Socialism Ends In
Anarchy, Miss Schwed
Tells Her Audience

HAll Socialism ends in anarchy, Miss
'Hermire Schwed., field secretary Of
the National Association \for Consti-
tutional Government. declared in her
address at the city hall on Wednesday
evening. Socialists call all those
who oppose them, re~actionaries, but
as a matter of fact they themselves
r the real reactionaries," Miss
Schwed stated. NJ
The Socialists are not the true
friends Of the working people, Miss
Schwed pointed out, since in the revo-
luton which the Socialist leaders
urge, the working people would be
the ones to suffer- the most. The
capitalists could escape the worst Of
it, she declared, but. the workers
would be tied down. ~
Miss schwed discussed her own ex-
perience as a parlor Socialist, and
her subsequent, conversion. Parlor
Socialists, she explained, are Socialists
who do not know what they are about.
Genuine Socialists do know.
Socialism.is an insincere philosophy,
Miss Schwed said. The few leaders
know that it cannot work, butt the
millions Of followers throughout the
world do not know the truth about it.
They are deliberately misled.
The speaker pointed out that
Socialism masks under many names.
and cited the Nonpartisan league in
North Dakota az an example OF this.

kota to give a series Of addresses, APP
peared in Grand Forks under the
auspices of the Business and Profess
sional Women's club.
