17416Does human nature, as history, as psychology, and as physiology reveal it to us, give us any grounds, in fact, for taking such an assertion seriously?
17416Does it go to the labourers who have produced it?
17416Does it produce, then, sixty, or sixty- five, or seventy, or eighty- three, or what?
17416For what is the bait with which, from its first beginnings till to- day, socialism has sought to secure the support of the general multitude?
17416For what, he goes on to ask, was the cause of such wide- spread horrors?
17416For what, he says, as a fact do we find the inventors doing?
17416How are we to explain the presence of the additional twenty- six?
17416How could a man do anything unless he had some environment?
17416How would America be helped in the construction of the Panama Canal by learning from sociologists that man could remove mountains?
17416How would a mother, whose child was hovering between life and death, be comforted by the information that man was a great physician?
17416How, we might ask, is it to acquire this latter character by being turned into a desire for what is produced by other people?
17416In a word, does ordinary labour, or the industrial effort of the majority, contain in itself any principle of advance at all?
17416Is human nature in general, and the nature of the monopolists in particular, sufficiently adaptable to admit of such a change as this?
17416Is it defensible on grounds of abstract justice?
17416Is it due to such labour as that of the"untirable human animals,"to which Mill refers as an example of labour in its intensest form?
17416Is the proposal practicable?
17416Now, how would Christian socialism alter a state of things like this?
17416Now, what does all this talk about the emancipation of labour mean?
17416Now, why is this?
17416Or what will happen if we take two girders away?
17416Such being the case, then, asks the writer, what does Christian socialism aim at?
17416The fact on which it bases itself is no doubt true enough; but what is the utmost that it proves?
17416The first economic"lesson"in it begins thus:"Who creates all wealth?
17416The remotest of these ancestors-- why were they horses at all?
17416The successful development of the automobile did not take place till yesterday-- and why?
17416To what is this development of knowledge, of methods, and of machinery due?
17416To what, then, was this increase in industrial productivity due?
17416Two problems with which modern socialism is confronted: How would it test its able men so as to select the best of them for places of power?
17416Unless he had some past, how could he exist at all?
17416What kind of equal opportunity can be possibly provided for them now?
17416What rewards could it offer them which would induce them systematically to develop, and be willing to exercise, their exceptional faculties?
17416What to the astronomer are all the dykes of Holland?
17416What will happen if they do not?
17416What will happen without an additional girder?
17416What would be the result if all who inherited capital spent it as income, instead of living on the interest of it?
17416What, then, as a theory, are the distinctive features of socialism?
17416What, then, is the common measure, in accordance with which, as a fact, one kind of commodity will exchange for any other, or any others?
17416What, then, is the explanation of his indulging in a performance of this degrading kind?
17416When the capital is provided, how will it first be used?
17416Where has this addition to the income of labour come from?
17416Who are the workers?
17416Why does the speed of this horse exceed that of the others?
17416Why must the permissible amounts of income and of bequeathable property be of proportions such as those which he contemplates?
17416Why should they be considered?
17416Why, then, speak of ability?"
17416Why, they say in effect, should you listen to the agitator in the street, when we can give you something just as good from the pulpit?
17416Will the stone fall or not?
17416Yes-- but for what reason?
17416Yes; but how much more?
60315And the revolution there?
60315But if even such small improvements had not resulted from the Revolution,I argued,"what purpose has it served?"
60315But what can the Government do in the face of the food shortage?
60315Do you expect to get the documents out?
60315Has the Revolution given you nothing?
60315Have not their tactics and methods been imposed on the Bolsheviki by intervention and blockade?
60315Instinctive Anarchists?
60315Is not the theft of flour the cause of the strict surveillance?
60315Is there a recreation room, a place where they can eat or drink their tea and inhale a bit of fresh air?
60315Protest, to whom?
60315These people come to Russia just to look us over,one of the Red Army men said;"do they know anything about us or are they interested in how we live?
60315Thousands of Russian working women have no more, and why should I?
60315We have been compelled to mobilize an army to fight our external enemies why not an army to fight our worst internal enemy, hunger? 60315 Well,_ batyushka_, how is it with you?"
60315What am I to do?
60315What do you mean by morally defective?
60315What is this?
60315Where do these unfortunates come from?
60315Why have n''t you raised your voice against these evils, against this machine that is sapping the life blood of the Revolution?
60315Why should they not see the true state of Russia? 60315 Would not the Tcheka prefer to confiscate the goods of the big delicatessen and fruit stores on the Kreschatik?"
60315You know of the insurgent movement in America against our public school method of education, the work done by Professor Dewey and others?
60315You surely do not mean the American public school system?
60315You want to know my views on the present situation and my attitude toward the Bolsheviki?
60315And Shatov?
60315And his scheme-- was it the Revolution?
60315And our children?
60315And then, was not Lenin also guilty of the same methods?
60315And who will rest in these homes?
60315But how can they get more work out of us?
60315But what is this strange writing on the wall?
60315But what was I to tell them, and would they believe me if I did?
60315But, then-- had not Zorin told me that capital punishment had been abolished in Russia?
60315Could such a condition of affairs be avoided in a revolutionary period and in a country so little developed industrially as Russia?
60315Did I"intend to remain a free bird"was one of his first questions, or would I be willing to join him in his work?
60315Did he not fear I would report him?
60315Did not Zorin say that capital punishment had been abolished?
60315Did the American woman believe in free motherhood and was she familiar with the subject of birth control?
60315Did you see any shortage of food there?
60315Do the visitors know anything about us?"
60315Free speech, free press, the spiritual achievements of centuries, what were they to this man?
60315Had I misunderstood the meaning and nature of revolution?
60315Had the Red Dawn broken into the narrow lives of these ascetics?
60315Had the Revolution penetrated even the walls of superstition?
60315How can they be blamed?
60315How could they be guilty of the terrible things charged against them?
60315How did these things get to the markets?
60315How explain this astonishing lack of response?
60315How soon will the Revolution be there?
60315How, then, could the Bolsheviki maintain themselves in power?
60315I had never called upon the police before, I informed him; why should I do so in revolutionary Russia?
60315If the Revolution really had to support so much brutality and crime, what was the purpose of the Revolution, after all?
60315Is that what you mean?"
60315Is there any change in the world?
60315Look at the bread,"he said, holding up a black crust;"can we live on that?
60315Occasionally they sought to mask their killings by pretending a"misunderstanding,"for does n''t the end justify all means?
60315One of his first questions was,"When could the Social Revolution be expected in America?"
60315Or is it all an eternal recurrence of man''s inhumanity to man?
60315Or was it the political machine which the Bolsheviki have created-- is that the force which is crushing the Revolution?
60315Or was their great need of European help father to their wish?
60315Was I to join this tragic procession, submit to the political yoke?
60315Was it different in America?
60315Was not violence inevitable in a revolution, and was it not imposed upon the Bolsheviki by the Interventionists?
60315Was their judgment so faulty because they had been cut off from Europe and America so long?
60315Were not initiative and freedom essential?
60315Were the conditions I found inevitable-- the callous indifference to human life, the terrorism, the waste and agony of it all?
60315Were these really nuns?
60315What about persecution and terror-- were all the horrors inevitable, or was there some fault in Bolshevism itself?
60315What are the Workers''and Peasants''Soviets doing?
60315What did it mean?
60315What except moral defection could result from such a heritage?"
60315What greater service could one render the Russian people?
60315What had happened?
60315What is the Communist Government doing for these unfortunates?
60315What relation could there be between Tammany Hall, Boss Murphy, and the Soviet Government?
60315What was his opinion?
60315What was that machine?
60315Who defeated Denikin and the other counter- revolutionary generals?
60315Who directed its movements?
60315Who else but the people, the peasants and the workers, made it impossible for the German and Austrian army to remain in the Ukraine?
60315Who triumphed over Koltchak and Yudenitch?
60315Who was buying the finery of the past, and where did the purchasing power come from?
60315Why are we kept here?"
60315Why be surprised now?"
60315Why did Zorin resort to lies?
60315Why did not Shatov come to meet us?
60315Why did you come to starving Russia?"
60315Why had he been silent so long?
60315Why should one have to give up his freedom, especially in educational work?
60315Why should they have to gather in secret and in such a place?
60315Why should they not learn how the Russian people live?"
60315Why this shooting?
60315Would I have believed any adverse criticism before I came to Russia?
60315Would he see me?
60315Would it ever come to Russia?
60315Would she see me?
60315Would the watchmaker take fifty pounds?
60315Would we join in the work?
60315Zinoviev, Radek, Zorin, Ravitch, and many others I had learned to know-- could they in the name of an ideal lie, defame, torture, kill?
60315is that what we made the Revolution for, or was it to do away with masters?
60315who is it calls for such a luxury?"
38982But why,asks Kautsky,"did you not summon a new Constituent Assembly?"
38982But, in that case, in what do your tactics differ from the tactics of Tsarism?
38982Wherein, then, does your Socialism,Abramovich cries,"differ from Egyptian slavery?
38982(_ What are the Bolshevists doing?_ Published by Dr. Nath.
38982All this is splendid-- only why do not the Mensheviks offer us several hundred boards?
38982And after all, how should he think of them?
38982And at what moment?
38982And why?
38982And, first of all, whence does this come?
38982And, if the collegiate principle is not a sacred gospel for the workshops, why is it compulsory for the factories?
38982Are we depriving ourselves of Cadet and Menshevik criticisms of the corruption of the working class?
38982Are we not dealing here with"shades of opinion"in the proletarian or the Socialist movement?
38982But did we not hear exactly the same criticism, at bottom, when we had recourse to extensive mobilizations for military problems?
38982But does this mean that Trotsky had to be rash enough to continue the war against Germany?
38982But how are we to get at it?
38982But in that case, what happens to the class struggle altogether?
38982But in this connection there was always less thought"( amongst whom?
38982But it is quite justifiable to ask: Did the latter correspond to the balance of power?
38982But then, why have Soviets sprung up in Germany?
38982But what does the art of exegesis exist for?
38982But what then becomes of the sacredness of human life?
38982But where is your guarantee, certain wise men ask us, that it is just your party that expresses the interests of historical development?
38982But will the partners agree?
38982But with what did we begin?
38982But, perhaps, we are expected to consider them"intolerable"?
38982By what other path then can it be attained?
38982By whose decision?
38982Can it be otherwise?
38982Can it, without a fight, abandon its booty altogether?
38982Did we, by our conduct, give the European workers even the shadow of a ground to place us in the same category as German imperialism?
38982Do you grasp this... distinction?
38982Does Kautsky desire to insist that we should allow the parties which support Denikin to come out into the open?
38982Economic pressure or legal compulsion?
38982Firstly: Why did we summon the Constituent Assembly when we had in view the dictatorship of the proletariat?
38982How are we practically to begin the utilization of labor- power on the basis of compulsory military service?
38982How are we productively to organize it?
38982How are we to apply it?
38982However, even here it is permissible to ask: Does the policy of Clemenceau himself really correspond to the balance of power?
38982If collegiate administration is a"school,"why do we not require an elementary school?
38982In what way?
38982In what, however, lies the difference between them?
38982Is an insurrection of oppressed slaves against their masters permissible?
38982Is it permissible to purchase one''s freedom at the cost of the life of one''s jailers?
38982Is it permissible to suppress newspapers?
38982Is it still necessary to confute Kautsky theoretically?
38982Is there still theoretical necessity to justify revolutionary terrorism?
38982Is this true?
38982It is true that compulsory labor is always unproductive?
38982May one kill the murderer to save oneself?
38982Or does he reduce the whole question to the_ degree_ of repression, and recommend in all circumstances imprisonment instead of execution?
38982Ought one not absolutely to repudiate them in the Ebert Republic?
38982Perhaps Kautsky has invented other methods?
38982Since what time has this been admitted by our Kautskians?
38982The whole question is, did we allow ourselves to be utilized?
38982The whole question is: who applies the principle of compulsion, over whom, and for what purpose?
38982The working class or the landlord class, Pharaohs or peasants, White Guards or the Petrograd proletariat?
38982There is a difference, gentlemen, and it is defined by a fundamental test: who is in power?
38982To dismiss them to the four corners of the earth, saying"seek for better conditions where you can find them, comrades"?
38982We ask what does compulsory labor mean here, that is, to what kind of labor is it opposed?
38982What State, what class, in what conditions, by what methods?
38982What are the conclusions to be drawn from that experience?
38982What are we to understand, in that case, by free labor?
38982What did I say in reality?
38982What does this mean?
38982What happened in reality?
38982What methods have we, then, for the re- education of the workers?
38982What tasks?
38982What thoughts have they in common with us?
38982What would Kautsky say to this rank betrayal, Kautsky, the foremost disciple of Marx, Kautsky, the foremost theoretician of the Second International?
38982What, however, will be the"constitutional"position of the Soviets in the republic of Zeiz, Renner and company?
38982When a murderer raises his knife over a child, may one kill the murderer to save the child?
38982When it came to a real struggle, and to the creation of a real army against the real enemies of the working class, what did you do then?
38982When suggesting to us the election of a Constituent Assembly, does Kautsky propose the stopping of the civil war for the purpose of the elections?
38982Whence have they appeared?
38982Where is the difference?
38982Why do we speak of_ militarization_?
38982Why should we not introduce boards into the workshops?
38982Why?
38982Will he at least speak up?
38982Will it come, the seeming inevitable?
38982Will not thereby the principle of the"sacredness of human life"be infringed?
38982Will there be any need of it then?
38982Would it pay for itself?
38982Would not the fate of the Russian Revolution long ago have been sealed?
38982Would the Red soldiers work?
38982Would their work be sufficiently productive?
38982Yes?
38982You do not understand this, holy men?
38982_ How could their lives be spared any longer_ after the blood- bath with which MacMahon''s Pretorians celebrated their entry into Paris?"

35687***** Shall we then turn back in despair, and give it up that Association on the large scale is impossible?
35687After supper I was standing near some men in the sitting- room, when one said to another,''How high is your God?''
35687After this luminous introduction, Mr. Dana, the editor of the_ Sun_, followed with the article ensuing:"WILL IT SUCCEED?
35687Again:''If ye love not one another, how can ye be my disciples?''
35687Am I to be astonished by hearing sensible men declare, because mankind have been the victims of false relations, that these things are impracticable?
35687And all for the benefit of whom?
35687And are we all at once to abandon, to deny, to destroy this supposed stronghold of virtue?
35687Any kind of government?
35687Any particular trades?
35687Are men forever to be such consummate fools as to neglect even the colossal profits of Association?
35687Are you a man?
35687As these two principles are thus expanding side by side, the question arises, Which on the whole is prevailing and destined to prevail?
35687At what season did they go to examine the country?
35687But about the committee which you say consisted of an artist, mechanic and a doctor; what report did they make concerning the land?
35687But might it not be enforced that the two family ideas really neutralize each other?
35687But must not, therefore, individual( or dual) union cease?
35687But the question returns after all, Which is primary and which is secondary?
35687But with this theory how shall we account for the failure of Brook Farm and Hopedale?
35687Can any example of success be found where this second condition is not present?
35687Can it be, we ask ourselves, that Owen had such conflicts with whiskey- tippling, but never a fight with the love- mania?
35687Can persons take their earnings away with them when they leave?
35687Could not such a sum be raised?
35687Did the associates agree or disagree, and in what?
35687Did they obtain aid from without?
35687Do I censure their want of foresight?
35687Do I regret this trial?
35687Do you assist runaway slaves?
35687Do you call dis Community?
35687Do you express opinions and principles as a body?
35687Do you know any persons in your neighborhood who will for one year, three years, five years, contribute for this end?
35687Do you object to religionists?
35687Does it contain within itself the elements of success?
35687Does the majority govern the minority?
35687For before the judgment- seat of his sayings, how do our governments, our trades, our etiquettes, even our benevolent institutions and churches look?
35687For instance, I require such information as the following questions would call forth, viz:"1. Who originated it, or how was it originated?
35687Had you any capitalists among you?
35687Have the Brocton people enough of it to carry them safely through?
35687Have you any delegated power?
35687Have you any form of society or test for admission of members?
35687He very rapidly asked me the object of my book: what good would it do?
35687Here is a specimen of our dialogue:"Do you make laws?
35687His own opinion of the cause of the catastrophe, he gives in the following words:"What were the causes of these failures?
35687How could it be otherwise?
35687How does it appear that he"combined the enunciation of general principles of social organization with actual experiments?"
35687How long did they keep together?
35687How was the land obtained?
35687How were members admitted?
35687How, then, can it be hoped that there is universal affection sufficient to unite many such families in one body for the common good?
35687I hope we do not disturb you?
35687If God be for us, of which we have sufficient evidence, who can prevail against us?
35687If successful, what were the causes of success?
35687In our societies, with their constantly recurring revulsions and ruin, would they not be wise in so doing?"
35687In the name of history we ask, Why has not George William Curtis himself made the permanent record?
35687Is dis common property?
35687Is it founded upon notions that promise any considerable advance upon the present form of society?
35687Is it not quite certain that the human heart can not be set in two places?
35687Is it questioned whether the family arrangement of mankind is to be preserved?
35687Is this mixture of male and female so very potent, as to hinder universal or even general union?
35687Is this the right way?
35687Must you be Grahamites?
35687Now how is this to be done?
35687Of course it was necessary, before they could be admitted, to decide the question,''Can they be useful to the Association?''
35687Or is their religion of too transcendental a character to form a sure and tenacious cement for their social structure?
35687Or will a combination of both keep its place in the world hereafter, as it has done hitherto?
35687Pray, sir, how and where did the Sylvania Association originate?
35687Religion is their first principle; what is their second?
35687Shall we clear the generals, and leave the poor soldiers to be called volunteer fools, without the comfort even of being in good company?
35687The question for the future is, Will the Revivalists go forward into Socialism; or will the Socialists go forward into Revivalism?
35687The reader will perhaps expect us to say something from our stand- point, in answer to Mr. Dana''s question,"Will it succeed?"
35687Their education, natural intelligence and morality?
35687They were never asked when applying for membership,''Do you believe so and so?''
35687Was all the property put into common stock?
35687Was it free or mortgaged?
35687Was there a written or printed constitution or laws?
35687Were pledges, fines, oaths, or any coercive means used?
35687Were the new circumstances of the associates superior or inferior to the circumstances they enjoyed previous to their associating?
35687What are the terms of admission?
35687What have you to say of them?
35687What if Napoleon had written out a programme for the battle of Austerlitz, and then left one of his aids- de- camp to superintend the actual fighting?
35687What is there in all this that entitles St. Simon to a place among the theoretico- practicals?
35687What kind of a theory of chemistry can a man write without a laboratory?
35687What more could be asked from nature?
35687What particular person or persons took the lead?
35687What religious belief, and if any, how preached and practised?
35687What then has been Fourier''s function?
35687What then shall we say of the rank- and- file that formed themselves into Phalanxes and marched into the wilderness to the music of Fourierism?
35687What was the difficulty?
35687What was the number of persons in the Association?
35687What were its means in land and money?
35687What were its principles and objects?
35687What were their trades, occupations and amount of skill?
35687What were they, and who got them when the society left?
35687What will the next ten years bring forth?"
35687When and where did the Association commence its experiment?
35687When and why did they break up?
35687When he had concluded I asked if those who wished to join the society were expected to acknowledge a belief in all the articles of their faith?
35687Where shall we end?
35687Where was the mistake?
35687Who after this can be so cold as not to bid them good speed?
35687Who ever had such motive for action?
35687Who owned it?
35687Who so niggardly as to withhold from them their mite?
35687Who so ungenerous as to speak to their disparagement?
35687Why did they fail?
35687Why has not George Ripley taken the story out of the mouths of the sneerers?
35687Why not begin to move the mountain of custom and convention?
35687Will you not aid?
35687Would Mr. Brisbane repeat such a farce?"
35687_ C._--But you encouraged capitalists to join your society?
35687_ C._--Does this not result from ignorance of the principles, or a want of faith in them?
35687_ C._--How long did the Association remain on the place?
35687_ C._--How much stock did the members take?
35687_ C._--Was his theory the society''s practice?
35687_ C._--What improvements were upon it, and what were the conditions of sale?
35687_ C._--What were the qualifications of the men who were appointed to select the location?
35687_ C._--When did the members proceed to the domain, and how did they progress there?
35687_ E.H.H._--How did your company succeed in their new movement?
35687_ E.H.H._--Would it not have been better if your company of thirty had been patient, and gone on quietly till the others were converted to your views?
35687_ Requiescat in pace!_ Where is the Phoenix Association that is to arise from its ashes?
35687and if so which will be primary and which secondary, and how will they be harmonized?
35687and that means, which is primary in the order of truth, and which is secondary?
35687if so can you send me a copy?
35687in Owenism or Fourierism?
35687that man can not worship at two altars?
35687was there any standard by which to judge them, or any property qualification necessary?
35687what was it for?
23428And the blast- furnaces? 23428 But how?
23428Again, to whom do we owe the transatlantic cable?
23428And has not Marx asserted that the same distinction is equally logical between two branches of manual labour?
23428And if he can not, what is it that hinders him?"
23428And those others-- the average workers who are sent away by the better- class factories as soon as business is slackened?
23428And to- day is it not still the same thing?
23428And what need to know them?
23428And why should India not manufacture?
23428And why should not small households send their crockery to an establishment as well as their boots?
23428And, moreover, Is the coal they have extracted entirely_ their_ work?
23428But during our own lifetime, have we not heard the same fears expressed twice?
23428But even this well- being, which is the exclusive right of a few, is it secure?
23428But have we not said and repeated over and over again, that as long as there are capitalists, these abuses of power will be perpetuated?
23428But how can the painter express the poetry of work in the fields if he has only contemplated it, imagined it, if he has never delighted in it himself?
23428But how can we appraise the work of each one of them?
23428But if Lyons manufactured imported silk, why should not Switzerland, Germany, Russia, do as much?
23428But if water were actually scarce, what would be done?
23428But is there no other cause?
23428But the exploiters of labour, how many are they?
23428But upon what basis must society be organized in order that all may have their due share of food produce?
23428But what are we to do to alter the conditions that everybody is convinced are bad?
23428But what is this to an authoritarian?
23428But what was offered to the husbandman in exchange for his hard toil?
23428But, before producing anything, must you not feel the need of it?
23428By what right then can any one whatever appropriate the least morsel of this immense whole and say-- This is mine, not yours?
23428Can there be two answers to these questions?
23428Can they produce all this?
23428Can this be a relic of religious metaphysics?
23428Could we endure them in a society that began by proclaiming equality?
23428Do n''t you think that there is some fundamental error in your understanding of human nature and its needs?"
23428Each time we speak of revolution, the face of the worker who has seen children wanting food darkens and he asks--"What of bread?
23428Has it not created concessions, guarantees?
23428Has it not sent its soldiers against railwaymen on strike?
23428Have we ever known them demand the impossible?
23428How are the necessary provisions to be obtained if the nation as a whole has not accepted Communism?
23428How are you to prevent a person from amassing millions in China, and then settling amongst you?
23428How can it be done?"
23428How could he find dock labourers willing to load and unload his ships for"starvation wages"?
23428How do they continue to convey millions of travellers and mountains of luggage across a continent?
23428How then can food, without which the human machine could do no work, be excluded from the list of things indispensable to the producer?
23428How then, shall we estimate the share of each in the riches which ALL contribute to amass?
23428How?
23428II How many hours a day will man have to work to produce nourishing food, a comfortable home, and necessary clothing for his family?
23428If companies owning railways have been able to agree, why should railway workers, who would take possession of railways, not agree likewise?
23428If he only knows it as a bird of passage knows the country he soars over in his migrations?
23428If the answer is in the affirmative,--What hinders them going ahead?
23428If the most imperious needs of man remain unsatisfied now,--What must we do to increase the productivity of our work?
23428In order to avoid an accidental and transitory inequality, shall we stay our hand from righting an ancient wrong?
23428In the streets wander scores of thousands of men, and in the evening they crowd into improvised clubs, asking:"What shall we do?"
23428Is it he who is the most necessary man in the mine?
23428Is it not also the work of the men who have built the railway leading to the mine and the roads that radiate from all the railway stations?
23428Is it not the study of the needs that should govern production?
23428Is it the doctor who has found out the illness, or the nurse who has brought about recovery by her hygienic care?
23428Is it the engineer on the locomotive?
23428Is it the miner at the bottom of the shaft, who risks his life every instant, and who will some day be killed by fire- damp?
23428Is it time that is needed to achieve such a result?
23428Is it to Maury, the learned physical geographer, who advised that thick cables should be set aside for others as thin as a walking cane?
23428Is not the Paris Commune an instance in point?
23428Knowledge?
23428Must they on his account dissolve the group, elect a president to impose fines, and work out a code of penalties?
23428Must we wait till the Communist Revolution is ripe in all civilized countries?
23428Now, how much do twenty million work- days of five hours make per inhabitant?
23428Or is it the engineer, who would lose the layer of coal, and would cause the miners to dig on rock by a simple mistake in his calculations?
23428Or, is it perhaps the boy who signals to him from below to raise the cage?
23428Shall we be inferior to our grandfathers, who hardly lisped the first words of science?
23428Shall we, then, return to our starting- point, and go through the same evolution again?
23428The fatherland does not exist.... What fatherland can the international banker and the rag- picker have in common?
23428The people will suffer and say:"How is a way out of these difficulties to be found?"
23428The question is, then: whether, taking the present capacity of men for production, every man can have a house of his own?
23428The revolted city will be compelled to do without these"foreigners,"and why not?
23428The signalman who stops the trains, or lets them pass by?
23428The switchman who transfers a train from one line to another?
23428They gave to the work the full measure of their strength, and what more could they give?
23428V And what about art?
23428V By what means could a city in a state of revolution be supplied with food?
23428Was it not necessity that first drove man to hunt, to raise cattle, to cultivate land, to make implements, and later on to invent machinery?
23428Well, then,--What are we going to do when the thunderbolt has fallen?
23428What can be more stupid than rubbing a boot twenty or thirty times with a brush?
23428What difference could a thousand corpses more or less make to him?
23428What does our baron do to enrich himself?
23428What have you gained by your Revolution?"
23428What if the peasants, ignorant tools of reaction, starve our towns as the black bands did in France in 1793--what shall we do?"
23428What is to be done to provide these multitudes with bread?
23428What means has the scientist of to- day to make researches that interest him?
23428What must they do to remove the obstacles?
23428What need to rack our brains when we have the time- honoured method of the Pharaohs at our disposal?
23428What progeny will these trembling and rickety bodies bequeath to their country?
23428What should be the hindrance?
23428What then is to be done?
23428What would a London dockyard or a great Paris warehouse be if they were not situated in these great centres of international commerce?
23428What, too, shall we say to the price which is paid for the relative well- being of certain categories of workmen?
23428Whence will the revolution come?
23428Where, indeed, should it come from?
23428Which one of us can claim the higher remuneration for his work?
23428Who can say that it will not call coercion to its aid again, and set the police pack upon the tenant to hound him out of his hovels?
23428Who does not know what sufferings nearly all great inventions have cost?
23428Who of us has not heard men hold forth in this strain?
23428Who will have a right to the food of the commune?
23428Who, then, can appropriate to himself the tiniest plot of ground, or the meanest building in such a city, without committing a flagrant injustice?
23428Who, then, has the right to sell to any bidder the smallest portion of the common heritage?
23428Who, then, would regulate the traffic if not the Government?"
23428Why fifty fires, when two people and one single fire would suffice to cook all these pieces of meat and all these vegetables?
23428Why has woman''s work never been of any account?
23428Why in every family are the mother and three or four servants obliged to spend so much time at what pertains to cooking?
23428Why roast the founders, when heat lost by radiation represents tons of coal?
23428Why should not a social genius come forward, carry Europe with him and translate the new Gospel into life?
23428Why should we not apply, then, the same principle to the other extremity?
23428Why should we use a machine?
23428Why then are the many poor?
23428Why this painful drudgery for the masses?
23428Will literature lose by it?
23428Will the poet be less a poet after having worked out of doors or helped with his hands to multiply his work?
23428Will there be sufficient, if everyone eats according to his appetite?
23428Will they continue to shut themselves up in factories after the Revolution?
23428Would he burden himself with a lease which absorbed a third of the produce?
23428Would he-- on the_ métayer_ system-- consent to give half of his harvest to the landowner?
23428Would it not be better to start fresh by turning everybody out of doors and redistributing the houses by lot?"
23428You would work like the wife of our good comrade Paul or the wife of John the carpenter?"
23428and have we not constant evidence of this fact in every village commune?
23428and the great dockers''strike?
23428and what is hindering him from having it?
23428how will it announce its coming?
19150''And you made those bricks he sold?'' 19150 ''And your propaganda programme,''I ventured,''is as strong and far- reaching as ever?''
19150''Are the members of your local prepared to take over and conduct wisely and well the affairs of your town and county? 19150 ''Are you trying to get me a little conviction, also, Judge?''
19150''But I say, how much will the boss sell those bricks for?'' 19150 ''But did n''t you make them?''
19150''But where does he get the money to pay you with?'' 19150 ''But why do you make them, if you do n''t intend to use them for anything?''
19150''But why does n''t the Socialist administration take control of industry and commerce, and put the interests out of power?'' 19150 ''But wo n''t the Third Internationale send its Russian agitators abroad then, thus making it unnecessary for you to come here?''
19150''Did he dig the clay hole?'' 19150 ''Do n''t know what you are going to do with your own bricks?''
19150''Do n''t you think you''d better come inside?... 19150 ''How long will it take you to make them?''
19150''How much does the boss pay you for working so hard?'' 19150 ''How should I know?
19150''If Mr. Debs were elected in 1920, how would you proceed to inaugurate[12] him, as he is serving a twenty- year sentence?'' 19150 ''Is it part of the Socialist Party plans to use the general strike to back up political action?''
19150''Oh, did n''t he make the kiln?'' 19150 ''Then how comes it that the boss owns them?''
19150''What are the bricks for?'' 19150 ''Why do they dig clay holes?''
19150''Why? 19150 And what happened?
19150Do you know that a regular secret service system is being employed by these''bosses''to hunt down the undesirables? 19150 Shall we honor the Massachusetts militiamen who, without the slightest provocation, murdered a young worker?
19150Shall we pray to a power not human For guidance miraculous When the nearest man or woman Will give help, and without that fuss? 19150 The fear that weighs upon the world of Capitalism and the diplomats in Paris is: Who next?
19150What does he trust in? 19150 What flag?
19150What will Russia do if this be so? 19150 Which of these, think you, Mr. Wage- Slave, is your friend and the friend of your class?....
19150Why do you not go away from here?
19150Why the sudden change of front? 19150 Why, then, hesitate to affiliate with them?"
19150You are still alive?
19150''What for?''
19150..."''Do you uphold and approve of, as a leader of the Socialist Party, the words that Mr. Debs pronounced, and for which he was convicted?''
19150..."''Have you any respect at all for the decision of the tribunal to the contrary?''
19150And for what?
19150And was this to give Soviet Russia a chance to put through a temporary peace or truce with Europe to stave off"economic catastrophe?"
19150And what is it that Noske and his''Socialist''colleagues are defending?
19150And what shall we say of such evidence?
19150Are bakery workers planning to go on strike?
19150Are n''t we taking a long excursion into the domain of the future and into the domain of speculation?
19150Are we to take it at its own word?
19150Are you going to present something to them that you know is not contained in the Socialist program?
19150Are you prepared to meet the militia when the powers of the State and courts are against you?
19150Are you training your members in scientific Socialism?''
19150Arson?
19150At$ 1,000,000,$ 10,000,$ 1,000, or$ 100?
19150Blasphemy?
19150But does American labor think such an experiment_ here_ would be worth what it costs?
19150But how?
19150But if this public profession of lawfulness meant nothing to 70,000 of them, why think it means more to the rest?
19150But what of the Russian workers?
19150But why not strike against this slavery?

19150CHAPTER XXIV EXPERTS IN THE ART OF DECEPTION 363 Must Socialism Be Good Because Something Else Is Bad?
19150Can anything be sacred which is based on a lie or on impurity, or on ignorance?
19150Can they give any convincing argument?
19150Can you afford, as representatives of this great revolutionary party, to do that which in a few years you will be ashamed of?
19150Could idiocy be more abject?
19150Counterfeiting?
19150Did Christ ascend into heaven?
19150Did Christ rise from the dead as Christianity teaches?
19150Did he allude to some pink tea party?
19150Do not the Marxians know that poverty, rather than wealth, fosters religion and piety, the greatest of all factors in keeping persons pure?
19150Do not the"workmen"produce the food?
19150Do the Reds deny that millions and millions of the very poorest are chaste?
19150Do the Socialists claim that the average poor woman is less moral than the average rich one?
19150Do we exaggerate the humbuggery of leadership uncloaked in this Emergency Convention of the Socialist Party of America?
19150Do you hope to deceive some one as to the actual, real program of scientific Socialism?
19150Do you think that is nice?
19150Does he work?
19150Does the wireless operator know who may intercept his call?
19150Even if at last they are able to produce and distribute enough to clothe and feed themselves, can human beings be happy in such a state?
19150Has it changed since the break with the Communists?
19150Has man an immortal soul as Christianity teaches?
19150Has the Socialist Party of America contributed its Executive Committeeman to this revolutionary machine?
19150Has your manhood rotted into cowardice?
19150Have the Socialist peoples the world over become truly"divine"by their attacks on God and all religions?
19150Have they become"omnipotent"wherever they are in power-- so omnipotent that law, order and decency are no longer needed?
19150He continued:"What is the charge here?
19150Hillquit''s letter in the"Call"raised the question,"What shall be the attitude of the Socialist Party toward the newly formed Communist organization?"
19150Hillquit, do you wish to be understood as saying that you approve of the words spoken by Mr. Debs for which he was convicted?''
19150Honor that which gives a free license to kill, if the victim happens to be a worker?
19150Honor that which stands for oppression, for the loafer against the worker, for the master against the slave?
19150Honor the Judases, the Benedict Arnolds of the working class?
19150Honor the uniform?
19150How can the power be cut off?
19150How could insurance companies, in which the American people have invested so much, and which depend on interest, exist under Socialism?
19150How did man originate?
19150How do we know whether the co- operative commonwealth will infer and arrange it in that way?
19150How long, O poor and exhausted workingmen of the world, will the shameful comedy continue?
19150If Moscow''s"programs and methods"are only the minor reason for supporting Moscow, what is the major reason for this"support?"
19150If a man can control a few votes, they reason, why should n''t he have a job?
19150If a man wanted ten pairs of sandals or shoes he could have them, but why would he want them?
19150If a wage slave is paid only enough to live on, anyhow, what difference to him does it make whether his boss is a Britisher or a Chinaman?"
