Rabbi Zarchi Confronted Maria Ressa, Walked Off Stage Over Her Harvard Commencement Speech
"Lessons from the British Empire" was the subject of a speech given by W. D. Mullen of Oxford University, at a meeting of the Harvard Socialist Club yesterday afternoon. He stated that the chief lesson that the American Socialists and Liberals can learn from the experience of the British Labor Party is that they should put no faith in vague liberalism. He advised the Americans to concentrate upon building an able party.
The Englishman believes that the Socialist party is stronger now than the Labor party was at the beginning. As the Americans are accustomed to quick and radical changes, he feels that it will take but a short time for Socialism to progress in this country.
When he took up a discussion of the depression, Mullen stated his belief that Capitalism has only one way out at the present time, that being war. Norman Thomas, in his point of view, has the only program to end the depression.
