Show .Government by Blocs Leads to Class War, of AD Conflicts Most Cruel By COL. It. W. STEWART, Address' at Coe Coll.gs. Government by blocs, carried to its ultimate conclusion, leads to but one destination class war, of all conflicts the most cruel, ruthless and destructive. The bloc system is designed to favor a minority, a certain class, regardless of the effect upon the majority. It is history that no bloc or class has ever maintained itself in power for any length of time in any nation without resort to militarism and confiscation. The average advocate of syndicalism, communism and associated revolutionaryisms and I do not exclude socialism is at heart a shirker, whether he be of the study or soapbox, lie aims at equality of reward. He would rob the children of the frugal to recompense the offspring of the profligate. The so-called intellectual of the pessimistic red variety contemplates the dreadful spectacle of a man earning his living by the sweat of his brow. He suffers vicariously for the man who must work to live. lis dreams of Utopia where no man would have to work, or, at least, where there would be but little work to do. He prates of relieving what he is pleased to call the proletariat of the dreadful necessity for work, blissfully careless of the biological fact that it was this 6ome necessity for work which raised man from a situation situa-tion of savagery to his present estate. |
