Enemies from Within
The Socialist Convention Resolutions
Called Treason to the Nation

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: On April Congress declared that a
state Of war existed between this country
and Germany. On April 13, in St. Louis. at
the emergency convention Of the Socialist
party, resolution was adopted which. in my
opinion. and even in the opinion of some of
the leading Socialists Of this country, is
clearly trcasonsble.
After first proclaiming cts unalterable op-
position 10 the war Just declared by the
United States" they "call upon the workers
OF all countries 10 refuse support TO their
governments in time OF war and "partcu-
larry warn the workers against the snare and
deluson OF so-caled defensive warfare"
Then the resolution goes on to hurl TRADE
Of abuse at the Administration. It. says, we
have been plunged into this war by the
trickery and treachery Of the ruling class Of
the country through its representatives in the
national Administration and national Con
gress, its demagogic agtators. its subsidized
press and other servile instruments OF public
expression. We recommend that the conven-
ton instruct our elected representatives in
Congress in tho state legislatures and in local
bodies 10 vote against all proposed appro-
priations or loans for military. naval and
other war purposes.
we recommend 10 the workers and pledge
ourselves TO tho following course of action:
/. Continuous. active and public opposition
10 the war. through demonstrations. mass
petitions and all other means within our
power"
In view Of the many arrests that are
being made for anti-conscription agitation.
the following statement might be Of interest
10 the authorities: I'VE pledge ourselves to
~ unyielding opposition TO all proposed
legislation for military or industrial CON
scrption. Should such conscripton be forced
upon the people. we pledge ourselves to con-
tinuous efforts for the repeal of such laws,
and TO the support OF all mass movements in
opposition 10 conscription."
Under this heading of "all mass movements
in opposition 10 conscription" would come
draft riots, German plots TO frustrste con-
scription and secret evasion Of the conscrip-
tion law
All their plans. If carried out. will not only
greatly injure this country, but will help
along the cause of Germany. the birthplace
OF socialism Germany. where one-third OF
the men in the army arc Socialists. 1t is
singular that while the Socialists of Ger
many are voting IN favor of revenue bills
and appropriations TO carry on the war, the
New-York tribune., 1917-06-08

sides drawing from honorably discharged
soldiers, this state undoubtedly will be
able to recruit many good policemen from
among the members of the former aque-
cuct polce-a body of splendid discipline
and efficiency.
In force so small, with jurisdiction go
large and duties so important, every pri-
Vate and officer must be sort of super
policeman in energy and ability, in cour-
age and honor. That is approximately
what they have been in the remarkably
efficient force in Pennsylvania. There IS
much reason for hope that this state may
have as good body of protectors IN the
fact that Major Chandler is following
closely the methods used by Major Groome
in choosing his men, and is determined to
have none but the best.
New-York tribune., 1917-06-08
Harassing Submarine Bases

The recent series of combined operations
against the port of Zeebrugge and other
fortified places on the Belgian coast seems
to have been attended with considerable
success. The necessity Of attacking these
important bases-of annihilating them, II
possible, but at least harassng them con-
stantly-has long been recognized, though
not until lately have they been persistent
" and regularly raided from the air
and sea.
The first great attack on Zeebrugge was
undertaken in the spring of 1915, and there
have been many desultory bombardments
since then. There is reason to believe that
they were all more or less successful, yet
the intervals between them were so long
that nothing approXimating the destruc-
ton of the harbor achieved. The
Germans have made light of the latest at
tacks. but there is reason to believe that
considerable destruction has been wrought
at relatively small cost.
The recent activity of the Germans in
the Narrows, their repeated raids with de-
stroyers and aircraft, has undoubtedly
suggested the adoption of that more ag-
gressive and persistent series of retalia-
tory operations which has been pursued
since the middle of last month We shall
probably hear Of further attacks for some
time to come. Zeebrugge is hard to deal
with, not only because of the natural diff
culties of the coast, but because of the
formidable long range guns which the
Germans have mounted there. Yet as one
of the most valuable Of the bases for sub
marines and destroyers it is worth attack
ing constantly in the hope that by degrees
il may be rendered untenable.
New-York tribune., 1917-06-08
More Americans in Opera

The announcement that Nine. Olive
Fremstad has again been engaged to sing
at the Metropolitan Opera House next sea-
son should hearten opera lovers here, not
alone because of the fine attainments Of
this gracious artist, but because 1t tends
to bear out the intimations that Ameri-
cans are to have an increasingly important
share in the events at the opera house.
Whether this departure is matter OF
choice or necessity on the part Of the direc-
torate, it ought to prove highly popular
policy, and there is no particular reason
why it need operate to lower the artistic
standards of the institution. The last few
years have seen foreign singers at the
Metropolitan whose equals it would not
have been difficult to find among the many
Americans singing in small companies
abroad or in the numerous touring organ
izations in this country, the West Indies
and South America.
America has no desire to boycott for
eign artists. not even desire to retaliate
for the German embargo on singers, as
sumng that it will work-as it probably
won't. But it would be a healthy, whole
some procedure to encourage native talen,
by recognizing and rewarding the Ameri-
can artist wherever ability warrants It.
| In no European country is a foreign labeI
considered a sign of particular merit
I Their own artists come first, and properly
so. Opera is growing in popularity here
as the increasing number of operate or
ganizations worthy of consideration testi-
fes. There should be ample opportunity
in this field for all American singers who
can meet the requirements of the operate
stage; there should be free entry for them
not grudging passage, even into the holy
Of holies, the Metropolitan, if opera is &c
continue TO make progress with the Ameri
can people. And particularly there should
be encouragement and advancement fol
American singers if opera in the vernacu
lar, still only an experiment, is ever &c
take an honored and honorable place in
the repertory of our opera houses.
