But they are proud of having won the war so that the ouse of Morgan could place Europe under tribute. This is the kind of thing that makes superficial radicals pessimistic and hopeless. They say: “The workers don't apprec- fate our sacrifices, so to hell with them.” For that kind of radical the ash can of oblivion is the proper re- ceptacle. Cae See HOSE who throw in their lot with the revolutionary movement and take the sour with the sweet in the expectation that the masses will sprinkle their path with roses are not the kind that go thru to the end. Leaders, whether in the capitalist ranks or in the rank of the working class, receive the support of those they speak for, just so long as they succeed in convincing their followers that they can serve them. © The masses may desert them when they are right and follow them when they are wrong. They may stone them while they are living and build monu- ments over their graves when they are dead. A good deal depends on the time. Had Lenin died in 1917 instead of 1923, it is probable that his mau- soleum in the Kremlin Square would not today be visited by millions of Russian worekrs and peasants. Karl Marx's grave in London is not so fre- quented. 9y4 ‘OODROW WILSON was an Amer- ican hero in 1917 and for a few years afterwards. Today Calvin Coo- lidge is the little tin god. Wilson at least was a man of intellect.” Coo- lidge’s brain could be squirted into a gnat’s eye without making the, little thing wrinkle his brow. Coolidge is the spokesman of the policies, of ‘the republican party, and in an, era of prosperity—for the rich of .course— Coolidge goes, But let capitalism find itself in a crisis and Coolidge will fade away like a set of false whiskers in a cyclone.

Trotsky once sajd that the shortest distance between. two points is a zig zag. Perhaps Trotsky. did not invent the phrase. It isa good one nevertheless. Anybody who has made a study of European polities since the war, can see that the powers, involved have been busily engaged, eyer;since trying to liquidate the results .of.the struggle. The Locarno pact. .marks a point in that effort. A war, between gations is like a fight inside a politi- cal party, magnified a millionfold, The lower the theoretical level ..of.- the party, the more necessary it is for the leaders to appeal to the prejudices of the membership in order to hold them in line, 9. @. 78 ey rulers of capitalist nations in times of war personify the leaders of the competing powers as inhuman monsters who must be crushed if the wives and daughters of “civilized” na- tions are to go their graves unsullied and pure. At least, if their virtue is tarnished the yile deed must not be done by a hated foreigner. This is the kind of stuff that made our American morons look on every German with, a jaundiced eye, Ditto for Austrians owards Italians and vice versa. Jame for all thefrest of them. But rhen the slaughter was called off, nd the capitalists sat down at ‘the ame table, drank champagne out’ of wre same bottles, smoked, Havanas out of the same box and proceeded to di- vide the spoils and pay the penalties, their main problem was how to de- louse their subjects of the prejudices with which they infested them during the war. French and British rulers can now sit together and sign a treaty shows that they have succeeded—after a fashion.
