Disorders Always Follow War.
'The recent world war. more than
any preceding war, was. however. a
non-individualistic concentration or
the masses in the name of causes not
their own. In the wake of all wars
comes a period of disorder. This is
due to the predatory habit formed by
the use of armed force. Enormous
concentration all over the world of
fighting men left a dangerous impetus
in the masses. The impetus to use
force is now finding a logical outlet
in organized riots throughout Ger
many. Hunger, although 1T has moth
ing fundamental to do with bolshe-
visn. acts as an irritant or. speaking
in military terms, as the directing
genius to unrest. In a nutshell, the
psychological situation is that the
masses having fought almost i've
years for spiritually mysterious
somebody else now desire to fight for
themselves Thus it is seen that the
basis of bolshevism is a form OF in
dividual anarchy.
Because of his cultural and ethical
training even the lower class type
cannot be predatory and anarcnistic
without losing self-respect. There
fore. in the same manner as the cap
italist system lured the masses to de-
fend it by such slogans as glory.
honor 'heroiSrn,' and defense OF the
fatherIand.' so the proletariat system
coming into the world lures the
masses to deeds of violence by sim
ilarly extraneous slogans, rule Of
workers. division Of wealth and in
dustrial equality"
Says Everthing Is Too Late.
do you think raising the blockade
will save Germany" I asked.
NO" replied Prof. Schumacher
.oThe entente may keep its blockade.
Giving Germany food and taking
away her ships is futile gesture.
The only way to save Germany from
bolshevism is by restoring in full the
capitalistic industrial system. So
long as this system continues weak
Germany remains at the mercy of
rising.
Everything now is too late. Peace
is too late and food is too late.
America, full of food and with plenty
of work. England well supplied and
France victorious and well fed are
already rumbling with bolshevism. 1
feel certain today that an era of class
wars which will dwarf the horrors of
the recent war is upon the world. 1t
will not be a war between distinctly
drawn classes. You and I find on both
sides bourgeoisie and working men
on both sides. The fntellectuals. I
fear, are chiefly on one side-that OF
the proletariat."
