Countess Tells Audience Financier
Drives Many into Party's Ranks.
Scores American Women for Deny
ing There Are Slums.

Speaking on The New Era in the
Old World" at the hudson theatre
in New York, the Countess of War
wick, in discussing socialism said:
u Pierpont Morgan is the John
the Baptist of our socialistic evangel-
lists It is men like him who are
forcing people every day to turn to
socialism. =
The lecture by the countess was
the seconr of series she will deliver
on short tour of this country. 1t
was largely attended. With the ex-
ception of a few men her audience
was composed of women.
Before the American trusts were
organized, she continued, socialism
was always treated as an impossible
ty. We We're always met with the
cry How can you organize business
on national basis. Your enormous
trusts-the Rockefeller trust the
steel trust and the many others you
have here-have shown just how we'll
the government could run business if
Ii should take it up. The trusts have
been the best boom to socialism that
we could possibly wish.
Speaking on the children of the
thickly populated districts the coun-
tess said:
II come here quite seriously from
the other side of the Atlantic for the
health, of the children who work
here. i deplore only that my short
stay among you prevents my meeting
those in personal sympathy with
these children You women can
help, You must help and ask you
to think it over
We have got to realize that sto ey-
cry child born is decreed the right
to health and happiness We have
no right to shelter our children from
the world and not see to it that other
children Of our country are in the
state OF perfect shelter, as we would
wish our own to be.
You American women do not go
into the densely populated districts
You say We have no Sums
To say this you must go around with
your eyes closed .
