TRAITORS TO OTJR DEMOCRACY.
The general definition of"a traitor
ifa one "who' gifee aid and comfort to
, (he enemy." This is' usually applied
to direct action, is lh thi dldl&oma
movement in opposition to tho draft,
or the encouragement of draft eva
talons, or when an American cltlien re
peals our war plans to German.
Such actri coastltuta direct' treason;
but there is A kind of lndlrectreaon,
much harder to define and combat, yet
often far more dangerous to our coun
try and the success of the war than
direct treason. Before the w'artbere
were in this country many Social,
political, or humanitarian movements
on foot, all of which were radical
(that Is to say, advocates of change)
lln their programs. Such, for' example,
were the Socialists, the Land Tax re
formers, the Pacifists. Out all of
.these asserted faith in the democratic
principle in government and wished to
.gain their ends by converting our
democracy. Most of the adherents
MC these various movements have rec
ognized that this democracy of ours
(having entered upon war, tnust be
(supported that special programs
ust, for the moment, bo subordinated
fa the one great object of winning the
foar. But there are some persons so

culated to "Weaken our efficiency, In
war. These people are traitors to our
democracy. ... - - --
The whole matter Is, summed up by
the Single. Tax Journal of (California
(iTpervrnan,. Noveoher, 1917)- "Wil
son's business now is to win, tho. war,
and win it soon. , . . . The radical
press should stop knocking him and
attend to; Its, own business which
to-create the-democracy that the Allies
are-i to make the world safe for. To
fight war, after It la on. Is bootless.
To hinder its u!cfc, effective prosecu
tion is, of course; traitorous."
But there are other methods than
radical speech which can "hinder the
quick, effective prosecution of the
war." Labor organizations, long en
gaged In a struggle for better labor
conditions, may see In the existence of
war an opportuplty tp secure their de
mands. It Buch demands are unusual
and If they would have been unjusti
fied -had there, been no war-if labor
seeks to take special advantage of he
existence of 'war, then such labor Is
traitorous. It hinders the successful
prosecution of the war. For the most
part, labor organizations have not
sought such special advantage, but
a few have done so, and in public es
timation they stand as traitors to our
democracy.
Business men men with capital
are not free from the Imputation - of
traitorous conduct. That mac whe
places bis 'own business interests
above' the Interests of the nation In
this war Is-'traltorouslynminded. If
he deliberately Seeks broht at the ex
pense'ef national efficiency (as In the
sale of undergrade materials to the
government) he . should be punished,
nn tlmnlv a jl rVlPdt hut as tf traitor.
This Is the rare exception. . it Is the
almost unconscious exaltation of his
own business Interests, however, that
makes the average business man dan
gerously liable to traitorous . conduct.
There Is no such thing as 'business
as-usual" during a war.

"Against Germany's lust for dominion,
America's purpose Is to establish the
society of nations. Against destruc

mastery, America's ideal !s service.
"We cannot surpass the steadfast
ness of Britain, the courage of Italy,
the exaltation of France.
"We cannot excel the Allies in hero
ism, In endurance, In fortitude. Our
force In battle, though It may be de
cisive, will not be as great as theirs.
"We can hope to contribute most to
the common cause from our larger
resources. Toi reliove desperate pri
vation, America can supply. food.
"Giving upiwheat is a little thing
compared to Ahelr death struggle In
which our soldiers are splendidly
