Transcript | SOCIALISM Promise or Menace? A NEW BOOK BY •MORRIS HILLQUIT and J. AUGUSTINE RYAN Socialism is defended by Morris Hillquit, a distinguished practicing lawyer of New York City. Mr. Hillquit was born in Riga, Russia, and after his early education there came to this country and studied law in New York. He is the author of " History of Socialism in the United States," " Socialism in Theory and Practice," and " Socialism Summed Up." He has been a delegate to all national conventions of the Socialist party since 1899, and to the International Congress at Amsterdam, Stuttgart, and Copenhagen. The attack on Socialism is made by John Augustine Ryan, D. D., Professor of Moral Theology and Economics at St. Paul Seminary. Dr. Ryan was born in Minnesota, received his early education there, studied theology in St. Paul, and continued post-graduate studies at the Catholic University of America at Washington, D. C. He was ordained a priest in 1898 and eight years later was made a Doctor of Divinity. He is the author of "A Living Wage," one of the standard works in its own department of economics and his writings and lectures have given him national position as a leader of progressive thought in industrial, economic, and social fields. The chapters which constitute this book originally appeared in seven consecutive issues of Everybody's Magazine. The large and generous interest with which the discussion has been received by the reading public has warranted its reproduction with slight revisions, in the more permanent form of a book. *' The subject is not a discussion as to whether the Church or Socialism is right. It is a discussion of Socialism, attacked by a Churchman and defended by a Socialist." "The novel feature of this work is that for the first time, the opposing arguments are presented with she greatest completeness and highest competence, and side by side, in a form available for the immediate comparison of arguments.'' "The object of the joint ^discussion is to present to the reading public both sides of a much-mooted social problem and to draw attention to the promise or menace of a movement which is yearly growing in influence and extension. » J Cloth, 12mo., $1.25 net; postage extra.
