class has always brought a war, and the subject class has fought the
battle. The master class has had all to gain and nothing to lose, and
the subject class has had all to lose and nothing to gain. They have
always taught you that it is your patriotic duty to go to war and
slaughter yourselves at their command. You have never had a voice in the
war. The working class who made the sacrifices, who shed the blood, have
never yet had a voice in declaring war. The ruling class has always made
the war and made the peace.

"Another bit of history I want to review is that of Rose Pastor Stokes,
another inspiring comrade. She had her millions of dollars. Her devotion

but her message opened the eyes of the people. That must be suppressed.
That voice must be silenced. Her trial in a capitalist court was very
farcical. What chance had she in a corporation court with a put-up jury
and a corporation tool on the bench?

"Every Socialist on the face of the earth is animated by the same
principles. Everywhere they have the same noble idea, everywhere they
are calling one another 'comrade,' the noblest word that springs from
the heart and soul of unity. The word 'comrade' is getting us into
closer touch all along the battle line. They are waging the war of the
working class against the ruling class of the world. They conquer
difficulties; they grow stronger through them all.
