New York March 12.-Those physicians
or the body polite who recently held a
consultation at Noroton separated with
out deciding what was really tho matter
with the United States and what treat
ment was the best to pursue
Considered from every point OF view
the conference brought into sharper relief
than ever before the great differences OF
opinion which exist among those who are
devoting themselves to the salvation OF
the republic The country which has
good constitution. Is managing 10 exist
and X will probably be here next year
when the experts in political maladies
again meet In solemn conclave.
Never before did social reformers such
as those who met as the guests OF j. G..
Phelps Stokes and Robert Hunter come
so near to finding out the direction in
which they were going as they did after
the invitation of the socialists who asked
the whole company T. ,oin their school OF
political medicine. II was placed clearly
before this assemblage that, although
they had many remedies to suggest after
all. they had not really decided what was
the ailment.
They went away from Noroton with the
thought uppermost in their minds. What
is the diagnosis? The address which made
the strongest impression on the company
was made by Morris Hillquit. a leader OF
the socialists. II was courhed in such
radical terms that many OF the company
gave way to mental shudders His speech
more than anything else brought 10 the
attention OF this variegated assemblage
that II could agree on nothing and, above
all. that ii could not surrender absolute
ly 10 the doctrines enunciated.
Most OF the time OF the conference was
taken up In discussing the wrongs and
evil tendencies and then II was that the
socialists got a chance TO give their idea
of the nature OF the malady. The analy-
sis OF the situation as given by Mr.. Hill
quit was one which raised much dissent
and showed clearly that so far there
every reason at present for the doctors
to disagree. The speech OF Mr. Hilluuit
came at a time when the talk was con-
stantly getting back to socialism and in
foreful language IL demonstrated that
socialism must be taken In undiluted form
If 1t was TO be administered at all When
the conference was adjourned the only
man who was really sure OF where he
stood apparently was Morris Hillouit.
