THE STOCKHOLM CONFERENCE

Most of us during our adult years have been so far
removed from wars and the probability of them that ii
is difficult for US to- realize what a state Of war means
IN the relations of the government toward its citizens,
we are constantly being reminded that things are not
as they were, and that We must adjuse ourselves to new
conditions.
stockholm is to have a conference Of socialists for
the discussion. among other things, of prospects Of peace
and the terms on which peace may possibly be obtained.
Ordinarily any American citizen would have been free to
attend such a conference. He would have needed no per-
mission from his government. The government would
no. nave concerned itself in the matter. It's members
might have approved ortdisapproved Of the conference
and its purposes, but they would have treated it as a
gathering of individuals with whose affairs it wa. not
their province to interfere.
War has changed things. The American government
Viii issue no passports to Americans to participate in
that conference, and it calls the attention of all persons
to the penalties provided for those who participate in
such gatherings contrary to the wish of the government.
The stockholm gathering is believed by our govern
introduce an element Of discord into the councils of the
nations under the guise of peace proposals
coming from the socialist groups in all countries. The
Cnited States is not now looking for peace or peace dis
cussions. Still less Is it disposed to look with favor on
the spreading of what is really a German propaganda
through the medium, Of what is ostensibly an independent
political movement. If the suspicious OF our govern
ment are well founded this will not be the first time that
socialism has menaced human progress.
