Socialism and Patriotism

Those who fear the growth of socialism during
the war might take tip from the American
Federation of Labor For years the socialists
In the organized labor movement have been try
ing to capture the federation
At the recent meeting in Buffalo members OF
The Federation didn't divide into democrats,
republicans and socialists; they divided on tho
lines of loyalty and pro-Ger1nan socialism. And
pro-German socialism didn't have look-in.
The socialist vote will grow during the war.
That is to be expected, for the pro-German ele
ment Of the American socialist party captured
the st. Louis convention and inyeighed against
the war Under the leadership Of Hillquit, Ber-
ger and Germer the majority took a stand that
helps kaiserism, and drove from the party such
men as Russell, Spargo, Stokes, Sinclair and
other pro-American socialists.
Now the most widely read socialist organ
Appeal to Reason, has come out strongly for
Wilson's war policy as the policy which will
bring the greatest amount of good in the long
run to the greatest number Of people.
Quite naturally the pro-Prussian pacifists, and
the disoyal element among so-called German
Americans will vote with the party that lends
the most aid and comfort to the enemy, and that
will swell the socialist vote. But il the loyal,
pro-American vote i'm other elections during the
war has sense enough to vote as Americans
rather than as narrow partisans, the kaiser's
sympathizers in this country will be licked to a
FRAGILE always.
III ever there was time when real Americans
should stand together industrially financially,
commercially and POLITICALLY, that time Is
NOW. The people can well afford to lay aside
partisanship and stand by every man who stands
by the president and the flag.

There is one band Of men in Tacoma that
usually can be seen well in the lead in the dash
to the front when there is something to be done
and done quickly, for the community or for the
nation.
The Rotarians are strong for action Sitting
on the sidelines doesn't make hit with them.
They're usually pushing ahead for the front
line.
is there some one in needi is there wrong to
be remedied? Does the city need some team
work to put good thing thruY The Rotary club
Is on the spot.
Halifax is in distress. No sooner is the appeal
for aid heard than the Rotarians are on the job,
opening the doors Of their headquarters to
handle Tacomas subscriptions Of money and
clothing.
OF course the Rotarians, like most other human
beings we know, are fond Of the praise and glory
and appreciation that comes with good deeds.
But they don't let this stand in the way of doing
the deeds first and letting the praise come after
ward. Sometimes, too, they delight in spread
ing their achievements on expensive parchment.
: But anyway, Rotary action does speak louder
than words. You'll have to hand it to that bunch.

When we read about the drastic proceedings
of the governments Of Great Britain, Canada,
Australia, France and Italy, we must admit that,
thus far, we have only been playing at economy
and conservation. We have saved some fuel and
eaten little less of sugar and bacon and more
Of corn meal. But most Of us are still practi-
cally on basis of pleasure and business as usual.
1t is going to be long war. Russia testifies
to this. The stalemates ON nearly all the battle
fronts testify to it. Germany has finally got to
be licked in Germany.
Thus far, our government has, largely, merely
asked. 1t will have to compel and commander.
, If the above assertions true, the wisc
manufacturer who is geared up to produce only
non-essentials will consider converting his plant
to more essential use and the wise storekeeper
will be thinking strongly Of stocks more nearly
confincd to the essentials.
There will always be business as usual, but
when our people confront the necessity now fac
ing foreign peoples, it will be different bust
ness.
