Speaker lauds Wilson at community forum and warns of weakness
William English Walling, secretary of the Social Democratic League of America, told a large audience at the United Church forum that Wilson's strong phrases unite the masses but his calculated wording is a serious weakness. He argued Wilson pursues world organization and the League of Nations, while noting socialist opposition in Europe and revolutions in Russia Finland and Germany. The talk drew many questions from Russians and local students before Walling noted the international socialists behind Europe’s stance. John Jridea was later arrested on a charge of assault after allegedly striking George Moresko.
