Statesmen may attempt to found systems, but the only real force in international as in domestic politics is the education of the individual man's desires.

Gertrude Barnum, who graduated into trade unionism from settlement work, and Josephine Casey, of the Elevated Railroad Clerks, are two who were long actively associated with the Woman's Trade Union League, but of late years both have been organizers under the International of the Ladies' Garment Workers.

In the period from 1848 to 1917 Marxism operated through minority political parties organized in each nation, but linked together internationally in loose federations, except during the brief existence of the Communist International from 1919 to 1943.

Socialism is now as completely materialistic as the old capitalism, and as international in its scope and methods.

The railway unions within the American Federation of Labor, one of the largest and most powerful bodies of union men in the United States feel the need of some method of grouping which shall link together the men's locals and the internationals into which the locals are combined.

Again, if there is one thing in the world more international than Labour, it is Capital; and, as Mr. Norman Angell has shown, it is the capitalist who is hardest hit by international war and who stands to gain most from its abolition.

But the strife between them extended from the sphere of international to that of personal sympathies and antipathies.

From 1919 to 1943 socialist construction was directed, at least in theory, by the Communist International with headquarters in Moscowthe "general staff of the World Revolution".

Personally, I am probably more International by temperament than Patriotic.
