Throughout the war the socialist
party followed closely every policy
announced from Berlin. Its peace

with that Of the German govern
mentally directed socialists. Every
outrage by Germany was belittled or
denied. Every charge against the al
lied nations was enlarged upon and
exploited. When the Lusitania was
sunk not a single socialist paper con-
demned the act. The invasion OF
Belgium and the enslavement OF its

though IL is self-evident that the
phrase simply calls for the destruc

substitution of land power as the
ruling force in world politics-with
Germany controlling the land forces
The socialist party went into hys-
terics in its denunciation OF Ire

concerning Bohemia although the
Bohemian socialists are many times
as numerous as Irish in the party

discrimination.
