dOus influence on our politics and ma
tional life goes without question.
Two years ago l wrote the Capital
from Stockholm relative to the new
viewpoint of the British soldier. That
article included an interview with a
British soldier, and here's another
along the same line:
1--WE soldiers don't believe that the
world will have much use for very rich
men after the war, though there aren't
many professed socialists among us.
We mean, however, to see that we get
our rights, and If the door Is shut in
the soldiers face when he comes home
there will be trouble. We don't be-
lieve in sweated jobs, and we have
learned what labor means at the front
just as 1t has taught us what can and
cannot be done by brains. Our respect
for the real 'sahib' is unchanged. The
boy who goes over with eyes on fire
and a, laugh on his lips, that boy we
would follow to hell. But we don't
want him to grow up into q fat man

and we mean to have it. I tell you
that it is a purpose all the politicians
in the country will not frustrate. We
are fighting not only to make homes
for ourselves, but to make homes
worth having. Mouldy cottages and
ten square feet of cabbage garden will
not do for us. Every one of US must
have comfort and decency and real
living wage. And those who are wound
ed and helpless must have it too.
