A Confession

am a Socialist. and OF course an
internationalist but I have mscon-
ceived in the past both my Socialism
and my internationalism. as tens Of
thousands OF Socialists in this country
are doing today.
Socialism recognizes democratic rule
and it recognizes, by enunciating the
principles OF interuationalism, the ex-
istence. and the need for the existence
OF nationalism yet I have been taught
in the Socialist movement, as I suppose
many Of you have been, that interna-
tonalism repudiates the national idea
have come to recognize this as an
absolutely fictitious doctrine, and one
that the Socialist movement, II IL would
be true TO it's own principles, must at
once discard.
It was my very internationalsm that
made a nationalist of me. When Presi-
dent Wilson uttered the great watchword
OF the struggle-the word that sent a
thrill through the very heart of every
democratic nation in the world. be-
came an American.
No narrow nationaliSm could have
moved me one inch from my old posi-
ton. 1t was only when our President,
and the American people behind. stood
where the Socialist party OF this country
should have stood that ] became an
