 The meeting of the New London
 County Congrega tional Ministers as- sociation, held Tuesday at the First Congregational church, brought to- gether a large representation of the clergy from various places. Rev 0. D
 Fisher, of North Stonington, conducted
 the devotional service which opened atsten o'clock, and was also moderator og the business meeting which followed.
 There was the reading of minutes and reports of special cornmittees There was an interestirfg address by Rev. 1 Joseph H. Se1den, D. D., on The Alien lin Our Midst, Why is He Disloyal? which opened with the frank statement, l that the alien as such was not disloyal. Only sections of the aliens in this
 country have shown a disrespect to the I flag. The speaker gave a. history of I the peasant Slav who had come to this country in large numbers before ] the war. The sneaker described the
 hard ships which the alien had to un-
 dergo on the journey and the advant- ! age taken of him because of his, ig-. norance and heipfuluess in strange
 land. Where he is disloyal it is .be-.
 cause he does not know America and
 what America stands for. He only I knows what the ae3fator who wants to l exploit him tells him about our gov ! eminent
 This was followed by discussions | which closed the morning meeting. At 1 one o'clock an appetizing luncheon was kserved in the chapel and consisted of 1 beef loaf tongue, bread and butter, l doughnuts, cheese. pie, and coffee The 1 committee in charge was Mrs.
 Dwight W. Avery, Mrs. Walter Potter,
 Mrs. .Woodbury O. Rogers, and Miss 1 Jennie l.. Case, assisted by Miss Ma irion |. Bailey and Miss Ruth L. Pot I ter
 Tn the afternoon Professor Edwin i H. Kellogg from Connecticut College Itreated the subject assigned him
 which was Socialism. though the
 theme was entirely outside his line of teaching. Starting with the theory of Carl Max that socialism is virtually
 state control of wealth and its re- sources, the speaker srefuted the posi- ltion as impra cticable and untenable. He maintained that the confiscation l.of private property was unethica1 and that the capitalists cannot give up pri-
 vate ownership of property without committing industrial suicide. The speaker emphasized the point that there should be more careful plan
 ming in the production of wealth to l.ayoid waste, and more equity in the
 distribution of the worlds resources T Those present at this very interest I ing meeting included: Rev. J. Romeyn
