TRAITORS TO THEIR OWN CLASS One incomprehensible thing is the fact that while the war demands of President Wilson are identical with those of the international inter-national socialists as expressed for years before the war in their, platforms and propaganda work, this brandof socialists in every part of the world are pro-German. The demands of that organization organi-zation were for equal rights of all nations, big and little; no people peo-ple to be forced under a government under which it does net wish to live; freedom of the seas; a concert of nations to guarantee peace and justice; limitations' of armaments on land and sea. If reason or honesty had controlled those socialists as soon ns President Wilson announced hU war aims, every one of them would have come to the assistance of America und the allies. That organization pretends that it is a working man's ' organization, organi-zation, while it resists Ibis war for the freeing. of the working-man working-man of every nation. If Germany wins, this nation will hive to keep r.n immense standing army, support the largest navy in the world ar.d impose a taxation so heavy, that it will reduce the standard of living of every working man in the ecountry. There will be no escape from that, and jet this organization is doing all it can to bring.it about. They are traitors to their own principles prin-ciples and to their own class.
