"These organizations work under conditions different from those of
the party as a whole. In each case they deal with a special type of
persons, of a psychology and of economic conditions peculiarly
their own, and they are the most competent judges of the methods of
propaganda best suitable to their own countrymen. The party should
allow such non-English speaking organizations the greatest freedom
of action, and should assist them in every way in their special
work of Socialist propaganda."

It may interest the reader to learn that the Socialist Party is so much
concerned with its propaganda among foreigners, that in its 1913 May Day
parade in New York City pink leaflets headed "WOMEN, BECOME CITIZENS,"
were distributed. They read:

"If you hope to be a voter, remember that you must be a citizen!
Don't delay! Come to the NATURALIZATION BUREAU of the SOCIALIST
PARTY next Tuesday evening, and let us help you to become
naturalized." It was, of course, an understood fact that the
Socialist Party would, besides helping such women to become
naturalized, also help them to become Revolutionists.

On May 18, 1912, May Wood-Simons reported to the National Convention of
the Socialist Party the recommendations of the Woman's National
Committee, urging the carrying of the propaganda of Socialism to the
housewife, the woman on the farm, to teachers, foreign speaking women
and women in industry. ("The Call," New York, May 19, 1912.)

Though the zeal of the national foe in its propaganda of revolutionary
principles is manifested in many other ways, only a few more
illustrations will be given. Many thousands of copies of the "Appeal to
Reason," when it was the foremost American Socialist paper, found their
way into the camps and upon the battleships of our country.

At the Socialist National Convention of 1912, held in Indianapolis,
Delegate Kate Sadler pointed out how Socialist locals had been organized
on various battleships in the navy and how she was accustomed to hold
meetings on Sunday afternoons on the men-of-war at the navy yard,
Bremerton, Washington. "We'll get the boys organized into the Socialist
Party," she declared, and the Socialist Convention voted to adopt the
resolution. ("The Call," New York, May 17, 1912.)
