The very emphatic statements and suggesting made by Mr. Scott Nearing at his Liberal Club address yesterday have already evoked a great deal of comment both among the undergraduate and graduate members of the University. J. M. Landis GL, research Fellow in Law, who has spent two years studying law in Russia when interviewed last night, took particular exception to Mr. Nearing's contention that a social revolution is the only solution of her difficulties left open to Germany.

"A social revolution such as occurred a Russia," he said, "would certainly be so panacea for Germany today. I entirely agree with Mr. Nearing that German should be allowed to repudiate her war debts but a social revolution would destroy, temporarily at least, whatever economic stability she has or may attain.

"The trouble with the Dawes Plan," he continued, for any other plan for the same purpose, is that it is constructed on a false basis of justice. The allied nations should realize that all the countries involved in the war are in the same stage of disruption and that the only solution is mutual help and not an attempt to extract debts, which can never be collected. Repudiation of debt, however, does not necessitate a revolution, and such a revolution would be the worst thing possible at the present time."

As to the working of the socialistic government in Russia, however, Landis seemed more optimistic. "It is probable the greatest experiment that has been tried in history," he said, "and at the present time is making gradual but sure progress towards its ultimate goal. During the time that I spent in Russia I noticed a remarkable degree of satisfaction among the people and optimism as to the future of the government. The trouble is that at the present time the situation has reverted to the opposite extreme from before the war. The proletariats are as much the lords of Russia as the nobles were before 1917, and they are enjoying practically the same privileges. Children of workingmen receive a free education in the colleges, while those of the bourgeoisie are for the most part barred; workingmen are given the best seats in the theatres at even lower rates than the upper classes must pay; in almost every phase of life the laborer is now made to feel that he represents the ruling class of the country."
