senator Calder Says Middle Class
Is Bulwark of Nation.

Middle class America IL the bulwark
of the nation, Senator William NJ. Calder
said yesterday in an address at the In
stitutional Synagogue in Mount Morris
Theatre, and 1t will be the influence OF
this body of citizens that will renler the
sweep of Bolshevism here impossible
THE reason that Bolshevism will
never succeed in this nation Is that we
have given to every man and every
woman In every station the chance to i'm
prove his position in life" he added. 'In
Europe In the main we have the rich
and the poor, and the poor are miserabl
poor. Here In America there Ia the great
middle class of people who have been
the great bulwark OF strength TO the
republic. Here any boy, no matter how
poor or obscure, can within limited
period. reach the goal OF his ambition"
Senator Calder then turned TO a dis
cussion OF the League OF Nations cove
nant. saying that while he had no objec-
ton to America becoming a party TO the
League of Nations he opposed a league
where America makes all the coEtribu-
lions. He pointed out the inequalities OF
the voting representation now agreed
upon. showing the larger apportlonment
OF Great Britain. and added:
II would go far TO avoid war, but
would object to the creation of a super

Otto II. Kahn and Robert Bruere were
the speakers In debate on Capital and
Labor" yesterday afternoon in the East
Orange, N. j., High School, under the
auspices OF the Peoples Forum OF the
Oranges.
Mr.. Kahn declared that the great need
was for closer contact between capital

representatives of labor on boards of
directors so labor could see at first hand
some OF the problems with which capt.
tai has to deal.
Most labor problemc," he said. ARE
due to suspicion on one side or the
other"
He also expressed the belief that
capital was entitled to living wage as
well as labor. and that when both sides
were thus cared for some sort Of profit
sharing plan might be evolved. Mr..
Kahn touched on the rights Of the mid
die class TO consideration. as we'll as
the two extremes of capital and labor.
Mr.. Bruere devoted part OF his speech
to the part that labor had played during
the war and declared that II was then
that labor obtained its first recognition
by the Governments action in making
use OF Samuel Gompers In reconstruc-
ton work. The hope of the working
man, Mr.. Bruere said. was to receive q
wage that would guarantee economic Sc
curity and better conditions for his
family.
But what labor wants" he said, will
not be acquired by confusion, anarchy
or turbulence. but through tho power

The Rev. Ernest NJ. Stires. rector OF

1.-THE President possesses qualities OF

II l evaded the fact that he frequently
causes us grave anxiety. We regret the
expression Of his views in general terms
when crisis requires plain speech and
definite action.
I'VE regret his dangerous isolation
and unwillingness to take counsel with
his fellow citizens. We pray that he
may never experience such criticism and
abuse as Washington and Lincoln knew
and yet we dare tell him for the sake of
America and the world that he must not
compromise with anarchy in our name,
that we pray he will permit no persistent

It had better wait, but we cannot walt

Only as a last resort, Dr. Stires said,
should America be drawn into European
envy and hatred Every nation should
be allowed to retain control OF its do

Wilson to return to fight the spread of
unrest, which he said has grown to a
dangerous point.
