According to report in the Tripp
Ledger, a socialist speaker gave an
address in German in that town last
week. In his address he said there
would always be the rich and the poor !;
the oppressor and the oppressed; the
rulers and the ruled; and that the
United States was in this war on the
side of the allies for the simple reason
that the allies were the moneyed pow
ers and that this government simply
followed its money. He also advo-
Gated referring the draft law to pop
ular vote. Such talk reflects either
poor information or strong pro- German
prejudice. The statement that there
will always be eoppressors and oppres-
sed; rulers and ruled, is not true in
America today, for the ruled are
themselves the rulers, and the oo-
pressed would in that case be the OPP
pressors. The speaker was evidently
talking from his knowledge Of Ger
many and shows little knowledge Of
America. The, statement that this
country followed the moneyed powers
in entering the war is silly, and is
made simply to arouse prejudice. The
moneyed powers had fully double the
opportunities to profit ~ the war be-
fore this country declared war than
they have now. The manufacturers
and spectators in war material got
exorbitant prices when selling to
European belligerents. while today
they are selling to this government at
prices dictated by the government, in.
some instances at half the price they
formerly got. In regard to referring
the draft law to popular vote, the
question has been settled and is not
now open for debate. Anyone now
advocating such . thing 10 simply try
ing to stir up rebellion and should be
silenced.
The atrocities that this country has
suffered at the hands Of Germany, ito
say nothing Of her willful trampling
upon the rights Of smaller nsutrals,
furnish all the excuse needed to jus
tify our acts ia defending ourselves
md the common rights of humanity.
