Facing Critical Period.
"Altbough many of us do not realize
il we are now facing one or the lilos,
critical periods in the worlds hlstotY,
declared the speaker In oegll.lllls.
"Tha world has relied on physical force
tn settle it's disputes in the past ana rs

solving its difficulties when as matter
af fact nothing of great Importance has
over been definitely settled by phSsicaI1

than two wears ago at the CONCLUSION 81
Judge CheadIe was wildly applauded az
+h;s point when he declared that the
neonle Of the country must resort V
Justice and fair play rather than force
TO settle disputes
Arbitration for All Difficulties
"If we but observe the teachings OF OF
Iesus the Prince of Peace, ne sald'
"there will be no need of war, neltner
will we need to look to bolshevism lor
remedy for the evils Of the soclai sFs-
tenn. The evils will vanish II 'hese
teachings are observed.
IA rh;tra+ion must become the means
of settling industrial and national dlffi-
culties. In reality there is no such great
clash of class interests in this country
as the leaders Of the radicals would lead
us to believe The fundamental inter

found essentially the same as those OF
any other class. If everyone. cmpIose or
emnloyer would bear this in mind much
of the trouble which seems SO incurable
would vanish.
Montana is now facing a very Seri-
Gus situation and is taking very seri-
Gus step to remedy it. even more serl-
Gus than the mere statements OF the
Nonpartisan leaders regarding the Non
partisan platform would seem 10 ildl-
cate" continued Judge Cheadle.
State Socialism Nonparttsan Aim.
"The ostensble platform of the Dem
ocratic party for Montana in itself IS
not ANYTHING to arouse the suspicious OF
the neople. However. the declarations
made BY the Nonpartisan leaders are
alarming. When one investigates rhls
nlatform of @he Nonpartisan league ne
finds out sooner or later that It adyp-
Gates the Inauguration of state social
ism no matter what arguments the No,l-
partisan leaders may advance 70 fie
contrary.
..'The Nonpartisan league government
in North Dakota is nothing else than a
form Of state socialism. 1t aims at
government ownership Of lndlstry
which is the basis Of state socialism.
Would End individual Initiative.
.sTh;s nrozram. carried to its logical
conclusion. will mean the elimination OF
individual initiative and ambition it
will mean that ultimately the concep-
ton of God. of the family and religion
will be abolished. All forms or stare
socialism really rest on this basic nr1n-
ciple. u.
.If such thing as socialism really
could be worked ont people would not
be even as contented as they are now
for under such scheme no pro.
vision could be made for the wants of
the individual.
SociaIistic Plan Ignores Individual.
.Furthermore. the socialistic plan
would fail for the reason that it Ialis
to take into consideration the spiritual.
moral and mental side of man; Whioh
really counts far more than the ma
teriaj side, the only phase with which
this rarty deals. 1t does not leave sui
ficient room for individual thought.
"It is here that America and Russia
differ. There is no individualism OF
thought in Russia in fact, Russia has not
learned to think and she now has the
soviet Can America the land where the
intellect and initiative Of the individual
count so much, ever bow to the levelling,
degrading principle Of the soviet, which
would leave no room for Individual
thought and progress!"
In continuing the arguments against
the socialistic forms advocated by the
Nonpartisan league the speaker cited
failures of state socialstic systems to
show that the idea can not be expected
to become successful if tried in Mon
tana.
''The socialistic Plan of government
is not now" he said. 1T has been tried
in various ways since the beginning of
the Athenaean republic and has never
vet been found successful.
No Relief in Dakota Plan.
"Nor can we count on any relief if
we adopt the form of state socialism
now operating in North Dakota ,q nndar
the Nonpartisan government These
has been no single benefit which the
