THIS Is AMERICA"
By Eugene V. Debs in Debs' Maga-
zine

The radical elements of the Amer.
| lean working class must either ac-
Commodate their tactical differences
capitalism or they will surely be
further divided and ultimately de-
voured by their enemies.
1t was inevitable that the advent
Of revolutionary change in Russia
should affect the socialist parties of
the whole world, but it is likewise
true that each nation has its own
psychology and its own peculiar
problems other countries.
1t does not follow that because
Russia seemed to be able to take the
shortest cut to revolutionary change
every capitalist or imperialist coun-
try in the world is able to accept
their identical formula and pattern
after it. The workers of certain
country must of necessitay adapt
themselves to the methods and man
ners OF that country, and out Of
their own national psychology build
toward an international purpose.
If every man. woman and child in
Russia were suddenly deposited in
the United States. and every Ameri-
can should some morning awake and
find himself in Russia, and the Rus
slams in America and the Americans
in Russia were told to adapt them
selves to their strange environments
and use the tools and the machinery
of the displaced workers of the 9TH
ers' country, we know that nothing
could come of the experiment but
chaos, and that in very little while
Americans would begin to come back
to their native land, while the Rus
SLAMS would abandon our industrial
cities for their own farms and vine
yards.
AS it would be extremely difficult
if not altogether impossible, for this
physical transportation to take
place between Russians and Ameri-
cans, so it seems to me to be equally
difficult, if not impossible. for Amer
leans to suddenly assume the state
of political and social mind that has
engaged the working classes of Rus
sia since the overthrow of the Gar
American workingmen think as
Americans, not as Russians, or Jap
anese, or Germans-indeed, Ameri-
can workers do not even think as
English workers, and this is proven
by the fact that in each of those
countries there are labor unions,
guilds and political parties. each dis
tinct from similar organizations in
other lands and each adapted to the
peculiar temperament of the people
that desire to attract members, and
also adapted to the industrial and
political management of the country
wherein they function.
This does not mean that l am crit
icizing the Russian workers for the
manner in which they accomplish

10 Our Many Friends:

70 Our Many Friends:
We are continually in receipt of
requests for information from our
hest of friends wishing to be set
right as to union labeled cigarettes
and tobacco.
In reply to the many questions will
say that "Dills Best, and all of the
Dill's goods; Central Union, "Epi-
cure" and all of the United States
goods; "Edgeworth" and all the
I.arus & Brothers goods, including
"Relu" and Jumbo" Cigarettes, do
not bear the label and therefore not
union made goods.
We do not regard any tobacco or
cigarettes "union made" unless they
bear the label on the package. Many
of our friends ask us about certain
brands that they have been told are
union made. When you want to be
certain that brand is union made,
see that the label is on the package
the dealer hands you in exchange for
Your good money. When the label
is in evidence, you know you are
right. and can so convince your chal-
lenger by showing him the actual
label and the word of the dealer,
who wishes to sell what he has in
stock, as a rule, has little interest
in what is "union" and what is not.
To be sure you are right, 'look for
the label' and see that tits on what
you buy.
There is a world of satisfaction
in knowing that you are right.
Fraternally yours.

am trying to point out is what
seems to me to be an obvious truismf
That the Russian way may not be
the American way; and the German
Socialists may feel that they are
entitled to work out their own revo-
lutionary principles along the lines
of the German working class psy-
chology.
We can give the Russian revolu-
ton and the Soviet Government
every possible support, morally
spiritually and financially without
surrendering our own identity as
American Socialists and workers who
have social and industrial problems
peculiar to our national life and with
which the average Russian in Russia
is wholly unfamiliar
Internationalism does not mean to
me that any one country shall AFRO
gate to itself the right te impose its
nationalism upon all other countries,
thus making them international.
There is an international ideal that
must be upheld, and that ideal EN-
braces freedom for all mankind, re-
gardless of race. Sc, creed or color.
But it remains for the workers in
each nation to achieve their revolu-
tionary aims through their own eff
forts, and not by accepting without
question or scrutiny the program of
the one country which first saw lib
erty through the light of its people.
Russia could no more invoke it's
I,,4,
upon American workers with any de-
gree of success than a single Ameri-
can family could force their peculiar
traditions and mannerisms upon their
neighbors. Any attempt so to do
would only result in an open conflict
which might possibly be aired in the
police court.
| have gone into this subject from
this angle because to me 1t is patent
that by far the larger element of dis
agreement within our own ranks
found source in the revolutionary in
spiration furnished by the Russian
revolution. Americans should not ig-
more the fact that this is America
and / cannot too often stress that
geographical falt.
There is absolutely no certainty
that the American workers would
meet with success should they decide
to abandon their own program of
militant industrial and political
unionism for that of Moscow; but
there is a degree of certainty in the
belief that they would get no hear
ing from the masses of American
people. We cannot talk Russian
temperament and psychology to
American workers and voters and ex-
pect them to grasp its virtues in
twinkling. if at all Nor would Rus
slams lend a sympathetic ear to any
American protagonist of political and
industrial change if he sought to
convert the Russian to the Ameri-
can plan.
The workers in the United States
must come together some time if
they would be saved from the jaws
of the capitalist shark. Their unions
now are flung apart about as far as
they well can be and still be called
unions. and in a political sense, the
workers were never weaker than
they are at this very moment.
The time was never better than
right now for unity between the fac
tions of the industrial and political

and to labor, if you have a few dol
lars lend it to me at per cent, l
will lend it at 8 per cent and take

but l will not give you security: just

The Progressives in this state are
trying to cross the donkey and the
elephant in the senatorial race. Re-
suit: Bull Moose.
The skinning knives of the Repub-
lican machine are getting fearfully
dull and are hurting the farmer

stuff to attract attention while the
machine is backed up a blind alley
for regrinding the knives.
We are back to normalcy, but al
