Hollis has hitherto used American

preparing to abandon these as soon

The agreement with the transcon-

OF all socialistic plans.
This IS the belief expressed by Dan

In an address here on Historic
Failures IN Applied Socialism, chair
man Ryan said that the socialistic
plans were immoral because they
took from man his right OF all rights

were based upon common ownership
Of property land and personal. as

tights and power Of the individual TO
the community This embodied the
essence OF socialism. which has been
advocated from the philosopher Karl

same IN every single instance; that
Is, failure, and these failures re-
suited from one or more Of the fol-
lowing conditions; Lack Of capital,
inefficiency OF management, dissen-
si0ns among its members and the
