A Bloodletting for the Socialist Party (July
14,1919)
Austria’s chief delegate, Dr. Renner, has replied to the Peace Conference, “Austria
today is in the process of consuming its capital, which is already greatly diminished
as compared with the past. If there is further devastation, it will set the stage for a
bloodletting for the Socialist Party.” Stupid Dr. Renner! Don’t you realize that the
Allies’ true objective for the last year has been precisely to cause a bloodletting for
the Socialist Party?
