Prof. Dunninig of Columbia Uni. verslty Gives Expert Testi- mony-Points Out Some h. terviews.

! m', Clemens, Mich, July % 1o1o TOT the second time since tba Eo,
 irioune case began to attract the at.
 en'ion or the nation there has an. peared on the witness stand an ovnor. on anarchy. "" eApert Ihe first witness was Prof Iosso e o,eS' professor of political science VI the University of Michigan. who wae called by the Chicago Tribune me second witness was Prof w M A. Dunnlng, professor of History and Foiltlcal Philosophy in Columb,a ITni' Verslty called by Ford counsel.
 when Henry Ford" asked counsel
 said that we should cease talking aDout this factory, this state. tbis country, and begin to talk about this world was he speaking the doctrine of anarchy?" '- MO-" that is the general thought of cosmopolitanism. The first record of that loea to be put down that has SLIT. vived to our times was made bv tba cynical school of philosophy, to which Dlogenes belonged. It was held in a very definite way by the stoics in Ath. ems as early as 300 B. C."
 IS there anything peculiarly anar. chistic about it?"
 "No."
 MT. Ford" continued counsel. "also said that he believed humanity could make mistakes but could do nothing worse. He said that he believed ev. erything tended toward the good and that even the terrible war would re- sult ln blessings to the world. Is there anything anarchistic about that?"
 Mo-" responded Professor Cunning. Those were commonplace before an anarchist was ever heard of. The idea that man is naturally good is the base of Plato's morals. It has permeated moral philosophy even since." ] Now about the statement made by MT. Ford that war is murder.'?" Tt is essentially anti-militaristic and pacifistic, but it is not anarchistic, 1t Is frequently uttered at every peace conference"
 Now Professor" said Ford counsel, There is the expression attributed to Henry Ford to the effect that the word murderer should be embroider-i cd across every soldiers breast. Is that anarchistic?"
 "Well the embroidered part is new; l have never seen it before, but the idea that war is murder is very old, much older than anarchic."
 There is some evidence in the case that lady used that expression, 'em- broidery'?"
 "I should think so, no man would have thought of it."
 "Mr. Ford also said that wars were inspired by men who made munitions, men who made money to lend, and militarists who wanted to show of what they had learned. Is that an- archistic?"
 Tt is very common to social thought"
 Prof. Cunning then proceeded to ex- plain that there is wide difference between socialism and anarchy. An archy, he said, wishes no government and would abolish all property. So- cialists wish government administered by the working classes and would have all capital and property controlled by the state.
 The Uitness then went over num- Der of interviews in which MT. Ford had been quoted. He pointed out numerous references whose tone indf- cated that MT. Ford believed in gov ernment and he also called attention to MT. Ford's numerous references to the ballot, advising it's uses. These, he said indicated confidence in the orderly processes of government.
 In no writing or interview, said the witness, could he find single indica- lion that MT. Ford was an anarchist either in the common or philosophical conception of that term.
 Long as the trial has been, Judge Tucker declared on the stand again Tuesday that all the material evidence inferred would be admitted, eff it takes
