Ickes, Forum Council President The second season of the Chicago Forum will open Sunday afternoon, October 31, Harold L. Ickes of Hub- bard Woods, who is the president of the Chicago Forum council, an- nounces. The meetings this year will be held at the Erlanger theater (form- erly the Palace), at Clark and Ran- dolph streets. Fred A. Moore will con- tinue to preside and conduct the ques- tion period following the addresses of the speakers. The program will be featured by the discussion of current issues as well as several economic, political and other public questions. At the opening meeting on Octe- ber 31, the conflict between the state and church in Mexico will be discus- sed by Alva W. Taylor of Indianapolis, well known nationally as a leader in social work among the Protestant churches and a friend of President Calles of Mexico, and Charles Phillips, author and playwright, member of the faculty of Notre Dame university and an active Catholic layman, directly ac- quainted with conditions in Mexico. The meeting on November 14 will be a symposium by three prominent Chicagoans, whose names will be an- nounced shortly, on the question, "Is Politics a Curable Disease?" The speakers will be expected to give some constructive solutions to the problems of getting citizens to vote, to have more confidence in government and public officials, and to feel that American democracy is on the up grade instead of declining, as so many critics contend. Other speakers during the season will be Senator Robert M. LaFol- lette, Jr., of Wisconsin, John Haynes Holmes of New York, William Allen White of Kansas, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Kirby Page, Sidney Hillman, Harry Elmer Barnes, author of "The Genesis of the War," reviewing the new evidence on the war guilt ques- tion; Mordecai W. Johnson, the new and first negro president of Howard university in Washington, the largest neero cultural school in the country. Debates will be conducted on such questions as "Shall We Abandon the Direct Primary?." "Open Shop vs. Closed Shop," "Shall the U. S. Give Immediate Independence to the Philip- pines?," "Can Capitalism Be Made Safe for Democracy?," "Shall We Recister Aliens in America?" On the Sunday following Christmas the Forum will conduct its annual meeting devoted to promotion of tol- erance and social goodwill with Catholic, Jewish and Protestant speak- ers, and racial and national singing groups contributing folk songs.
