do not neces-
sarily advance the labor and Socialist
movement. The workers of Paris and
of France would have been better off

NATIONAL PARTIsANsHIP

reject the purely negative attitude as
useless and impractical, that national
partisanship is inevitable. We may
salve our conscience by assuring our
selves that we are acting in the in
terest of the working class, but we
shall nevertheless have to accept
whatever such partisanship implies,
even temporary check to our ma
tional labor and Socialist movement,
or check to our international power
The only consolation we have is the
rather unsatisfactory reflection that
the ultra-radical worship of abstract
principles would hurt us still more.
The records prove irrefutably that
MarX-Engels as well as the leading
thinkers among their direct follow
radical attitude in theory and prac-
tice, although occasionally they per-
mitted themselves to be led astray in.
to some rather impractical radicalism
and although most of them to this
day nurse in their Utmost hearts the
exceptation that very soon the working
class will stand at the Armageddon
of a real old-style revolution. Hence
their hemming and having when ma
tionalism and internationalism clash
Even the older Liebknecht gradu-
ally got over some of his "uncompro-
missing principle" pose. At one time,
driven into a corner in a hot argu-
ment, he even confessed in spite of
his mo Compromise, No Political
Trading" that a deviation from a
principle for the purpose of better
promoting it was not violation of
that principle. Indeed even Lieb-
knecht did not always maintain that
answering opposition to his home
government, which Katusky consid-
ers the natural class-struggle attitude
of the Socialist party in times of
peace. Even in peace we cannot al
ways maintain such an utterly mega
tive position towards the capitalist
government without falling back into
the very ultra-radicalism which all
MarXians have from the start reject
ed as utopian.
