HALL; HAS PERFECT UNDER
STANDING ON PEACE

PARIS, Dec. 16.-President Wilson
motored this morning to Versailles

of the future peace conferences. En-
route his car was showered with

ton. where he was warmly acclaim
ed as a citizen of Paris The city

paying yesterdays call of Clemen-
ceau call. At the latter conference
n most satisfactory understanding
was had on the peace proposals. The
on what developed at premature
meeting
| According to n statement made pub
lie by the president it is hoped that
the peace conference will very soon
get down to real business. 1t is un-
derstood that the American delegates
desire one representative from France
one from Italy and one from Great
Britain. The United States will for
mulate series OF proposals and sub
init them to an open conference. The
full allied delegations will of course,
draft the final treaty. The question
OF voting powers Of respective nations
will be most difficult problem for
the delegates to master.
PARIS. Dec. 16.-President Wilson

clared that America had established
its right to the full fellowship of
those people here and throughout the
world whose reverence was for right

the contrary, the acute situation Gre
ated by war calls for an even more
struggle, and we recommend to the
workers and pledge ourselves to the
following course Of action:

conscription be forced upon the
people, we pledge ourselves to contin-
uous efforts for the repeal of such
laws and to the support of all mass
tion.
"3. Vigorous resistance to all reac-

rights of free speech, assemblage and

tion and limitation of the right to
strike.
"4. Consistent propaganda against
military training and militaristic

Il. We recommend that the con-

against all proposed appropriations or
loans for military, naval and other
war purposes.

These resolutions as adopted were
signed by Kate Richards O'Hare, Vic
| tor L. Berger, Job Hartman, Morris
HilIquist and seven other less known
socialists.
BY the vote as before stated, it will
be seen that only five members or
delegates in the national convention
favored more conservative platform.
This platform has not been repudiated
or rescinded by the socialist party.
We gather from newS@ items that the
state convention of the socialist party
held in Illinois a few days since had
them under consideration, and that it
determined not to, repudiate them and
the convention either directly or indi-
rectly approved or ratified them. So
far as we learn, no other direct action
has been taken by socialist organiza-
them. them indeed, in view of the the general general
attitude OF the socialist party and the
leaders of socialism, we do mot per-
ceive how or why they should be ex-
pected to repudiate the national plat
form of their party on this subject.
There were originally several socialist
parties differing to some extent in
their principles and as to several mat
ters relating to methods, but at the
present time, there is only one social
fst party of moment in this country
and that is the socialist party"
This party is the political organiza-
tion trying to effectuate and put into
operation principles which are
grounded in the socialist philosophy.
It is we'll known that most of the
leading socialist authorities in their
writings oppose wars between ma

though they may believe they are So
eialists; that they rally around the
socialist flag without understanding
the nature of socialism and that
Is in fact philanthroptc humanitarian
radicalism and that they have retard-
ed the development Of socialism, de-
luded and blurred it's principles and
weakened the socialist party.
Leibknecht says we socialists are
one nation to ourselves; one and the
same international nation in all the
lands of the earth" The socialist au-
thorities are in practical unity in
their advocacy of class distinctions.
1t may be said that this is one of the
foundation stones on which their
philosophy is built. Here is a typical
statement:
"On the ground of the class strug-
gle we are invincible; If we leave it,
we are lost, because we are no longer
socialists. The strength and power of
socialism rests in the fact that we are
leading a class struggle"

| threatened, our government calls up
| on US to rally to the, defense of de-
| mocracy and civilization.
| Our entrance into the European
war was instigated by the predatory
capitalists in the United States who
| boast of the enormous profit of seven
| billion dollars from the expectation of
| American food stuffs and other neces-
saries. They are also deeply interest
ed in the continuance of the war and
the success of the allied arms through
their huge loans to the governments
of the allied powers and through their
commercial ties 1t is the same inter-
ests which strive for imperialistic
domination of the Western Hemis-
''The war of the United States
against Germany cannot be justified
even on the plea that it is war in
defense of American rights or Ameri-
can honor Ruthless as the unre-
stricted submarine war policy of the
German government was and is, 1t is
not an invasion of the rights of the
American people as such, but only
of certain groups of American capital
lists to coin cold profits out of the
! blood and suffering of our fellow men
in the warning countries of Europe.
TT is not war against the mill
tarist regime of the Central Powers.
Militarism can never be abolished by
militarism.
TT is cant and hypocrisy to say that
the war is not directed against the
German people, but against the I'm
perial Government of Germany. If we
send an armed force to the battle
fields of Europe, its cannon will NOW
down the masses of the German peo-
pie and not the Imperial German
government.
Our entrance into the European
conflict at this time will serve only
to multiply the horrors of war, to in
crease the toll of death and destruc-
slaughter. It will bring death, suffer
ing and destitution to the people of
the United States, and particularly to
powers of reaction in this country the
pretext for an attempt to throttle our
rights and to crush our democratic in
stitutions, and to fasten upon this
country permanent militarism.
The working class of the United
States has no quarrel with the work
ing class of Germany or of any other
country. The people of the United
people of Germany or of any other
country. The American people did not
want and do not want this war. They
have not been consulted about the
war and have had no part in declaring
war. They 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
Congress, its demagogic agitators, its
subsidized press, and other servtle in
struments OF public expression.
I'VE brand the declaration of war
by our government as a crime against
the people OF the United States and
against the nations of the world,
'Tn all modern history there has
been no war more unjustifiable than
the war in which we are about to
engage.
mo greater dishonor has ever been
forced upon people than that which
the capitalist class is forcing upon
this nation against it's will.

tinuation Of the war against Ger
