Title	Phillips, J.A 1918-04-21
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs on The Order of Railway Conductors letterhead, 4/21/1918. Tells Eugene V. Debs that the position the Socialist Party took towards the war was "suicidal." Writes that even though he disagrees with the Socialist Party's stance, however, he assures Eugene V. Debs that he will continue to support it. Remarks that before he falls in line with the party that he must tell Eugene V. Debs what he finds objectionable about its policy. Says that the Socialist Party's war policy has resulted in the imprisonment of several of the party's best comrades by giving America's reactionary element a chance to settle "old scores." Asserts that the socialists of Belgium, France, Italy, and England are right to fight against the "Kaiser and his Military Machine" not only because is it in the working classes' best interest but also because a better society cannot be created until Germany is defeated. Argues that the Socialist Party should be demanding the nationalization of America's integral war industries rather than fighting for the repeal of the conscription laws. Says that the Socialist Party needs to think more carefully about its tactics in order to get the results it wants. Tells Eugene V. Debs that he should change his position and make the Socialist Party do likewise.
