secretly under the "unspeakable car"
The "split" actually occurred in the
Indianapolis national convention of
the party in 1912. There the dirty
work was done, engineered by the
Bergers, Hilquits, Spargoes and their
kind. 1t was THERE the anti-sabotage
plank was injected into the Party
constitution, thus making it a crime
for member of the party to advocate
industrial unionism, direct action or
any real revolutionary tactic. 1t was
THERE resolved to rid the Socialist

clan was worse, tho NOT MUCH,
than either Democrat or Republican!
Such action was of course natural to

ers tinged with idealism, the surprise
the shock, was great. The "split" re-
ferred to, therefore, took place ir
1912, not 1919. And the reason fol-
the split is today self-evident; the
revolutionary group, of which Hay
wood was one, sensed the coming
danger to the workers cause; they
desired to point the way to the Amer
lean proletariat, and help them WIN
at the point of production-in tn,
mine, mill, field, factory and shop
where their interests lay.
The socialist parlamentarian
frowned on this program; they for
bade such action, and resorted to un
der-handed political methods Of tn

rethically of course) to higher level

neither to pay the reparations nor to
,disarm the counter-revolutionary or
ganizations nor to punish the guilty
capitalists.
Almost all the governmental par
ties have clearly revealed their camou-
flage during the two years of their
rule. With the ultimatum accepted,
they will reduce the German prole-
tariat to actual starvation. They will
try to squeeze from the laboring mas
ses all the expenses Of the State.
To satisfy the demands of the En-
tente they will try to humor the al
lied conquerors, and in place Of dis
arming the bourgeoisie, they will rob
the proletariat Of all means of de-
fense.
The acceptance Of these conditions,
under the decadent capitalist regime
in Germany, is just as onerous as a
refusal would be. The only possible
escape is the overthrow of the power
Of the bourgeoisie and the suppress
sion Of the capitalist system. That is
why we Communists question the right
of Capitalist Germany-of the Ger.
man bourgeoisie and their agents, the
Right Socialists--to decide the fate
of the German proletariat by accept
ing or refusing the allied conditions.
The ultimatum is the result of the
brigand imperialist policy of the
German and Allied bourgeoisie. That
is why the U. X. p. d. refuses to
agree to the conditions Of the ulti-
matum. But it asserts that its refu-
sal has nothing in common with the
scarcerly concealed purpose of the
Nationalists to bring on a war Of
revenge, with the revision Of the Yer.
sailles Treaty as their goal. The U.
X. p. d. does not expect the revision
and suppression Of this treaty except
by the common efforts Of the prole-
tariat Of Germany and Of the En-
tente. Only the government of the
German proletariat will have the pow
or to re-establish the disorganized
economic life and TO heal the wounds
which the insane policy Of the i'm
perialist war has inflicted on the ma
tions. Only the government of the
German proletariat, together with the
revolutionary proletarist Of the al.
lied countries, can restore what i'm.
perialism has destroyed in Belgium
and northern France.
Only under the dictatorship Of the
proletariat will tho German bour-
geoisie be disarmed ard the howlers
for imperiaiist war be crushed.
| As long IS capitalism lasts, there
will be no peace. The world proletariar
revolution constitutes the only safe
guard for the suppressed classes Of

To triumph one must be strong. To be
strong one must be organized.
Inasmuch as the war has been declared
on an international SCALE in order to triumph
the proletarian army must be organized on
international proportions
But this international organized army OF
the progressive proletariat of Europe and
America has enormous reserves. These re-
serves are the people of the Orient, oppres-
sed by colonial imperialistic slavery, who
have come to understand cearly and feel
that they can be liberated from slavery only

spiracy that can not be crushed, one in
which millions participate, which is support
ed by tens of mllions-a conspiracy in wich
the reason of history finds embodiment and
which, therefore, is destined to triumph in
the end.

WHAT is A DISADVANTAGE

Before you worry about your disadvantages stop and
think what a disadvantage IS
1t povertyfor least half of the who have
amounted anything in this world found poverty positive
advantage.
1t is not lack of brth-for if only and women of
birth achieved distinction there would be mighty little work
for the biographers to do.
1t is envronmentfoF there railroad trains and
steamships take of any environment in which he
happens to be born.
What, then, is a disadvantage
We should say that wealth a very important one, par
tiCularly when it is inherited.
Every time boy born to wealth makes success in life
he deserves the plaudits of his fellow
Every time boy born to throne amounts to anything
he deserves the praises of the whole world But that hap
great physical disadvantages be overcome,
the poet Pope and many who have followed him amply
demonstrated.
You will find many of magnificent physical proper
and Jove-ke exterors doing very humble work,
which they being bOssed by little, weazened who
look like grocers' clerks.
Real disadvantages mostly bad habs-lazy
methods of thought and work. drus and suspicion of
fellow men, a pessimistic and outlook life.
These disadvantages be got rid of by and prac

thing in the world that will count.
If you born poor most boys are, your faculties
will be sharpenad and mind made clear by the fight
with poverty Count that very great advantage indeed
and make the of it, All you need do fight
little harder than the alongside of you, and you will
discover that getting along toward the position
that every man ought to desire.

WHERE THEY AcREF

appears TO have been the President Of the French
II Republic himself who relieved the tension in the
supreme Council by bringing the question of Ger

This would indicate that public opinion in France
IS not lacking extreme and impossible reparation
demands to the extent that certain elements in
French politics have tried to have it believed.
Premier BRAND is reported to have said yesterday:
This reparations question must be settled
once and for all before Saturday night"
