FAV0RS PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
Prof. Parsons. OF Boston. Tells of
European Social Conditions.

Prof Frank Parsons. president of the
National Public Ownership League, who
has Just returned from a FIVE months
| study of social conditions in Europe. de-
iivcred lecture yesterday at the Peo-
Pies church on the subject of national
| contrasts.
He discussed the great movements of
our time and the fundamental principles
that underline them, and noted some Of
| the principal contrasts between the lead

1nents and principles. Among other things
he said
| The relatively large proportion of
| energy that is given to constructive work
| in America is one of the reasons for the
ever expanding industrial supremacy of
! The United States. One of the
principal tests of civilization is the de-
gree in which men have united for their
common purposes"
Comparing the nations in reference to
this, America is far in the lead in re-
spect to the political organizations or
the cooperation of large masses of
In industry also the great combina-
tions of capital have made more progress
in the United States than in any other
country.
But cooperative organization in in
dustry is farther advanced in Great Brit
ain, Germany. and Switzerland than in
the United States. Public ownership also,
both in The municipal and national form,
has reached higher development in Eu-
rSpean countries than in America, and
these two forms of industrial organiza-
tiCn are the limits toward which the
principles of union and diffusion are car
rying civilized society.
The vast development of liberty and
democracy in the political field is one OF
the most important facts of nineteenth
century history. and nowhere has this de-
yelopment been carried so far as in the
United States, except. perhaps, in Swift
zerland and New Zealand. Yet great as
has been our progress in this direction,
we are still far from having a complete
and perfect government by the people.
Our councilmen and legislators can give
away the peoples franchises and pass
other measures regardless of the people

They are not truly the servants of the
