American Socialists and Central European links political, not economic
The piece argues American Socialists, shaped by U S conditions, diverged from Central European socialist aims after the war. It contends European socialist acts were driven by political triggers, while American socialism adapted to wartime government goals. It warns against transplanting European political formulas to American conditions.
Strange Company and the Socialist Split Across Oceans
The passage argues that American and European Socialists, especially Central European groups, have grown incongruent. War has intensified the gap, reducing any claimed common ground to a past, purely economic, and non vital base. The current ties are less direct and international than before.
Propaganda pamphlets flood U.S. postal system
The piece notes the flood of pamphlets and poems reaching readers via mail, describing efforts by propagandists of all kinds to influence the press. It cites George Roussos as minister to the United States and remarks on the volume’s care in production despite scant Congressional interest.
