Canham, editor Os the Christian Science Monitor, told businessmen sh New Tork that America is actually the seat of a continuing and progressive revolution white Communist Russia is tied to a doctrine of reaction. To those who associate revolution - with bloodshed and violence the editor’s words may seem strange. But they provoke thought. . Certainly the change in the stand* ard of living in America over the ydlrs has been? {revolutionary. I Workers in thia country hive a respected place and earn incomes which allow all of us to live as only the wealthy can in most of . the rest of the world. Educational opportunities are not restricted by> class, and not very much by wealth. All this has been accomplished under a system which allows the greatest amount; of individual liberty. 7; The so-called-Communist revolutions have not fulfilled thepromises made for social reforms. 5 Royal tyrants have been replaced by dictators who have proved no better. In some cases hohest men struggling to solve problems in a democratic way have been succeeded by Reds who took away individual freedom. It may be that we would have moi4a success Jn selling democracy - - * t*' if we should point out that it is actually revolutionary in a progressive, constructive manner, while Communism is actually \reactionary despite its talk of revolution. gj- , ‘ y r 0 I Modern Etiquette I i BY ROBERTA LIE • o—— _ 0 Q.
