Censure for O'Corman
Urged by Assemblyman

Albany. March 8.-A resolution cen
surfing the members Of the United
States Senate who prevented the vote
on President Wilson's armed neutrality
measure, and particularly criticising
Senator James A. O'Gorman, of New
York. has been prepared by Assembly
man Perry ". Armstrong, Democrat
from Senator O'Gorman's own district.
Mr.. Armstrong consulted various
legislative leaders to-day concerning
the advisability Of offering it in the

Eugene V. Debs was grievously mis-
taken if he imagined that he was volc-
ing the opinion Of all the leaders OF
the Socialist party when he asserted
in his Cooper Union address Wednes-
day night that labor should meet
declaration Of war by the United
States by calling a general strike.
Charles Edward Russell. Meyer Lon
don, William English Walling and a
half dozen labor leaders yesterday con-
demned Mr.. Debs's utterance, and eX-
pressed unwavcring loyalty 70 the ma
tion during the present crisis.
Mr.. Waling accused Morris Hillqut
and Victor Berger. who, with Mr. Deps'
practically control the Socialist party
in the United States, with being hand
i'm glove with German Socialists and
with endeavoring TO carry out in the
United States the dictates of Berlin.
In a telegram from Washington MI
Russell said:
"A general strike in this country
against the war that Germany has
forced upon it would be one OF the
most absurd and preposterous things
ever known among men. The idea OF
general strike has been urged here
tofore as protest against govern
mcnts that drive their workers into
wars in which the workers have no in
terest. This country isn't driving any
body TO war; it is being driven, and
the only possible choice it has IS TO
surrender its sovereign existence or
fight.
Sees Menace 10 Democracy
"But besides all this, which ought 70
bo enough for any American by what
soever means he may earn his bread,
there is something else of nature 70
appeal particularly 10 every worker
that will stop TO think about 1t. The
war between the United States and
Germany is not a quarrel about the
sinking OF ships. The ship sinking IL
only an incident.
The real basis of the struggle Is a
contest between two tremendous ideas,
and there is nothing else in which
workingmen can have so profound con-
Germ. II Germany wins, then the Ger
man ideas becomes triumphant and
dominant around the globe democracy
is overwhelmed everywhere and set
back for centuries; the principle Of ar
bitration among nations receives us
death blow; justice and liberty become
the worlds memories; nothing is lett
for a standard Of actions and morals
but the creed OF sheer brute strength;
the stronger arm becomes the only Cos
pei and the bigger battalion the only
faith.
"In other words. everything the labor
movement has aimed at and striyen for
goes down in one huge cataclysm. The
suggestion that working men should
strike 20 bring that disaster upon
themselves and upon all the world OF
progress can be entertained only by
one who has no knowledge Of the resl
nature Of the issues involved IN THIS
war or has never thought about IT.
at is a terrible error 70 think mat
only the wealthy have anything at
stake IN this war. We all have some
thing far dearer 10 us than all the
money in the land, millions Of times
dearer. and that is the survival OF the
democratic principle in this country
and on this earth"
Meyer London at his home last night
said:
"Whilo We are sane let US talk sense.
