before the Great War or the power
 and influence of German propaganda
 forced on the world to break down allied resistance to Tcutonc mili-
 tarism. Today this propaganda is
 an open book. It was propaganda that first hon eycombcd the Russian government with pro- German officials, and sub eouentiy broke the morale of the "ghtin- front with a doctrine of 'isloyalty and class hatred. The conversion of the Russian proletar- fat to the dogma of Socialism thru ntnrnationalism or anarchlsm. pop ,lar!y known as Bolshevism, caused
 he collapse and defection of Rus ia as bel,igerent. This was ac
 ompiished with the free use of Ger
 1an ~old. L6nine and Trotsky were
 , direct pay from Germany. -
 We know now that about a hundred million dollars were spent in this country for the same pur- pose. Outside of sporadic and partly effective attempt to infiu- ence Congress, this vast sum of bribes was spent to poison the i American llaborer and farmer thru the Socialist party, the I. w. w.. organization and the farmers Non Partisan League. Of these parties, the first hold the rank as parent to the others. On account of the economic conflict between the farm CT or producer and the industrial worker or laborer, the l. w. w. appeals directly to the worker while the League meets the requirements of the farmer. These organizations work on the same fundamentals- | disloyalty, class hatred and govern ment ownership or a. government of paternalism.
 These points are sufficiently yer flied with the Resolution on War
 and Militarism," adopted by the So- cialist party at the Emergency Convention" held at St. Louis, May, I1917. The following portions are
 quoted from the Socialist press: l "The Socialist party of the United
 States in the present grave crisis
 solemnly reaff1rms its allegiance to the principle of Internationalism and working-class solidarity the world over, and proclaim its un- | alterable opposition to the war just declared by the Government of the United States AS against the false doctrine of national patriotism
 we uphold the ideal of information
 al working-class solidarity. | The American people have | been plunged into this war by the trickery and treachery of the ruling l class of the country. We brand the declaration of war by ! )ur Government as crime against the people of the United States and | against the nations of the world" The gist of this report is iden- tical with the language used in the proclamations and manifestos of the lsheviki-undilluted disloyal- | ty, class hatred and lies. Revised to conform with facts the last clause should read: We brand the declaration of war by our Gov ,rnment as a crime against the So- cialists end pro-Germans of the United States and against the Ger man nation."
 England and France realized that .he American declaration of war meant Germany's doom. for which they have given unstinted and un- qualified appreciation, and which all Germans deemed a crime against the Fatherland.
 This resolution is official and has
 the approval of the American Le-
 nine, Socialist leader and ex-con-
 vict, Eugene V. Debs. that ti pro-
 nouncement is a ringing declara-
 ton of the fact that the workers
 of this country have no grievance against the workers of any other
 country, and that the only wars
 they have any interest in is the war
 against war and the war against
 capitalism"
 And the American Trotsky, Max
 Eastman, writes: "Our Socialist
 party has risen well to the occa-
 sion."
 What does he mean by "occa-
 sion? The same exactly as on
 butcher day farmer weighs the carcass of his hog. He has fed it costly grain for long time for this
 very occasion of getting his return on the feed and labor. And in spite of 8 metathetic Max. murder will out. The "occasion" for which they have fed the Socialist dope of treason and class hatred was the occasion when the Hun was butch ering the hog-murdering the de- lenders of freedom. and for good measure including the Socialists. In Russia this Judas investment yielded the pork of an empires de- struction and the prospects for world empire of the Teutonic Hun. The procalmation appeals to the l working mans solidarity, oetensibly
