Pacifism In The Universities

took care to bracket it with other
activities against which they wished
to arouse popular indignation. Paci-
fists became the tools Of the Third
international" entrusted with the dis
armiEs of capitalist nations so that
the Soviet government of Russia might
be in a position to help the proletariat
take over state power unhamperedl
BECAUSE pacifism is not definite
- economic remedy for the evils of
capitalism, but simply a primitive re-
action to an immediate phase of CAPT
talist life, the union of pacifism and
communism is a marriage Of incom-
patibles. The action of these
students shows, certainly,
cropping in the direction of re-
volt which, however blind, is still
encouraging. But pacifist activity, no
matter how sincere, is hardly revolu-
tionary 1t is really an exasperated
rebellion against an obvious evil-a
perfect example of emotiOnalism I'M
troubled by intelligent analysis. What
pacifists seem alone to have grasped
is the single fact that economic rival
ry is the cause of war. In such a cause
they refuse to fight. OF what will
come after disarmament-of this they
know nothing. Question them as to
present methods and ultimate results,
and you will find an utter lack of
comprehension. These students have
been sacrificing themselves to uphold,
not definite economic policy, but
the right to state of normal indig-
nation.
DEYOND a state of precarIous
- peace, the pacifist hope for moth
ing. The mere cessation of war is to
him the final goal To the Communist,
the destruction Of the means whereby
capitalism exists is merely a method
with further end in view. Commun-
ism is more than negation of CAPT
talism. It is definite economic plan

tenn to be adopted in place of the pres
emit one.

resistance in the class struggle as well
as in international wars. The Com
munists, so bitter an opponent Of wars
in which the proIetariat of one nation
fights the proletariat Of another nation
SO that their masters may obtain more
power, is an equally militant partisan
in a war that transcends national
BOUNDARIES. 1t is all very well for the
pacifist to argue that social and eco
nomic equality should be attained by
peaceful means. The fact remains that
social and economic equality cannot
be so attained. Where pacifism would
hold water in a sieve by attempting
the cure of economic ills with senti-
ment, the Communist realizes that the
only cure for economic ills is militant
economic.

event received little attention from
the press. The declaration of thirty
eight of the students that they would
refuse to participate in another war;
was treated, it is true, with indigna-
ton, but it was the amused indigna-
ton that is usually felt for cause
conceded to be hopeless.
GO it happened that when the meet
- ing occurred which first aroused
alarm-the meeting at which John r.
Fletcher, conscientious objector and
political prisoner Of three different
countries-was to address the Liberal
League of Northwestern, not single
reporter from the big metropolitan
newspapers was present. The news
papers simply did not have their eyes
on the situation. The meeting receiv-
ed notice only accidentally, thru the
interest Of student reporter of the
militarist camp. The story was given
the Chicago Herald Examiner in gar
bled form, and from then on no paci-
fist uterance was too innocuous to
receive first place in the news.
THE reason for this sudden reversal
l Of news values is not far to seek.
The pacifist demonstration added just
that touch Of dramatic relief so badly
needed by the newspapers in the
middle of February. The investigation
into the Teapot Dome scandal was be-
coming matter of concern to polit-
zeal leaders. 1t was assuming the as
pect of something more serious than
a public melodrama, graphic enough
to supply material for clever cartoons
and vivid enough to command a strain
ed attention. People were beginning
to grasp the tremendous implications
of the thing. Radical newspapers
were making capital of it. And cleo
ton time was drawing near.
XNTHILE pacifism was making a
NV dramatic entrance, the Senate in
designations were being stealthily
bundled out Of the back door. The
newspapers have gradually relegated
them from the right to the left-hand
columns, from the first to the inside
pages. At this rate, it is probable that
within few weeks we shall begin to
wonder mildly what became Of the
whole affair.
n ND would it be rash to suggest
n that another, and more insidious
motive actuated the press? Mexican
politics has OF late been turning rapid
somersaults. Subsidized revolutions
and counter-revolutions, tending to
weaken the Mexican government to an
extent that would Justify" the Elm
Prevention" Of the United States; the
establishment of claims in Mexico by
capitalists whose business methods
have received too much unsavory
notice to need description; the nuAi-
ficaticn of Mexican laws inimical to
American interests-these and other
factors point to Mexico as the next
victim of American Imperialism
IN such a crisis, favorable state of
/ public opinion is a factor Of no
mean Importance. Once the newspa-
pers had attracted the proper atten-
ton to the pacifIst movement, they

co says the press of America.
THE phenomenon of pacifism is, in
l fact, to be found in the American
universities. 1t is not what the news
papers say it is. 1t is not Bolshevism

Of a widespread pacifist movement,
as a revolt against the great military

of the American imperialist, cannot
escape the serious consideration of
American Communists.
DACIFISM, in all Of its pitiful flu
tility and at the same time in all
its significance as a social phenome
non of the time and place, is well
shown in the findings of the student
conference of Northwestern univer-
sity, held on February and 6. The
report of the findings Of the confer
ence is worth publishing as whole:
THE Northwestern Student Confer
| ence was composed Of LAT repre-
sentative students of the University.
The findings were voted on at the
last meeting Of the conference.
WAR.
CONSENSUS OF OPINION: We
should abolish in ourselves the atti-
tudes that make for war; such as hat
red, fear, suspicion, race prejudice
and rivalry.
Propositions voted on:
1. We believe that the United
States should join the League Of Ma
tions. Passed by 80 votes.
2. We believe that the United
States should enter the World Court.
Passed by Sc votes.
8. We believe education which will
develop International thinking should
be encouraged. Passed unanimously.
4. A. That policy Of preparedness
should be supported. Voted down by
"a.
B. That we as individuals, refuse
to participate in another war. Voted
down by So. 3S students in favor.
THE ECONOMIC ORDER.
CONCENSUS OF OPINION: The
standard by which the social order is
to be judged is whether or not it pro-
vides a means for every man to be
reasonably happy in his work. The
present order does not provide hap
piness or even the barest necessities
for many. The evils of such system
would perhaps, be remedied by an adj
justment to include these sugges-
tons:
/. Production and natural resources
for use and not for profit.
2. Workers should do work attrac-
tive to them; an additional remuner-
alton should be given for those tasks
that are unattractive.
3. Human values should be recog-
nized above efficiency in production.
4. Every able-bodied worker should
be employed.
5. There should be fair division Of
profits and an equality of opportunity.
Propositions voted on:
/. The student should realize his
social obligation to all his fellowmen
who have made possible his educa-
ton. Adopted by unanimous vote.
a. This realization should be evil
denced in application to his work at
school.
b. 1t should also be evidenced in
preparation to help those who by
their labor for wages, have made
possible profit enough for other
men to endow a University.
2. The student should make an eff

told that the military directorate regards the aims
of the moderate socialists with considerable sym
pathy. While the Spanish Communists have been
bounded and prosecuted, the socialists have been
distinctly let alone in their propaganda The
Spanish socialist party is attracting the spe-
cial sympathy Of the middle and professional
classes. 1t is this basis that General Primo de
Rivera win very likely associate himself at an early
date with the national socialist group and strive
to become its leader by appointing himself premier
in the next government
In Germany it has been the machine Of the social
democratic party that has made possible the crush
ing of the proletarian movement and the rise of
the Fascist organizations turnout the Reich. To
day it is the socialdemocrats who are doing the
pioneer work for the Fascist and the biggest cap
italist interests in a mad attempt to exterminate
the rapidly growing Communist Party.
We in the United States have not gone thru the
revolutionary crises experienced by the working
masses in many European countries. But even in
the United States as evidenced in the last cam
pagn the socialists have on several occasions, in
supporting LaFoHette, found themselves in one
camp with the Ku Klux Khan followers an Ameri-
can prototype Of European Fascism.
