ARTICLE a.


A DEPRESSING mood is gripping
"A the membership of the socialist
party. From within, the rows have
thinned out to such an extent that
one loses heart by just looking at
them; from without, on the election
map, it is almost completely wiped
out" This pessimistic mood is a re-
suit Of the slow death the socialist
party is undergoing. On one hand,
it is terrifying to look upon the in
evitable destruction, on the other, it
is impossible to live without hopes.
Yes not even all hopes are alike.
There are full-blooded and anaemic
ones. The socialist party hopes are
rather revery than expectation, and
where can the Oppressive burden of
time and space be eliminated, if not
in a state of revery?
THERE was time when at the
L convention of miners out of a
thousand delegates four hundred
could boast membership in the social
list party. If those members were re-
sponsible for their work before the
party, if the party were really it's
spiritual guide, the influence of such
numbers could be felt amongst the
miners.
The absolutistic reign of a Lewis
could not be possible But between
the socialist party and trade union
there has been no living bond which
could exert pressure in case of
treachery or Stacking down of a party
member. Because the socialist party
was a political vote catching machine,
it exerted no influence upon the
membership, and now the socialist
party is abandoned both by the trade
union membership and voters.
THERE is small wonder that the
L remaining members feel lost, and
that there is no way out of the state
Of paralysis, besides the hope that
the "spree" of the American people
will sometime be over.
THEs HEROLD Of this philosophy
L of WEAKNESS and fatalism is Mr..
David Berenberg. at is quite true"
he says, chat the party has in the
past gone after will-o-the-wisps in
its pursuits of the illusion success.
I have repeatedly voiced an isolated
protest against success mongering
and the higher craftsmanship in our
election campaigns.
"But / believe that even my then
antagonists in the party will balk at
success bought at the price Mr..
Client asks. At his price, why a
party? The new Tammany Hall,

Of such success"
pERENBERG hit the nail on the
- head when he says that the
higher craftsmanship in our election
campaigns and success mongering"
have been partial causes of the disin-
tegration of the socialist party, and
he rightly feels that the socialist par
ty tendencies of today lead in
to the direction of a new Local

THE ANALYSIS of the socialist
L party by one who has been all
theseyears with it and by one of the
most intelligent leaders, is yerv in
teresting. It characterizes the inner
state of affairs of the socialist party.
From his analysis we learn that the
golden age was only cheap gilt. In
his own words: "What was the party
in 1912 and in the decade that pre-
coded that year that we should so
earnestly want to resurrect those
days? True, the party grew from
1902 to 1912. Time has proved that
the growth has been spurious. 1t
brought into the movement incongru-
Gus elements, the kind of people just
~ deserving Mencken's epithets.
Quacks, uplifters, holy rollers. theo-
sophists, prohibitionists, christian
scientists, we had them all. Of course,
we lost them later. Do we want them
back? There was no essen
tial difference between the man who
in 1912 voted for Roosevelt and Will
son, and the one who voted for Debs
/ am speaking Of that body
of so-called Independent voters who
furnish the deciding factor in cleo
tions. In 1912 this voter was a pro-
gressive'. He read Wilson's speeches,
he heard Teddy's bombast, and per-
haps he listened to Debs. And he could
take his choice feeling that there was
little difference among them. There
wasn't much of the socialist in him.
Go back to 1912? To many that was
the golden age. Like all golden ages,
it turns out, on examination, to be
cheap gilt" Emphasis mine D. K.)
w HAT does this confession mean?
w That the criticism of the left
wing of the socialist party before the
split and the Communists since the
split, was correct, and Berenberg
himself, not belonging to the "incon-
gruous eleme:$s" acknowledges shat
the socialist party has not been a
proletarian party, else in the social
list party would have been no place
for "holy rollers, etc"
THE ADMISSION of Berenberg is
L even more important than his one
time anger at the Communists for
similar criticism. 1t is good that
Berenberg came to this conclusion
now, and it may be an eye opener
to those proletarian elements (few
as they be there) who believe in the
socialism of the socialist party.
D UT correct analysis does not
u necessarily mean a correct con-
clusion, for Berenberg. He is unable
to go all the distance the logic would
cad him. For instance, does he ac-
cuse the party tactics in the failure
of the socialist party as party? Of
course not. The socialist party lead

not rather read the gloriously revolt
ing details of what Mr.. Hall wrote

D ERENBERG gives in the Rand
- School a course in history from a
supposedly MARKHAM viewpoint. Yet
he regards the American working
class from standpoint of the vulgar
psychologist of an highbrow. The
rabble needs nothing besides bread
and shows. The United States offer
them one and the other, hence the
failure of the socialist party is to be
sought in the workers, and not in the
leaders.
