Ding on With the
" Naturalization"

mot only large undertakings like the
railways, shipping and the mines, but many
important processes and enterprises such
as the purchase and distribution of raw
material and of staple articles of food. have
been wholly or in part 'nationalized,' and
the Labor party, far from wishing to relax
this form Of control or to reverse it, wishes
to see it extended and strengthened.
"There are other things that are ripe for
naturalization as we'll as the great indus-
tries and services. Among them we place
the profit-making industrial insurance com.
panies, whose activities so wastefully ana
unnecessarily complicate the work of the
departments which administer the health
insurance act, and the friendly societies.
And we are wholly opposed to the creation
of new interests like the proposed e,ec-
trical trust. That the erection of a score
of gigantic power stations to generate cleo
tricity for industrial and social purpose, IS
a wise and necessary measure we heartily
agree; but it would be disaster if suco
an enterprise were to fall! into private
hands.

The Task of Guarding Peace
l And Freedom

GAS deep calls to deep, the peoples Of the
world summon one another to the task Of
guarding peace and freedom by the estab-
lishment of a society of free nations
purged from the poison Of militarsm, de-
livered from the thraldom of autocracv.
The Labor ideal of freedom will not be
realized by the mere restoration of pre-war
conditions in the matter of freedom of
opinion and of the person, or even BY the
general adoption of free trade.
eve recognize that the logic of militar-
ism is the logic of restriction and regi-
mentation, and our first effort, therefore, is
to abolish militarism. But we proclaim a
positive ideal Of freedom based on the DEM
ocratic control of all the activities of So
ciety. We mean to seek out and DESTROY
the forces that constrain freedom and to
achieve the conditions under which democ-
racy can realize it's own fulfilment through
its own culture and institutions.
Finally, we appreciate the magnitude of
the task before US. It's accomplishment will
call for the exercise Of all the best qualities

of pain: Social justice!
"The fundamental cause Of this war was
that certain youths of the ruling caste of
Prussia, living Spartan lives upon a nomi-
nal salary, driven by poverty, and with no
escape save by marrying the daughters of
rich merchants whom they despised, con-
ceived dream of themselves as pro-consuls,
lolling upon silken touches and drinking
wine from golden cups in Mesopotama and
the Punjab. Because of this our boys have
to be shipped across the water by thou
sands and perhaps by millions, and drowned
in mud and blood in the trenches of Lor-
raine.
$50 come again with my message of So
cha! justice. If you really want to do away
with the horrors of Armageddon you have to
abolish exploitation, you have to drive pow
erty from the earth, you have to change the
ideas and ideals-not merly of German
Junkers, but of American gentlemen, BUSH
ness men, merchants and masters of affairs
You have to do away with the power of any
man, anywhere, to make his comfort and
his glory out of the necessities of others;
you have to discredit, ONCE and for all time.

There is no democracy earth like that

barriers.

"Great as the sacrifice of prejudice and
preconception which any effective rcaliza-
ton of this idea of league of free ma

delegation of sovereignty must be, none
the less are such sacrifices and difficulties
unavoidable. People in France and italy
and Great Britain alike have to subdue
their minds to the realization that some
such league is now a necessity for them If
their peace and national life are to con-
tinue. There is no prospect before them
but either some such league or else great

How Kultur Hopes to
Dominate the Worlds
Press
Saturday Eveming Post

G 4 GREAT newspaper trust is be-
"A ing formed in Germany and
Austria-Hungary to-day by the
war industries, the military leaders and
the Fatherland party" declares Carl Ac1-
crman in "The Saturday Evening Post"
Already important journals have been
purchased in Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden,
Bremen, Leipsic, Dantzic, Essen, Dussel-
dorf, Frankfort, Munich and Vienna.
In addition, he says, the Wolff Bureau,
the only news distributing agency in Ger
many, and the Overseas News Service,
which sends wireless dispatches from
Berlin to the outside world, are controlled
by this triple alliance Of war business,
war makers and war politicians.
And after going over the whole stu
alton in Germany, where a few indie
pendent papers, the Social Democrats
and the leaders Of the Liberal party are
making a determined fight for the free
dom of the press, Mr.. Alderman pro-
ceeds:
"Gcrmany's first move after the war, &C
cording to the plans which Victorious Ber-
lin is making, is to be directed against the
news distributing agencies of England,
France and the United States. German
business men, army officers and statesmen
have always maintained that if the govern
ment had spent billions Of marks on for
eign news propaganda years before the war
the world would not be fighting Germany
to-day. Perhaps they think the world
would have been afraid to fight! Whether
their opinion is sound is not our concern.
The fact is that the enemy believes this,
and the present leaders Of Germany intend
to conquer the world after the war with
news and business.
1--WE may ask how this can be accom-
p!ished, may consider it impossible; but
the Fact remains that the money has been
raised, the foundations have been laid, and
all the Triple Alliance is awaiting is Ger
man victory to end the war so the press
campaign may begin"
Now
at would be impossible, Of course, for
any German organization to go to the
United States any other large country
after the war and purchase sufficient
number OF newspapers to influence public
opinion, and the Triple Alliance does not
intend to do so. 1t has better method,
About two years ago the newspaper ex-
pcrts Of tho German government and the
press representatives Of Krupp and the big
shipping companies began an investigation

the costly and dangerous ornaments which
burdened every nation.
Further, the organized democracy in
sists that it shall be an essential part OF
the treaty of peace that the consenting ma
tions shall agree to establish a super-na-
tional authority or League of Nations,
which every Independent sovereign state in
the world shall be invited to join, for the
purpose Of setting up suitable machinery to
settle international disputes by Cancellation
and judicial arbitration.
eve seek also to establish an intcrna-
tional legislature in which the representa-
tives of every civilized state shall have
seats, for the purpose of bringing forward
legislation and discussing matters in which
all the nations have a common interest.
Another aspect of our foreign policy is the
restoration of communications between the
working class movements in the several
countries and a great development of these
relationships. international working class
action for the purpose of maintaining peace
will be very much more easy after this war.
I'VE have learned our lesson. we have
seen why we failed in the past to control
the sinister forces of reaction and imperial
ism. In the summer Of 1914 democracy was
almost helpless in the weller of murderous
forces that were unloosed on the continent
of Europe. We did what we could to stem
the tide; but our international organization
was too feeble, our sense Of working class
solidarity too weak to save US from disrup-
ton when the storm clouds burst.
"To rebuild the working class interna-
tonal larger lines is an imperative
obligation which we are in no mood to neg
lect or to postpone. Already, in the midst
of this prolonged agony, democratic solidar-
ity has been intensified, and democratic
diplomacy has begun.
