St. Paul Seminary: A clear and in
structive lecture on Social Move
ments in European Countries" was de-
livered to the student body of the st.
Paul Seminary Thursday afternoon by
the Reverend Aloysius ]. Muench, A.
NJ, d? D.; OF ST. Francis Seminary M il
waukee. Introduced by the Very Rev.
erend Humphrey Moynihan, Father
Mucnch called attention to the in
creasing interest displayed by the
people Of this country in social prob,
lens as the enormous sale of socio.
logical books testifies. Special EN-
phasis was laid on the social question
as affecting the work of the priest
The modern age, as Father Muench
stated, is the social age. The people
of the past century were imbued with
ideas of individualism, but the people
OF the twentieth century are displaying
more interest in their neighbor. His
tory is being made by labor organiza
tioas the world over. In the United
St; ties legislation has been enacted
laws have been placed on the statute
books Of various states, which in the
past century were never thought of
as minimum wage laws, eight hour
day, etc. This history of the United
States is being written by the per
welded by the various labor organiza
lions in this country.
The Catholic countries Of Europe
have to some extent lost their hole
on the working men, who have driftet
over to the Socialism of Karl MARI
and his followers. Catholic Austri;
is notable example of this. Unit
one and half years ago the working
men of that country were strong sup
porters of MARKHAM doctrines. Sine,
then. however, reaction set in. TIL,
people soon tired of principles tinget
with the red of Bolshevism.
Other countries are realizing tn
crying need of meeting the wave o
Socialism which threatens to engul
them. The University of Milan, il
Italy, has established a school of sc
GEOLOGY. The Archbishops and Bisf
ops of Spain have instituted a univel
sisy for research work along socia
lines. France has established socia
study clubs in various parishe
throughout the country, and has d.
yeloped them more than any othe
country. The young men of Franc
are exerting a profound influence o
political questions of the day, due
the interest aroused by these stud
clubs. In Holland and Belgium socis
study is very well developed. Bru
sells has established twenty-four labc
colleges in one year. The Labor pa
ty in England, for the first time
history. constitutes the first oppos
ton party in parliament. Labor CO
leges have also been established
this country, notably in London an
Oxford.
The largest body of workingmen
Europe is the international FEEDER
ton of Trade Unions with headqua
