tunes have been obtained by oppreSS-
ing and robbing the poor.
With this fiction as a foundation
you may boldly advocate wealth shar-
ing measures. Since those who expect
TO gain by this legalized robbery out
number those who are to be robbed
by more than ten to one, the move
ment can be made immensely popu-
lar.
Destroy the faith of the people in
the business leadership of the coun-
try by giving great publicity to the
few who have failed. and saying moth
ing about the thousands who have
achieved great things, and made
enormous contributions to general
welfare.
by this method the unthinking
crowds may be led TO the conclusion
that the whole system is bad and
should be abolished.
Don't attack the constitution di-
rectly. 1t is surrounded with too much
sentiment to be destroyed by open
attack. Use the method of indirection.
Hold on to the name, but rob it of its
power by forced construction and po-
litical Interpretation. Ridicule those
who oppose this radical change as
moSSbackS or as the defenders of the
capitalist class.
PROJECT the government into buSl-
ness as -apidly as possible. Since the
government may put the prices as
low as it pleases and charge the losses
and wastes to the taxpayers, and
eventually to the consumer, it can
easily drive out and destroy every
competitor in private business, and
convince the ignorant that the gov
eminent should take over all business,
and this is socialism.
Make the public debt as large as
possible. From the American view
point the public debt is a liability.
But from the socialist point of view
it is a great asset. The very strong
sentiment and conviction among the
American people that the govern
ment will deal fairly with them in. the
loans it secures, will lead them to go
the limit in lending money 10 the
government.
Capitalize this sentiment for all it
is worth. Entice them to turn over
their money and property to the gov
eminent as loans. Then when the
limit is reached, the whole cost of the
movement, waste and all, can be paid
off by the government in irredeem-
able paper money, that costs the gov
eminent nothing, and will be worth
but little or nothing to those who get
ii.
Then the socialist state can start
off immensely rich, and in debt to no
one.
The change from the gold standard
TO a system of irredeemable paper
money was marvellous achievement
as an effective means by which prop
erty owners may be made 10 finance
their own destruction"

Personally, we would be very glad to
zee the Federal government get out of the
relief business but we wonder if anybody
else will take care of the needy. We do
if the government would give us back our
former governmental activities we could
sustain ourselves without further financial
aid, ard maintain our self-respect.

. Cappella
ChoirSings
Lent Music

A wEIL-ARRANGED program was
- presented last night by the A
Cappella Choir of the First Congre-
gational Church, Ruby Smith Stahl,
conductor, as its sixth annual Lenten
concert. Following reques, printed
on the program, the large audience,
which filled the ball room Of the May
flower Hotel, refrained from applause
between numbers and expressed ap-
proval only between the three parts
Of the program. The choir appeared
in vestments, the conductor wearing q
long black robe. Above and behind
the choir a large dull gold cross, SYM
bolical of the approaching holy week,
was placed.
The choir. composed of men and
women. is well balanced and sings with
precision, excellent shading and enun-
citation, the tone in the pianiSsimo
passages being rich and very ihusical.
In the louder parts the tone lost much
Of its sweetness, particularly in the
soprano. The singers used no music
and had no accompaniment, a chord
being struck softly on the piano pre-
ceding each number. The information
was good and what slight wavering
from the pitch there was, was among
the sopranos. The incidental solos
were sung by the conductor, Mrs.
Stahl, soprano; Dorothy Halbach, con-
tralto; Don Waite, tenor, and Dale
Hamilton, bass, and while their voices
rang out clear above the choir there
was a uniform lack of color to their
tones, more marked in the solo work
than in the choir as whole.
Mrs. Stahl is graceful conductor.
making no unnecessary movements,
and accomplishes results more by
means of her hands and facial ex-
preston, rather than the waving of
her arms. The effects obtained are
unusually good in attacks and finished
phrasing, and are very effective in
diminuendos and crescendos.
The first number was Bach's "If by
His Spirit" and the first part of the
program contained a number of COM
positions appropriate to the Christ
mas season, closing with Brahms
Grant Unto Me the Joy of Thy Sal
vation," Mabel Daniels THE Christ
Child" and Alcock's Holy, Holy,
Holy" sung devotionally and effective
ly. The second part included Gretch-
aninoff's "Nunc Dimittis" and Clio
ria" arranged by Arschenbrenner;
Arkhangelsky's Hear My Prayer" and
Maud Sewall's Jesus, the Very
Thought of Thee" the last heard by
the composer herself, who sat in one
of the upper boxes.
The third part of the program
opened with Samuel Richards Gaines
setting for The Lords Prayer" in
which the choir did very good work
in the rather difficult harmonies. Gus
tav Holst's Lullaby My Liking" and
Harry Burleigh's setting o. the Negro
spiritual, MY Lord, What Mornin',"
and the stirring "Hallelujah. Praise
Ye the Lord" of Lewandowski made
a somewhat thrilling close to devo-
tional program. X. B.

Seeks to Turn Back
Hands of Clock.

Citing the social inequalities aris-
ing from the cspitalistic system, Sec
retary Ickes last night pointed to the
New Deal as q remedy for "funda-
mental social and political issues
which cannot longer be postponed"
His address was made at conven-
ton dinner of the United Synagogue
of America and its Women's League,
In session at the Willard Hotel.
This administration is urging adop-
tion of the pending child labor amend
nent to the Constitution" he said.
I'VE stand for old-age pensions and
unemployment insurance to lift the
dread of an uncertain future from
those who live in economic insecurity.
We have tried to make it possible for
labor to bargain on some basis ap-
preaching equality with its employers.
- Made Sincere Efforts.
Opposing the social regeneration of
the Nation stand the exploiting classes
who would turn back the hands
Of the clock. They have always bit
terly opposed every social advance" !"
he said.
In numerous other ways" he
stated, describing various agencies Of
the New Deal, I'VE have made sincere
efforts to mitigate and correct the
destructive and rlinous forces that
had secured control of the Govern
ment. They are for laissez faire; for
the status quo ante; they care not, nor
have they ever cared, how the great
mass Of the American people live"
Pointing out "the then controlling
social and political institutions" he
cited their responsibility for the poorer
Classifying, If hungry, examples
of the productivity Of the inventive
genius of America, the tender-hearted-
ness of her rugged individualiStS. He
deplored 'the special privileges
granted the liege lords of finance by
O complacent Government"

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, in
luncheon address yesterday before
delegates Of the Women's League,
urged the strengthening Of spiritual
and moral values If problems Of the
world are to be solved.
I'm the long rum" she said, I'VE go
forward and succeed together, and
when we drive other people down we
no longer prosper.
"Our concept Of life is changing,
suspect" she stated, 'and We real
ize that new objectives are now before
us. There would be fewer problems
If all people approached them with a
real desire to do things"
Others on Program.
She described unselfishness as the
key to true spiritual progress, point
ing out that a solution of material
problems will come through posses
sion Of that quality.

gram were Herman P. Koppleman, vice
