Title	Spaan, H.N 1916-04-10
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs on H. N. Spaan, Lawyer letterhead, 04/10/1916. Says that he is positive that the current war will lead to a "tremendous" advance in socialist ideas once the soldiers in the trenches come to realize that the war is at their expense, physically, mentally, and financially. Writes that one of the great problems in the world is the ignorance of the masses who have been led astray by the false cry of patriotism in Germany, Russia, Italy, England, and France. Remarks that only when the laboring men of the world realize their strength will there be any change. Says that he wonders how long God will allow the world to go on like it is. Tells Eugene V. Debs that when the war is over the laboring men of the world will finally come to their senses. Informs Eugene V. Debs that what is happening in Germany to ration food is but one example of how socialism is coming into being. Writes that the day is coming when there will be more people on earth than supplies. Tells Eugene V. Debs that when this occurs a new method of distribution will be necessary. Says that he is writing Eugene V. Debs about all of this because he knows that Eugene V. Debs has spent his life fighting for these ideas. Remarks that he wants Eugene V. Debs to know that there are thousands of people who are not laborers but who are keenly aware of all of the injustice in the world.
