Upton Sinclair
Latest to Quit
Socialist arty
Toins Russell and Stokes in Con-
demnation Of Policy on
the War

Upton Sinclair has followed Charles
Edward Russell, J. G. Phelps Stokes
and others out CT the Socialist party.
The reason that he gives for quitting
the body is essentially that offered by
the other seceders-the organizations
policy on the war.
Mr.. Sinclsir's letter of resignation
was sent to the Socialist local at Pasa-
dena, Cal, yesterday. In it he voices
the belief that the war is necessary
for the democratization of the world.
He says that he has made a careful
study OF conditions in Germany and
has reached the belief that military
defeat is essential for the success OF
democracy in Germany.
81 say" he writes, that if Germany
be allowed to win this war and by her
ruling caste it is understood that TO
win means TO escape from their pre-
dicament with their hold upos Ger
many, Austria. Bulgaria and Turkey
unbroken--then we in America Will
have to drop every other activity and
devote the next twenty or thirty years
TO preparing for a last ditch defence of
the democratic principle.
"War Must be Fought
81 say that this war must be tought
Until there has been thorough ana
complete characterization of the gov
ernments of Germany and Austria; and
say that any agitation for peace which
does not include this demand rs,
whether It realizes it or not, pro-
German agitation. The argument that
we have no right TO say under what in
stitution the German people shall live
seems to me without force.
"The Germans did not scruple to
make war upon the French and to set
up a republic in that country. They
did this because they believed that
republic would be less formidable from
a military standpoint; and it is now on
the cards that the world shall do the
same thing for the Germans, and to the
same purpose.
"For these reasons. comrades. can
not follow you in your declaration that
this is the most unjustifable war in
history, OF III NOuI VI ihhsN oP-
position to the draft. But | would not
have you think that | have gone over
bag and baggage to the capitalist sys-
tenn. | believe that there is a work Of
enormous Importance to be done by the
forces Of radicalism in the present
crisis.
Must Know Peace Terms
eve have to compel clear state
ment of peace terms by the Allies, and
TO see that those terms contain no
trace of the imperalst programmes
of the aristocracies Of England. Italy
and France. We have to fight the ef-
forts of our own exploiters to saddle
the costs of the war upon the working
classes of the next generation by means
of an enormous bond issue. We have
10 keep up the fight for decent terms
for labor. In this and thousand other
matters we are needed and we are
rendering ourselves impotent, by TAX
ing the Anarchist attitude that all
governments are equally bad. and must
be opposed without discrimination"
The central committee of the Social
ist party yesterday announced the req
ignation of several other prominent
members of the faith who have been
unable TO stand the organizations war
policy. Among these are Professor
Montevideo, Rufus Trimble, John NJ.
Kenaday and W. Wickingham.
