Western Civilization’s Last Hope Is America,

Calls Mussolini Combination of Barnum & Bailey, Raps Other Dictatorships in Address At Propylacum Club.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON Dr. John J. Haramy offered several persistently unpleasant tastes of the acute frustrations which are concomitants of “Dictatorships in Action” last night at the Propylacum Club. With naziism, fascism and communism rampant in Europe, if Western civilization is to be saved it will have to be saved by America, he declared in an address following the Sunday evening buffet supper. When a whole nation is so regimented and standardized that it must ery “Heil Hitler!” to restaurant patrons and department store

customers and even have the Fuehrer’s name substituted for the words, “God Almighty,” in obituaries, it loses its soul and its people

become nothing but cogs in a machine, he said.

“The totalitarian

state, which requires supremacy of the state and dictator over the

church, is tending toward paganism.

The leader is considered not

human, but divine and children are instilled with devotion to a man

rather than to a religion.

“Mussolini is a Barnum and Bailey combined. when II Duce made one of his balcony appearances, saying: don’t believe in peace; it's war that makes us great’

I was in Rome ‘We The half-

starved Italian masses are paving the price of militarism with the recent outbreak of pellagra which is caused by improper diet.” As an illustration of his statement that dictatorship saps the soul and essence of life itself, destroying all that is noble and sup= pressing all that is dear, Dr. Haramy related the three wishes of

Tony, an Italian friend, who is not 100 per cent fascist. I were in America so I could eat what I want and all I want;

“I wish 4

wish I were in America so I could work for whom I want at what I want; IT wish I were in America so I could say what I want as loudly

as I want.”

Russia today is simply one national prison where every man is a slave of the state. Dr. Haramy declared. “The glory of the new transSiherian railroad fades when one realizes that the Government plucked a half million farmers from their homes and families to

build it

After the Government sent soldiers to confiscate farmers’

wheat thousands died of a Government created famine while the

Government store houses were full’

It is time for Americans to open their eves to what they have and not let conditions arise out of which dictatorships come, he added.

“Europe's elaborate preparations for war will be used some day.

We

must appreciate our heritage and responsibility of which liberty, freedom and democracy are the foundation stones.” Mrs. Frederick E. Matson, entertainment chairman, introduced the speaker.

Spring Dresses Feature Dramatic Club Play

“Enchanted April” was the signal

for the Dramatic Club's

feminine centingent to lay aside tired winter evening frocks in favor of a captivating array of springtime raiment Saturday evening. The

actresses, who changed costumes at

a dizzy pace, as well as the

fascinated spectators were sartorially in tune with the mood of the

new season at the performance at

English’'s Theater.

A trail of

American Beauty roses, rising to splendid heights in three treelike arrangements of crystal bottle vases, decorated the long table reserved for the cast and committee at the post-theater supper dance

fon gown with wide knife-pleated skirt.

lace bolero.

Mrs. George H. Denny, cast as the tart and elderly Mrs,

Fisher, chose a white lace frock. Mrs. Robert I. Blakeman Jr, the servant who rattled off Italian with considerable verve, was gowned in white chiffon with bodice beaded in shining crystal. Mrs. Albert J. Beveridge Jr, cochairman of the play committee with her husband, wore misty gray net over pale pink crepe. Aquamarine chiffon, full skirted with short puffed sleeves, fashioned the

dress of Mrs. Jeremiah I. Cadick, a committee member.

Mrs. John

K. Ruckelshaus, also on the committee, was lovely in orchid chiffon over pink with a sash of red and green velvet and a cluster of pink

carnations in her hair.

Mrs. Edward J. Bennett,

who had been

hostess for a dinner party before the performance, wore a crisp white net gown embroidered with red cherries. Miss Betsy Home, who had entertained a group of the younger set for dinner, chose full-skirted

red chiffon with basque waist of blue.

Mrs. Henry C. Atkins Jr., who
