NOTES ON THE BIBLIOGRAPHY

Anti-Socialist Books. In the foregoing bibliography, the most painstaking anti-socialist book is that of Skelton. Other books critical of the socialist theories are those of Ely, Le Rossignol, Rae, Schaeffle, Seligman, Simkhovitch, Sombart, Vaughan and Weyl.

Marxian Socialism. The most important classics on Marxian socialism are Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto, Engels' Socialism, Utopian and Scientific and Marx' Capital. Boudin's treatise gives an excellent interpretation of the Marxian system of thought, as do the works of Kautsky, who was regarded, prior to the war, as the chief Marxian theorist of Europe. Other popularizers of the Marxian philosophy are Hyndman, Hillquit, Hughan and Spargo. Bernstein represents the Revisionist point of view. Fraina, Macy and Haywood present the viewpoint of the extreme "left" of the movement.

The Socialist State. The following books have given special attention to the nature of the socialist state and to the objections urged against socialism: Kautsky's Social Revolution (latter half), Hillquit's Socialism in Theory and Practice, Hillquit and Ryan's debate, Spargo's Applied Socialism, and Bertrand Russell's and Hughan's contributions. The works of Wells, Shaw, and Kelly, while somewhat unorthodox, are particularly suggestive along these lines. Wells' New Worlds for Old is one of the most readable books on the subject. Blatchford's Merrie England has been especially popular among the rank and file of workers.

The Socialist Movement. Movement. The most comprehensive history of socialism prior to the war was that of Kirkup, and

the most extensive source book on the world-wide movement, The Socialism of Today by Walling and other members of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society. Walling's book of documents on The Socialists and the War also gives much valuable information, while, for the latest phases of the socialist movements, The American Labor Year Book, edited by Trachtenberg, should be consulted. Other books describing the movements in various countries as it existed prior to the European War and those of Hunter, Orth, Sombart, MacDonald and Hillquit.

Bibliographies. Bibliographies on Socialism have been prepared by the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, 70 Fifth Ave., N. Y. City, The Rand School of Social Science, 7 E. 15th St., N. Y. City, The National Socialist Party, 220 So. Ashland Blvd., Chicago, Ill., and the Fabian Society, 25 Tothill St., Westminster, London, S. W., England.

Periodicals. To keep informed concerning the latest developments of socialism it is necessary frequently to consult periodicals on socialism. The Socialist Review, a (monthly) published by the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, 70 Fifth Ave., N. Y. City, an educational, not a political propagandist journal, edited by the author of this book, seeks to supply the reader with the latest facts concerning the activites and theories in the field of socialism throughout the world. The Liberator (monthly), published in 31 Union Sq., N. Y. City, edited by Max and Crystal Eastman, and the Class Struggle, a monthly, 15 Spruce St., N. Y. City, edited by Ludwig Lore and others, are also valuable propaganda journals. The two socialist dailies of importance are the New York Call, 444 Pearl St., N. Y. City, and the Milwaukee Leader, Brisbane Hall, Milwaukee. The "International Relations Section" of The Nation is constantly printing important documents relating to the socialist move

movement.

The Eye Opener and The Party Bulletin, 220 So. Ashland Blvd., Chicago, are the official organs of the Socialist Party; The Communist, 1221 Blue Island Ave., Chicago, the official

organ of the Communist Party, and The Communist Labor Party News, 3207 Clark Ave., Cleveland Ohio, the organ of the Communist Labor Party. The Appeal to Reason, Girard, Kansas, is a propaganda weekly with a very considerable circulation. New periodicals are constantly starting up.

In England, the New Statesman, a weekly contributed to by Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Bernard Shaw and others, the Socialist Review (a quarterly), edited by Ramsay MacDonald, the Labor Leader (weekly), organ of the Independent Labor Party, the London Herald, edited by George Lansbury and the New Age, the organ of the National Guildsmen, are all worth consulting. Le Populaire, edited by Jean Longuet, and L'Humanité, are important socialist organs in France. Vorwaerts is the chief socialist daily of Germany.
