A publisher whose paper had done everything he and his editors could thinls of to defeat Mr. Roosevelt in November told a correspondent that personally he was for most of Mr. Roosevelt's innova- tions, that the result of the election was not too distasteful to him —— personally, mind you! t “Well, then,” the correspondent start- ed, “with your convictions, why——' He got no further. “Hell, man!” the publisher shouted, “I haven't got convictions.

Its flaming title shov the magazine vendors busy refilling their empty racks f bound to catch the eye of the prurient minded in their see literary satisfaction. While at first these may be disappointed in not find juicy morsels the title leads them to anticipate, if they r their disappointment will be transformed into absorbing due to the startling and factual material it contains. The book is obyiowsly based on Engel’s “The Origin ings. therein contained te the contemporary moral sce deals with three devastating scourges of modern life ar ramifications, the sex problem, the problem of alcohol and juvenile delinquency. : He draws a yivid picture of conditions in these three tions in the capitalist democracies and Czarist Russia a: shifts to an equally vivid and illuminating picture, whic startling contrast, of conditions as they now exist in Soviet where these problems have been solved. : e.

Wi drastic and cruel war conditions to contend with, the Soviei by contrast, has solved these problems. Prostitution h eliminated from their social life; divorce is decreasing ai while family life is being integrated and cherished as a gre: venereal disease has almost been wiped out and is practica existent in the Red Army; while there is no restrictions sale or use of alcohol, the problem of alcoholism has ce exist; the problem of juvenile delinquency has been sol: is under complete control. ; A high regard for woman, who is now on an equal le man in every respect, has been inculeated in the mind and of the male and the entire moral outlook is on a high le finitely higher than our own. BH ; TOOK PROFIT FROM SIN : | { SEES is a marked difference between the capitalist of Canada and the socialist system of Russia. There i marked difference between their moral transformation and | ment under the Soviets and our floundering in hopeless | when faced with these same problems. | Can it be that there is some relationship between the system and the solution of the problems of their moral between our social system and our futility, in spite of all! < and the progress capitalism has made over feudalism, whe to solve these same problems? Dyson Garter thinks th. is. There can be no basie solution to the moral problem 2 Carter conceives the meaning of the term, im a social where profit is the prime motive. Russia by adopting a socialist system took the profi sin and when they attacked these problems in a scient planned way. they vanished almost: automatically. Which is not to say that something cannot be don tifically, under capitalism: but not capitalism as we have | to date. Says Mr. Carter: “The great majority of people believe that capitalism, and restricted, is still superior to any other system; they lieve that our profit system will stand or fall in the years according t) its success or failure in providing abundant we | shelter, clothing and health for all. “This is the challenge of economics. It now engages tention of all serious persons. But the critical necessit: constructing our democracy on the basis of full and pe’ employment for everyone who wants te work — espec every woman, every girl, every youth — this absolute 7 is rarely seen as the MORAL hope of capitalism. “But it is. All religious and political’ questions as Soviet Union has demonstrated on a vast scale this scienti the salvation of the people in modern society —— their) from mass immorality such as organized vice, sex proi abortion, juvenile crime, family disruption and addiction to practical fredom from these evils can be achieved lar means of eliminating unemployment and poverty, plus a. program of exterminating all profits derived from immora SIN IS REACTION AS a Christian priest, [ have come to the conviction thi ever the role is the church should play in human lif; only frustrated in her work under a capitalist profit sy economy and can only begin her real work when she can in a socialist system of living. I have also reached the oe that sin is reaction, that is going back to or upholding a or condition beyond which we have grown, whether that } field of intellect, morals, polities or economics. : There is no space to enter upon the intriguing met Soviets adopted to achieve these ends. Dyson ao tion makes fascinating reading. If you are interested in t problems of our times and you are in despair over the slo: look, after reading this book you may raise your head in h for you will at least see that there is a way out. If the can do it, we can do it. Even under capitalism, much accomplished. If Sin and Science does nothing else, it least make you think. Get the book and read and enjo I can at least promise that you will find it stimulatins, ni thrilling, reading. :
