ously overcrowded conditions at East
ern High School.

gard to Eastern High School," he

DEAL" LECTURE
Threatens every Meaning
of Liberty" He Says in
First of Series.

Rev. DIR. Edmund A. Walsh, vice
president of Georgetown University,
attacked the New Deal last night as
disturbing the fundamental concepts
of government and democracy and
threatening the very meaning of lib
erty."
He also deplored conditions under
previous administrations, declaring
the net result of old and new orders
had been to bring democracy in
America to one of the major cross
roads in the evolution of our social
and political destiny"
His lecture was the first of a series
of public addresses on christianity,
Communism and Democracy" He
spoke in Castor Hall.
Bitter Conflict Envisaged.
Signs are plentiful, Father Walsh
declared. that the political campaign
OF 1896 will witness a conflict Of
passions and ideas" similar to that
which characterized the Lincoln
Douglas debates in the era preceding
the Civil War.
"The New Deal" he asserted, "is
not only political program, but a
philosophy of Government, an eco
nomic theory, social evangel and a
daring adventure in public finance" 4"
The basic conflict confronting the
American people. Father Walsh said,
derives from world conditions and
from divers origins.
1T antedates Franklin Roosevelt
and Democratic administration,
neither was it caused by Herbert
Hoover, aided and abetted by Repub-
hcan rascals," he said.
Both Parties Held Guilty.
Both political parties in the hey
day OF exuberance were equally guilty
of economic folly, since both shared
the common human tendency to ex-
cess; both were addicted to identical
business practices. Both parties knew
how to read the ticker tape in 1929. I"
