Tawes, the Red Cross chairman at

to Tangier was supplies which retail
stores on the island had ordered from
wholesale houses at Crisfield and were
not actually direct relief supplies. He
said he did not think the expedition

Public Ownership.
Although there are wide differences

Norman Thomas to the left wing
Communists, the distinguishing mark
of all MARKHAM Socialism is, In the
words of the platform Of the Socialist
Party of America, the proposal Ito
transfer the principal industries Of
the country from private ownership

As first steps in this program, the

In contrast to the Socialists who

New Deal Does Not Mean

bACkGhOUND-
The controversy oper phether the
New Deal Is socialistic, charged by
Alfred E. Smith and denied by Nor
man Thomas, is discussed here
from a partisan uie,opoint By
the assistant professor OF gopern-
ment at Columbia University. The

dsine articles and seperal books, in
cluding "The Ne,o Deal in Action"
and "The Governmental Machine"

NEW YORK, February 8 tN.A.N.A).
Once again the specter of socialism
enters an American political cam
paign. In his speech before the Lib
erty League, Alfred E. Smith de-
nounced the New Deal policies as
essentially socialistic in character. A
week later Norman Thomas. erstwhile
Socialist candidate for the presidency
Of the United States. characterized
Smiths statement as defamation of
both the Socialist party and Socialist
doctrine.
Inevitably the question arises: Who
Is right? What is socialism?
The encyclopedia Of the social sci
ences opens its discussion of socialism
with the sentence: The terms social
ism. communism and collectivism,
which have often been used inter-
changeably, are ambiguous and ILL
defined; for this reason they have an
exceedingly wide range of specific
connotations." Then for some 20

CHICAGO, February ga blizzard,

howled out of the West tonight in
Winters bitterest assault Of the year.
Racing 80 miles an hour across
Eastern Iowa, bound for the Lake
States, it sent temperatures plunging 20

State.
But the Western storm was due to
reach Indiana during the night and
speed on to Ohio.
Along the Atlantic Coast shipping
was delayed by storms and New York
was awaiting a blizzard predicted for
tomorrow.
Drifts Bury Trains.
A half-dozen freight trains were
buried in Iowa snowdrifts and as
many or more through passenger
trains were held up.
Because Of the drifts, highways to
the Ignite mines in South Dakota we're
blocked and serious shortage of fuel
threatened towns in tn northwestern
section. Similar plights were reported
In many other places. Maitland, MO-,
caught in its worst storm Of the season
without fuel, appealed to Gov. Parks,
who ordered two carloads shipped.
Kewanee, Ill, bins were exhausted
Miners found it difficult to get to work
because of heavy snow.
Coal Prices Rise.
PENNSYLVANIA saw coal prices rising
as the temperatures dropped.
The Texas Panhandle varied the
days weather picture with a report
of a duStstorm, as the coldest weather
gripped that State. Dodge City, Kans.,
saw cocoa-colored snow following the
worst black blizzard" since last Sum-
mer.
North Dakota authorities warned all
motorists of the highways. Michi-
gan reported some of its communi-
