We look for the privilege to have our influence in propelling the reason for national protection and national solidarity. In any case, absolutely, there can be no obvious national solidarity where one-tenth of the populace is denied their essential rights as American residents.

Debs is greater than Lincoln. Debs is the spokesman of the great struggling working class of all races, nationalities, creeds, sexes.

We seek the right to play our part in advancing the cause of national defense and national unity. But certainly, there can be no true national unity where one-tenth of the population is denied their basic rights as American citizens.

And the way the Statute of Rome is written responsibility for war crimes can be taken all the way up the chain of command.
