EDDY LAUDS AND ALSO
KNOCKS SOVIET RUSSIA

Seattle FP)-A high tribute to
the achievements of the Bolshevik
government was paid by Sherwood
Eddy, an international secretary of
the Y. M. G. A. in an address to the
Seattle Foreign Policy Association.
Eddy criticized the atheism of the
Communist party, the ruthlessness of
the revolution toward the old arts
tocracy and the reliance of the Boil
sheviks upon force and the abridge-
ment of political liberty but he prais-
ed the ideal of service rather than
profit which permeates the whole
soviet system.
Eddy contrasted very effectively
the practice of brotherhood by the
professed Russian atheists with the
greed of Christian Americans, the alb
sence of race prejudices there with
lynchings here, the concern for and
care of children there with the ex-
ploitation of child labor here.
Wherever militarism, capitalism
and Imperialism raise their heads
Soviet Russia stands forth as a chal-
lenge. And we can be thankful for
that" said Eddy.
In answer to questions Eddy de-
clared that the Russian government
was on a stable foundation and was
not propped up by the Red Army.

UNION TO REOPEN
THE SCOPES CASE

Despite the refusal of the Tennes-
see Supreme Court to receive briefs
asking rehearing of the Scopes evo-
luton case, Clarence barrow and
Arthur Garfield Hays, counsel for
the American Civil Liberties Union
have announced that they will not
allow the case to be shut off. Sever
al means are now being considered
for reopening the case and forcing
an issue. Mr.. Hays charges that the
courts are trying to dodge the issue.
He sees in their refusal to grant a
rehearing a victory for the defense.
The defense contention that the sta
tute was vague is well borne out, he
states, by the fact that the Court
gave out three different interpreta-
tions of its meaning. He predicts
that there will be no more arrests in
Tennessee for violation of the anti
evolution law, since a law so vague
obviously cannot be enforced.

hibited the teaching of evolution in
