A SLAVE SHIP

1t is said by an English writer
that on the slave ships, in their
frenzy, some of the slaves killed
others in the hopes of procuring
more room to breathe, so crowded
were the ships. Men strangled those
next to them, and women drove
nails into each others brains.

"are not interested in trying to make

as near Fascist themselves in their
treatment Of workingmen who cry
out against the war. Alfred Baker
Lewis took issue with him, telling
the delegates, "You have been fed
inaccurate statements If you have
been told that France and England
are Fascist"
Time Cuts Debate Short.
The debate was shortened be-
cause the news was brought to the
delegates at 4:45 pm. that the
auditorium In which they were
meeting, which they had thought
was theirs until 6:l5 pm. had 70
be surrendered at $50 pm.
The problem Of when to open the
Socialists campaign cente-ed around
the problem 81 getting the. Socialist
ticket on the ballot of as many
States as possible. According to
q report. there Is q possibility of
the party getting on the ballot in
November in 30 States, with IL Of
these States doubtful.
The opportunities for getting on
the ballot" Frank Trager Of New
York told the convention, ARE con-
stantly being circumscribed by the
Republicans and Democrats. This
is an undemocratic move" Florida
he described as almost q "totau-
tartan" State because it permits
only one party, the Democratic. to
be represented on the ballot.
Kreuger Temporary Chairman.
The convention opened at 10 am.
with the election Of DR.. Kreuger as
temporary chairman for the day,
and Samuel H. Freedman Of New
York, temporary vice chairman. DR..
Kreuger delivered his keynote ad-
dress, calling for socialization of in
dustry as the antidote to contem-
porary economic ills, reflected
chiefly in unemployment.
III there Is one thing we ought
to know" he said, ut is that unem-
ployment and democracy cannot
live together. No country in the
world has ever been able to main
tain democracy In the face of pro-
longed, large-scale unemployment.
The price Of democracy Is pros
perity.

should be clear by this time, 1t is
that We cannot have unemploy-

the Communists than the Demo-
Gratis. The Communists own anti
war stand has put the Socialists in
the embarrassing position of having
as their bed-fellows the radical fol-
lowers Of Karl Marx whom the So
cialist Marxists dislike apparently
with even more vigor than they do
the capitalists.
All day, whatever the issue under
discussion, the Communists re-
ceived more brickbats than the capi-
talists, although DR.. Kruger, whose
eloquence was the greatest exhibited
during the day by party whose
members are often eloquent, OBJ
served in his keynote address:
The capitalist system in its old
age has developed a serious case
of hardening OF the arteries. 1t is
no longer able to expand"
Anti-war Ideals Clash.
The core of the issue over the
problem Of adopting an official at
titude toward the war lay in two
contrary considerations: /. It is
fundamentally an imperialist war,
with both sides fighting for causes
inimical to the interest of the work.
ing man; 2. 1t is war by two allies
at least family democratic against
the spread of totalitarianism which
means the "enslavement of the pro-
letariat."
Aaron Levinson of New York
summarized the anti-war position
which the delegates ultimately voted
to support. He urged answering
loyalty to the slogan, Keep America
Out of War" He added that I'VE
who would keep America out OF
military war must, If we are to Sue
coed, first keep America out Of the
economic war;"
q. I'm these days Of totalitarian
war" Mr.. Levinson said, I'VE cannot
wage partial war or choose what
kind of war we will make; we can
not determine to give economic aid
to one side and fight the economic
war without becoming involved in
the military war as well-any more
than we could determine to parti-
cipate In land war but not in sea
war, or participate in exchanges
Of rife fire but not artillery"
Recalls Eugene Debs.
In support if his philosophy, Mr..
Levinson harked back to Eugene
Debs, the Socialist leader before
Evening star., 1940-04-07

could only bring new tyranny, that
capitalist nations at war might
destroy the Kaisers only to bring on
the Hitlers and Mussolinis.
Fears War Perih Freedom.
"And similarly We recognize that
this war, ostensibly aimed at the
institution of Fascisn, can bear
only bitter fruit for lovers Of free
dom the world over. Yes, we hate,
we loathe, we despise Fascists and
FasciSm. We have no earthly use
for the Fascists Of Germany and
not one particle more use for the
Fascists of the United States.
Our war Is one that must be
waged within .and beyond the
boundaries Of nations; it is the
war Of labor seeking to free itself
from the grip Of q worldwide eco
nomic system that brings breadlines
In peacetime and Maginot lines
in wartime"
When Mr.. Levinson completed his
address, Is or 80 delegates on the
fringe Of the auditorium raised high,
as If by a signal. q number Of hand
kerchief-sized bits of cloth, each
bearing an anti-war slogan:
Starve the War!
No M-Day.
Jobs Not Guns.
Wipe Out War.
Socialism Means Peace.
In stating the opposition to Mr..
Levinson's view, Lazar Becker of
New York cried out: -
1T is. not enough to say we do
not want Hitler to win. It is i'm
portant to act to make it impossible
for Hitler to win"
Sees Socialist Cause Aided.
For Mr.. Becker. the adoption of
what Mr.. Debs said in 1917 to fit a
problem Of 1910 was "reactionary"
step. He granted that the present
war is an imperialist war" But he
found the whole world endangered
by totalitarianism as result of the
alliance of Russia with Germany.
The strain Of war, he felt, would
hasten the Socialist revolution in
the totalitarian countries. He said
he was not for the victory of Eng
land and France but for the defeat
of Germany.
Should the war end with the
capitalist governments still in power
in. England and France" Mr.. Becker
said, "the English and the French
working masses will still be of great
help to the German revolution. The
revolutionary wave undoubtedly will
sweep across the frontiers. No capi-
talist peace will give security to the
world. Only Socialist peace will
make future wars impossible"

The Socialist convention, which Is

issues around which the campaign

United States attitude toward the
war; second, the Governments at
