IT IS UP TO THE GOVERNMENT!
Karl Liebknecht was recently imprisoned for eighteen months by the German government as punishment for writing his book against the brutalities, stupidities, and villainies of war and militarism.
Gustave Hervé is now serving a four-year sentence in a French prison for writing his book on the same subject.
Just what there is in store, in this line, for the author of WAR—WHAT FOR? he does not know. He has at least had plenty of hints, suggestions, warnings and veiled threats of dire things, but just as long as there is an intelligent degree of popular appreciation of the three great rights mentioned on page [350] of this book, and as long also as working men—inside and outside the Army—give the author plenty of assurance, as they do, that in their judgment this book is manifestly written in fraternal sincerity to protect them and those they love,—these hints and warnings will be accepted as simply too ridiculous to be interesting.
The author of WAR—WHAT FOR? is neither inviting, nor avoiding, nor expecting, nor afraid of persecution on account of this book. We have the facts and we also have the three great rights of discussion.
