Augutus j. Duarte, vice president OF
Georgetown University is leading the
Aloysius Truth Society in an open
warfare on socialism, which he de-
clares is threatening to become so
detrimental to the good of the whole
people of the United States that its
steady growth should be stopped. AS
president of the Aloysius Truth SO
ciety. he believes that the best way
to prevent the further spread OF
socialism is to keep the people in
formed, through the newspapers and
other publications, of the menace
of socialism and its serious dan
ger to the general welfare Of our
citizens.
Father Duarte says that the posi-
ton of his society on the subject is

the following summary from re-
cent lecture:
"As man and a Christian | am
compelled to condemn socialism,
first because whether | consider it
from the standpoint Of philosophy
or from the outlook of Christian eth
les, find it to be bound up with
principles and postulates and con-
sequences which by no legitimate
mental process can be made to fit
in with the laws of justice, equity
and right as promulgated by the
Christian dispensation.
Secondly, as a man and a Christ
ian, condemn socialism even II il
were an economic theory only, which
it is not. it would still be fraught
with consequences pernicious and
even disastrous to the individual ana
and to the family, to religion and
to the state.
Thirdly, | condemn socialism be-
caue it takes for granted what is
not true, that all the social and in-
dustria evils of the day are wrongs
inherent in the system OF private
capital
AS Mayor Gaynor of New York
said in a recent interview, the aim
of the socialist is that all property
and means and implements of pro-
duction be massed in one unit and
put in charge of the government
that the government may own every
thing and that we all become gov
ernment employees. But with all their
theories regarding public ownership
the socialist leaders are worried by
the rapid spread of another form OF
public ownership. It's nature
we'll illustrated in one little item
tucked away in the last annual re-
port of one of the greatest public
utility undertakings of the country.
When, five years ago, Theodore Vail
became president of the American
Telephone company it had $4,000
stockholders, now it has almost 50,-
900, with an average of 66 shares
person. Two other great com
panies have a still larger, number OF
stockholders.
When the owners Of a number
OF large concerns are hundreds OF
thousands OF people scattered all over
the country, and when these owners
are perfectly satisfied with their re-
turus. and above all when the ser
vices rendered by these concerns are
all that could reasonably be asked,
there has been created a public own
ership condition which it will take
a great deal OF proving to convince
people they had better change for a
public ownership based on socialist
theories.
There is a strong drift on the part
of nearly all great industrial corpO-
rations to follow the broad. far-see-
ing policy inaugurated by President
Vail, and in all this the Socialist
see more danger to
their cause than in all the opposi-
ton put together
