Recanted His Opinions
"Syndicalism" was written in Iflll.
In October. 1M!. when Mr. Poster
km a witness before thp Senate com
mittee InvcstiKatliiB the steel industry,
he largely repudiated thee iJoctrnu-H.
"Somo of it I still believe iu; omo
of It I don't," he nnswercd when por
tions of tile book were read to him.
Pressed to indicate what portions these
were In which lie believed, he answered :
"I don't believe I would defend any
of It." He explained finally that the
book had been written eight or nine
years before, nnd that since then lie
had become "considerably less ex- ,
treme."
"Today 1 am an advocate of the sys- '
tem of unionism as advocated in Amer
ica and Knglunil. That applies to
everything In the book "
In his prevent book Mr. Foster quote
'a passage from another work of his
issued some years after "Syndicalism"
was published. This is "Tiade I'liiim-
. ism J The Iload to Freedom." He

tly. He says:
,"It is Idle to say that trade uuions
will rest contest with anything short
of actual emancipation. With
ita growing power organized labor will
go on w.inntng greater anil greater con-
cessions', regardless of how profound
o... i.n- t, it lu nnrp.it nuiiiHnn
to state that the trade unions would
balk at ending the wnges system."
Mr Foster still ndvocates ending the
wnges'system, which means to a greater
era lesser extent putting tne means 01
roduction In the hands of the worn-
rs.
..The difference is that he says noth
ing at present as to the means of bring
ing about this basic change in the eco
nomic system, except to praise the
methods of the Knglish labor unions.
lie has dropped the extravagant .Syndi
calist theory of the means, but has re
tained the end which he then held de
sirable. Warns of Another Strike
The llritlsh unions for two vears
have beep talking about a bloodless po
litical revolution, hnving the same end
in .view ns that which Foster advocates.
It may be n fair inference, therefore,
though he due-: not say no In words,
thnt he. too. ndvocates this method.

Mr. Foster sees another stpnl strlkp

In n year or two. Wh"ti it comes, he
sees it developing into a great struggle,
which will align against the sti-cl mills

St
some of the reasons for the failure

i,. rntlnnnl bone in the s tttntiou lies
in a firm federation of all the trades in i
the Industry, nllled with the miners and ,
railroad men In such fashion that they
will extend help In case of trouble. The
Kteel workers nre fast recovering from ,
their defeat." He continues:
yor those progressives who will look
upon the steel campnlgn from nn evo
lutionary standpoint thnt Is, by a
comparison with past experiences It
wilt stand out In Its true light us
marking a urent advance In trade
union methods and practices.
Hut unfortunately there nre large
bodies of progressives who do not
jude from the evolutionary view
point when It comes to trade union
ism. These range all the way from
the mild liberals and friends of labor
to the most extreme I. W. W.'s. They
form an Influential group. Theirs is
the Idealistic method ; more or leea
clearly these elements hold In their
mind's eye a smooth-running. Intelli
gent, Imaginary "ono bis union."
And the natural result Is thnt, even
In such cases as the steel campaign,
the unions cut a sorry future.
Kor many years radicals In this
country have almost universally mutn
talned that the trade unions arc fun
I'inirntiill.v nonrevolutlonnry : that
Hi v ',iuve no real quarrel with
ipltnllsm, but are seeking merely
to modify Its harshness through u
policy of mild reform. They have
be-n pictured as lacking both the tn
telllgrnce to want Industrial freedom
ii nd 'he courage to demand It. And
'o effen have these Ideas been re
peated, so slight has been the Inquiry
nto their soundness, mat tney nuvu l
come lo be accepted In a large degree
by virtually the entire left wing of I
the labor movement. j
Yet their falsity Is readily nnnar-
ent when onf takes Into consideration
the real situation. It Is an Indis
putable fact that the trade unions al
wns act upon the policy of taking all
they can get from their exp
loiters. So for as the tendency of their de
mands Is concerned, there can be no
question about that to any one who
will loo!: at thorn squarely , the trade
unions may be depended upon always
to check exploitation through the
wage system as far as their power
enables them. The big quc3tlon ts
whether or not they will be able to
develop enough power to stop this ex
ploitation altogether As for me, t
aid confident thnt they will. In every
country they are constantly uddlng
to nnd solidifying their ranks;
building ever more gigantic and mili
tant combinations and throwing them
athwart the exploiter's path. It Is
rate to say that If they cannot finally
etop him It will be becaute It does not
llo within the realms of possibility
for the working class to produce
sufficiently powerful organizations.
Heal Trend of Movement
Theso enti-capltallstic qualities of
labor have been ignored thus long, Mr.
Po,'.,,'r Mv. "because they, like
various other nggrPH.dvc social move-
ments. have more or less instinctively
mrroiiiided themselves with a sort of
camouflage or protective coloring, dc-

sions ns "A fair day's pay for a fair

practices little or no attention Is paid
to them. They arc for foreign con
sumption. The fact that those who
utter them may actually believe what
thoy say does not change the situation
a particle. Most movements are blind
to their own goals anyway. The Im
portant thing is the re,il trend of the
movement, which Is Indisputably aa
I have stated above, on the one hand

on the other constantly Increasing de
mands. This "throwing of dust in the eyes
of the world" by the unions is for a

The author answers the question i
"Why should the true nature and ten-

philosophic protection and lcnviug it

In this "b'f. wing" nre "large and
ever in. reusing numbers of workers nnd
sympathizers who refusp to face the
prospect if a society forever based upon
the wage svstem." These are the
workers who nre turning to the I. .
W. and other radical organizations,
suys Mr. Foter. ... ,
This belief that the trado unions
arc inherently conservative bodies, is
the basis nf the strong conviction that
they are hopeless nnd thnt they must
he 'supplanted by a now organization,
niniing to abolish the wage system.
This conception Is found In some degiee
or other among virtually all radicals
tnl it has done inculculable harm to
the unions. It has cost them the sup
port of thousand of militants, of the
best and most intelligent thnt the
working -lass produces."
This devitalising drnin mum he
stopped, snvs the, writer, and the radi
cals must be nn over to whole
hearted support of the unions, which
nre "tanking straight for the abolition
of capitalism nnd going incnmpariibh
faster toward this goal than anv of the
much ndvertlsed. so-called revolution,

OF THE WORLD WAR
General Maurice, Colonel do
Chambrun and Others DiS'
cuss America's Participation
"The American Army in the Euro
pean CnnUlct" Is a very Important war
book. We have had numerous views of
the participation of the United Mates
iu the war from our own uqtlvc uud
national standpoint. Some of the Hrlt
ih commentators and historical nnd
military writers have viewed our par
ticipation from an Anglo-Maxon slant,
but in the main casually. Thh book
by two Frenchmen, who had combat,
staff and liaison experience. Colonel do
Chambrun, who Is. we mistake not. n
lineal descendant of Lafayette, nnd Cap
tain de Marenches. Is devoted entirely
to Americn and Its military part In the
war. llnth officers knew the war from
personal shnrlng in ltd hardships anil
hazards. They were nttacheil by the
French (lovernlnent to General l'er
siting's staff, and so their knowledge of
the achievements, of the American army
in France is based on intimate expei'l
iii mil close-tin observation. They
nre generous In their attitude, but not
uncritical of mistakes. They have the
Gallic sense of appreciation anil grati
tude, but nlo the trained military
man's understanding. So when they
praise their words ute worth while, nnd
when they criticize their words arc
worth heeding.
Their book. In Its French pditlon. has
been made required reading In the pub
lic schools of France, a singular tribute
of nffrctlon and admiration. Another
iutetestltig fact about it is that the
translation into Knglish has been made
hv the authors, who write directly,
crlsplv and nttrnetivctv. with nu oc
casional nice touch of Gallic idiom.
Their book opens with a chapter on
the declaration of nr aud universal
military service, after which there nre
taken up among other topics the fol
lowing: The nrrival of Genernl I'cr
shlng in France, the tirst appearance
of American contingents on the trench
front, the participation or .uuericun

Genernl Sir F. Maurice formerly
director of operations of the Ilritish

book. 'The Last Four Months How
the War Was Won." He i both com
prehensive in covering material nnd con
cise In handling it. He explains the
need of unity of command and the later
recognition of it in the designation of
Foch ns generalissimo, and then dis
cusses with real authoritntlveness. with
fair-minded distribution of credit tn the

profound tribute to Foch as man and

I'arlv In April. 101ft. there had been

fought in battle and had won, and there
were many more ready to fight

most difficult part of the front wns a
bold exiierlment. It was one thing to
obliterate the St. MUiIel salient In
thlrtv hours, to stop the Germnn rush
nt the Marne, or even to drive the
Germans from the Marne to the Vesle
in co-operation with Allied troops. It
was quite another matter to fight con
tinuoiislv on n front of some twentv
miles for close on fifty tlnya, through
line after lino of German trenches In
n battle which entailed the employment
of nenrlv three-quarters of a million of
American troops. It was done because

GREAT POETRY BY
JOHN MASEFIELD
A New Volume of Versa In
spired by Basic Moralities
Toetry thnt la poetic fills John Mnsc-
field's, latest volume, published under
the title of "Knslaved nnd Other
Poems.'' Tho smart youths who are oc
cupying themselves with studies In form
to the neglect of substance might road
It with profit. They would discover I"
It that real poetry has to be' Inspired by
high Ideals and a loyalty to the basic
moralities.
The' poem from which the volume
takes Its tltlo is n thrilling narrative
of - Turkish pirates who raid the coast
of Rngland nnd tnko captive n young
woman. Her lover pursues the plratrs
nnd consents to enpture that ho may
perchance relievo tho sufferings of the
girl. The narrative moves with speed
uninterrupted, but rather embellished by
exquisite descriptions of land and sea.
until the end wltero unselfish devotion
triumphs and tho Invers nre wifely
united nnd sent back home,
O beautiful Is Jove, and lo bo free
ts beautiful, atyl benntiful nre friends.
I-ove, freedom, comrades, surely make
amends
For all thoso thorns through which w
walk tq doath.
God let us breathe your beauty with
our breath. .,
All early In tho Maytlmo hen daylight
' conies nt four. '
Wo blessed the hawthorn blossom that
welcomed us ashore,
O beautiful In this living thnt pnsses
like, the fonm,
It Is to go with sorrow, yet como with
beauty home.
"The Hounds of Hell" is a poetic
version of nn old Knglish legend of a
huntsman who hunted men nt night on
the moor until the people dared not go
nut nfter dark. A saint set out to meet
thp huntsman nnd rebuke him only to
discover thnt
The bounds nre silly shnpes or sin,
They shrivel at a word.
The publishers have printed the book
on old Stratford paper nnd have bound
It in gray boards with a parchment
hack, and have thus put the verso be
fore the public In a form worthy of its

A Cheerful Pessimist
Aldous Huxley is a young Knglish
writer with a nimble mind and, as some
complimentary reviewer nlreudy has put
it. "thp most cheerful pessimism." Mr.
Huxley has just twinkled forth in n
collection of tdiort stories nnd one
rather puzzling play, all of which nre
embraced In n little volume whose title
Is "Limbo."
The first of these stories is the one
thnt probably will be the best liked.
It is nil about a young man named
Richard Greenow, and it deals with
his career from thp cradle to tho sod
in tabloid form. It gives n picture of
Ilichnrd'H school days in form rather
different from thnt ndopted by most
chroniclers of Ilritish schoolboy life.
Indeed. Mr. Huxley's charm lies in his
"difference."
"Happily Ever After" is another
unique little cameo in prose, which is
saved from morbidness by the delight
ful Irony of its telling.

version of "Paul and Virginia," that
tho French bought 110,000 copies of the
book within threo months of ita publi
cation. Ho called It "Popntil et Vlr
glue." A translation of It has been
published in Americn under the title
of "When Tytle Cnmej" Mnchard's
romance began one evening nfter the
battle of tho Marne when he found
among the refugees who had flocked to
Paris n beautiful young woman alone
and afraid. I Ho took care of her, fell
In love with her nnd married her. Here
was literary material that appealed to
him, but with n flno sense of delicacy
he refrained from desecrating his own
love affair. Instead ho told the story
with a ten-year-old boy as the hero
and a nlue-yenr-old Itplgian girl as the
heroine. The boy tells the girl the story
of Paul and Virginia nnd they pretend
that they arc tho clinrncters In the
