other lakes or ponds.
Rep. Charles W. Jones of China

Socialist Is Heard by
Economics Study Club

J. X. White. socialist orator, con-
sumed most of the time at the meeting
of the Study Club in Economics at the
Irgram Memorial Church, and the
meeting adjourned without the dozen or
mere speakers of Washington citizens
associations. who had been invited to
speak, being heard. The meeting was
held in Pythian Temple last night. The
subject had been announced as Hos
tility between Christianity and Social
ism"
Following the address, which occu-
pied nearly two hours, the chairman of
the meeting, Julian Pierce. read let
ter from Francis De Sales. Ryan, vice
president of the Washington Truth So
ciety, in Which it was declared social
ism is against Christianity because 1t
is arrayed against the home. The
founders and exponents of the social
ist doctrine" wrote Mr.. Ryan, have
boldly advocated free love. The church
believes marriage should be founded on
duty to the child and society; socialists
that it should be founded on love only
Mr.. Whites address was in direct Op-
position to this. The chairman an
nOunced that Mr.. Ryan's letter would
ne answered by the socialists at a later
meeting.
