Abbott, 'pastor of the United ; Corgregational - church, ‘de- livered the last “lecture 'in his séries of ‘Community Abbot: the the six on Socialism ‘at .the House on Tuesday evening. ~Mr. in his opening remarks said ignorance regarding socialism- American people was greater than- knowledge. . In.my study of “Sociali interest .in -the subject -has- grown b | leaps and bounds and I am now loath l, give it up. Mr. Abbott then reviewsd the,history of socialism - saying that - socialism sprang up in a soil peculiar to its nour- ishment. We. found' it a struggie against the. aristocracy and ‘the effect” of the revolution in- France has heen world-wide and in fact,.the world has never quite recovered from it, he said. We can trace socialism even now back' to France or England. Socialism is now a . contest .between those who have and those who have not. The principle is that sodialism wants to take the creative tools and' colkectively own them and operate them for the good of all. In speaking of the different types of socialism Mr. Abbott saidthat there are extremes in socialism ahe same as in religion, education and anything in There is the radical element and tha conservative element. In socialist circles there are constant clashes anf debates regarding the way of socialism. The radical wants a quickreaetionary method while the conservative wants to progress along the lines of evolution. But the fact remains that the fundamentals are the same. The question is asked how will they bring about this idealistic state.” The bolshevik is. the direct, descendant of the immediate revolutionary. élement that was found in France. - The I. W. 'W. is of -the same school both believing that the evolutionary way is much too long to get results. - Both these,’ however, ~are only. stages in the.socialist movement. Morris Hillquit says/that one kind of civilization demands one kind-of action and one kind of civilization demands an- other kind of -action according to the po- litical and economic sjtuation. You musty have’ a particylar kind of ‘socialism to suit.every country. Before we can have focialism the industrial situation ~must be right. " You must ‘first have a co-op- erative spirit in industrial life.” " Next the people must be ready for socialism. Socialism will not become ‘true until the majority of the people Want it. Then vou say we will never have socialism. But_socialism will come. How are the socialists going ‘about this way of win- ning over the majority. First by means of propaganda, they. have their newspa- pers, theif pamphlets .and” their. family teachings. You say I'am a medium for socialism hecause I.talk as I do. Well, I am glad to spread-it- (or it-is a- vsry human - thing. - - Then they have the- pohc) of organiza- tion. They are training for leadership and management.. They keep ‘the strug- gle ever in front of the Working They use every means:to get power because they believa in prineiple and not in persons. ‘When they voted for Debs at the last election they voted for principle and not for the man. In conclusion Mr. Abbott 'said that Wwhile he was not sympathy with radical gocialism he did believe in the fundamental principles .of socialism and to gain this end every legal means should that .

The incoming and outgoing mails have been steadily in- creasing” in size since Sunday and ind cations are that the holiday 11ail this ye will ‘equal, ‘if not exceed, the Christmas mail “of last year. The parcel post sub- station at the Thayer building had an ex- ceptionally “heavy day Tuesday, but no let-up- is expected until fhe end of the week. At the postoffice two windows were open all ‘day for the recention of outgoing mail and two extra teams were kept on the jump tlirougnout the day delivering the incoming mail. Two men are sent out-on each team. The box collections ' were' unusuzlly heavy Tuesday afternoon and evening. In e e RELIEF COMMITTEES COVER : TORALLY DIFFERENT FIELDS That the Near East. Reli:f and the iral Europe are covering totally different Donough, state director of the Near East Relief for Connecticut. It was pointed out that the work being done by the two organizations covered different fields. and applied to extremly different degrees of want and need. A “There is no duplication of aid given by ‘the two organizations,” the state di- rector said. “The European Relief cil ‘operates in Central KEurope, and the Near East Relief in Asia Minor; money raised by the ‘Literary Digest. and M Hoover's committee does not.include Azla Minor among its beneficiaries. Mr. Hoov- er is undertaking to raise money to sup- plecent the inadequate food supply, and to give one meal a day to the undernour- ished childfen of Central Europe, feed- ing them in their own homes, #chool- houses, or other convenient places. The Near East Relief on the other hand. is feeding, clothing, sheltering and caring for children who have no homes of their own, and who would. were it not for the Near East Relief, perish in a very short time.” “It was sald that the Near Fast Relief was incorporated by congress in 1919 for relief and reconstruction work in the Near. East regions, and to meet the great|] problems of hundreds of thousands of war} orphans there who have no support other than charity. The Near East Relief has taken over all the Red Cross work In, Asia Minor. Theer are over 500 Near East Relief workers in a vast area, where it is the only relief agency. where there is no government to give aid, where there are no schools and no homes, save as we provide education and shelter for the or- phan children of our allies. The presence of the workers at a relief station is often all that prevents the entire annihilation of ‘a Christian community by the Turks. There are over 230,000 children without families or friends. Their parents were massacred or died in deportation, and the Near East Relief, through its orphanages. | must feed, clothe, and shelter them, or they die.” Although fn mome quarters the impres- sion has been secured that the Near Hast Relief and the Hoover Central European Reélief commiite: are doing the same work and’ covening the same territory. State Director McDonough declared that this. is not the case. “The very names of the two organizations show just what territory they cover,” the state director said. I summing up this difference, Di-| rector McDonough compared the work of | the ‘two'in the follow way: “Undernouisthment in central Europe —starvation -in the Near Kast; central; European ‘peoplcs destitute in their own homes—Near Easterr. peoples are home- less exiles: Central Kuropeans are unfort- unate people under a - friends govern- ment establishments, hoyal houscholds. and. able to render considerabl assistance to- destitute children—Near Fastern peo- pie are under an enemy government that| would rejoice in the extermanation.” Ex- Ambassador Henry Morgenthau has issued an earnest appeal to the American people to continue their relief to the homeless and destitute people of the Near East. He sald: “America has won the ad- miration’ and gratitude of the Near-Fast| by its disinterested altruism and philan- thropy curing the past four years. “Hundreds of thousands of these peo- ple are living today who would have per- ishd had it not been for American relief. “But peace and order have not been restored. Their efforts to maintain their independence have partially failed nwmg to the superior farce of their neighbors.” “Large numbers of refugees have again been dispossesed from their temo- orary homes. Recent cables state that the roads leading to various places of safety are crowded with = refugees. . . The hard winter. has begun. Snow is knee- deep in-many-places. . These helpless refu- ge#s are.again throwh on our merey. Un- less we heed their crv they will perish this. winter by the thousands. “The sitution today is worse than I’ was. last.year. “Near East Relsef 1= the only organiza- tion whose funds are used for this work. “Large numbers of orphans, deprived of both father -and - mother -do. not even, know their names and are now in more than 200 omphanages maintained by the Near East Relief.. They are totally de- pendent upon American philanthropy for the ‘simplest necessities of life. “We must continue the support these orphans whom W have already res- cued and placed.in our institutions. We should not relinquish the care of the re- fugees and -othr destitute until under stable government they aré restored tol| their homes, and to self-support. | “No matter where these people are or which faction claims the right to govern them—the refugees are homeless. the or- phone ‘are helpless—their faces are turned toward us in despair and expectancy. There will be no season of rejoicing for of them if we fail.
