interests would be common and
mutual. The socialist says that by
working and doing as much as he
could he would be helping to shorten
the workday, because If all the people
Of the world were at work they could
produce an abundance Of everything
necessary for the worlds happiness
and comfort, every one would have
all he needed, no one would have
more than another and 1t would be to
the interests Of each individual to
work to shorten his own workday.
The program Of socialism promises
to destroy all private ownership.
There will be no such thing as private
property. No one will own land. The
land, the factories, the railroads, the
mines, everything, will be owned in
common. The state will hold the title
to everything, manage everything and
distribute the product. This plan
abolishes profits, rent and private cap
italism.
Money and Capital.
To understand this doctrine 1t is
necessary to clearly know the mean
Ing of the word Capital" Many peo-
pie confuse the word "capltal" with
the word money" These words have
totally different meanings. Money is
the metal or paper used by govern
ment to make easy. the exchange Of
products. Without money the world
would go back to the barter system,
In which the man who had corn
traded 1t for meat. clothes, and the
others things he needed. Capital is
the unconsumed product of labor. In
other words, all of the food, cloth,
clothing, machinery, etc., in the world
Is its capital, just as a mans capital
Is the food he has In the cupboard,
the clothes he hasn't worn out, the
money In the bank which represents
a power to buy. 1t is the surplus. It
is the reserve.
Plato, the great Greek philosopher.
In the republic Of Plato we find
defense of state socialism. From
Plato to Lenine men have been urging
communism as cure for the ills Of
the world, as a remedy for wrong, as
a means of realizing exact justice.
Modern socialism dates from the
Communist Manifesto" published in
1S4S, by Karl Marx and Frederick
Engels. Their outline of the socialist
plan seized upon the thought of the
world. Since that day it has been
gathering the dissatisfied of the world
and grouping them in class, develop
ing what they term "class con-
seriousness" Back of it has been an
insistent, uninterrupted propaganda
which has reached every corner of the
globe. Billions Of leaflets, pamphlets
tracts and books have been circulated.
Millions of speeches have been made.
Drawing rooms have been thrown
open to it, hghbrows have professed
the faith, lowbrows have Numbered
the creed from soapboxes on the
street corners. 1t has flourished best
in Europe. 1t has furnished prime
ministers. It's voice today In the par
liaments of Europe is not whisper,
1T Is q shout. In the new governs
ments which have come out of the
war it is militant, dominant factor.
The bolshevism of Russia is pure
socialism-literal communism. At this
moment I am not writing of the meth
DDS of the bolsheviks. First, ! want
to make clear and simple their plan.
Bolshevism is an effort to put into
practice the doctrine preached by
Plato, programmed by Marx.

SOME LIGHT ON B0LSHEVISM
Movement Not Anarchistic, as So
Many Seem to Think-ProbabIy
Is Best Described as "con-
sistent Socialism"
Article XIII.
BY FRANK coMERFoRD.

If l were asked to name the princi-
pal cause for the growing unrest my
answer would be bolshevism. The al
most universal attitude of big business
toward Russian bolshevlsm--an atti-
tude adopted by most of the govern
ments of Europeans been, and Is,
Kill It; don't waste time examining It;
1t isn't worth trying to understand; no
good can come out Of it; 1t must be
fought; 1t isn't entitled to trial.
Reams of paper have been used to as
sail 1t. Captains Of industry and gov
eminent officials have We'd with each
other In making assault on 1t. Many
of those who oppose bolshevism are
indignant If you ask them what 1t is
and why they oppose it. They charac-
terize it, attack 1t, resent it. Great
heat has been shown in discussing it,
without throwing any light on the sub
ject. Absurd lies have been told
about bolshevlsm. Later these unnec-
essary and stupid lies have been ex-
posed, with the result that suspicion
has been Bred unrest fed. The effect
upon the workers has been to increase
their hate for their employers and de-
stroy their already weakened faith In
government.
Whether bolshevism Is, right or
wrong, whether it Is a good thing or
bad thing, it is at least a definite po-
lltical plan. capable of being examined,
measured, weighed and tested. 1t is
few of the things it has been called.
II is entitled to hearing on its mer-
its. 1t cannot be howled down in
abuse.
Bolshevism Not Anarchy.
Those who lead the campaign
against 1t frequently and confusingly
define 1t as anarchy. If there is one
thing that bolshevism is not, 1t Is an
archy. Much controversy will be
avoided, many differences Of opinion
dissolved If we come to fair and
open understanding Of the bolshevik
program. One of the great misfor-
tunes is that we form opinions without
information, rush to judgments with
out understanding. then stubbornly
close our minds. Much Of the discord
and strife Of life in big things, as well
as In little matters, is due to this
habit. Anarchy Ia not criminal law
lessness, notwithstanding the fact that
this is the popular misconception Of
the term. Say anarchist and the av-
erage man or woman to whom you say
1t looks frightened, thinks Of q bomb
thrower. a dynamiter, q frebrand.
Such man Is not an anarchist; he n
