U. S. FACING CRISIS,
DR. WALSH ASSERTS
G. U. Vice President Discusses
Revolutionary Tendencies
of New Seal.
Revolutionary tendencies on the
surface of the New Deal were dis
cussed Friday night by Dr. Edmund A.
Walsh, S. J., vice president of George
town University. In the third of his
series of public lectures on "The Prog
ress of Revolutionary Thought."
The country Is faced with a crisis
second only to that which threatened
the life of the new-born Republic In
1787 on the eve of the Constitutional
Convention, he declared, and similar
to that before the Civil War.
"If we have truly come to the end
of an epoch, as Mr. Wallace, Secre
tary of Agriculture, announced this
week," he asked, "what historic sign
poet is available to mark the turning
of a new corner?
"I should say we are in that phase
of 'speech-reaction' which students
of revolution find present In all
authentic social upheavals. This uni
versal unloosening of the tongues does
not always lead to revolt, but does
Indicate the direction of the current
and the rate of its flow.
"The country has transformed itself
into a huge open forum. It is mat
ter of record that a similar phenome
non preceded both the French and
thê Russian revolutions, and marked
the definite psychological prelude to
our own revolution and Civil War. In
vestigations, public and private, are
the fashions of the hour. They may
turn out to be a welcome esca. . from
something worse."
