he Left Wing Bolts Splitting the Socialist Party
Who the Socialist Leaders Are
and What They
Believe

a Left Wing delegate you and your
branch have no rights, but must
blindly follow the dictates Of the
steering committee"
But the Let's went on with their
work and paid little or no attention
to the mild attacks of the "reac-
tionary Socialists" And in order to
do their work better in this city the
Let's began the publication Of
weekly newspaper. Not that this
paper was the first Left Wing or
gan to be published; there were sew
eral others in different sections of
the country; but it was the first in
New York City. The paper was
called "The Communist" and was
brought out early in April of this
year. One of the chief reasons
given for its publication was
that the party press, or "The Call"
would not give the Let's space.
This paper is edited by John Reed.
The two principal associate editors
are Eamonn MacAlpine and N. l..
Hourwich. The business manager
is Benjamin Gitlow.
Other organs are "The Liberator," "
edited by Max Eastman, and "The
Revolutionary Age" edited by Louis
C. Fraina, responsible for much of
the intellectual philosophy of the
Lefts.
"The Socialist" has a griev-
ance against the Let's, and that
is the title which they say has been
imposed on them. They deny Wig
orously the title of Right Wing
"The Socialist" draws a picture Of
Socialist party sections in Europe
and points out that the Right Wings
of Europe were those factions
which favored the war 1t Their
discusses conditions in the loca'
Socialist party.
In other words, say the miscallel
Rights to the apparently miscallec
Lefts, "We're the right Left anc
you're the left Right"
At this point it may be we'll te
state that there are not only these
two factions in the Socialist party
There is the so-called Centrist fac
ton. But we are concerned only
with the other two, and the position
of the Centrists may be best ex
planned by saying that they are "or
the fence" and as yet undecided al
to what group they will join.

Board of Aldermen and is a grad
uate of several American universi
ties. He is also the educational di
rector Of the Rand School Of So
clal Science that was raided by tn,
Lusk Committee during the earl,
part of the week.
At first, like the leaders, of tn,
Left Wing, Lee refused to dis
cuss the entire matter, giving tn
same answer that the Left lead
ers did: "We Socialists do no
care to make the capitalist pres
the political arena of our domestic
difficulties. He was finally pre-
vailed upon to discuss the situa
ton. He was asked what the DO
sition Of the Right Wing, or tn
regular Socialist party, is.
"The Socialist party" he said

tionary in its aims. What ! meal

sound and lasting basis so long as
Russian is in a state of civil war and
anarchy. Military intervention is out
Of the question. The Russian pro-
visional governments are opposed to
IL. They protest against any foreign
intervention or interference with
their internal affairs"
No such provisional governments
other than that of Trotzky and Le-
nine were specified as adopting this
attitude.
Some of the provisional govern
ments," he continued, TASK the
great powers for munitions, money
and food to enable them to carry on
their respective isolated operations
against the bolsheviki, but were the
allies to comply, this would merely
help to prolong and intensity the
strife"
Therefore the great powers of civ
ilization assembled in Paris to re-
establish the peace of the world on
an enduring basis of justice instead
of uniting in a declaration of out
lawry against the redhanded MUIR
derers invite Trotzky and Lenine,
whose crimes have been officially
recognized by the United States in
Secretary Lansing's communication,
to meet them in friendly counsel,
while refusing arms and munitions
to the loyal Russians whose cour-
age is still undaunted" because to
aid them would merely help to pro-
long the struggle"

but one could attain at least "a
some Of its results. AT the eonclu-
sion Of the general war one could
establish on clear and precise prin-
ciples the prescription of the rights
of nations Why could not one sub
init to it the positive rights OF
nations, assure the privilege OF
neutrality and insert the obligation
Of never beginning war until all re-
sources which the mediation of a
third party could offer have been
exhausted, or until the grievances
have BY this means been brought to
light, and effort to remove them
has been made.
"On principles such as these one
could proceed to a general pacifi-
cation. and give birth to league
Of which the" stipulations would
form, so to speak, a new code of
the law of nations, which, sanctions
ed by the greater part of the ma
tions Of Europe, would without
difficulty become the immutable
rule of the cabinets, while those who
should try to infringe it would risk
bringing upon themselves the forces

Has World Changed?
The language of this paragraph
SO apparently applies to the present
situation. 1t is familiar to history
how the high ideals of the car were
finally reduced to the terms of the
Holy Alliance which, as Prof. w.
A. Phillips says, I'm its inception, at
least, was colored by lofty ideal
ism, and ended by sinking in the
nostrils of all lovers of liberty"
This result possibly may be as
cribed to the fact that England re-
NAMED outside on Alexander's
proposition to invite the United
States to agree with the European
allies in the question of Spanish
American colonies which was not
adopted. ..
III will always be a credit to his
memory that the charter designed
by this plan to restore each nation
10 full and entire enjoyment of its
rights and of its institutions, and to
place them all, including his own,
under the safeguard of a general
alliance in order to guarantee the
one and to save the, other from the
ambitions Of a conqueror. The
world was not then ready for such
a plan, the car himself as little as
any other, as was found in the
working out of the scheme. Is it
going to be more practicable today?
Whence the Authority
In the course of the remaks with
which he supported his motion to
adopt the resolution to create the
league, Mr.. Wilson stated that
representatives of the United States
xkarded it as the keystone of the
wRole program. and he conveyed the
Impression that they were acting

and she suggested a number of
things that might be incorporated
with benefit.
Mrs. Williams said the parochial
schools were doing good work in
the education of foreign-born chill
dren and it would be unwise to elm
mate them. She also said that there
was peril in prohibiting the use of
foreign language in teaching for
there was as great danger in Amer
icanizing persons too far as there
was in Americanizing them too
slowly. The prohibition of foreign
language was too prone to separate a
child from home and religious ties
before he could form useful ones of
his own independently.

1t was announced that the same

respect to the army in the United

when necessary to give officers

take some action having no relation
TO the conduct of the war in order
TO make the authors of these crimes
understand the aversion with which
civilization regarded their abomin-
able acts.
There was also included in the
Mathis article the text of an official
communication published at the
same time by the Associated Press,
which briefly summarized the aw-
full crimes the bolsheviki were conf
hitting, and stated that for purposes
of serving loyal Russians the United
States had addressed to the civilized
world an appeal calling for imme-
date action.
Recognition Results. :.
This communique concluded with
the following paragraph:
"If the bolsheviki should be de-
clared outlaws by the entire world
they could find asylum nowhere
when they are overthrown, and
could be sent before the proper tri-
bunals to answer further for their
acts. 1t is believed that such a mea-
sure would aid the Russian people
in overthrowing Lenine and Trot-
zky, the Russian people knowing
they had the appreciation and sup
port of the nations of the world"
This appeal thus far has only re-
suited in securing from the repre-
sentatives of the five great nations
of the world assembled at the peace
conference an invitation to the same
outlaws whose crimes were so
graphically described in Secretary
Lansing's communication, in COM
mon with those loyal Russians, who,
without arms and without material
resources, have been seeking to pre-
vent the complete submerging of all
Russia under the Trotzky-Lenine
wave of terror, to meet at the con-
ference table on Princes island.
Bow to Expediency.
The Mathis article proves too
much. 1t justifies the feeling so
profoundly expressed in many cir
cles here that the peace conference
has sacrificed fundamental principles
of right and justice to the most SUI
perhcial counsels of expediency.
Ever since the action was taken by
conference excuses, explanations and
attempted Qualifications have been
appearing. This last apology in the
Matin is evidence that the president
is not insensible to the impairment
of his moral position in uniting in
the invitation to the bolsheviki
A high British authority yester-
day expressed his views of the peace
conference as follows:

order in Russia. 1t is utterly i'm
