Unrest Remedy at Catholic
University Graduation.


communism, bolshevism, socialism.
syndicalism, and all other ereeds OF
kindred species would collapse over
night were II not for the false doc
trines and powerful forces OF greed
and selnshness that permeate the
great business and educational world
in the mad rush for gold" declared
Senator David 1. Walsh, of Massachu-
setts. this morning in hts address TO
the graduating class OF the Cathoiie
Universally.
.ISnorance and poverty are not
alone responsible for the growth OF
these pernicious isms that seek 10
Undermine all law and governmental
authority. Modern education without
the ennoblins influence OF Christian
ideals Is likewise contributing false
theories and leading society blindly
awaj from those great fundamental
truths and stabAizing influences that
can make for lasting contentment,
happiness. peace, and - prosperity
among all classes Of society"
roo MUCH To be HEALTHY.
Senator Walsh declared that there
were never SO many unorganized
forces in the social, political or nnan-
cial world waiting for lieutenants and
captains to lead them in the supreme
EFFORT of steadying and settling their
conflicting convictions and helping
them to get out OF life the highest,
the best and the noblest results.
why is there so much restlessness
In the world? Discomfort and dissat-
isfaction has permeated every strata
OF society. This dissatisfaction in the
existing order of mans relationship
to society and TO Government may not
be as great as some allege. but there
is altogether, much more Of than Is
healthy. .. ...
Men who have been watching the
tremors and vibrations Of the social
organism believe we are approaching
a condition which. IL tt continues to
expand. will sooner or later lead to an
open contest for or against policies
and political doctrines that may In
volve the destruction of the Govern
ment OF our forefathers."
The reasons for the disturbance,
Senator Walsh explained, were the in
fuence of those false theories pro-
mitigating a continuous class strug-
gle and nourishing and spreading in
famous doctrines to the effect that we
live ! a Goddess world, and that the
only principles OF any concern are the
questions of material welfare.
REsENTFUL OF LEADERS.
That all are entitled TO share
equally in the distribution OF material
resources" and that the widespread
! insidious and scarcely discernible
! theories now being inculcated into
our youth that success is measured
"A md that al
means necessary to obtain these are
| justified; get what you can, but do 1t
as respectfully as possible: and II the
! conventions Of life and the law OF the
| land hinder you, organize for the sub
stitution of a new code of morals and
] of laws that give advantage to the
strong and powerful against the
weak"
The great mass OF people are re-
sentful of their leaders. he said, but
are apparently helpless to remove
shackling legislation. He declared
that profiteers were still rampant and
that "capitalistic agents" are at
tempting regulations which con
denim the workers to eternal and le-
gal involuntary servitude."
Resentment and rage grows to-
ward the clique who would turn over
America to the services of so-called
friendly foreign nations seeking to
bind other inherently free peoples
with strong hoops OF captivity" ne
said.
"Shun as you would a kissing SER
pent the false teachings Of the revo-
lutionist and the money worshipers.
Avoid both these camps of destructive
and faulty philosophy. Justice and
truth alone can make for world. ma
tional or individual peace and hap
piness"
