Conclave," Says New York Times

probably by the same writer, we find
the Times definition of socialist &C
tivity' neatly stated In dealing with
the role of the Social Democratic
Party since the 1918 revolution and
the first government headed by the
Social-Democrat ebert as Pres,
Scheidemann as Chancellor, and
Noske as Minister of Defense, etc. !,
the Times declares.
"The revolutionary regime which
came into power after the Arnis-
tice was moderation itself; SO
much so that most outsiders have
said it did not deserve to be called
revolution. 1t did not proclaim
class war, but on the contrary
crushed, by force of arms, Commu
mist efforts to let loose class war.
THE Marxians Tread Social
Democrats-A.T.) did not set UP a
guillotine. They did not confiscate
private property. They paid in
demnity to the former kings and
princes. They retained the old i'm
perial flag as the commercial flag
and tolerated Its use in other fields.
''The Marxians paid honor to
the figures of the old regime like
Hindenburg and Stressemann who
were wiling to be friends. They
waged a patriotic campaign against
the French in the Ruhr. They re-
tanned the old civil service person.

German Socialists Betray Workers
In other words, the Social-Demo-
Gratis, although coming to power
through the Revolution of the work
ers and soldiers who drove out the
Kaiser and established Workers and
Soldiers Councils, did nothing to up
root the old order, but on the con-
tr2ry, organized a most savage on
slaUght on the masses who fought to
consolidate the gains of the Revolu-
ton. When under the leadership of
the revolutionary Socialist organiza-
ton, the Spartacus Bund-the fore
runner of the Communist Party-the
masses came out into the streets to
fight against counter-revolution
which was raising it's head, the So
cial-Democratic government with
the aid OF the KaiSer's military clique
and ether dark elements whom it left
unmolested, crushed with force Of
arms the Communist efforts to let
loose class war;" as the Times testi-
fies. Letting loose class war" is the
Tines way of saying that the reYo-
lutionary workers, led by the Com
wished to carry the revolu-
ton forward TO accomplish precisely
the things which the Times says the
SD. Government would not do, so
that no vestige of the capitalist or
der remained, just as the Bolsheviks
did in Russia following their revolu-
ton year earlier. 1t was the terror
Of Noske's black legions and the
massacre Ct thousands of German
revolutionary workers including their
militant leaders. Karl Liebknecht
and Rosa Luxembourg that made pos
sible the Weimar period of class col
liberation, begun and maintained
under the aegis OF the Social-Demo-
cratic Party, which served as a tran
sition period to the present open

burg.
The Times approves of the record
of the German Socialists and credits
the American Socialists with playing
the same role of opposition to the
revolutionary tasks of the American
working class.
