Religious Leader Discusses League
"The New Social Order," by Doctor Ward, Exposed
Forces Opposing Organized Farmers
HAT might be character
ized as a progressive
churchman's view of the
Nonpartisan league is
found in Rev. Harry F.
Ward's new book, "The
Social Order." Doctor Ward is pro
fessor of Christian ethics in Union
Theological seminary in New York
City, but he is better known as a lead
er in the Methodist Federation of So
cial Service and as an author dealing
with practical application of Chris
tianity.
Doctor Ward informs his readers as
to what the Nonpartisan league is and
goes briefly into its aims and objects.
In his summary Doctor Ward saysi •_*
"The significance of this movement
is not simply that the farmer is in
politics the farmer of this country
has always been in politics. From the
time when he drove his wagon for
two days across the prairies to hear
Lincoln debate with Douglas until the
time of the Populist movement not a
little of the political thinking of this
country has been done by the man of
the soil. But the significant thing
about this present situation is that
the farmer is in politics for economic
purposes, that he is trying to change
the government in order to secure cer
tain changes in economic order.
"As soon as he attempts to look
after his own occupational and social
interest through legislation, the farmer
finds that he is met by something
other than political opposition. He
finds that he is treated to the same
measures of repression which have
long been used in this country against
the industrial workers when they have
sought to improve their conditions.
After people get over the first shock,
their ideas get clarified considerably
by getting pounded over the head a
few times, and now that the-farmers
have had their meetings broken up
and have been driven out of towns
after their organizers have been beat
en and imprisoned under false pre
tenses, they come to understand pret
ty definitely what are the forces be
hind the opposition to even the begin
nings of a new social order in the
United States and how they operate.
"Therefore it is quite certain that
those who are attempting to discour
age the farmer's, interest in a new
order of things by methods of savage
repression will but increase and ac
centuate it.
"Another significant aspect of the
farmer's program is that he is in pol
itics for economic purposes as a prop
erty holder or at least as a man who
intends to become one."
That Doctor Ward is not alone
among churchmen in thinking that we
need a new order of industrial and po
litical life is shown by the following
from the last yearly pastoral letter
of the Episcopal house of bishops:
"Neither in America nor in the
world at large may the vicious fea
tures of the old order ever again re
ceive the hand of welcome from hon
est men. We are done with them as
completely as this country was done
with slavery after the Civil war."
From the general tenor of state
ments by churchmen and church pa
pers, it would appear that an increas
ing number see the absolute need of
a large measure of industrial democ
racy both for the farmer and the city
workman.
