•THE WAR AFTER THE WAR”
(From The National Civic Federation Review)
•All Socialists", announced Victor Berger at a meeting of tin- Chicago
branches of the Socialist Party, on November 17. 1918, "arc pro-Bolshevists
today." This is the same Berger who as long ago as 1909. in his organ, the
Social Democratic Herald, declared in favor of "a violent and bloody revolut
ion" and advised each of the Socialist voters and workingmen to provide them
selves with “a good rifle and the necessary rounds of ammunition in his home
; nd be prepared to back up his ballot with bullets if necessary." It is tho
same Berger that is under four indictments for seditious propaganda, and
boasts of them. Is it a coincidence that tie- very Socialist party leaders who
were of aid and comfort to Germany during the war should now simultane
ously in many places here come forward ns the promoters of Bolshevism?
The great pretense upon which tin* Bolsheviki agitated and shot their
uay into power was that they would giro Russia "bread and peace." No
sooner were they in control of governmental force than they quickly revealed
that it was not peace they wanted hut a world-wide war of class against class.
To buy immunity for their war of extermination in Russia itself, they made
,i shameful peace with the Germans who. in fact, were their backers. Then
their campaign of terrorization and slaughter of what they called the Rus
sian “bourgeoisie!" started and lias since grown in bitter intensity.
Uniformed people in American and other countries may fondly im
agine that these events in far-away Russia do not threaten their safety and
institutions. A greater mistake could not ho made.
Having achieved what they consider success in Russia the Bolshe
vik! and their organs (no opposition newspapers being allowed) began
threatening that they "would carry the class war into every country in tho
world". This notification should have been taken seriously, but it was not.
For years Socialists and the I. \V. \V. have beer preach1*.g the class war.
They had the design hut lacked the means. The Bolsheviki have the financial
resurces, and tin* Socialist Party spokesmen and their followers in the United
States are now boldly avowing themselves Bolshevists.
How many of our people here know that the Bolsheviki have control
of 800,000.000 rubles in gold which is part or what they found in the Russian
treasury as a reserve when they seized power? But this is by no means all.
They found also 800,000,000 francs in gold which had been transferred from
Roumania before the Revolution. In addition, they have confiscated immense
sums in private funds and appropriated great quantities of jewels and other
valuables.
Tins constitutes a campaign fund tor instigating the class war wherever
they can. “Denine is flooding the Scandinavian countries with propaganda
money, cables Basset Digby, the Stockholm correspondent of the New York
Globe and the Chicago Daily News. "‘The Bolsheviki have their own print
ing works near Berne and 10,000,000 rubles are admitted to have been placed
in the Swiss Bank to the credit of their propaganda,” cables Julian Grande,
the Berne correspondent of the New York Times. In England, Italy, France
and other countries the Bolshevik movement has suddenly sprung into wide
spread activity and shows signs of being well financed. "Wo are feverisly
awaiting the eve of the Western European Revolution,” recently exulted The
Red Army, a Bolshevist Moscow daily newspaper.
What of America? Many of the Bolshevist leaders—and the most
powerful—are men who went back from here to Russia in 1917. No obser
vant person can have failed to notice the systematic outbreak of Bolshevist
agitation here. Expensively manufactured magazines have suddenly made
their appearance. The Class Struggle, published in Brooklyn, every line of
which is a Bolshevist incitement or distortion, is an instance. Book after
book is being run off the presses. “We know,” says The Red Army, "the word
democracy is associated with the word republic only to cheat the people.”
The book writers promptly take their cue. “There is a war beneath the war,”
insists Walter E. Weyl in his recently published book. “The end of the War,”
in concluding which he says: “It will be a wider conflict than that which
now rages [the great world war], and the alignment will be by classes and
interests rather than by nations.”
From Montreal comes this Associated Press despatch: “Dumber camps
•n Canada are veritable hotbeds of Bolshevik and I. W. W. propaganda, ac
cording to the Rev. Thomas Joplin, field secretary of the Shanteymen’s
Christian Association, who has just returned from a tour of the camps. He
declares thousands of inflammatory pamphlets have been distributed in the
camps urging the workers, most of them foreigners, to resist all authority,”
"by dynamite if necessary.*’
"Wo have sent out in all directions the call of the international work
ers' revolution,” triumphantly announces J.enlne in a signed statement.
These are only a few signs of a brewing menace. All of tlx* forces «-f
civilization that do not want an unleashing of armed anarchy will do well
to reflect upon their meaning and hasten to act.

to Great Britain?" asks an anonymous muttonhead of St. Louis. The security

knightly example of self-sacrifice as the annals of the human race disclose,
