even more badly than the ideas of
liberty, equality, and fraternity. For
capitalism, when it rationalized indus
trial conditions, did not rationalize the
social organization Of ownership and
thus prepared instruments of destruc-
ton such as even the middle ages
never dreamt OF.
theoretically and politically paci-
fism stands on the same foundation
as does the theory of the harmony of
social interests. The antagonism be-
tween capitalist nations have the same
economic roots as the antagonisms
between classes. And if we admit the
possibility of a progressive bunting
of the edge of the class struggle, it
requires but single step further to
accept a gradual softening and reg
ulating Of international relations.
Tho source of the theology of demo-
cracy, with all it's traditions and il
lusions, is the petty bourgeoisie.
English and American pacifism, in
spite Of the differences in social and
ideoligic forms, is carrying on, at
bottom. the same task. It offers to the
petty and the middle bourgeoisie an
expression for their fears of world
cataclysms in which they may lose
their last remnants of independence
Their pacifism chloroforms their con
science by means OF impotent ideas

9 Imperialism, Pacifism and War 9

Of disarmament, international law,
and world courts, only to deliver them
up body and soul, at the decisive
moment, to imperialistic capital which
now mobfhzes everything for its own
purposes: industry, the church, art,
bourgeois pacifsm and patriotic so
cialism.
VIM. Jennings Bryan rashly and
noisily expressed the natural aversion
of the farmers and Of the small man"
generally to all such things as world
policy, military service, and higher
taxes. Yet, at the same time that he
was sending wagon loads of petitions,
as we'll as populations, to his paciist
colleagues at the head of the govern
ment, Bryan did everything in his
power to break the revolutionary edge
of the whole movement. III war
should come" Bryan telegraphed on
the occasion Of an anti-war meeting
in Chicago, 1--WE will all support the
government, of course, yet at this

in our power to preserve the nation
from the horrors of war;"
These few words contained the en-
tire program of petty bourgeois paci-
flsm. To do everything in our power
against the war means for them to
afford the voice of popular indigna-
ton and outlet of the form Of harm
less demonstrations. after having
previously given the government
guarantee that it will meet with no
serious opposition in the case of war
from the pacifist faction.
Official pacifism could have desired
nothing better. 1t could now give
satisfactory assurance Of imperial
istic preparedness" After Bryan's
own declaration, only one thing was
necessary to dispose of his noisy OPP
position to war, and that was simply
to declare war. And Bryan rolled right
over into the governments camp.
Then, not only the petty bourgeoisie
but also the broad masses of the
workers said to themselves: 'If our
government with such an outspoken
pacifist as Wilson at it's head de-
clares war, and If even Bryan sup
ports the government in the war, it
must be an unavoidable and righteous
war" -. 1t is now evident why
the sancimonious, Quaker-like paci-
fism of the bourgeois demagogues is
in such high favor in financial and
war industry circles.

oretically, to forget that every war is
the continuation of politics by other
means. The present imperialistic war
is the continuation of the imperialistic
policy originating and developing I'M
der the conditions of the epoch of
imperialism. But this same epoch
must necessarily produce the policy
of fighting against national suppress
sion and the struggle of the prole-
tariat against the bourgeoisie. There
develops, accordingly, the possibility
and inevitability, first, of revolution

Democracy, Pacifism, and Imperial
Ism, by L. Trotzky.
Pacifism springs from the same his.
torical roots as democracy. The bour-
geoisie made gigantic effort to ra.
tionalize human relations, that is, to
supplant blind and stupid tradition
by system Of critical reasoning. The
guild restrictions on industry, class
privileges, monarchic autocracy,-
these we're the traditional heritage OF
the middle ages. Bourgeois democracy
demanded legal equality, free compe.
tition. and parliamentary methods in
the conduct of public affairs. Natural
ly, its rationalistic critera were ap-
piled also in the field of international
relations. Here it hit upon war. which

masses that the social and political
complexion of war is not determined
by the good will of certain individuals
or certain groups, but by the class
which conducts the war, by the class
policy of which the war seems to be
a product, by the alliances of capital
lists, the dominant economic force in
modern society, and by the imperial
istic character of international capt.
talism. 1t requires skill to make this
clear to the masses and none of US
could do that at a stroke without
somewhat laundering in the attempt.
The end of the war will not come
by merely wishing it. Nor because
one of the two belligerent groups
wishes it. We can't put an end to the
war by grounding arms.
There is nothing more dangerous
than phrases like "The nations de-
claration of peace" "The steps taken
by the proletariat of one nation after
another" etc. All of which is pure
sentimentalism in the style of Louis
Blanc.
The war was not started by the sin
lister will of robber capitalists, altho
it is fought purely in their interests
and is not enriching anybody else.
The war was a consequence Of the
development of international capital
ism in the course of the past so
years, of its endless connections and
ramifications.
We cannot wiggle out Of an i'm
perialistic war, we cannot have a
democratic peace, but only peace i'm
posed by violence, until we over
throw the power of capitalism, until
the powers of government pass into
the hands of different class, the
proletarian class.
Armaments and War, by Lenin.
Certain revolutionary socialists, who
are advocates of disarmament, use as
their main argument the claim that
this demand expresses most clearly,
most emphatically, and most thor
oughly, the struggle against all forms
of militarism and against every war.
And this main argument constitutes
precisely the fundamental mistake of
all the advocates of disarmament. So
cialists cannot be opposed to every
war without ceasing to be socialists.
Socialists have never been opposed
to revolutionary wars, and they never
can accept that attitude. The bour-
geoisie of the imperialistic nations is
thoroughly reactionary and we know
tina the war waged at present by this
bourgeoisie is a reactionary, criminal
war of spoilation. If this is fact,
what about a war against this bour-
geoisie? For example, war Of the
suppressed and subjected, or colonial
peoples against the imperialistic bour-
geoisie.
One of the essential characteristics
Of imperialism is precisely that it &C
CELEBRATES the development of capital
ism in backward countries and with ii
the struggle against national oppres'
sion. This is a fact, and from this fact
it follows inevitably that imperialism
must often breed national wars.
The negation of all possible nation
al wars under Imperialism is thee
retically and historically incorrect
and in practise promotes European
Chauvinism. We, belonging to nations
that suppress hundreds Of millions Of
people in Europe, Africa. and Asia, de
clare to these oppressed peoples thai
their war against "our" nation is i'm
possible!
Civil wars are also wars. Those

Civil wars are also wars. Those
who accept the class struggle must
accept civil wars which, under certain
circumstances, are natural and in
evitable continuance, development,
and accentuation of the class strug-
gle in every society based on class
divisions. All great revolutions prove
this. To deny or to overlook civil
wars would mean becoming a victim
Of the most hopeless opportunism and
abandoning the social revolution.

LONDON, November 19.-The con-

considered recently by a conference
of the international Racing Union
presided over by Sir w. Burton, vice
president of the Yacht Racing Asso-
citation, who said there was a uni

suited in wholesome boat without
unnecessary underbody. He was de-
lighted to see an American repre-
sentative present to give firsthand

Prof Poor of New York said he
considered the American rule supe-
rior to that of the union. as. in his
opinion, it produced better all

The state recently opened Q new
stretch of concrete highway forty
miles long. With the opening OF this
stretch OF highway one can drive from
Vancouver. B. c., to the California
state line and never leave the paved
highway. This highway is known as
the Pacific highway.
When this stretch was opened 1t
was decided to make a regular cele-
bration out of II and parade auto
mobiles from Olympia. capital Of
Washington. to Salem, the capital of
Oregon. First there was n big cele-
brati0n in Olympia. At this celebra-
tion the governors of Oregon and
Washington were present and the
highway patrol was called on to han
die the large crowds and the many
automobiles. For two days the patrol
kept everything moving In and around
Olympia. Wherever the governors

motor cycles.

than soc automobiles left Olympia for

cycles made IL possible to handle the
caravan. Not one accident was re-
