GET THE GERMANS INTO THE
UNION

TT WAS natural that labor ia England
ind America should Tor a time have
hung i'll the balance before giving iuIl us-
sent to Il var To- Il finish. This hcsita-
tion was caused by jiugOism and imperial
istic tendencies among certain public men
who were no more the friends of labor in
war than they had been in peace. \ dc
ciSiyc development has taken place in
the last few day. Arthur Henderson in
England and Samuel Gompers in Americt.
have expressed the sentiments Of the
great organizations they represent. Rank
and nlc are as firm for holding on to the
end as are their leaders, who, on both
sides Of the ocean, quote President VII
sons liberal war platform and give tho
aim Of democratiAinS Germany prece-
dence over every other national or iutcr-
national purpose. Both Henderson and
Gompcrs demand a. strong political
offensive against Germany
No stronger political offensive against
Germany could have bc"u made than
just this solidarity of labor opinion the
echo Of which viii bc heard across -,
Rhine. Every attempt must be made to
inform the Grruu, Industrial population
that it Is Unl, by getting into tho union
of selr,gul criiug peoples that they can re
gain the frIcndship Of men whose votes
govern nations.
This movement is ~ different from the
Stockholm Socialistic se;tncc as day is

tcrest Of the German uutocrats. This is
Il challenge in the interest Of the German
workers and of all workers.
