‘The current number of the Civic Fed- eration Review contains a broadside by Mr. Easely directed against faddish so- Clalists in general and againet the back- ers of the Intercollegiate Socialist 80- ‘etety, of which Mr. J. G. Phelps Stokes ft one, and against Mr. Robert Hunter, the author of “Poverty,” who holds that misguided in having sald that "70,000 of the New York public school children go ’ Dreakfastless to school.”” “The advocates of socialism,” the ar- ticle says, “having capture the mase of wage earners, ha projected a campaign beyond them, planned to per- vert the minds of the professional classes and of younger and more impressionable recipients of the higher education, It is interestin gto observe that the promoters of the posed In- tercollegiate Socialist Society and of similar movements, inspired by self-Im- posed solicitude for the toiling masses, are almost never workingmen and have nothin gin common with the Interests of laborers “A Millionaire Socialist.” “Thelr roster is largely made up of brieflless lawyers, pulpitiess clergymen, al writers, ex-professors whore usefulness in college faculties hus ceased s timental ex tors in so- elal settlements, « There are here and t m some man of wealth whose capital has come to him through inheritance and whose vanity !s tickled by being fonatre socialist.’ The article says that the burien of the street corner speech of a socialist } agitator could not be differentiated by a Qymicroscope fr: “foaming anarchist.” “would nature to jer as thoroughly as the other. Are the litious teachings of class hatred and social revolution to dbe made part of the college curricule?” i Criticism Biased, Says Stokes. i In the cool morning room of the = tokes beautiful home, at Noroton, | onn., the young millionaire settlement worker, disciissed his views on this arti- le and in his theorles of socialism with in ‘Evening World reporter. Miss Roso Harriet Pastor was present during the interview, writing at a desk while her * jarce talked. “The criticism 4s so biased and so AF rastic that {t scarcely deserves a seri- us reply,” sald Mr. Stokes, knitting his rows. “In one sense it {s absurd, be- ruse T never have called myself a So- talist."* “Are you one?" asked the interviewer. “In so far as I belleve private owner- hip of industries desirable wherever it mduces to the welfare of the individual Without trespass cn the welfare of others—I am not. On the oher hand, I Delleve that many falistic principles are fn accom with and right, and that, far from ng failed to reach the working classes, as the Civile Fed. eration Review I know Soctal- ism to be a vast power among the work- ing people.” Mr. Stokes states that less than 1-100 of 1 per cent. of the Seclalists in this country are other than wage-earners, To Arouse Interest in Soclalism, “What was your moive in calling the young men in the college and profes- sions to join the Intercollegiate Socialis. tic League?” “We aimed merely to arouse a lttie more interest In the study of Socialism. We sought to bring Socialism to the at. tenton of earnest people.
