Excerpt from Americanism and Social Democracy At the suggestion Of many friends I have included in the volume a documentary sur vey of the controversy upon the question 'of war policy which created such a sorry division in the ranks Of American Socialists. It seems to me well that such a summary Of the con troversy, with the full text of the most im portant documents, should be available to the student and to the general reader. For my own share in that controversy I have no apologies to Ofier and the several documents must speak for themselves. I am quite con tent to abide by the judgment of the Ameri can public and by the judgment Of my Socialist friends when the passions Of the times have subsided.
