eral utterances. Recently the de-
mand for revision became manda-
tory on the National Executive

ecutive Committee was equivocal. 1t

Socialist Editor
Would Support War

A. w. Kicker, publisher of "Pear-
sons Magazine" and a leader in
this demand, says that President
Wilson's official attitude has made
Socialist opposition ridiculous,
though he insists that there were
just grounds for suspicion of Amer
lean motives when we entered the
war. He says:
"The reverses of the Allies and
the sufferings of the Allied peo-
pies have made it necessary for
the Allied governments to change
the whole purpose and character
of the war.
"The Brest-Litovsk treaty, the
shameful rape of Russia by the
German military power and the
German invasion of Finland con-
stitute offenses against liberty and
democracy which no Socialist may
approve or condone.
"There are perhaps one hun
dred thousand Socialists in the
American army and many more
thousands will be called. Ameri-
can Socialists fighting in France
with their comrades in America
seeking to in any way hamper the
conduct Of the war constitute
condition which is ridiculous if
not lamentable.
"The tide is setting strongly in
favor Of a revision of our posi-
tion, one that will unite US in pol
icy and spirit with the Labor
party of England and the Social
ist parties in France, Italy and
Belgium; one also that will en-
able US to lend encouragement and
support to democratic Russia"
Mr.. Kicker asserts, however, that
the Socialists never took the st
Louis resolution as seriously as tht
government authorities took it. Tt
the Socialists the document was 6

language. There was no intention tx
obstruct the actual processes of tht
war or to hinder the draft once i,
had become law. This agrees pretty

Of reconstruction--in fact, the
National Executive Committee is

ary, but it does not purport TO be
complete. The new statement
should be framed by larger and
more representative body, such as
the joint meeting Of executive
committeeman and state secre-
taries in August.
"The St. Louis programme as
construed by its friends should not
be repudiated. 1t has passed off
the scene Of action by change Of
circumstances, but that is no rea-
son why it should be repudiated

Gus constructive measures to be

too negative to be entirely salts

Culture generations will look
back upon it as a strong, proud

tions call for. It is safe to pre-
dict that the practical programme
will be along the line of the In
ter-Allied programme of internal
reconstruction. Our campaign
will find us an absolutely united
party"
The attitude of Victor Berger,
former member of Congress, who is
now under Indictment, is we'll
known. In his recent Senatorial
campaign in Wisconsin he ran on
the St. Louis platform, with an ad-
ditional plank of his own calling for
the immediate withdrawal Of our
troops from France. For this lat
ter he was strongly criticised by
most of the party leaders, either
publicly or privately.
Stedman Considered
The Most Moderate
Seymour Stedman, generally ac-
counted the most moderate member
of the committee. contents himself
with pointing out that free discus
sion on the matter is impossible. He
writes:
"The significant political and
industrial changes which have
taken place since the adoption OF
the St. Louis war proclamation of
the Socialist party, in April, 1917,
make it almost imperative that.
the party should supplement it's
industrial programme and add to
its reconstruction demands. This

GUS procedure. On the other
hand, what purpose could a con-
vention serve with delegates, some
with a gag upon their lips, listen
ing without the freedom of re-
plying?
"There is no way to determine

mail is uncertain and expression

John NJ. Work comes out viror-
ously in defence Of the st. Louis
resolution as an instrument fitted to
its time. but demands a supple.
mentary programme of a nature not
specified. He writes:

National Executive
Committee Divided

Adolph Germer, national execu-
tive secretary, is known to be in IA
vor of a moderate revision. At a
recent session of the Illinois COM
mittee, he sponsored report on the
party's war attitude, which was by
no means pro-war, but was voted
down in favor of one still less pro-
war.
1t is not these officers, however,
who will determine the party's at
titude. If the proposed convention
is not called the task will fall upon
the new executive committee, which
will be elected under new system,
three persons from each of Ave sec
tions of the nation, and will take of
flee in early summer.
More important, perhaps, is Eu-
gene Debs, who, though he has never
held party Office or directed party
policy, is the Emotional Czar" of
American Socialism. His recent ed
itorial, already referred to, shows
that he has given up hope Of depend
ing on the German Comrades" and
believes that the American party
must face facts. 1t calls loudly for
a revision of, the party stand, but
places this demand on the assertion

I S THE Socialist party becoming

rs THE Socialist party becoming
4 converted to patriotism?
Ever since the American So
cialist party held its famous conven-
ton in st. Louis, little more than
a year ago, and voted for "continu-
Gus, active and public opposition to
the war" there have been conflicting
rumors and reports concerning this
most radical of American political
bodies. What effect had subsequent
events exercised upon it's counsels
and purposes? Had it been stirred
to action by the German rape of
Russia? Had it been moved not at
all by the supreme danger which the
Western drive brought to Western
civilization? Had it not seen in
President Wilson'S repeated demo-
cratic statements the fulfilment Of
it's own professed aims? Was it not,
in short, by this time prepared to re-
pudiate the ST. Louis platform and
support the war?
That there is a growing demand
for some kind of modification is GER
tain. From what sources does this
demand come? How large portion
of the leadership, how large a pro-
portion of the membership, makes
it? Has the party become weaker
since it took it's anti-war position?
Has it privately repudiated that po-
sition? In short. has the Socialist
party of America become loyal?
The Tribune has talked or COM
municated with many of the leaders
and representative members Of the
rank and file, and believes the sum-
mary here given closely approxi-
mates the truth.
Inquiry Shows
Change Of Opinion
Briefly, the investigation shows:
That the overwhelming majority
of the Socialist party urgently ia
vors a new statement of party
principles, free from the violent
anti-war statements contained in
the st. Louis resolution.
That the great majority Of the
party membership is opposed to
giving a blanket Endorsement to
the Wilson government in the
prosecution of the war.
That the treatment of Russia
by Germany has convinced a con-
siderable portion, though by no
means majority, of the party
membership that the best interests
of Socialism and democracy will
be served by an active support Of
The war; this portion is chiefly
composed of the Russian Jewish
and the Bohemian, and other Slavic
elements.
That smaller portion has been
won over to active support
through the liberal statements of
President Wilson, who has con-
vinced them that this is not a
"capitaEsts' war;" but honestly a
war for democratic purposes.
That the party will undoubtedly
refrain from any further opposi-
ton to the war, but win almost
certainly continue to urge immedi-
ate negotiations for a general
peace, particularly in the form of
an international labor conference
similar to that proposed by the
Stockholm conference and to that
urged by the British Labor party
and the Inter-Allied Labor Confer

Woman Official Wants
"A New Statement

The members of the National
Executive Committee carefully re-
frain from committing themselves
in favor Of repudiation of the St.
Louis platform, all arguing that un-
der recent laws the matter cannot
even be discussed. Anna A. Maley,
of Minneapolis, goes no further than
to favor ga new statement of con-
structive aims" She wires:
"While the general analysis
made in the st. Louis programme
is remarkable for it's fidelity to
truth, its assumption that the
working class as such is never
vitality concerned in the outcome Of
wars between capitalist nations
does not seem to be supported by
the evidence of history. An over
whelming military victory for any
highly developed capitalist power
would be, I believe, a calamity for
world democratic forces. Ger
many's attitude toward Russia and
Finland shows as little good will
for democracy in general as was
shown by the Allied governments
when Kerensky besought them to
confirm by action their democratic
professions.
Lovers of liberty in America
do not blink the Allied sins toward
democracy, but also they recognize
that a conclusive military victory
for Germany must mean occasion
for the continued specialization of
the worldwide nilitarism. The St.
Louis programme is a historical
declaration, pro-peace and pro-
liberty, but not pro-German.
Present conditions demand,
believe, a new statement of con-
structive aims, and while present
espionage laws preclude any full
and free discussion Of war cues
tions, it is safe to say that wide
if not controlling sentiment in
favor Of a constructive statement
exists in the American Socialist
party"

says:
