THe $0 SOCIAL CONSCIENCE NSCENCE TIONS FOR OUR READERS} THE PEOPLE NEEDS TO BE AWAKENED, Women's Canadian Club on construction Miss Helen Reid ir ! the Women's , Wednesday ation Hall, nd Social Service Miss Re id Was introduced by Mrs. H. A. Lavell, president, who described her as one of Canada's outstanding. women. Miss Reid dealt most exhaustiveiy with social conditions as they exist | in the world to-day; their relation- ship to the revolutionary tenden- cies of the people lately engaged in the great world war, and the moral and economie condition of people the pursuit of material gain, with the consequent development of anti social traits that bave acceleratsa the drift toward soclalism. Indus- try should be conducted for the benefit of humanity and not hu- manity for industry, said Miss Reid Germany's materialism, despite her was the rock upon whieh she split. The greatest danger in in which we stood was not in the possibility of a German victory, so much as in the condition of our own hearts and minds The speaker then showed that Lhe great need of the hours is the awak- ening of a social conscience in tue people in order that we might re- cognize and assume the responsi- bilities about us. Only in this wa) could democracy be made safe. One great compensation _for the sacri- fices of the war was the proof of the vale of co-operation, and it was necessary for us to extend this into social and industrial affairs. The public control of railways, steam- ships, mines, etc., was not revolu- tion, but reconstruction in which capitalists and workers should form a part She saw in present condi- tions a race between revolution and reconstruction; 'and peace, progress, health and work depended upon the energetic adoption of measures cal- culated to overcome the evils that afflict society. Two matters that called for ef- fective action were public health and sanitary housing. The military medical boards showed the existence of diseases and physical defeets that could have been remedied in early life. Canada lost 60,000 mon in the war, but the Infant mortality was estimated at a far higher fig- ure during the same period. In the United States there were 2,- 000,000 people suffering from tuber- culosis, and while that country lost 53,000 men in the war the number of children who died during - the same period was 403,000. The pro- valence of tuberculosis in France as revealed by tHe war bas Inspired an international Red Cross conference which is to be held at Geneva thirty days after peace is concluded. This will result in the formation of or- ganizations that will care for mil- lions of people formerly neglected. The present distress in the world was a great obstacle to thé conclu- si of a satisfactory peace, The , of Montreal, Canadian | evening, in Con- "Reconstruc | i | | | | | | | | | Club lv | on socialism, i speaker pointed out the great dang- er to Canada in non-selective immi- gration, and quoted statistics show- ing that a large per cent. of the in- mates of our jails, prisons and asy- lums are foreign-born. Factory hours, conditions of labor and pay were matters to be considered under pubhe health and housing. There should be an ade- quate .wage to maintain a proper home. Industrial centres breed slums, slums breed vice and dis- ease. In the modern housing scheme designed to improve life, the house should have six rooms of good size, and there should not be more than twelve houses to the acre. Play grounds should be provided 'tor children, and moving pictures and clubs for both children and adults. Miss Reid told of great improve- ments that are being planned in some Canadian cities. In a word, social service wag only citizenship. At the conclusion of 'her address, Miss Reid answered a number of questions asked by members of the club, and in reply to the question of the importance of a gymnasium at the Y.W.C.A. she said that it was of great value in promoting the health and" physical development of young ladies and told of what was being done in Montreal, where a swim- ming tank forms part of the gym., and the girls learn to swim. Miss Mowat moved a hearty vote of thanks to the speaker and paid ber a warm compliment upon her excellent address, RETURNED SOLDIERS" UONCERT.

LINE OF HUNGARY 18 REPORTED MOVED The Political Frontier to Be Modified, According to a Copenhagen Despatch. Copenhagen, March 27.--A des- patch from Budapest yesterday re- ported that the allics hgd notified the Hungarian Government that they had changed their decision and the line of demarcation established at the time of the armistice Will not be Hungary's political frontier. One of the reasons assigned for Hungary's recent change in Govern- ment was the belief that the allies intended to pare down Hungary to provide territorial prize for Rou- mania, Serbia, Poland, we@pcheo- Slovakia. If the Budapest report is troe, the aldes have made an im- portant concession to Hungary. A DANGEROUS PRACTICE. Automobile Truck Passed Standing Street Car--Fine Was Imposed.
