RADICAL TEACHING :
IS SEEN AS MENACE
West Virginia Ex-Governor
Tells University Class How
to Counteract Propaganda.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BURLINGTON, VT. June 2o.-Five
ways in which college graduates can
help to counteract radicalism were out
lined by former Gov. John J. Corn
well Of West Virginia, in an address
at the commencement exercises of the
University of Vermont today.
The degree OF doctor Of laws was
conferred on Mr.. CornwelI and Gov.
James Hartness of Vermont. Degrees
In course were conferred on 1913
young men and women.
I'VE are literally befogged with un-
digested ideas and impractical the
ories OF business and government"
said FORMER Gov. Cornwell. There are
real menaces all around us. The ef-
| forts of the radical teachers and
propagandists are directed more par
| ticularly toward the millions of men
who belong to the various labor
unions. Their hope, their aim, their
| confident purpose, is TO bring about
| the naturalization of all industry,
| beginning with the railroads, the coal
mines and what they term the basic
| industries.
VIII BE No Turning Back.
when this government once enters
upon that step there is no turning
| plunge will be taken speedily for the
abolition of all private property
rights. the specialization of all indus
try and all property. 1t means COM
munism, with the destruction of all
individual initiative and a headiong
leap into the vortex of anarchy and
| bedlam, such as has settled over
Russia.
what is the solution of the great
questions that are before US? There
are several things you young men
and women may be able to do:
! First. See that you put your pa
triotism before your political party.
| Second. If you become an employer,
| do not forget that the men IN your
! employ are human beings. men with
hearts and souls and with ambitions
and aspirations. just like yourself.
Mutual Right. Enjoined.
Third. If you become an employe.
keep ever in mind that while you are
entitled to honest pay. to fair and
reasonable compensation for what
you do. your employer is ilikewise en-
titled TO an honest days work; that he
is entitled TO your loyalty, your interest
and your support in return ior the
money he pays you.
| Fourth. Keep ever in mind that the
Iway to preserve this government
which your forefathers fought for
and some Of them died to establish, Is
Ito make il worth preserving.
Fifth. AS citizens Of the United
Estates of America be ever alert TO de-
fend your government. its institutions
and ideals: defend them not only n
time of war. but in time of peace.

The main trouble in almost every

that the readjustment was both IN
evitable and conquerable: They nave

the federal reserve act are sung again

Sure OF Improvement.
The term confidence" has been so
much used that it doesn't always con-
vey strong impression. But the
truth is government officials are as
sure about the turn for the better IN
business conditions as they are that
the autumn follows summer. This con-
fidence grows out Of the fact that al.
ready the views expressed by the
government experts last December
have been absolutely confirmed. The
readjustment has followed the ex-
pected lines. One business after the
other had had its struggle with high
labor costs, war extravagances and
inefficient methods. which always
come with sudden expansion. The
spring revival in some businesses
was more than was anticipated. In
others it proved that the readjust-
ment had not gone far enough. Con-
servative judgment is being expressed
about the autumn. but the wise heads
in American industry are making eI-
cellent use of the summer months to
readjust and plan for the march be-
yond the September milestone.
