<p style="text-align: center;">SOCIAL WORKERS TO CENSOR SHOWS</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Decide at City Club Conference to Support Police in Abating Theater Evils.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">EXPERT INQUIRY URGED.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Will Ask Investigation of Amusements Where Children Are Admitted.</p>
<p>Settlement workers and other sociologists will assist the police squad of dramatic critics under Lieut. Alexander McDonald, which has established a censorship over 5 cent theaters, penny arcades, and other cheap amusement resorts where juveniles are taught depravity.</p>
<p>It was decided to appoint a committee of ten or more men or women interested in reform work to supplement efforts of the police at a conference of the City Club yesterday afternoon.</p>
<p>S. C. Kingsley, president of the Relief and Aid Society, will name this committee within a day or two. Lieut. McDonald, who attended the meeting, thought it would be a good thing.</p>
<p>The conference took no action regarding an ordinance forbidding children under 14 years old to attend the theaters. Judge Julian W. Mack of the Juvenile court, who presided, thought that 12 years might be made the limit, and Miss Jane Addams of Hull House wasn't in favor of the ordinance at all. So the measure will be left to the judgment of the committee.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Decline in Wild Films.</p>
<p>From the film companies that supply the material for the moving pictures the information came in the afternoon that the crusade inaugurated by THE TRIBUNE and seconded by the police had resulted in a great falling off in the local demand for sensational pictures of the objectionable class.</p>
<p>The objects of the conference, as outlined in the beginning, were as follows:</p>
<p>A committee to cooperate with Chief Shippy's censoring bureau.</p>
<p>To recommend the passage of an ordinance prohibiting the attendance of young children at 5 cent theaters unaccompanied by parents or guardians.</p>
<p>To recommend that the administration make an expert investigation of the whole problem of issuing licenses to places of amusement where children are admitted, including a system of regulation, record, and report.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Social Workers Are Present.</p>
<p>Among those present were Mrs. Gertrude Howe Britton of Hull House; Graham Taylor of the Chicago Commons; Lester W. Bodine, superintendent of compulsory education; Miss Minnie Law of the Bureau of Public Service; T. D. Hurley, president of the Visitation and Aid Society; Mrs. R. B. Ennis, probationary officer of Evanston; T. C. MacMillan, president of the Children's Helping Society; George Hooker, secretary of the City Club; Allen T. Burns; the Rev. Herman [Page]; and fifteen or twenty others.</p>
<p>Somebody introduced the ordinance prohibiting children from attending theaters, and it at once provoked a debate.</p>
<p>"I am not in favor of it," said Miss Addams. "We already have too many ordinances that are not enforced. What is needed is regulation of the theaters. They are useful in providing a place of amusement for those who cannot go to the regular theaters and can be made instructive. Police regulation, supplemented by the efforts of a citizen's committee, will overcome any evil influences."</p>

The transcription of the document
<p align="center">Trinity in Disgrace. -- America's Opportunity.</p>
<p>In our last issues of last term we recorded the fact that the Hon. Bertrand Russell had been fined £100 under the [Defense] of the Realm Act as the writer of a leaflet on the case of a certain conscientious objector. Shortly after the end of term the Council of Trinity College refused, in view of this verdict, to allow Mr. Russell to reside in the College, or to deliver his lectures this year on mathematical logic. Mr. Russell's Cambridge belongings were therefore exposed for sale, and the wherewithal to pay the fine of £100 being thus provided, their owner was thus in popular parlance unceremoniously hoofed out!</p>
<p>With the further aspects of the persecution, the refusal by the Foreign Office of a passport to Mr. Russell to Harvard, where he had been appointed to a lectureship, and the War Office Order forbidding him to enter any prohibited area without special permission, we are not here concerned. Mr. Russell has issued a personal statement which may be obtained from the National Council for Civil Liberties, 22, Bride Lane, E.C., who are taking an interest in the public side of his case. What concerns us in Cambridge is the purely academic side of the matter, as seen in the extraordinary action of the Trinity Council, which, as will be clear from what follows, threatens permanently to deprive the University of the services of one who is very widely regarded as the greatest philosopher of modern times. There are no doubt some who can contemplate such a possibility with equanimity, when they consider the nature of the struggle in which the nation is engaged. But to others, and to the younger generation in Cambridge in particular, the ideals for which we have declared ourselves to be fighting have not yet been completely lost sight of, even in the hour of victory. And that Trinity of all places should have wantonly proved false to the traditions of tolerance and freedom for which Cambridge had hitherto stood in the eyes of the world, is beyond all things disheartening.</p>
<p align="center">WHAT BRINGS ME HERE?</p>
<p>What do the younger members of Trinity on active service think of the action of the elderly gentleman who represent them before the world on the Council of their College? Their views are only too little known; but, even so, the following expressions of opinion are available: --</p>
<p>In a letter dated from H.M.S. "Centaur," Mr. Hilton Young asks "What brings me here? -- the desire that England should remain, and that Europe should become, a place in which the Russells which Fate grants us from time to time should be free to stimulate and annoy us unpersecuted. ... That Trinity should gratuitously number itself amongst the persecutors, this is more discouraging than a German victory."</p>
<p>And again: --</p>
<p>Mr. D. S. Robertson writing from France as "a Fellow and Lecturer of Trinity absent on Military Service," says: -- "The Court found that Mr. Russell's action was illegal; but the Council of Trinity College were free to judge whether or not it was [dishonorable]. Their refusal to draw such a distinction seems to me an inexpressible disaster to tolerance and liberty."</p>
<p align="center">EVEN OXFORD!</p>
<p>Such examples could be multiplied without end from private sources, but let us pass to an Oxford verdict. In a letter to the <em>Nation</em> of September 23, Professor Gilbert Murray, who has by no means concealed his patriotism under a bushel since August, 1914, says: "My first impression on hearing of the course the Council had taken <em>was to treat the story as incredible</em>." The italics are ours -- for the times are indeed out of joint when Oxford can give Cambridge a dig in the ribs as the home of intolerance and irrationalism.</p>
<p align="center">ROLL OF [HONOR].</p>
<p>It may be of interest to future generations if we print here the names of the gentlemen who constitute the Trinity Council. They are as follows: --</p>
<p>The Master (Rev. H. Montagu Butler, D.D.).</p>
<p>The Vice-Master (Prof. Henry Jackson, Litt.D., O.M.).</p>
<p>Rev. Professor V. H. Stanton, D.D.</p>
<p>H. M. Taylor, F.R.S.</p>
<p>J. McT. E. McTaggart, Litt.D., F.B.A.</p>
<p>Rev. R. St. J. Parry, D.D.</p>
<p>J. D. Duff.</p>
<p>R. V. Laurence.</p>
<p>F. J. Dykes.</p>
<p>H. McLeod Innes.</p>
<p>W. W. R. Ball.</p>
<p>G. T. Lapsley.</p>
<p>It would seem probable that Mr. Lapsley was absent on the occasion of the decision, though whether he would have been in agreement with his colleagues we are unable to say. Nor is it certain as to whether the decision was completely unanimous. At any rate none of the gentlemen named have expressed any public disagreement with the policy.</p>
<p align="center">A FRENCH VIEW OF THE MATTER.</p>
<p>Meanwhile the affair has been noised abroad throughout the [civilized] world. The following is a verbatim translation of an article by M. Jean Nicod, which appeared in <em>Le Journal du Peuple</em> of September 13th. (The asterisks are the work of the French censor).</p>
<p>"The name and work of Mr. Bertrand Russell are well known to philosophers and men of learning in all lands. Like Leibniz, Russell is both a mathematician and a logician; and frequently, in his book on the philosophy of Leibniz 'the interpreter' -- to quote the philosopher M. Lévy-Bruhl -- vies with his author in subtlety, and, I venture to say, is of sufficient stature to warrant the rivalry." Louis Couturat, speaking of Russell's contributions to mathematics, in a transport of admiration, called it -- in the words of Thucydides -- 'an acquisition for ever.' Then, last year, Columbia University awarded Russell the gold medal in recognition of his work as a whole. And this is the philosopher who, in the tumult of the passions of the hour, has just been deprived of the chair which he held at the University of Cambridge.</p>
<p>"I can picture him now, as I saw him for the first time three years ago, ensconced in that ancient college whence the war has driven him. Towards the close of a December afternoon I entered his book-lined study, which was lit up by a large fire. Some of his Cambridge friends, a young American mathematician (his pupil) and myself were present. Russell had just finished [page 2] making tea. His finely cut, aristocratic profile was almost lost to view in the depths of an immense armchair; he was talking animatedly of the new branch of learning, to whose foundation his researches have so largely contributed. The lamp and the glow of the fire lit up his remarkable face -- a face whose every line suggested subtleties and great discoveries. His conversation gave food for amusement and reflection. It had that indefinable acridity which always arrests our attention when reason is the dominant note. A small portrait of Leibniz stood between two silver candlesticks on the [mantelpiece]. As if by some sudden spell, the mind was borne back to the time of the Republic of Letters. We were citizens of Europe -- no less. This aristocratic mathematician -- he is the brother of Lord Russell, and the name he bears is one ancient and [honored] in England -- is famed throughout the world of learning. Russell, together with the German Frege and the Italian Peano, has created a new conception of mathematics. He is the youngest of the three, and his work is the most constructive and the most fully developed. Far along the path which Leibniz had dimly perceived, despite our imperfect perspective, their achievement stands out as one of the great triumphs of reason -- a triumph scarce hoped for.</p>
<p>"While he was lecturing on the principles of mathematics at Cambridge, Russell had turned his clear brain to philosophy, and he had just published his first researches in this new field. He had already expounded these results in a course of lectures at the great American University of Harvard. We have seen him a mathematician like Leibniz, a logician like his great forerunner, but it has been left to the war to complete the parallel by revealing yet a third aspect common to both. Bertrand Russell, like Leibniz, is a great European.</p>
<p>"The war stirs this famous thinker to the depths of his soul uncovering that moral foundation which years of scientific [labor] have slowly built up within him.</p>
<p align="center">* * * * *</p>
<p>"This specialist in the purest branch of pure reason is careful to avoid assigning too important a role to thought. His writings reveal a precise and adequate doctrine of the practical application of reason. Already in his work in logic, reason is allotted the task of disentangling, illuminating, and widening, but not that of making decisions. And this conception is embodied in Russell's reflections on the war. 'The fundamental facts in the question of war, as in all ethical problems, are feelings. All that thought can do is to clarify and [harmonize] the expression of those feelings.' And it is with doing this that Bertrand Russell is concerned in all his studies of the war, for in them we find a delicate and accurate psychological analysis of the forces which make for war and peace. These articles on ethics and politics are, by their simplicity and earnestness, not unworthy of their author's renown. Russell detests the spirit of which the German Emperor is, as it were, sign or symbol. 'As for the Kaiser, ever since I first began to know Germany, twenty years ago, I have abominated him. I have consistently regarded him, and now I regard him as one of the sources of evil in the world.' ...</p>
<p align="center">* * * * *"</p>
<p>Next let us turn to the United States.</p>
<p align="center">"A SUCCESSOR TO PROFESSOR ROYCE."</p>
<p>Under this title appears an article, which reaches us as we go to press, in the <em>Springfield Republican</em>, one of the most influential dailies in America -- dated September 21. The article alludes to an announcement in the <em>Boston Herald</em>, which it describes as "somewhat premature," to the effect that Mr. Russell will be chosen to succeed Josiah Royce as Alford professor of natural religion, moral philosophy and civil polity at Harvard.</p>
<p>The <em>Republican</em> then refers to Mr. Russell's "accomplishments in the realm of mathematical theory and metaphysics," and to the fact that in any case he should have been lecturing in Harvard this winter; and continues: --</p>
<p>"As is widely known, Mr. Russell is at present detained in England by the authorities, having caused himself to be fined by writing a pamphlet urging {<em>sic</em>} resistance to military service. In other ways, highly discreditable to England, he is being made a victim of official stupidity or malice. In fact, he will not be able to fill his engagement at Harvard unless the authorities receive a sudden and unexpected endowment of common sense. But the connection between Mr. Russell's appointment as a lecturer at Harvard and his being selected to fill the Alford professorship must be left for the <em>Boston Herald</em> to explain. Professor Royce died on Thursday. On Friday the <em>Herald</em> was informed that Prof. Royce's successor had already been chosen. When President Lowell was communicated with at his summer home in Cotuit, he said, 'I must decline to discuss it (the appointment), owing to my rule not to talk at random about official matters to the newspapers. The present moment hardly seems to me suitable for such an announcement.'"</p>
<p align="center">ABESSET QUI FECIT.</p>
<p>It would indeed appear only too likely that America will seize the opportunity afforded by the action of the elders of Trinity to appropriate the New Realism and thereby finally rid European thought in the twentieth century of one of its few claim to originality and profundity. There may be limits to the patriotism even of Mr. Russell, and it is quite possible that one day he may be driven to throw up the struggle for British liberty and desert us for more hospitable climes.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">STATEMENT OF MISS JANE ADDAMS, OF CHICAGO, ILL.</p>
<p>Miss ADDAMS. Mr. Chairman, I wish to speak in regard to the same clause which has been so ably spoken about already [today], the last clause of section 3, on page 9, and I wanted to ask some questions in regard to that.</p>
<p>I am president of the Woman's Peace Party of America, and we believe very strongly that the present international situation which faces the United States will, in the end, by solved by some sort of international solution.</p>
<p>If, feeling as we do, and some of us hold that belief with a fervor which comes very near to a religious fervor, if we feel that the only successful moral outcome possible from this war is to utilize the tremendous position of the United States, and utilize that international position which we now hold to get some sort of international point of view on the questions over which the world is now at war. Can we go forth and say that, and can we say that this war will be fought in vain, unless at the end there is some international apparatus, some international machinery for taking up these questions?</p>
<p>Of course, as the war is discussed by these people, Englishmen and Frenchmen, by the men who are trying to get at the causes of the war, we know that it is not in quarrels between nations, or the situations which arise out of the changing years.</p>
<p>There has arisen the idea that any change can only be adjusted when men meet in some sort of international mind. We believe the creation of some sort of international mind would be a great contribution of the United States to the history and development of the world. Are we at liberty to go out and say that?</p>
<p>Can we say, in time of war, if such a bill as is proposed is passed -- we do not wish to talk against war in time of war -- we do believe, in spite of fighting, that in the end the things must be settled upon some other point of view than a pure nationalistic point of view. Are we at liberty to say that or not?</p>
<p>I happen also to be chairman of an international organization of women. We have representatives from 20 different countries: all of the countries at war save Japan is represented in the organization, and the women met, and hope to meet again, but in the meantime there is a great deal of correspondence going on. Our correspondence, naturally, is not for the purpose of abusing each other or each other's religions, or to talk about war.</p>
<p>We have a provision in our constitution prohibiting the discussion of that question, but we do discuss a great international program which we hope can be discussed in all our separate nations, and we hope that the women, after the war, can come together with regard to this international program. Is such action permissible, or is it such a thing as will cause disaffection among the military or naval forces of the United States?</p>
<p>Certainly, we are law-abiding citizens, although we are [sometimes] called hard names. I think no one could say seriously that we were not law-abiding, and we do not wish to do anything that is not according to law.</p>
<p>At the same time, it would be very difficult for us to understand that we should stop the preaching of an international point of view, of an international method to approach the settlement of the great questions which are now barring the way to peace, which must, in the end, be settled from an international policy and spirit. It will be hard for us to stop saying that.</p>
<p>The CHAIRMAN. I do not think there is any doubt about your having the right to say those things.</p>
<p>Miss ADDAMS. Then the wording of the bill has been modified, has it not?</p>
<p>The CHAIRMAN. I do not know in what respect. What section do you refer to.</p>
<p>Miss ADDAMS. The last clause of section 3, chapter 2.</p>
<p>The CHAIRMAN. Your action would not willfully cause disaffection? You would not willfully do that?</p>
<p>Miss ADDAMS. No; we would not do that.</p>
<p>The CHAIRMAN. The language as present is "willfully cause or attempt to cause disaffection in the military or naval forces of the United States."</p>
<p>Miss ADDAMS. We will try to substitute some other method of approach to the international situation than that of the war.</p>
<p>There is just one other thing. I was in England during the first year of the war, and very soon after the defense of the realm act had been passed, which is the counterpart of this bill. If you will permit me to say so, I think there is a certain spirit of imitation in the United States at the present moment. The other countries have passed these acts and we are going to war, or are in war, and we, too, are doing some of these things. [page 2]</p>
<p>At any rate, the defense of the realm act had been passed shortly before I went to England. We had peace meetings, over which members of the Parliament presided. They were held openly, and yet every time such a peace meeting was held, the men who took part in them said that technically those meetings could have been stopped. Since such meetings have been stopped.</p>
<p>The men were much averse to putting themselves in such a position, and they said they were lawmakers, and it was very unfair to put them in a position of technically breaking the law.</p>
<p>I do not think we are too law-abiding in this country, as a whole, and I think to push our law ahead of the moral consent of the people, and make a law which would be against the moral impulse of a large number of people, would be a great detriment to the development of this country.</p>
<p>Of course, we are all anxious that this war, now that it has been declared, should be waged as a republic only can wage war, and that it should have in it those elements of moral sanction, the actual participation of a man's mind and spirit as well as his bodily presence in the ranks, which will cause the hastening of complete peace, and that can only come through the fullest discussion.</p>
<p>There are a number of men and women all over the country who are quite as alarmed over the moral damage done by a war waged as this one seems to start to be, with all possible imitation of Old World methods, as they are afraid of the damage to our actual physical resources.</p>
<p>Mr. DYER. Does your organization oppose compulsory military service?</p>
<p>Miss ADDAMS. We have taken no action on that, but so long as the question is before Congress we are opposing it.</p>
<p>Mr. DYER. If Congress should act, and pass favorably on universal military service, do you think your organization would then, at its meetings, continue to oppose that principle?</p>
<p>Miss ADDAMS. I think we would have nothing to do with the anti-enlistment efforts, but I think as a public measure, we should agitate against compulsory military service.</p>
<p>Mr. DYER. Before such a bill would become a law, but would you do that after it becomes a law? If it became a law, would you still agitate against it? I understood you to say you are not in a position to state what action your organization would take.</p>
<p>Miss ADDAMS. I am continually agitating against laws. I am at the present time agitating against pernicious liquor laws. I think we would have the right to agitate against existing law which we would consider to be against public policy.</p>
<p>Mr. DYER. The reason I asked you that is because some people have intimated that under the terms of this bill they thought they might be precluded from doing that.</p>
<p>Miss ADDAMS. We would not be so precluded, under the civil arrangements, unless there were some particular military necessity.</p>

<div style="text-align: right;">Washington, D.C.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">April 16, 1917.</div>
<div>The President of the United States,</div>
<div>The White House, Washington, D.C.</div>
<p>Dear Mr. President: --</p>
<p>We are deeply concerned lest America, having declared a state of war, should sacrifice certain safeguards fundamental to the life of her democracy.</p>
<p>Several bills are now before Congress, or may come before it, seeking to punish those who designedly use military information for the benefit of foreign governments.</p>
<p>With this purpose we, of course, are entirely sympathetic, but the administration of such laws, purposely made comprehensive, so as to include a wide range of possible offenders, may easily lend itself to the suppression of free speech, free assemblage, popular discussion and criticism.</p>
<p>We believe that you would deem it essential, perhaps more at this time than at any other, that the truth should not be withheld, or concealed from the American people whose interests after all are the most vital consideration.</p>
<p>Even by this time, we have seen evidence of the breaking down of immemorial rights and privileges. Halls have been refused for public discussion; meetings have been broken up; speakers have been arrested and censorship exercised, not to prevent the transmission of information to enemy countries, but to prevent the free discussion by American citizens of our own problems and policies. As we go on, the inevitable psychology of war will manifest itself with increasing danger, not only to individuals but to our cherished institutions. It is possible that the moral damage to our democracy in this war may become more serious than the physical or national losses incurred.</p>
<p>What we ask of you, Mr. President, whose utterances at this time must command the earnest attention of the country, is to make an impressive statement that will reach, not only the officials of the federal government scattered throughout the union, but the officials of the several states and of the cities, towns and villages of the country, reminding them of the peculiar obligation devolving upon all Americans in this war to uphold in every way our constitutional rights and liberties. This will give assurance that in attempting to administer war-time laws, the spirit of democracy will not be broken. Such a statement sent throughout the country would reinforce your declaration that this is a war for democracy and liberty. It is only because this matter seems of paramount public importance that we venture to bring it to you at this time for your attention.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Very sincerely yours,</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">Lillian D. Wald [signed]</p>

<p>Otto P. Schwarzschild, The Hargrave, 112 W. 72nd St., N.Y.C.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">June 8th, 1917.</p>
<p>To the Editor:</p>
<p>Dear Sir:</p>
<p>For humanity sake I request your assistance in the following matter which is of vital interest to many of your readers:</p>
<p>Many families in the U.S. have had no news from close relatives living in the territory of the Central Powers or vice versa since Great Britain interfered with the mail. Can you imagine the mental agony of parents who have had no news whatsoever from their children since the war started or what a daily worry it is for a wife who has not heard from her husband since 1914? Such unfortunate parties live in large numbers among us. Some of them are U.S. Citizens but in this case it is entirely immaterial of what nationality the parties are.</p>
<p>They can easily be delivered of their intense anxiety, especially as the U.S. is not a neutral power any more, and Great Britain would now accept American censorship of family messages to and from parties living in the territory of the Central Powers.</p>
<p>I, therefore, suggest that a special office should immediately be established in Washington for the assistance of the free and prompt exchange of personal messages with parties residing in the territory of the Central Powers. This department should publish in the newspapers its purpose and copy several times all messages received and censored, and forward the copies separately in Embassy bags to our representatives in Switzerland, Sweden and Holland for transmission through a neutral Embassy to the Embassies of Germany in these countries. As the censored messages will take several weeks for transmittance spy work will be impossible in connection with these messages.</p>
<p>Such an arrangement will cost money but the U.S. has always been generous where it is a matter of humanity, and where untold agony can be stopped no effort and expense should be spared.</p>
<p>When the war broke out, I, a United States citizen, offered my services to the American Embassy at Berlin. While working at the American Embassy, we received thousands of personal messages through our Embassy at London from parties residing in Great Britain for transmission to relatives in Germany. The help which we gave to relatives living in enemy countries to communicate with each other was the finest work of charity one can conceive. I shall never forget the expression of relief and the tears of gratitude of a lady, when I informed her that her daughter in London was well and had moved to a respectable and well meaning family. You can imagine the pleasure of families in Great Britain when they heard through our intermediary that their relatives in Germany were well taken care of. [page 2]</p>
<p>I have heard that the Red Cross at Geneva, Switzerland has a few times [transmitted] messages. If the Red Cross at Geneva should undertake to do this work on a large scale, I think the U.S. should make the necessary arrangements and could assist by accepting the messages in Washington, censoring and duplicating them there, and forwarding them equitably in the Embassy Pouches to Geneva, so that we may be sure they reach their destination.</p>
<p>I have written to Mr. Robert Lansing, Secretary of State, regarding a personal message which I wish to have forwarded to Germany, but so far I have received no reply. By the Swiss Legation in Washington I was informed that same could not accept messages for transmission to Germany.</p>
<p>A satisfactory working arrangement for the exchange of messages between relatives, no matter to what nationality the same may belong, can be made, and should be made, and if it has been tried and the attempt has not been a success then the public should be informed of the results through the daily newspapers. I am sure that it will do no harm to our country if the public has full knowledge of all that has been done and is intended to do in the matter. If previous attempts by our government have been a success another effort should be made.</p>
<p>Hoping that above will receive your kind consideration and that your effort to relieve the anxiety of thousands of inhabitants of all countries will meet with full and immediate success, I am,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Yours very truly,</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">OTTO P. SCHWARZSCHILD.</p>

<p>Miss Jane Addams</p>
<p>Dear Miss Addams</p>
<p>I am taking the liberty of sending you an article to see whether it strikes you, as it does me, that its publication might help to soften the hatred that just now is being poured on the head of our supposed arch enemy. Probably your mail is censored [page 2] in this land of liberty and you may not get it. I have been careful not to say so too plainly but it seems to me that [W--] has always opposed the pan-German party -- moreover that that party, though very rabid, was small and on the defensive previously to the war. I wonder if the article will give you that impression. Why otherwise should Bernhardi's book be spoken of as brave? [page 3]</p>
<p>I sent the article to the Atlantic but they have invented an excuse for not taking it. I had not expected them to be so polite. I should much appreciate any advice from you.</p>
<p>I had the pleasure of meeting you once at the Dublin Club.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Yours very truly</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">Ernest F Henderson</p>
<p>P.S. I have sometimes wished we had the habit of publishing pamphlets & securing their circulation.</p>

<div>Miss Jane Addams</div>
<div>Hull House</div>
<div>Chicago, Ill.</div>
<p>Dear Miss Addams:</p>
<p>It is not finally settled, but the chances are strongly for my going to England and France by the end of next week. Tonight I am going to Washington to see the Red Cross people in regard to getting in touch with relief and reconstruction work in France.</p>
<p>Mr. [Angell] who is here says that it is not possible to carry any letters, although letters of introduction might be an exception. I think the same purpose might be gained if you would give [me] the names and addresses of people whom I should see, with a line or so about who they are and what they stand for -- and what I could probably gain from talking with them. This descriptive matter could be eliminated and I could take with me just the names and addresses.</p>
<p>[We] published an article by Norman Thomas last week on the Conscientious Objectors, their make-up as a group, the things they stand for, and the things they will do. It is one of a series of articles on the social impacts of mobilization which I talked over with you and Mr. Devine at Long Beach; and with Mr. Devine and Prof. Taylor at Pittsburgh. In view of the espionage act I put it in the hands of Mr. Smyth who [revises?]<span> </span>articles for us from the libel standpoint, asking him if it was illegal at any point. He said no, but that he was violently opposed to publishing it. He is a member of our board, and this is the first case of applying the principles of scope, etc., which was up [page 2] last spring. I took the matter up with Mr. DeForest, and while he would not have gotten the article for the Survey -- thinking it more appropriate for the Atlantic Monthly, and incidentally worth printing in the Atlantic Monthly -- he was not at all disposed to consider it an issue, and left me to deal with Mr. Smyth individually. I am not a conscientious objector, but am in entire agreement with Mr. Thomas that our government policy towards them should be at least as liberal as that of England after three years of war. Moreover, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">the</span> we should give a hearing, however I [fall] to a competent spokesman of them like Mr. Thomas. So I [am] quite prepared to stand or fall on the inclusion of this article. It is really a remarkable one.</p>
<p>I hope that your family matters are not such as will add to your burdens at this time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Sincerely,</p>

The transcription of the document
<p>A Letter Written by Rosa [Luxemburg] to [Sophie] Liebknecht, from Breslau Prison, in December 1917.</p>
<p>It is a year now that Karl lies in the Luckau. I have often thought of it this month. And exactly a year ago you were with me in Wronke; shared your beautiful Christmas tree with me. I had one procured for me this year, but they brought me a dreadfully shabby one, with branches missing, -- no comparison with last year's. I don't know how I shall arrange on it the eight little candles I have acquired.</p>
<p>It is my third Christmas in my cell, -- but don't take it tragically. I am as calm and joyous as ever. Last night I lay awake a long time, -- I can never sleep nowadays before one o'clock, but have to be in bed by ten, -- then dream all sorts of things in the darkness.</p>
<p>Yesterday, then, I thought how remarkable it is, that I live always in a joyous intoxication, without any particular reason. So, for instance, I lie here in the dark cell on a mattress hard as stone. About me in [the] building reigns the usual deathly stillness. One imagines oneself entombed. A light-spot, from [the] lantern which burns before the prison all night long, patterns itself on the ceiling. Now and then I hear the muffled vibration of a train passing in the distance; or, very near, beneath the window, the throaty cough of the guard, as he takes half a dozen slow steps in his heavy boots, to ease his stiff legs. The sand crunches so hopelessly under this footfall, that the whole desolation and inescapability of existence ring through the damp dark night.</p>
<p>So I lie alone, quietly, wrapped in the manifold black sheath of winter, -- the darkness, the boredom, the unfreedom, [of] it, -- and yet my heart beats with an unknown, incomprehensible, inner joy, as though I walked through meadows in radiant sunlight. And in the darkness I lie smiling on life, as though I knew some secret charm which would give the lie to everything that is mean and dreary, turning it into [shear] radiance and joy. And all this time I search within me for the cause of this joy, find nothing, and have to smile again at myself. I believe the secret is nothing but life itself; -- the impenetrable darkness is as beautifully smooth as velvet, if one will only see it rightly. And in the grinding of the wet sand under the slow heavy footfall of the guard, there rises a wonderful song of life, -- if one only knows how to listen. In such moments I [page 2] think of you, and wish I might share this magic key with you, so that you might always, and under all conditions, realize the beauty and the [fullness] of life; that you might live in the same intoxication, walking as through meadows. I do not mean to tempt you to asceticism, and to imaginary joys. I welcome for you all real joys of the senses. It is only that I would give you, if I could, my inexhaustible inward cheer; that I might know that you walked through life wrapped in a star-embroidered cloak, sheltering you form all that is small, and trivial, and disheartening.</p>
<p>In the Steglitz Park you picked a cluster of black and purple berries. The black ones must have been either elder-berries, hanging heavy like grape-clusters among large feathery fronds, -- surely you know them, -- or, more probably, liguster-berries, -- on slender, upright, spiky, stems, among narrow leaflets. The purple berries hiding under tiny leaves [may] be dwarf-mispel. They are [ordinarily] red, but at this late season a little over-ripe, touched with decay, often appearing a purple-red. The leaflets look like those of the myrtle, small, with pointed ends; [dark] green; leathery on the upper surface, rough underneath.</p>
<p>Soniusha -- do you know Platen's "Verhangnisvolle Gebel"? Could you send it to me, or bring it? [Karl] once mentioned to me that he had read it at home. The poems of Georges are beautiful. I know now the origin of the line,</p>
<p>"and under the rustle of tawny grains" -- which you used to repeat when we walked through the fields. Could you sometime copy for me The New Amedis? I love the poem very much, -- of course thanks to Hugo [Wolf's] song, but haven't it here. Are you continuing to read the Lansing-Legend? I am again going on with Lange's History of Materialism, -- which always stimulates and refreshes me. I do wish that you would read it some time.</p>
<p>O, Sonitchka, I recently suffered a keen anguish here. In the court, where I go walking, military trucks often come, packed full with bags, or soldiers' coats and shirts, often [<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">illegible</span>] bood-stained. These are unloaded here, distributed among the cells, mended; then reloaded, and returned to the army. Recently such a [wagon] came, [driven] with buffalos instead of horses. For the first time I saw these animals at close range. They are more broadly and powerfully built than our cattle, with flat head and horizontally-curved horns. The skulls are rather like those of our sheep -- quite black, with great liquid eyes. They come from [Romania], -- war-trophies. The soldiers who drive these [wagons] tell that it was very difficult to catch these animals, accustomed to freedom; and still more difficult to break them in for dragging [loads?]. They were frightfully beaten, -- so that the term vae victis applies. About a hundred of these animals are said to be in Breslau alone. Moreover, they receive only miserable and scanty fodder. They are heedlessly exploited, dragging every possible burden, -- and so quickly perish. [page 3]</p>
<p>Several days ago, a [wagon] laden with bags came in, [<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">illegible</span>] so heavily loaded that the buffalos were unable to pass the threshold of the portal. The soldier who was driving, a brutal fellow, began belaboring the beasts with the thick end of his whip, until the prison-superintendent, outraged, called him to task, asking whether he had no compassion for the animals. "No one has any compassion for us men [either]" he answered, with an ugly laugh, and went on more brutally still .....</p>
<p>At last the beasts drew up over the hill, -- but one was bleeding .... Sonitchka, the hide of the buffalo is proverbially tough, -- and even this was bleeding. During the unloading, the beasts stood quite still, exhausted, and one, -- that which bled, -- looked before him with the expression, over his black face, and in his dark soft eyes, of a weeping child. It was exactly the look of a child which has been severely punished, and knows not why; knows not how to escape the brutal violence and the agony of it. I stood before him, and the beast looked upon me. My tears rolled down. His own tears they were. One cannot, for his dearest brother, quiver in anguish greater than I, in my helplessness, did at this mute woe. How far, how utterly beyond reach, lost, the free, opulent, pastures of [Romania]! [How?] otherwise the sun shone there, the winds blew. [How otherwise ] were [illegible words] calls of the herdsmen. And here, [illegible words] hideous town; the dank stable; the nauseating hay, mingled with rotting straw; strange, terrible, men, and, -- blows, -- the blood running from the fresh wound ..... O buffalo, brother, we two stand together here, so helpless under the yoke, -- one only in our suffering, our impotence, our longing.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the prisoners busied themselves about the [wagon], unloaded the heavy bags, and dragged them into the building. The soldier pushed his hands into his pockets, strutted across the court, grinned, and whistled a popular song. And the whole glorious war passed before me ...........</p>
<p>Soniusha, darling, be calm and of good cheer in spite of all. This is life, and we must accept it, -- brave, undismayed, and smiling, -- in spite of all.</p>

<br />Liebe Fräulein Gobat, <br /><br />Nehmen Sie meinen herzlichsten Dank für den warmen Anteil, den Sie an unserer materiellen und geistigen Notlage nehmen. Ich benütze die Gelegenheit, dass ein vertrauenswürdiger Freund nach Wien fährt, um diese Zeilen dort aufzugebenzulassen. <br /><br />Wir sinken immer tiefer und tiefer in den Schlamm der Reaktion; die wenigen liberalen Elemente, die ein gewisses Gegengewicht bilden könnten sind untereinander nicht einig u. dadurch viel schwächer, als sie vermöge ihrer Anzahl sein könnten. Uns stehen leider gar keine finanziellen Mittel zur Verfügung, während die reaktionär-chauvinistischen Politiker gerade ihren Frauen [großartige] Propaganda u. Aktionsmöglichkeiten sichern. Wir werden an den Wahlen absolut nicht teilnehmen können. Unsere Freundin Rosa ist über [all dies] so verbittert, dass sie gestern eine Werkstatt für Teppichweberei aufgesucht hat, um zu sehen, ob das ein entsprechender Broterwerb für sie wäre. Sie können sich vorstellen, wie traurig die Situation ist, wenn nicht einmal ihr unverwüstlicher Optimismus derselben standhält. <br /><br />Ich wurde von meinen Kolleginnen angeklagt, Kommunistin und Internationalistin zu sein u. an eine andere Schule versetzt. Mein neuer Direktor [begrüßte] mich mit einigen höflichen Worten u. wurde dafür in einer klerikalen Zeitung angegriffen. Mehrere Hundert Lehrer u. Lehrerinnen wurden auf [Grund] ähnlicher, meist ganz unbegründeter Anzeigen suspendiert und sind heute, wo auch das ganze Gehalt kaum 1/3 der notwendigsten Auslagen deckt, bitterer Not ausgesetzt. <br /><br />Mrs. French, die seit Wochen hier ist und aus lauter Sorge um uns sich nicht zur Abreise [entschließen] kann, wird Ihnen ausführlich über uns erzählen, sie würde Rosa am liebsten mitnehmen, wenn sich irgendeine Anstellung für sie finden [ließe], auf [Grund] deren sie Pass und Einreisebewilligung [page 2] erhalten könnte. Vielleicht hätten Sie die Güte, Mrs. Ramondt anzufragen, ob dies für Holland nicht möglich wäre und ihr gleichzeitig unseren tiefgefühlten Dank für ihre Bemühung in unserem Interesse zu übermitteln. Auch ich [illegible] ihr, sobald sich wieder ein gefälliger Courrier findet. <br /><br />Auch für den Appell im Aujourd'hui vielen Dank! Es ist mir jedesmal eine Herzenserquickung, das Blatt zu lesen; den Abonnentspreis werde ich nachträglich entrichten, wenn unsere Valuta wieder europafähig wird. <br /><br />Mit vielen herzlichen [Grüßen] an Sie, Miss Balch, Mrs. D‘Arcis (deren [Mischsendung?] ich leider noch immer nicht [eruieren] konnte), und all die lieben Schweizerinnen (Ragaz, Woker, Honegger) bin ich <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />Ihre Sie hochschätzende</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />Vilma Glücklich</div>
<br />Die Unterschriften im Interesse der Kriegsgefangenen sammle ich eiligst und sande sie nach Bern.

<div style="text-align: right;">Budapest, December 2, 1919.</div>
<br />Dear Miss Gobat, <br /><br />Please accept my sincere thanks for the warm concern that you express for our material and spiritual need. I take the opportunity that a trustworthy friend is going to Vienna to bring this letter there. <br /><br />We are sinking deeper and deeper into the mud of the response; the few liberal members that could form a certain counterbalance are not in agreement with each other and therefore much weaker than they could be, given their number. Unfortunately, we do not have any financial resources at our disposal, while the reactionary-chauvinist politicians, even their women, secure [great] propaganda and options for action. Our friend Rosa is so bitter about [all this] that she visited a carpet weaving workshop yesterday to see if this would be a suitable livelihood for her. You can imagine how gloomy the circumstances are when not even your resilient optimism can withstand it. <br /><br />I was accused by my colleagues of being a communist and internationalist and transferred to another school. My new principle [greeted] me with a few polite words and was attacked for it in a clerical newspaper. Several hundred teachers were suspended [based] on similar, mostly completely unfounded reports and are today, where even the whole salary hardly covers 1/3 of the most necessary expenses, exposed to severe hardship. <br /><br />Mrs. French, who has been here for weeks and who, out of sheer concern for us, cannot [make up] her mind to leave, will tell you in detail about us, that she would like to take Rosa with her if she [could] find any job for her, on the [basis] of which she could obtain her [page 2] passport and entry permit. Perhaps you would have the kindness to ask Mrs. Ramondt whether this would be possible for Holland and at the same time to convey to her our deepest gratitude for her efforts on our behalf. I [illegible] you, too, as soon as a compliant courier is found. <br /><br />Many thanks also for the appeal in Aujourd'hui! It is always a pleasure for me to read the paper; I will pay the subscription price later, when our currency becomes European-compatible again. <br /><br />With many heartfelt greetings to you, Miss Balch, Mrs. D'Arcis (whose [mixed program?] I unfortunately still could not determine), and all the dear Swiss women (Ragaz, Woker, Honegger) I am <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />your highly esteemed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />Vilma Glücklich</div>
<br />I hurriedly collected the signatures concerning the prisoners of war and sent them to Bern.

<div style="text-align: center;">The Place of Free Discussion and Tolerance in American Progress</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><em>By Lyman J. Gage</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY UNDER PRESIDENT MCKINLEY</div>
<p>IN San Diego we have instituted an open forum. At a time when there is a grave tendency toward clogging the sources of public opinion, we have gone out of our way to invite that free interplay of mind with mind from which spring the deliberate processes of a democracy. We have inscribed the purposes of our forum in these words:</p>
<p>The Open Forum is not a propaganda for any body of ideas or theories, political, social, or economic.</p>
<p>Its purpose is to provide a field wherein the representatives of various doctrines or opinions may have opportunity to present their ideas to a tolerant and respectful hearing.</p>
<p>It is hoped that, by a better understanding of ideas and motives and by a clearer conception of varying points of view, we may reach a sense of mutuality and good will, thus enabling truth to overcome prejudice, and that we may thus aid society, in our limited way, to move forward along the evolutionary path which may lie before it with the least of hostility and bitterness.</p>
<p>This description of our function has been adopted unanimously by the men and women, drawn from various walks of life, who make up the board of the San Diego forum; and as it fell to my pen to draft this common platform, some interest has been expressed in the conviction of a long life, much of it spent in the business world and in public service, upon which I ground my belief in the principles of tolerance and free discussion.</p>
<p>I believe in mutual efforts, such as our forum, to organize opportunities to give free play to these principles, because they enable those who practice patience and tolerance to understand the attitude of other men, and put those others in position, however extreme their ideas may be, to listen with equal patience and tolerance to contrary opinion.</p>
<p>I can only base the justification for my belief upon personal experience -- dating back to a time, not unlike the present, when there was much tension and trepidation, and when I had the opportunity to observe the effects of that repressive intemperance which separates men by closed walls of mistrust and misconception; and then to observe the healthy gains in understanding and mutual respect which came of creating a means of contact.</p>
<p>About thirty years ago, a year or two after the Haymarket riots, I was somewhat influential in the formation in Chicago of what was called the Economic Club. It consisted of twenty-four members. Eight of them were what were called radicals. There was a typical representative of the Socialist group, and also there was a philosophical anarchist -- a man who was opposed to violence, but believed in the philosophical conceptions of anarchy as the ultimate goal for society. There was a representative of Henry George’s propaganda of the single tax; one or two representatives of trade unionism -- in all, a group of eight. There were eight professional men -- lawyers and ministers; and a third group of eight laymen from business life. The idea was to meet informally and talk as man to man, in the forthright and decent presentation of the points of view we variously held.</p>
<p>This little group met once a month -- generally at my house -- with great profit to all in attendance, including myself. The radical element, so called, was always fully represented. The professional groups were very slack and lacked interest. Among the eight so called business men, the interest was slack and the attendance lamentably irregular. Nevertheless, out of these conferences grew a series of public meetings of considerable educational significance. These were held in a public hall, seating seven or eight hundred people, on Sunday nights for eight consecutive weeks through a period of three years. These public meetings were presided over by the chairman of our club, a moderator, so called. The program on any evening included an address by a competent representative of some one of the various shades of social and political philosophy. The speaker was given an hour and then the meeting was thrown open for questions. Anybody could ask a question, but our practice was that the question must be calculated to bring out more clearly the thought of the speaker. Under guise of a question, argument could not be entered upon, and to this end, the question could not exceed a minute and a half in length.</p>
<p>I am sorry to say these meetings were attended but feebly by the well-to-do people of Chicago. It is hard to use a term to describe those I have in mind -- the higher classes is not the term to employ, self-satisfied is nearer. The meetings were always well attended, but they were composed mostly of those members of society who felt themselves out of joint and unrelated to the whole. Yet they would have been very educational to those who stayed aloof, as they were to those who came. I myself learned more in that period of twenty-four evenings than I had ever learned before as to political and social economy.</p>
<p>One indication of the need for such an institution was the very misapprehension with which the project was greeted in not a few quarters. So far had the separatist tendencies gone in that day in Chicago, that the mere act of getting together to exchange views was regarded by some with suspicion; and, as a leader in the undertaking, a share of this fell to me. I was at the time an officer in a bank and a large bank, too. There were those who thought I was pandering to what they called the lower elements; had some ulterior motive; was moved by political ambition to get solid with the <em>hoi polloi</em>. Often I heard it whispered, “What’s Gage up to?” Of course, they knew nothing about it; many wanted to know nothing about it; they did not come to find out, or even to scoff. Had they come they would have sat in an audience as respectful, orderly and tolerant as it has been my lot to know.</p>
<p>Why did we stop at the end of three years? The answer throws light on this very situation. When the season was coming on for the fourth year, the representative of the anarchist group -- whom I had learned to esteem and respect as a right-minded young man -- came to me and asked: “What about the Economic Club? Are we to have another series of meetings this winter?”</p>
<p>“Well,” I said, “I’m game.”</p>
<p>“That is what I thought you’d say,” he answered, “but I’ve come to tell you I don’t think you can afford it. You [page 2] are injuring your influence with your class. I think it is asking too much. On the other hand, the same thing is true with me. I have had considerable influence with the group I represent in the past. I find I’m being compromised and looked on with suspicion by them. It’s been flung out at me that I’ve been hypnotized by Gage; that I’ve gone to his house and drunk champagne and eaten his luncheons until I’ve become subservient.”</p>
<p>Of course it was untrue about the champagne and the subservience. I had served lunch at our group meetings and we had had beer together. But I had to admit there was force in what he said; we had served our turn. We had broken ground; and we left the field for others to harrow. With the passage of years, I am more than ever convinced that the idea can be applied in our American life, and at 83 I am sharing in applying it in this Southern California community.</p>
<p>Now is a time when mental interest in social, economic, political and ethical questions is very keen; and in an arena where there is what you may call liberty, freedom of expression, toleration and sympathy, education is possible in all directions -- not only among the uninformed, but among those who call themselves superintelligent. Educating fellows upwards is just as important as educating fellows downwards.</p>
<p>For some time after the Haymarket riots, such efforts met with closed minds on the part of exponents of business opinion. Yet there was urgent need to do something to heal the moral wound left by the bomb-throwing, the sentencing of eight men to death, the pardoning of five who had been convicted in the heat of public passion, and the feelings aroused by these occurrences. Despair lies in the deep-seated prejudices of both sides of society. They don’t know and don’t want to know how the other fellow feels. Bitterness and hostility are gangrene in the body politic. Repression merely drives it underground.</p>
<p>Now, I do not believe men ought to be permitted to throng the streets and get up on soap boxes to advise murder and arson. Men should be taught to have political institutions flexible and elastic enough so that, given time, we can have any system of society we want -- that is, that the majority wants. The Constitution guarantees this opportunity. People ought to be taught the reforms they seek should be political reforms that can find means for expression in the ballot box. That takes time and patience. It may take generations. But it is the only road. While this process of education is going on, there should be the freest possible discussion of principles. If the anarchist can show a state society framed along the lines he thinks to be an improvement over what we have today, can draw so enticing a picture that in the judgment of those here they want to try it, so long as he counsels the use of the means provided by our political system, he should be secure in his right to draw it and they in their right to vote on it. But every man who counsels violence, sabotage, or secret assassination ought to be locked up, whether he is an I.W.W. or a Methodist preacher.</p>
<p>I would draw the line at leading mobs to riots, incendiarism, murder, pillage and looting. I would repress all these with the severest kind of repression. They injure everybody, perpetrators as well as victims. One extreme tends to beget the other. All violent expressions and violent acts, such as distribution of bombs through the mails, or hamstringing cattle, or burning haystacks, tends to stimulate an extreme of repression. To the other extreme the responsible elements of society should carefully guard themselves not to be carried.</p>
<p>This is especially true with respect to the industrial questions which, in the new century, are cleaving men into bitter camps. There are three elements, as I see it, necessary to effective production. These three elements are in themselves dead elements, unless vitalized by those who control them. These elements are land or opportunity, capital, labor. Opportunity unveiled, or land lying idle, is fruitless; capital not devoted to production is wasted; labor unemployed results in fruitless idleness.</p>
<p>These three elements, opportunity, capital and labor, standing alone are each helpless. To be effective they must be coordinated, and to be coordinated there must be a coordinator. This coordinator, in our present economic state, is the <em>entrepreneur</em> -- neither the capitalist nor the laborer. The man who sees, or thinks he sees, how to put these elements into conjunction for production, is the man who is able to get capital from the capitalist on terms mutually satisfactory; able to get from the laborer the labor he controls on terms mutually satisfactory. By conjoining these, he brings forth production which benefits directly or indirectly all of society.</p>
<p>All this is elemental and in my opinion cannot be too much emphasized or too thoroughly understood.</p>
<p>Speaking under the economic law, capital is a commodity; labor is a commodity. The man who controls capital, or owns it, may be classified as a capitalist. The man who controls his own labor and exercises it, in a hand sense, is a laborer. And while labor and capital alike, unused, are inert elements, their controllers are capitalists and laborers, employers and [employees]. These, without regard to the class to which they belong, are fellow members of the great social order. They are fellow human beings in aspirations and desires, and to the greatest degree possible should be in sympathy with each other. Any path that leads to that desirable condition is a good path to follow.</p>
<p>Being fellow members of society, the channels for their meeting and discussion should be kept open. Here and now, that much can be done. In the course of time, with experience tempering human motives, we may reach the stage of mutual <em>entrepreneurs</em>. I hope so. I do not know.</p>
<p>As I see it, the prevailing opinion, a widespread materialistic faith, is at bottom of much of the unrest, individual and national -- the idea that you go through the world once; have one chance and must grab; that anything you do is justified accordingly. The whole thing is a mistake; my hope is that the human being is but starting his career on earth.</p>
<p>We are all walking in more or less of a fog. We have a dangerous gift of liberty; but its exercise with reasonableness and caution is the way of progress. There are things superior to all the conventions of men. Those things are natural laws of life -- economic, social. One fundamental law is that society cannot consume more than it produces; and you cannot divide what doesn’t exist. These are laws not written in any statue book. They spring up as soon as men come into relationship with each other.</p>
<p>There is a law of life as there is of death. The two forces of constructiveness and destructiveness are operating blindly in the world. The constructive forces make for help, make for health and happiness, in contrast to the destructive moral forces of ignorance, hate, intolerance. No state of society can have the highest well-being where these latter prevail or are operative to any large degree.</p>
<p>These two groups of forces are operating now; always have been; always will be. And every right minded man who loves his fellows and wants to see the world go on, ought to line himself up with the constructive moral forces -- with education, toleration, mutual forbearance. Virulent criticism does not point the way. Lincoln’s touchstone of human relationship is needed today even as it was half a century ago: “With charity toward all; with malice toward none.”</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">THE TRIBUNE AND MISS ADDAMS</p>
<p>THE SURVEY in its issue of February 7, quoted from a news report in the Chicago Tribune, following the protest meeting at which the government raids and deportations were discussed by some of the foremost citizens of Chicago. Miss Addams presided, and ex-Governor Dunne and Professor Freund were among the speakers. The Tribune reported that the Department of Justice might keep Miss Addams under surveillance as a result of the meetings. This seems to have been the irresponsible statement of a single newspaper reporter. Chicago discounts the crotchets of the Tribune in such matters, but in fairness to the Department of Justice no less than to Miss Addams readers in other parts of the country should be told that there was no other substantiation for the quotation. Advices from sources in which we have confidence are explicitly to the effect that there is nothing in it.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Reds Better Americans [than] Prosecutors, Says Jane Addams</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Jailed Agitators More True to Flag Than Men Who Raid Them</p>
<p>Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, speaking yesterday afternoon in Recital Hall at the Auditorium Theater, (Chicago, Feb. 22) [branded] the activities of the federal government in the suppression and deportation of foreign-born radicals as a form of intolerance. She called the reds in jail and under suspicion more American in their basic ideals and thought than the agents of the government which is sending them to banishment.</p>
<p>These Socialists, Communists, members of the I.W.W., or whatever they may be, she said, are being persecuted for no other reason than that they represent the voice of the majority of the people and the constitutional right of free speech, free thought, and free press.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Suffrage Leaders Speak.</p>
Miss Addams, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Miss Grace Abbott and other suffrage leaders spoke to more than 300 men and women as a part of the program of a school of political education being conducted during the convention of the National American Suffrage Association.
<p>"This wholesale and so-called deportation of radical thinking and speaking peoples is very disconcerting to those working for the Americanization of alien-born citizens," said Miss Addams. "It is significant that since the so-called red raids began more than 1,500,000 aliens have applied for passports back to their native lands. They feel America no longer is a safe place to live."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Trying to Deport Party.</p>
<p>"Hundreds of poor laboring men and women are being thrown into jails and police stations because of their political beliefs. In fact, an attempt is being made to deport an entire political party.</p>
<p>"These men and women, who in some respects are more American in ideals than the agents of the government who are tracking them down, are thrust into cells so crowded they cannot lie down. I know of one batch of radicals, thirty-two in all, who faced this situation in an American jail. They were huddled together like rats and treated as criminals because of their political opinions.</p>
<p>"And what is it these radicals seek? It is the right of free speech and free thought; nothing more than is guaranteed to them under the Constitution of the United States, but repudiated because of the war."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Dangerous Situation.</p>
<p>"It is a dangerous situation we face at the present time, with the rule of the few overcoming the voice of the many. It is doubly dangerous because we are trying to suppress something upon which our very country was founded -- liberty.</p>
<p>"The government is proceeding on the theory that because these thinking aliens demand an end of class struggle and equal rights for all they are plotting to overthrow the United States. So it was said of suffrage years ago. Anything that is radically new to the established order of things is revolution in the eyes of many.</p>
<p>"But, I tell you, these radicals simply are struggling for equal rights; to down the spirit of intolerance which has crept into our government.</p>
<p>"They are proceeding as they are simply because in no other way can they gain attention."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Speech a Safety Valve.</p>
<p>"The cure for the spirit of unrest in this country is [conciliation] and education -- not hysteria. Free speech is the greatest safety valve of our United States. Let us give these people a chance to explain their beliefs and desires. Let us end this suppression and spirit of intolerance which is making of America another autocracy."</p>
<p>Carrie Chapman Catt was almost equally vehement in denunciation of what she termed the attempt of the federal government to curb free speech and free thought.</p>
<p>"If all the talk -- even the pro-German talk -- had been out in the open before and during the war, we would have had a chance to answer in the open and so clear away misunderstanding," said the suffrage leader. "As matters stand, there is danger we may lose what has been our proudest boast -- our republican form of government."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Rule of the Few Now.</p>
<p>"Because of the political corruption in the United States -- corruption which began fifty years ago, and included the buying and selling of votes -- we have come to a form of government that is not of a class or classes but a rule of the few."</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">THE IMMIGRANT AND SOCIAL UNREST</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">Miss Jane Addams, Head Resident,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Hull House, Chicago, Illinois.</div>
<p>I should like to begin tonight by reminding you that the world is full of social unrest of which the immigrant is more acutely conscience and perhaps understands better than do native-born Americans. We forget that there are [redistributions] in land, recognition of peasant proprietorship continually being carried on in the various countries of Europe, not only those in which actual revolutions have taken place as in Hungary and Russia, but in other countries such as [Romania] where there has been no violent revolution and in less well known lands where social changes are constantly taking place. The [Romanians] in this country have heard about these events in [Romania], as the immigrants from other European nations hear of theirs, and are very eager to know definitely as to what is happening to their own families over there, and as to what share they themselves might have in it all if they had returned, -- not only a share in the distribution of land but a share in establishing a new state.</p>
<p>They are all also terribly worried about untoward experiences which may have befallen their kinsfolk in these [page 2] remote countries. For five years many of them have heard nothing directly from their families and they are wrung to the heart over the possible starvation of their parents and brothers and sisters, sometimes of their wives and children. For weeks and months and years, for instance, some of them have not been able to hear from Eastern Poland. They know of the historic events, but they have gotten no news concerning the particular people who are dear to them. They are now beginning to get letters from Hungary, but still nothing is coming out of Russia, so that many Eastern immigrants are disturbed and very unhappy for these purely human reasons.</p>
<p>On the other hand they are eager, these Poles, and Bohemians, and Croatians, to be called by their new names. They are keenly alive to the fresh start made in Poland, in [Czechoslovakia], in [Yugoslavia], and they are quite conscious of the great happenings in Eastern and Southern Europe.</p>
<p>A little while ago in a mine in Northern California, a manager noted a growing disturbance among the Slav employees. He grew nervous, as he saw the miners dividing into two camps, which were given over to much ardent discussion. He made up his mind to send for the State Militia. [page 3] but before he did so, a man arrived from the State Immigration Commission of California, who spoke various languages. He discovered that the miners were not planning an I.W.W. uprising, or anything of that sort, but were divided in regard to the candidate for the presidency of the new [Yugoslav] Republic. For the moment, their minds were far from wages and hours and conditions of work, so fully were their spirits back in the old country. Many immigrants are exhibiting that absolute absorption in regard to things that are happening over seas. In the Senate it was recently stated that one and a half million European immigrants had applied for return passports. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">In addition to those who wished to aid their families were those who hoped to have part in the</span> [<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">redistribution</span>] <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">of land. </span> There are many who want to go back to work out the things there which they had hoped to attain when they came to this country. But, for whatever reason they ↑may↓ have made ↑their↓ application, they cannot go to many of these countries, and their enforced retention constantly makes for unrest. A member of this conference told me that from a small Western city where there were 800 Russians, 275 had gone to the Western Coast hoping to sail back to Siberia and thus to reach Russia. [page 4] I do not know how many Russians have gone from Chicago to Seattle and other Western ports, but a man who has once emigrated from the old, freely moving world, is made very restive by the sense of being tied down.</p>
<p>There is another reason for social unrest among immigrants. They know something of the experiments that all though this country are being made <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">for</span> ↑toward↓ a greater degree of democracy in industrial affairs, and they are often disappointed because the movement seems so slow to them. One of the most successful experiments in giving a larger measure of self-rule to workers was brought into being by a Committee of immigrant operatives in the clothing trades, through the Hart, [Schaffner] & Marx agreement in Chicago. The men have organized into shop committees and methods have been devised by which a difficulty may be carried on from one joint committee to another until an equitable adjustment is reached. At least the men have a fair hearing and they know that so far as justice may be obtained, it is given them. Such an experiment was successfully carried on in Chicago for ten years and is now being extended to the clothing industry throughout the country. Both the Manufacturing Associations and the Amalgamated Unions have come into it. There are other [page 5] experiments in the same direction and industrial workers are securing self-government in industry, a little here and a little there, but the fact that there are delays, some of them unnecessary doubtless, tends to social unrest.</p>
<p>There is a great deal more which might be said about this subject from the immigrant's point of view, but let us for a moment turn to the American's point of view in regard to the immigrant and social unrest. Let us remember there has been almost no immigration to this country during the World War, and that the immigrants now with us have been here at least for the five years duration of that war. In what situation do they find themselves after this period of life in America. They are feeling, some of them with good reason, that they are being looked upon with suspicion and regarded as different from the rest of the world; that whatever happens in this country that is disagreeable and hard to understand is put off upon them, as if they alone were responsible. They feel that they are now being watched in quite a new way for doing the very things they have been doing for many years without any question. I have lived in an immigrant community for more than thirty years. The people of foreign birth in that neighborhood have always held meetings, have always discussed new methods [page 6] of social adjustment, and have often urged a reorganization of the social order itself. No harm has come from that. On the contrary, I can remember young men who met together at Hull House and in other halls in Chicago, twenty and thirty years ago, and made statements that the authorities today would not allow them to make, who have turned out to be prosperous citizens, thoroughly bourgeois and some of them a little too conservative. Several of these eloquent young men grown older are now in Congress. We do not want young people to be too sure that this world is already just right, or the world would never advance at all. If they discuss its reformation ↑as they are prone to do,↓ it is inevitable that they should occasionally say very radical things, but if a man, as the English say, is not a little too radical when he is young, he will be much too reactionary when he is old. But if the immigrants now hold meetings and say the things they are accustomed to say, they are likely to be arrested and even deported. They cannot understand it; they do not know why they should now be treated so differently and they are puzzled and irritated. It really does seem that we are falling back into the old habit of judging men, not by their individual merits or capacities, but that we are thrusting them back into the old categories of race and [page 7] religion; that we designate them by the part of the world in which they were born and then feel justified in judging them in the mass. Most immigrants have come to America because they wanted more opportunity for themselves and their children; because they believed that this was a land of freedom and equality. It is a grave matter to [willfully] destroy the ideal with which they came to us, -- the ideal that is in the hearts of thousands of people still on the other side, who once wanted to come over here, but who are now hesitating and perhaps will never come, because they are convinced that they will find more opportunity in other lands. American manufacturers are already beginning to say that they want more labor; that we cannot allow one and a half million people to return to Europe, because American industry needs them, but after all, human labor depends upon many things. If this country ceases to offer opportunities for free development, a certain type of immigrant will cease to come and we will lose more than his labor power. We will lose an idealism and a vitality which is very much needed.</p>
<p>Sometimes <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">when</span> I hear ↑a↓ Russian say: "I used to dream constantly of America, and of the time I might come here, but now I go about with the same longing in my heart for Russia, [page 8] and am homesick to go back to her." We do not like to hear a man say that, for we would rather believe that America gives him his greatest opportunity for free development.</p>
<p>Why are we so suspicious and timid in regard to the immigrants of a type we have long had with us, and who has never brought us to grief? After the French Revolution, the English passed through the same reactionary period we are now having here. England then feared the doctrines of the French Revolutionists, as we now fear the Bolshevism. They enacted many oppressive and restrictive laws, thereby halting the social progress of England for decades, because later, of course, England was obliged to get rid of these measures before its development could proceed in an orderly manner and much energy was consumed in ↑merely↓ breaking down the barriers. Apparently that is the way in which the Anglo-Saxon mind takes the revolutions of others.</p>
<p>I beg of you, let us get back into simple human relationships with these men and women who have come to our shores and ↑who↓ are surprisingly like the rest of us. They come with great hopes and work hard to secure a better future for their children. Some of them fail and some of them succeed, and all become modified day by day, as they live with their neighbors, according to the good will, justice and even-handed [page 9] enforcement of the law which surrounds them all. Nothing so produces social unrest as a sense of injustice, a conviction that the law is unfairly enforced.</p>
<p>To this group of social workers, many of whom are closely identified with immigrant interests, I should like to say, "[Reassure] your neighbors as best you may. Tell them that this day will pass. That America will again come to regard them as simple friends and neighbors." America's progress will be impeded much or little somewhat in proportion as social workers have the courage and conviction to carry on American traditions and ideals and to interpret them to immigrant populations.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">THE NECESSITY FOR LEADERSHIP IN THE AMERICANIZATION MOVEMENT</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">MISS JANE ADDAMS</p>
<p>Miss Jane Addams' address on "The Necessity for Leadership in the Americanization Movement" was a thoughtful and stimulating discussion of the present-day situation among the foreigners in our midst. We must discriminate between immigrants from the different sections of Europe, for they are utterly unlike -- in language, customs, religion and tradition. We must have some appreciation of their national and racial history before we can hope to understand or assimilate them.</p>
<p>Their present great anxiety and great uncertainty about the fate of their friends in Europe -- especially the Russians -- is the cause of much of the unrest among foreigners in this country today. Friendly sympathy and tangible relief offered now would cement bonds of sympathy and friendship which would engender a desirable attitude on their part towards this country. Lack of understanding has caused police intervention in more than one quite innocent discussion of affairs in their native country, and has given rise to injustice and its inevitable resentment.</p>

The transcription of the document
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The Greatest Free Speech Trial of the War</em></p>
<p>was the I.W.W. conspiracy case at Chicago in 1918, under the Espionage and other war acts in which ninety-eight members were sentenced to terms ranging up to 20 years in Leavenworth Penitentiary.</p>
<p>The recent decision in the case by Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago makes it clear beyond argument that the men were guilty of opposing the war and conscription only by spoken or written words -- placing their case in the same class as that of Eugene V. Debs and scores of other political offenders under the Espionage Act.</p>
<p>The I.W.W. is appealing to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari to review this decision. The brief will be filed in a few days. The chief constitutional point at issue is the effect of the illegality of the search warrants under which practically all the documentary evidence was seized. The Circuit Court of Appeals admitted that the warrants were invalid -- but nevertheless sustained the conviction by some involved reasoning.</p>
<p>This case is one of three federal conspiracy cases brought by the Government against the I.W.W. All three cases are before appellate courts.</p>
<p>The legal defense of these cases is costing the General Defense Committee of the I.W.W. sums unprecedented in American labor trials. The Committee has already collected and spent over $225,000 and raised over half a million dollars in bail for the men out on appeal bond. $10,000 more is needed at once to carry on the defense. The resources of the membership and their sympathizers have been taxed to the limit.</p>
<p>This is an appeal to liberal-minded Americans to help the I.W.W. carry their case through the appellate courts. Whatever one may think of the I.W.W. they are entitled to the fullest possible hearing before the courts. Misrepresentation and sustained attacks from all quarters have made adequate legal defense exceedingly difficult.</p>
<p>The undersigned appeal for contributions to assist directly with the legal defense work and with publicity for the issues involved -- issues of law, of free speech and of the rights of the defendants to an adequate hearing before the highest court in the land.</p>
<p>Contributions should be sent to Paul J. Furnas, Treasurer, at 138 West 13th Street, New York City.</p>

<p style="text-align: right;">February 15, 1921.</p>
<p>The well-known Chicago I.W.W. case is fast approaching the last stage. An application will be made in a few days to the United States Supreme Court to issue a writ of certiorari and to take the case under consideration. It will be the defendants' last day in court.</p>
<p>It has been thought that it will be serviceable to insert the enclosed advertisement in various magazines and periodicals, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">if it can be</span> signed by as many of those whose names are appended thereto as are willing to consent to such use of their names.</p>
<p>Copy for the advertisement must be in final form by noon on Friday, February 18th. If you are willing to have your name used as one of the signers, will you be good [enough] to wire your consent at our expense. No financial responsibility will attach to those who sign the advertisement.</p>

<p>My dear Mr Sinclair</p>
<p>I was speaking for the suffrage campaign in Michigan in ↑1912 when↓ the subject was before the voters for a referendum vote.</p>
<p>The University decided that under the circumstances the lecture was political and fell under the rule that forbids political speeches on the campus.</p>
<p>The committee who invited me as well as myself concurred in this decision and I spoke in the town. [page 2] The lecture was attended by the faculty as well as students and there was no ill will anywhere. I had spoken on the campus before, and ↑have↓ lectured there quite recently. It does not seem to me that the incident is germane to your thesis.</p>
<p>I am sorry for this delayed reply, owing to a blunder in regard to forwarding my mail. Hoping I may see you when you come to Chicago, I am</p>
<p>Faithfully yours</p>
