C, APRIL 2, 1923.\n'DRUM AND TRUMPET\" PATRIOTISM\nTHE Vancouver daily newspapers have been\nvery much worried during the past week\nover the activities of the young bloods at\nthe University of B. C. It appears that Sir Henry\nNewbolt has been at the university lecturing to the\nstudent body, his subject being \"Poetry and Patriotism.\" Following upon that \"The Ubyssey\" (the\nU. B. C. magazine) carried an editorial in which\nSir Henry's choice of subject is deplored and his\ntreatment of it challenged. Apparently the points\nof view of Sir Henry and \"The Ubyssey\" writers\nare out of touch with each other. Besides the editorial in question the magazine carried the following\nparody on Sir Henry's own efforts in \"Drake's\nDrum\":\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nPeople in the Colonies, very far away,\n(Far away and very far below),\nSo they sent an orator, twenty bob a day,\nAll the way to Canada, you know.\nPounding on the tom-tom, hammering the drum,\nTelling how we vanquished every foe,\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Unimpressed Colonials looking rather glum,\n(When the dickens will the blighter go?)\nSeven weeks in Canadfc, long enough to see\n(Par away and very far below),\nHow these poor Colonials are \"just like you and me,\"\nJust as modest\u00E2\u0080\u0094till they start to blow.\nTake the news to England\u00E2\u0080\u0094they'll be glad to hear\nHow we worship Haig and Jellicoe;\nVery patriotic, but a trifle too exotic;\nYou know it really isn't comme il taut.\nThat poem, or parody, has raised an awful storm\nby this time and we gather that it is to be withdrawn \"with regret.\" There is not much sense in\napologising after you deliberately punch somebody\non the nose, which is different from accidently stepping on a man's corns. But here has been poor old\n\"Lucian\" every other \"Week End\" for a long time\nin \"The Province\" encouraging verse among the\nUniversity students, and the first effort which has,\nbrought down the house, so to speak, has to be apologised for as an \"insult to a patriot.\"\nAnd now the students are in for it. They are\nwithout the British spirit, the British sense of fair-\nplay, British patriotism and other qualities British.\nThey are, in fact, flirting with sedition. As \"The\nWorld\" (March 28, 1923) says:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nFrom one strange quarter an attempt at justification\nof the students has been made. Their ennui at the\nthought of anyone in these days being thrilled by memories of Drake or Nelson or Beatty has been defended on\nthe ground that it exhibits \"fearless independence.\" It\nwould be kinder to tell the students in question the frank\ntruth. There is no fearlessness in a mean anonymous\nlampoon; no independence in a collegian biting the hand\nthat sustains him. It is a matter of simple common British honesty that a state-aided institution should not teach,\nnor encourage nor countenance anything subversive of the\nprinciples on which the state is founded. What is law\nfor worklngmen in Winnipeg should be good doctrine for\nstate-aided highbrows in Vancouver.\nWe gather from the press that patriotism on the\npart of these students should lull them into contentment with all dull headed opinion and that on the\npart of the Faculty new ideas should find them hide-\nproof. Apparently, however, the practise of rat\ntling the bones of Nelson is wearing out. Patriotism needs dressing up in a new coat\u00E2\u0080\u0094a warm one.\nWe are wondering if \"The Ubyssey\" will teH-us\nwhat their brand of patriotism is like, not forgetting\nof course, that gentle hint about those seditious\ndevils in Winnipeg.\nOur sympathy to Sir Henry. It's a terrible\nthing after having told, the same old story for so\nmany years to run into a bunch of kids who see\nnothing in it.\nHow Old is Man?\nA COMPARISON IN HOUSES.\nTHE Socialist press in Great Britain is featuring the report of the British labor delegation\nto the Ruhr region and the recommendation\nthat the report proposes should be carried out. The\nrecommendation is that the Ruhr area should be internationalized. On that score they are being criticized all around, but it is with another part of the\nreport that we are interested.\nJohn Wheatley, Labor M.P. for a Glasgow constituency, speaking there recently said (Forward,\nMarch 3/23) that the capitalist press of Great Britr\nain encouraged the tendency to feature foreign affairs in the news, and to divert attention from affairs at home. He said that \"the condition of the\nGlasgow working class was a much greater tragedy\nthan the condition of peoples in Central Europe,\"\nand that the delegation\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nhad not found houses tumbling down about the people as\nhad happened during the past few weeks in Bridgeton;\nthey found the standard of housing immensely superior\nto Glasgow's and nothing of the slums which they knew\nhere. In the midst of all the present difficulties they had\nseen working-class houses being erected\u00E2\u0080\u0094houses which\nwould compare favourably in external appearance with\nmiddle-class houses here. The people were well-dressed;\nthe children seemed well-dressed and comfortable. They\nhad found no apparent shortage of goods. He believed it\nmight be true that the standard and quality of food was\nlower than ours, but there were no signs of the extreme\npoverty and starvation that they had heard so much of.\nMoreover, there was no unemployment, and the criticism\nthat the apparent betterness was due to the fact that the\nGerman workers worked harder than we did was absurd.\nThe miners in the Ruhr Valley worked seven hours from\nbank to bank\u00E2\u0080\u0094an hour less than our miners did.\nWe at home were being misled as to the facts of the situation. If the east end of Glasgow were only transported\nto the centre of Europe it would become the mecca of politicians and philanthropists who were blind to every misery\nat home. He had every sympathy with the workers in\nevery country who were oppressed by Capitalism, but no\nclass of workers in Germany could compare in poverty to\nthe people he represented .in Westminster.\nJohn Wheatley expounds upon a theme\u00E2\u0080\u0094working class housing conditions in and around Glasgow\u00E2\u0080\u0094quite in tune with the facts. We escaped\nfrom that region ourselves about as soon as our\nlegs were strong enough to travel, in accord with\nthe facts laid down.\n\"The Stately Homes of England\" is a fine poem,\nno doubt. It is proper British patriotism to admire\nit. As Jack Jones says\u00E2\u0080\u0094they stand 'em in rows\n'cause they can't be trusted to stand alone. We are\nwaiting to hear what the Glasgow folk think about\nworld affairs now.\nSECRETARIAL NOTES.\nTHE \"Clarion Mail Bag\" fe'ature is absent\nfrom this issue and will appear in next. We\nhave been a little under the weather and\nhave not managed to get the letters turned over to\nComrade Earp for inspection.\n*****\nJ. M. Sanderson, secretary of Local Winnipeg\nasks us to announce that Sidney Rose has resigned\nfrom that local and is not now a member.\n*****\nLocal Calgary has changed the address of headquarters there.\nNote new address: Room 27 Central Building,\nCalgary, Alta.

Hard\nupon the accounts of the recent finds in\nEgypt, public interest is stirred by the blazing of a star and by the news from Patagonia that\na skull has been discovered which seems to belong\nto the* Tertiary Age. Cosmic events and evidences\nof the early history of man are, it appears, once\nmore excellent newspaper \"copy.\"\nInterest in the origin of man is not a new thing.\nEven before paleontology had attained the rank of a\nscience, Scheuchzer believed he had found the remains of a man \"witness of the Deluge.\" Scientific\ninvestigation of the problem began with the discovery of a skeleton in the Neanderthal in western\nGermany. Here was a skull type which could not\nreadily be associated with modern European man\nand was at once claimed as an early, extinct form.\nThe cautious Virchow was reluctant to proclaim\nthis single specimen as proof of a new type of human,\nparticularly since he believed that he had discovered in it many pathological traits. However, when\nsimilar specimens were found in Belgium, France,\nand Moravia the existence of an Ice-Age population was established beyond cavil. In the course of\ntime discoveries were made which pushed- the period\nof the appearance of man back into still earlier\ntimes. Dr/ Dubois discovered in Java remains\nwhich, while similar to man, were so distinct in form\nthat they had to be considered as a separate type,\nwhich was named the Pithecanthropus Erectus, the\nape-man walking erect.\nContinued search in ancient gravel beds and other deposits belonging to the early Ice Age finally\nyielded, in the sands near Heidelberg, the jaw of a\nhuman form, a fragment which belongs to a being\nmuch more primitive than the Neanderthal race.\nAdditional finds in England suggest the occurrence\nof a distinctive type in this early period, and recent\nevidence points to the presence of man even before\nthe Ice Age, at the end of the Tertiary Period. We\nmay now safely estimate that man has lived in Europe for at least 150,000 years.\nSince all the manlike apes are found in the Old\nWorld, it seems probable that die Human species\ndeveloped in that section of the globe. Quite recently, however, a single tooth found in the West of\nthis country has been ascribed to a manlike ape, but\nit is the only indication of the presence of man-apes\nthus far found on the American continent. The long\nsearch for human remains belonging to the Ice Age\nin America has not yet yielded results accepted by\ncareful investigators. No form has been found indicating a human type anatomically different from\nthe modern American aborigines. While scientists\nin North America are still skeptical in regard to alleged Quaternary (Ice Age) finds, a South American scientist, Ameghino, has claimed that in Patagonia man existed together with extinct animal\nforms belonging to the late Tertiary or early Quaternary. His evidence, however, is not entirely satisfactory.\nIt remains to be seen whether Dr. Wolf's find in\nPatagonia will alter our views in regard to the early .occurrence of man in America. If the fossilized\nskull which this investigator reports finding in the\npossession of a settler is really what he believes it\nto be, we shall have to conclude that man existed in\nAmerica in the days when the present polar regions\nwere semi-tropical and enormous reptiles dominated\ntbe world.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The Nation (N.

WESTERN CLARION\nPAGE FIVE\nBy the Way\nI WOULDN'T care if they'd only prohibit the\nmembers from Lancashire from wearing 'em.\nLancashire legs are the most offensively proletarian legs of 'em all. That cocky flourish\u00E2\u0080\u0094the\nclogs done it\u00E2\u0080\u0094would be positively obscene in silk\nbritches. The upper-works may betray the culture\nof twenty generations removed from clogs j no matter, the legs retain their proletarian outlook on life.\nAs for legs, legs that are legs, I think silk britches set 'em off fine. The labor* electorate will now\nhave to use some judgment. Hitherto they have been\nelecting any old thing, economists, historians, trade\nunion officials and such ruck. \"Hand and Brain\"\nthey called 'em. But now its Legs if they're going\nto do themselves credit. I'm thinking of taking a\ntrip to the old country myself sometime before next\nelection.\nAnyway, I'll bet Billy Bennett a six months' subscription to the \"Clarion\" that silk britches, on a\nleg that is a leg mind you, say Ramsay MacDonald's\nnot to mention others, have more artistic value than\nGeorge Chicherin's shiny top hat.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2IF 0 0 W\nPress despatches of last week from Europe reported two notable events. In London, Philip Snow-\ndon, of the British Labor Party, introduced a motion into the British House of Commons calling for\nthe nationalization of land. The motion is described as denouncing the capitalist system as a failure,\nand proposed that legislation be directed \"towards\nits gradual supercession by an industrial and social\norder based upon public ownership and democratic\ncontrol of the instruments of production and distribution. ''\nIn Rome, the Industry Section of the International Economic Conference, convened in that city,\nadopted a resolution which amounted to a reaffirmation of the' capitalist system of private ownership\nand control of the m/ms of production and distribution.\n* * *\nThe significance of the British Labor members'\nmotion does not lie in its being something new in\nthe way of legislative proposal in the British Parliament. I believe that, perhaps some twenty years\nago, the late Keir Hardie introduced some such proposal. Still less does the resolution at Rome strike\nany new note in hand picked capitalist economic\nconferences, either in its categorical affirmation, or\nin detail as outlined in the seven recommendations\nof policy which it (the resolution) embodies. The\ncharacter of such resolutions in such conferences are,\nof course, foregone conclusions\u00E2\u0080\u0094their value is propaganda. Reading the dispatch from Rome on the\npurposes of the conference, I was reminded of the\ninstructions handed to a committee of economic production and technical experts called into being two\nor three years ago by U. S'. Secretary of the Interior\nHoover. Their task was to study industrial conditions in the United States and to report on causes of\nindustrial mal-adjustments, inefficiencies, unemployment and other economic wastes and submit\nproposals for their elimination. The members of the\ncommittee were specially instructed to confine their\nstudy within the limits of the capitalist method of\nproduction, and not to submit any proposals of reform that would entail any change in the institutions\nof the established order. Just so, it is, that from\nVersailles in 1918 to Rome in 1923 the statesmen of\ncapitalism and their retinues of experts have been\ndog-trotting within the same vicious circle from one\nfore-doomed conference to others equally futile.\n# * #\nNo, the significance of tbe two events lies in\ntheir relation to the present social situation. Social\nforces, economic, political and intellectual, have\ngathered headway, and the social problem has acquired a new quality by thc process, as it were, of a\nquantitative change. Economic and intellectual\nforces have developed so that Snowden's proposals\nhave come to have an air of practicality to the people of this day absent from them in Hardie's day;\nwhile, on the other hand, the resolution from Rome\nseems to embody just so much of dicta outworn, and\ndiscredited in human experience, now merely a repeating of pious wishes. For behind all the demands of the resolution, amiable enough some of\nthem if taken as stated, lurks the unstated but\nknown ulterior motive of capitalist profits as the\naim and end of industrial effort. The wellbeing of\nthe working masses or the communities of which\nthey are a part is only a matter incidental in the\neconomic scheme of things\u00E2\u0080\u0094 a matter at most of a\npious wish. The Economic Conference resolution\nprotests against the efforts of labor unions to restrict production and reduce the hours of labor. But\nnot a shadow of an idea is in it that laboring people\nmay have other interests and aspirations, as well as\nindustrial, to satisfy which they must, have leisure,\nthe room of human development, and reserves of\nphysical, intellectual and moral energies. No protest is raised against the closing down or part time\noperation of industrial plants by capitalist owners\nor the wholesale sabotaging of the communities by\nrestricting production in the interest of a profitable\nprice, which is to say, to \"what the traffic will\nbear.\" In the estimation of production experts in\nthe United States, where the delegation came from\nwho introduced the resolution, the industrial organization of that country only operates at something\nlike 25 per cent, of its capacity taken over a period\nof time, and that due, not to the restrictions and inefficiencies of labor, but to competitive wastes and\nthe curtailments enforced by the capitalist method\nof production. All the resolution shadows forth,\ndark as night, is an insatiable craze for production\nof material wealth at the highest rate of speed even\nthough at the price of debauching labor and the\nsabotaging of the communities.\n* # #\nAnother demand of the resolution calls for the\ncontinued submission of society's industrial processes to individual enterprise. Even so while civilization is wrecking itself over industrial and commercial rivalries in the regime of private enterprise.\nIn another respect how does it stand with- private\nenterprise? In the so-called finer arts and sciences\nprivate enterprise has a way of serving society without the incentive of swollen fortunes. In medical\nscience and surgery, for instance, a new discovery\nis published broadcast in the service of humanity.\nIn industry and commerce, on the other hand, a new\ndiscovery is something to be kept secret as a new\npower of individual enterprise over trade rivals and\nthe community at large. In science a new discovery\npublished abroad becomes a stepping-stone to new\ndiscoveries by experimentors, both professional and\namateurs, all over the world. On the other hand,\nprivate enterprise in industry retards advance in\nindustrial technology by hugging its new discoveries\nto itself and in so doing sabotages the human family\nincalculably.\nIn next issue I. think I will deal with the Labor\nParty's nationalization of land project. But I protest I. am not laying down tbe law. I merely make\na contribution to thought on matters I touch upon.\n C.\nHERE AND NOW.\nThere isn't a bright thought in us just at this moment. The prospect of a Friday and Saturday shut\ndown in the print shop hurrying us along, and the\ndamnable attentions of neuralgia holding us back\nare operating against normal production. Even the\nfigures are a little out of kilter, as. witness below.\nAll adds to our misery. About now we feel as if we\nbad a monoply on misery.\nFollowing $1 each: F. Johnson, T.

Millerand in French\nChamber says: \"In conversation with Mr. Lloyd\nGeorge M. Clemenceau had given way on the question of Mosul, with the idea of first coming to a\nsatisfactory arrangement on the question of oil, and\nsecondly to a suitable settlement of the Syrian question in conformits with the interests of France. It\nwas on this basis that he had continued to negotiate\nwith England, which had undertaken to hand over\nto France 25 per cent, of the product of the oilfields.\nThus the British Government breaks its pledges\nto support independence of Arabs in Syria in return\nfor Mosul and 75 per cent, of the, oil production.\nPLATFORM\nSocialist Party of\nCanada\nWe, the Socialist Party of Canada affirm our allegiance to, and support of the principles and programme\nof the revolutionary working class.\nLabor, applied to natural resources, produces all\nwealth. The present economic stystem is based upon\ncapitalist ownership of the means of production, consequently, all the products of labor belong to the capitalist class. The capitalist is, therefore, master; the\nworker a slave.\nSo long as the capitalist class remains in possession\nof the reins of government all the powers of the State\nwill be used to protect and defend its property rights In\nth emeans of wealth production and its control of the\nproduct of labor.\nThe capitalist system gives to the capitalist an ever-\nswelling stream of profits, and to the worker, an ever\nincreasing measure of misery and degradation.\nThe interest of the working class lies In setting\nitself free from capitalist exploitation by the abolition\nof the wage system, under which tbis exploitation, at\nthe point of production, is cloaked. To accomplish\nthis necessitates the transformation of capitalist property in the means of wealth production into socially\ncontrolled economic forces. *\nThe irrepressible conflict of interest between the\ncapitalist and the worker necessarily expresses Itself\nas a struggle for political supremacy. This is the\nClass Struggle.\nTherefore we call upon all workers to organize under the banner of the Socialist. Party of Canada, with\nthe object of conquering the political powers for the\npurpose of setting up and enforcing the economic\nprogramme of the working class, as follows:\n1\u00E2\u0080\u0094The transformation, as rapidly as possible,\nof capitalist property in the means of\nwealth production (natural resources, factories, mills, railroads, etc.) into collective\nmeans of production.\n2\u00E2\u0080\u0094The organization and management of industry by the working class.\n3\u00E2\u0080\u0094The establishment, as speedily as possible,\nof production for use instead of production\nfor profit. . -\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 f- -. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2..\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 .-. . ,-..\u00E2\u0096\u00A0; -;.\u00E2\u0096\u00A0.\u00E2\u0096\u00A0,, \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 :\ni'a t*tf ''^AMAWAh\nafcs_ :-;;.4s-.-i\npage six\nWESTERN CLARION\nStruggle and Human Progress\nTHAT social progress has been made mainly\nthrough struggle has been well borne out in\nthe writings of modern sociologists. Periods\nof equilibration occur in human history in which\nprogress is made through social achievement. Studying human history, we find that the balance of forces in the equilibrium ultimately creates the dynamic\nagent necessary for its destruction.\nAnother feature well to notice m this connection is, that while in animal life progress is made\nby the environment through certain adaptations for\nthe end of existence, in human society the environment acts in an indirect manner. A third element\nnow enters the circle of progress. This element has\nbeen termed the telic or rational faculty. Sociologists have it that there are tAvo principal methods\nby which progress is made and has been made since\nthe telic faculty has made its appearance. In\nperiods of equilibration progress has been made by\nthe action of static forces through the telic faculty.\nThe dynamic agents, with their destructive effect on\nequilibrium, also act through the telic faculty;\nresult in struggle and, as it can be observed, this\nstruggle results in progress. For, as Lester F. Ward\nsays, \"The genesis of society as we see it and know\nit has been through the struggle of races.\"\nWhile in the case of man's evolution a third element has entered the line of progress, the process\nof selective elimination of structures remains unmodified. Strong structures survive and weak ones\nare destroyed in exact proportion as they serve or\nhinder the onward progress of man.\nHuman history not only gives a vivid example of\nthe elimination of superfluous structures, but also\nserves as a basis for observation of the action of\nstatic and dynamic agents at work.\nLet us make a brief study of the dynamic agent\nin human history. Primitive men were not warlike\nbeings. In vast hordes they roamed the prairies and\ninhabited the forests, which abounded in food. War\nwas unknown and unnecessary. The brain of man\nin this primitive stage was not developed to any\nappreciable degree. And it was not until the scarcity of food (a dynamic agent created by this condition of equilibrium) and the consequent struggle\nwhich it entailed, that the first important development in man's brain became evident. The dynamic\nagent (scarcity of food) presently led to the, origination of race hatred, resulting in the destruction of\nthe then prevailing equilibrium.\nNow, let us observe, by following the history of\nman, how the dynamic agent (race hatred) negates\nitself by creating, through long development a force\nequal to itself.\nWith the scarcity of food man became a hunter\nIt was necessity that led to the discovery of tools\nuseful firstly in the art of killing. Game became less\nabundant, and tribe fought with tribe for choice\nhunting areas. The ensuing struggle of man with\nman, as Kautsky aptly illustrates, was more terrible,\nmore intense than the previous struggle between\nman and animal. It was the race that had developed its rational faculty to the greatest extent, enabling thereby the more advantageous action of the\ndynamic agent, that became the predominant race\nin most cases in human history. The conquered race\nwas totally exterminated by the practice of cannibalism in the early wars, but in later wars, after the\nconquerors had gained such skill in warfare that\nthey could subject too many to consume, slavery\nmade its appearance.\nThe conquering race developed great skill in the\nart of military organisation, resulting in the still\nfurther subjugation of the less fortunate races.\nFollowing the period of race subjugation in human\nhistory, a development, which sociologists call social\nkaryokinesis (meaning a process of race amalgamation) takes place. Obviously, after the subjugation\nof races, the society is polarized; and though the\nconquered race maintains its racial distinctions and\nalso its feeling of bitterness towards its oppressor it\nsubmits to its brute force and works for and pays\ntribute to it. In caste society, the two classes,\nthough in a sense economically related, arose from\nracial distinctions. Further development of this\ncaste society resulted in pronounced social inequality. The languages merged and the customs became\nsimilar, but thc former conquering class now became\ntlie economic master and the formerly conquered\nclass became economically enslaved.\nTired of its military occupation, the master class\ningeniously invented legal rights and duties by\nwhich to keep their slaves in check and give themselves leisure. With the production of law, the state\ncame into being as a means of its enforcement.\nThe next step in the onward progress of man is\nthe juridical state, in which the human race is said\nto emerge from barbarism into civilisation. Each\nindividual in this society was apportioned his particular task, thereby creating the division of labor\nand the development of merchant's capital. Following this compromise between racial distinctions,\ncame the formation of a \"people,\" \"a synthetic\ncreation after which animosity abates and toleration\nincreases.\" In speaking of the formation of a people Ward says, \"There are two antagonistic races\nof nearly equal social value, one of which has by\nsome means succeeded in subjugating the other and\niss striving to secure the greatest return for the\ncost involved in so doing.\"\nGrowing out of the formation of a \"people\" is\nthe \"nation,\" which is based on patriotism. Ward\nrefers to \"patriotism\" in the following way: \"It is\nthe basis of the national sentiment or feeling of social solidarity, that is essential to this last step in the\nprocess of social karyokinesis. It marks the disappearance of the last vestige of the initial social\ndualism. It means the end of the prolonged race\nstruggle. It is the final truce to the bitter animosities that had reigned in the group. The antagonistic forces have spent themselves, social equilibrium\nis restored, and one more finished product of social\nsynergy is presented to the world.\"\nThen with the development of the nation, we\nfind that the dynamic agent, race hatred, is negated\nby patriotism and other national sentiments. The\ndevelopment of the nation is the end of one circle\nof progress. Today we are living in a period *of\nequilibrium itself, which, acting through the telic\nof primitiye man, a dynamic agent is created by the\nequilibrium itself, which, acting through the telic\nfaculty of man, will inevitably result in the destruction of the equilibrium. Again to quote Ward with\nregard to this inevitable process, \"Races, states,\npeoples, nations are always forming, always aggressing, always clashing and clinching and struggling\nfor the mastery, and the long, painful, wastful, but\nalways fruitful gestation must be renewed and repeated again and again.\"\nThe creators of the dynamic agent today are exploitation, hunger and subjection. The dynamic\nagent itself is class antagonism, and we find that it\nis the inevitable result of the prevailing equilibrium.\nIn order to have freedom, and lacfc of starvation,\nan economic revolution must take place giving the\nworkers the means of production. But the master\nclass have always had the state and many other\nmeans of coercion at its demand, and are thus enabled to crush any premature attempt on the part\nof tlie working class to gain supremacy. Although\nthe aim of social revolution is economic, still the\nworkers will be forced to use political means to that\nend. Therefore, just as in the case of primitive\nman, the dynamic agent which will finally destroy\nthe modern equilibrium, will also assume the form of\nstruggle.\nThough the process of conquest, struggle, compromise and equilibration in the development of\nmodern society, resulting from race war, took thousands of years to complete\u00E2\u0080\u0094that process in the workers' revolution, necessitated as it is by the existence\nof class antagonism, will take a much shorter period,\nand events which starerus in the face today seem to\nfully justify the statement that the equilibration re\nsulting therefrom will be Communism. After the\nestablishment of that equilibrium the telic faculty\nof man will have developed to thc extent that the\nexpression of the dynamic agent will no longer assume the form of war. And that period will be the\nend of class war, since there will no longer be any\nclasses to contend for the mastery, and although a\nstruggle for structure will and must go on yet that\nstruggle will assume the form of a mental struggle\nand the human race will then progress through\nsocial achievement.\nS. 0. S., J. B. G.\nCHINA: THE PEARL OF THE EAST\n(Continued from page 3)\na great deal of truth in their opinions. To the Chinese, their own life was the best that could be attained. This is the era of machine production, and\nChina has also been invaded. Neither China or\nRussia can maintain their stability as nations\nthrough isolation from the rest of the Avorld. In\nfact they won't be allowed to.\nWhat will the outcome be? China knows the\nposition well of Britain and America in their dealings\nwith the Chinese. Take a look at an Empress boat\ndischarging her cargo of human beings into Vancouver. There you will see what creates an antagonism in the hearts of the yellow man. The same\nthing happens in all civilized ports where they happen to land. The Jews under the Czar did not get\nany worse treatment. The foreign powers in China,\nwith their \"Extraterritorial Rights,\" are hard and\nagonizing to the Chinese. When she sees her fellow men seized and imprisoned by a foreign power\nin their own home land can you wonder at the dreaded cry, \"Foreign Devils?\" When the monarchy was\noverthrown and a parliament was set up, the ideas\nof young China had materialized. The millenium\nhad come. Liberty, Equality and Fraternity was\ntheir slogan, but that was all. It was only another\nsweet dream that was soon dispelled. .\nThe war clouds are gathering in the cast. China\nis the goal-; who will capture it, America, Britain or\nJapan? Who can tell! Or will those two nations,\nwith a bond of friendship and a population of close\non 600 millions pass into bondage on a scale that\nhistory has never known? Will China rise and assort her rights, is for the future to tell. As Marx\nsays: ' One nation can and should learn from others.\nIt can neither clear by bold leaps, nor remove by\nlegal enactments, the obstacles offered by the successive phases of its normal development. But it\ncan shorten and lessen the birth pangs.\"\nThe chess board is set; each one is waiting for\nthe other to move. War is imminent - the European\nwar will be a mere shamble compared to the next.\nThey holler for peace when they want our blood.\nThis will be the test. Will the workers fall for\ntheir slogans again, or will they rise to the occasion\nthis time and deal the fatal death blow to capitalism, the menace of the human race ?\nSOCIALIST PARTY OF CANADA\nPROPAGANDA\nMEETINGS\nEVERY SUNDAY\nSTAR THEATRE, 300 Block, Main Street\nAPRIL lst\nSpeaker: W. A. PRITCHARD\nAll meetings at 8 p.m.\nQuestions. Discussion. WESTERN CLARION\nPAGE SEVEN\nThe Art of Healing vs. the Present\nEconomic System\nIN \"Pearson's\" Prof. Carpenter of Edinboro'\nis quoted as having declared: \" .... and as\nfor medical doctrines, they are for the most\npart stark staring nonsense!\" It is the purpose of\nthis article to find out to what extent the art of healing has been tainted by the profit system, so as to\nhave brought about such a state of affairs. Everywhere one finds a subservience to the \"profession\"\nthat is irritating in the extreme to anyone who has\nstudied the subject a little and has the ability to\n\"see through\" them. A careful examination of\"the\nhistory of the medical profession will bring out\nenough to show that its past is shady to say the least\nand in some aspects almost infamous. Some day\nin the future a book will need to be written along\nthe lines of the \"Profits of Religion,\" by Sinclair,\nbut dealing with the way the organized medical fraternity has opposed all real progress and fallen for\nmany a line of bunk that soon was thrown into the\ndiscard. A few examples: Harvey's circulation of\nHood was not acepted by the profession for two or\nthree generations; Semelweiss, who practically did\naway with childbirth fever by simple cleanliness,\nwas hounded to tbe insane asylum. The list of those\nwho have made discoveries that have not yet been\naccepted by the Doctors is very important, especially since the economic factor has become more and\nmore important the nearer we approach the present.\nIn these latter days the doctors have\" banded\nthemselves into large, well organized associations\nwhose main objects seem to be like much of the old\ntrade unionism, that is the maintaining of the status\nquo, and keeping up business for themselves. This\ny/as baldly admitted, without any signs of being\nashamed about it, by Dr. J. H. McDeimitt, speaking\nfor the B. C. Medical Association before the annual meeting of the Association of Professional\nEngineers at Vancouver, December 2, 1922. He\nsaid that \"the first purpose of the Association (the\nB. C. Medical Association is referred to) of course, is\nself-preservation.\" They are chiefly concerned with\ngetting laws passed which will make their services\nthe more in demand, and when they can put it\nacross, they wish to enforce by law their nostrums.\nThey have absolute power and could, if they would,\nremedy many of the serious abuses and wrongs of\nthe world. Instead they are aiming to keep their\nnumbers within certain limits so that they will all\nhave more to do and make more money. Somehow,\nlike the priests, they generally seem to be on the side\nof the governing powers. They cannot have been\nr making any effort to stop the application of the\nthird degree by police, on the contrary they in many\ncases have been the leading spirits in I. W. W.\nlynching parties along with the lawyers, grocers and\nthe like. Jail abuses remain festering for generation after generation; every jail has a medical attendant who has the power to stop such things.\nThe power whicii their associations possess could,\nif wielded properly, namely, by the refusal of their\nservices until conditions arc remedied, work wonders, but instead we find them calling upon police\nand even militia to enforce vaccination, which\nmeans money for the manufacturers, or if made by\na public board of health, more jobs for their confreres. It requires a little too much courage on their\npart to try to enforce measures that will mean expenditure by a large interest; the small man they\nwill persecute unmercifully.\nDuring the war they made no effort to stop the\nuse of poison gas, and now, one will find them holding down fat jobs as \"pathologists,\" etc., torturing\n[\ dogs and cats and other wretched beasts in the government stations where experiments are being made\nto find out the best gas for the next war. It would\nhave been quite within their power to put an end to\nmany of the industrial diseases and poisoning that\ngoes on yet, with only the unions to fight against it.\nAnd when it comes to the good manufacturing evil\nthey are more silent than ever. Laymen like Upton\nSinclair, with his \"Jungle,\" Alfred McCann and his\n\"Starving America,\" and other workers are doiug\nwhat they can to open the eyes of the people to the\nfact that they are being poisoned on all sides.\nAny medical man who is not a moron must know\nthat the twelve hour day in the steel industry shortens men's lives, but do we find them refusing to enter the employ of the U. S. Steel Corporation unless\nit. is done away with? They know that child labor\nas practiced in the cotton factories of the southern\nStates is wrong, but do they make any effort to have\nlaws passed forbidding it? t\nOf course the doctors have a complicated system\nof \"ethics\" that presents them from doing much of\nthis needed work, but it is something like the rules\nof some of the U. S. Universities that Sinclair mentions in the \"Goose Step.\" A professor must not\nengage in propaganda work for labor, but he ean do\nall he-likes for the capitalists. And so can the\nmedical associations do all they like for themselves\nand the businesses that rest upon their support and\npush. They will actively help conduct all sorts of\npublicity campaigns, usually with the help of public\nor charity funds; call them Cancer Control or T. B.\nEradication, it matters not what the slogan is, it all\nmeans increased business for themselves. They will\nmanage to enforce vacination by law (helping the\n\"security\" of the capital invested in vaccine plants,\nand by the way, the vaccines used in B. C. are made\nat the Parke Davis Co.'s Laboratories at Walkerville,\nOnt.) but will they endeavor, with equal energy, to\nhave enforced by law the maintenance of satisfactory sanitary conditions, that will make smallpox,\ntyphoid, etc., extinct? They will, but only if\nthey get the job of enforcing the laws or can build\nup large departments in which they and their ilk can\nget jobs managing affairs. And unless this latter\ntendency is adequately recognized, a change over\nfrom the capitalistic state of society will not get rid\nof this difficulty. The medicos will still try to concoct schemes of public health (or health, properly\nspeaking when the regulars, have entire control of\nit) and make large numbers of soft jobs.\nIf one really wants to usher in a new age in which\nall things are to be altered for the better it is necessary for one to completely revise all one's beliefs\narid opinions and to keep them open to further revision from time to time or there will be no real progress.\nNow the Physician, as a profession must eventually be doomed to extinction. The medical profession at present is only another of the surplus parasitic institutions that we pack along, and even pity\nthose who have not this incubus with them. It ranks\nalong with the Legal, Military and Clerical professions. One's ideals must look into the future\nwhen one has a populace that knows how to take\ncare of itself and keep well. Instead of a medley\nof theories, facts and superstitions, for such are the\npopular notions about health matters, it is to be\nhoped that real knowledge, based upon the Laws\nand Principles of Nature will render any class, parasitic upon man's troubles, quite unnecessary.\nAll these beliefs etc, must be examined, always\nremembering that (in the world at present) publicity is given to a method of healing either because it\nmakes sensational news or someone is making money\ncut of it. Also a drug or other means of healing\nis in a very different category from an auto. The\nlatter simply has to run or it won't sell. On the\nother hand a means of healing must have the appearance of working but no one can prove definitely\nthat it did or did not do what Avas claimed for it.\nThere are also many holes for evasion in cases of\nfailure. Instructions were not obeyed, the patient\ncame too late, etc. etc. etc., and always if the victim\nrecovers it simply must have been due to the remedy.\nHe would have died for sure if they hadn't operated, or perhaps it was a mouse serum or the extract\nof hogs testicles that \"saved a life.\" (They rarely\nsay a life, it usually runs into the hundred thousands, and often into the millions).\nSimple hydrotherapy, which is the usage of ordinary cold water packs and compresses, \"doesn't\npay anyone, therefore it is unadvertised, while Bayers Aspirin is a paying proposition (for the maker)\nand Avidely suggested for almost every ill. Appendicitis is a most profitable sickness, I doubt if any\nsurgeons could make a \"living\" without it. But I\nknoAv a doctor who runs an institution (the place\nA', here Debs Avent to recover after his release) where\nthey never operate for it, and though they have\ntreated many hundreds of cases they have never\nlost one. On the other hand, I have it from the\nCanada Lancet for March 1922, that in the New\nYork Hospitals the case mortality rate after-appendicitis operations is about 16 per cent. That same\nnumber has the back cover taken up by an ad. of\nthe aforesaid Park Davis Co. about a now mercury\ncompound, ostensibly for treating syphilis. Over\nhalf a century ago a Hr. Herman in Vienna demonstrated over a period of many years that this disease\ncould be treated without drugs. No money in that'.\nSinclair Avrote the \"Jungle\" in 1906, but the\nsame practices are goin-j, on, for during the war,\nAlfred McCann obtained 16 convictions against\nSwift & Co. for trafficking in putrid flesh.\" In 1909\nneAvspaper reports about the government investigations finding that the 1907 Foot and Mouth disease\noutbreak in the States had originated from calves\nused in the production of vaccines. The II. K. Mul-\nford Co. (the same firm that settled a great many\nclaims out of court in Texas. Their diptheria antitoxin had killed many children) Avas selling these\ncalves for veal, and somehoAV managed to quash\nthe papers promptly, for nothing appeared in Chicago after May 17,1909, when the first reports came\nout. This firm maintains a large staff of medical\nmen.\nThe practice of Vivisection on an ever increasing scale is responsible for much of this tomfoolery,\nAvith its culmination in the absurdities of gland\ngrafting, a profitable business, for which a large\ncompany has been organised near Chicago, I suppose to rejuvenate worn out pork packers. For\nvivisection of animals inevitably leads up to gruesome experiments upon the poor in the general\nwards and the returned soldiers. Just a little Avhile\nago at Toronto, they have been trying out their\nnew diabetes \"cure\" upon the patients in a Military\nhospital. So flagrant a violation of the feAV rights a\nsoldier is imagined to possess Avas this AA'ork that\nthe Parkdale Branch of the G. W. V. A. took up the\nmatter. They passed a resolution condemning experiments in the use of insulin (the new \"cure,\"\nfirms are iioav making thc concoction) upon, \"fish,\nrabbits, dogs and the patients in Christie street Hospital\" which caused them to have convulsions and\nto \"climb the Avails of the experimental chamber of\ntorture.\" Of course any member of the proletariat,\nsalariat or millionaire classes will do; the latter are\nchiefly \"worked on\" for tbe extraction of money,\nthe former, well they will do anything they like even\nto children. The Canada Lancet for March 1922\ndescribes tuberculin test experiments upon little\nones suffering from diptheria and scarlet fever in\nthe Riverdale Isolation Hospital, Toronto.\nA few societies are doing much, either by design or accident, to clear away some of the mists of\nsuperstitution and false reverence that surrounds\n(Continued on page 8) PAGE EIGHT\nWESTERN CLARION\nTHE ART OF HEALING vs. THE PRESENT\nECONOMIC SYSTEM\n(Continued from page 7)\nthe medical profession. I refer to the Anti-Vivisection Societies, Medical Liberty Leagues, etc. The\nformer by attacking vivisection greatly reduces the\nbureaucracy forming tendencies of the medicos, and\n* the financial profits from the practice would be also\ncut out. The latter organization is very much more\noutspoken against the money-making propensities of\nthe doctors, vaccine manufacturers and the like, but\nhas rather a weakness in that they tend to set up\nsome of the other cults on a pedestal and thus breed\nanother gang of parasites. By all means let them\npractice but don't make them think that they are\nalways right and the others wrong. If this is done\nin a short time the chiros etc. will be turning round\nand persecuting in their turn later and newer\n\"cults\" that come along. Any cult will try to put\nup the bars of the clover field they are in to prevent\nothers from coming in, and always the cry is that\nthey are \"protecting the public.\"\nVivisection is based upon the same line of reasoning that leads to the more terrible exploitation\nof children and some workers, and anyway I. hold\nwith Shaw that honorable men do not behave dishonorable even to dogs. There is Avidespread theft\nof pets to keep the maAvs of the Labs, supplied, a\nform of stealing that is of the very Avorst sort. Any\ndog used may have been the boon companion of a\nfamily of kiddies, and it is even known that in\nmany places gangs of small boys are organized to\nsteal them. A vet. had such a gang in Toronto,\nand Avas found out when one of his proteges robbed\nthe Humane Society's collection box. He Avas only\nfined $40.00, owing to a doctor proclaiming his excellent character. Such men as Bernard Shaw, Edward Carpenter, George Lansbury and others are\nactive in these movements. For it must be seen\nthat nationalization of the medical profession will\nnot do aAvay with all these evils\", as Shaw seems to\nassume. Russia is educating thousands of doctors,\nbut along the old lines, teaching them the doctrines\nand superstitions that had their origin in capitalism, feudalism, and even permitting the shipment of\nRussia of enormous quantities of vaccines, Avhen\nfood and clothing were Avhat were needed. But the\nVaccine firms saAv their opportunity, and got hold\nof the Red Cross and the American Relief Associations. And this is done after Abrams, of San Francisco has demonstrated Avithout doubt that all vaccines are contaminated with bovine syphilis, and\noften T.B. and* other taints as well.\nIn short, if the Art of Healing is allowed to keep .\nits institutional nature, the article by Scott Nearing\nin the Call Weekly for March 11,1923 on the Church\nwill apply equally to it. The progress will not come\nfrom Avithin the organization; innovations Avill be\nalways fought instead of investigated and their\npromulgators persecuted. So we must do aAvay\nAvith the organization and keep free,\nWe must look fonvard to a society like EdAvard\nCarpenter has imaged, a people that are healthy,\nhappy and able to take care of themselves Avithout\nany parasitic institutions to keep them Avell. Hospitals will only be needed for accidents and maternity and it is to be hoped manned by those who work\nin them, not to make a \"living\" but avIio consider\nit an honor to serve thus in their spare time. You\nAvill say this is impossible to be realized. It is, for\nthe nation as a whole, but a start can be made in\nour own individual lives and in the lives of our families. Drug stores and other unnecessary things\ncan be dispensed with, food \"manufacturers\" Avares\navoided, and in a thounsand and one Avays patronage\nwithdrawn from the octopus-like groAvths that enslave the peoples, and in so doing even make them\nbelieve that a boon has been granted to all by their\n\"beneficent\" actions. Only thus Avill Ave be able to\ncome through civilization and bring into reality the\nideals pictured by the poets, prophets and teachers\nof all time.\nADRIAN C. THRUPP. .\nExploitation of the\nFarmer\nTHE average prairie farmer carries a debt of\nleast $1,000 at 8 per cent, per quarter section. He has to purchase commodities such\nas groceries, coal, machinery or repairs to machinery, new buildings, to the amout of $500 yearly.\nThe threshing bill amounts to about $180, the freight\ncharges are either deducted at the elevator or he\npays the R. R. company $155 per 1,000 bushels if he\nships to Winnipeg. Insurance of various kinds will\nrun around $80, other items $100, making a yearly\nexpense of approximately $1,000 per quarter section\nIf the farmer raises 1,000 bushels per quarter\nsection yearly, which is perhaps a high average\nyield, and he sells for $1 a bushel, it is easy to see\nwhere the fanner gets off at,\nNoav I figure that the farmer does not receive\nmore than one-quarter of the value of his commodity\nwhen he exchanges it through the price system for\nthe factory products and transportation which he\nhas to buy from the owners of such industries, which\nhave a high concentration of capital, against the low\ncomposition employed by the farmer, the remaining\n75 per cent going to those parasites in the form of\nrent, interest, and profit, in the process of exchange.\nThis rent, interest and profit system is of no advantage to the farmer, it is only advantageous to\nthe non-productive capitalist class, tothe farmers it\nmeans delivering up hundreds of thousands of bushels of wheat or other grain, hogs or cattle in vast\nnumbers to the capitalist class, for whieh they receive no return.\nThis exploitation in a capitalist state is legalized\nrobbery, for the benefit of the capitalist class who\ncontrol that state. The rent, interest and profit\nAvhich the farmer pays, easily amounts to the value\nof the farm in ten years.\nDon't be fooled by the cry for a wheat board,\nhow can it benefit us under a system of private ownership of the basic industries, Avhereby Ave Avould\nstill be robbed of 75 per cent, of our production?\nIf you admit the rights of private property in the\nmeans of life, then if you are logical, you must allow to the owner of that property all the profits he\ncan extract from the fact of such ownership, and\nyou have no kick coming, if you get it in the neck,\nthrough the operation of the system.\nTo the owner of a cow belongs the calf. To the\nOAvner of a slave belongs the slave and everything\nthe slave produces.\nDon't be led astray by the cry of no tariff, or\nhigh tariff, advocated by the press and politicians\nat election times, it is only a struggle betAveen sections of the capitalist clas. The cost of production\nmay be high or Ioav, the price of commodities will\nvary accordingly. During the war when wheat Avas\ntwo dolars a bushel, land and machinery went soaring. Land went to $80 an acre, double the pre-war\nprice. If costs .of production are high, then the\nprice of commodities is high, Ave are not robbed by\ntariffs, but $5,000 to $10,000 worth of products, paid\nout in 10 years in rent, interest and profits, denies\nto the farmers a comfortable home, proper clothing\nfor himself and his family, causes him eat as a producer of food, the poorer quality, not to mention\nthe absence of pleasure coupled with the idiocy of\nrural life.\nThe present capitalist government is the executive committee of the exploiting class, their function\nis the holy trinity of rent, interest and profit. They\nstand opposed to the interest of the wealth producers.\nGet acquainted with the literature of the Socialist Party of Canada. Read the \"Western Clarion\"\nand the 'Slave of the Farm,\" which will help to rid\nour minds of the private property delusions which\nprevent us from realizing our true position as a subject class. We have nothing to lose and everything\nto gain by the abolition of capitalist exploitation.\nDo you realize that under the present system of\nslavery, the Avorkers who by the expenditure of their\nphysical and mental energy on the natural resources\nof mother earth produce the wealth of the world\n(and there is no other method of producing Avealth\nthan by the application of human energy) are generally poor, while those Avho do not engage in useful\nlabor have all the good things of life ?\nThink it over! It may prove as profitable and\nstimulating as dreaming of the big crop \"NEXT\nYEAR.\" T. O.\nLiterature Price List\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nCloth Bound Par Copy\nA. B.
