ARK UP THE WRONG
TREES

The Socialist party of America is
holding a national convention in
New York City and accusing Com
munists and Soviet Russia for the
fact that its total membership has
fallen from $4,000 In 1919 to 49,
474 in 1928. "We have been flirt-
ing with Soviet Russia long enough"
declares Editor Conan Of the jew
ish Forward.
But more than the OBJECTIONS of
Communists, more than the "dis-
NAL failure" of Lenin and Trotzky,
more than the prosecutions under
legal methods" given by Algernon
Lee as a cause of the empty ranks
faced by the convention, we would
mention the hostile position taken
efforts Of the United States when
it entered the world war.
A socialism which can sympa-
thize with an alien imperialism in
a great world struggle invites what
has overtaken the Socialist party of
America. In the long run the de-
lection Of those who left II on ac-
count Of its war attitude in 1917
and 1918 is n more serious matter
than its recent losses upon the TX
trcme left.

WHY WARS C

Secretary Hughes remarks In
Washington before the delegations
attending the National Conference
of Social Workers deserves to be
read and meditated upon by every
person who cleaves to the illusion
that it is possible to abolish war
from the world by mechanical con-
trivances. Himself n t%ireless labor
err in the vineyard of peace, a states
man who has contributed in no
small degree to reduce the number
Of possible aus of international
trouble, Nh. Hughes nevertheless is
too keen an observer of men and
affairs to believe that war al be
eliminated by the waving of any
magic wand. The cause of war lies
deep-rooted in human nature. The
desire to fight, in men as we'll as in
peoples, is a primal instinct, and
the prescription Of war can never
be effected until the seeds of
friendship and goodwill shall have
been planted among nations, and
have borne fruit.
Said Mr.. Hughes in his Washing
ton address:
The more We reflect upon the
essential conditions Of peace, the
more clearly it appears that they

President Wilson was wont to call
a "little group OF wilful men,"
though it must be remembered that
the "little group" is considerably
smaller than that which used to an
noy the late war executive. Far
from ~conceding defeat, they are
prepared to make a bitter fight on
the court. The Hi Johnsons and
the Moseses can usually be counted
on to make a bitter fight. But with
the figures as they appear now, it
does not seem that they will have
much chance.
