born into a certain caste may fall
beneath it, he a never rise above
it.
Coming west in Europe we have
another civilization, diversified,
splendid. 1t had the good fortune to
have the Christian religion intro
duced there two thousand years ago.
But that civilization is manifest in
its social structure by a system that
we call class. A carpenter in Eng
land or France or Belgium or Ger
many has a thousand chances that
he will remain in that class against
one that he ever will get out of it.
So with his children. And it there
fore happens that the great throb-
bling, passionate struggle of the pro-
letariat in the European countries
for betterment had TO take the form
OF a class movement. The only way
that a carpenter or a blacksmith or
a shoemaker in these countries "a
better his condition is by raising the
general level of his class

We were given this great nation

Faliacies OF Socialism
The working man needs TO be ed

he belongs. in the buying and ~eling.
in the problems of the business, so
that when he goes to his place OF
work he is not standing making a
few physical motions, but he 10 MAX
ing a link in a great complete organ
ization, which he understands.
Then, he needs to be educated IN
the QlIlSIehEG 0CL6CNh 0-
Europe. He needs to be educated,
| for instance, In the problems OF Soc
! ialism, Belshevism or Communism.
What are these things? Why, we all
| have an answer to that, but what is
| the fact? The fact is that socialism
| was the invention of q German-JeW:
| About eighty-hve years ago Kari
| Marx discovered that all the Ills OF
the world may be traced to economic
| cause. We thus traced most of them
to a moral cause.
He found that central evil eranch-
ed into a trinity; private property
the wage system, and profits upon In
! vestments; and he proposed tc up
| root that evil. Where would he ma
| an instrument big enough2 He look
ed at the schools, he looked at the
| manufacturers. he licked at the
banks; and he chose the only posi-
| Bile instrument. the political state,
| which is the second oldest INSTITUTION
| in the world.
For sixty years that theory foated
in the air, and people fought aeout
it, because We never a q chance
to try it out on a commercial sea-
Then came the great war n we
adopted certain principles of state
socialism. We were cured by q
wear and a half of ii, under the best
| possible circumstances; and l don
believe that this nation will ever
again become secialistic, because a
burnt cat breads the fire, n we
have had enough of it, and more
than enough.
Now in Europe. there was a
| couple of gentlemen, one OF whorn
was a very able eltisen, Lenin. They
were Russians, n OF them was ar

(Ses paragraph helow,) When we

worst is better than the best OF any
| other nation on earth. We don't
know what suffering is in this oun
try, we don't know what loss is. We
don't know what ruin is. And in
stead OF complaining and worrying
and expecting the worst. we ought
