INORMATION APPLY A WENTWORTH 12 Court St or A CARROLL SS9 Main St Springfield That They Are Not Essentially An tagonistic Maintained by a Well Known Socialist John Spargo in his new book Socialism and (Huebsch $1) gives a characteris tically thorough and painstaking anal ysis of the history and principles of a relationship which has long been a subject of much earnest controversy His position is well known as that of a recognized spokesman for the social ist party and his declaration that ac ceptance of orthodox socialism and of religious faith are not inconsistent is in itself a practical answer in part to those who deny the contention How ever he does not by any means claim such weight for his opinion in itself but sets forth in impressive array the facts upon which his opinion is based That he meets the question squarely is evident from this definition of re ligion which he reaches after an inter esting review of the conceptions of religion held by many religious lead ers philosophers and critics of va rious countries and times: be lief in and worship of a supreme pur posive power (or powers) called God (or gods) and the regulation of his life according to what he believes to be the pleasure or desire or the com mands of the God (or gods) wor The basic principles of Marxian so cialism the author points out are the so called conception of the economic doctrine of sur plus value and the theory of class struggles three interrelated ideas The materialistic conception of history he shows should not be confused with the very different thing philosophical materialism The former takes man and the universe for granted the lat ter attempts to account for them Modern religious thought conceives of God as ruling the universe by law The materialistic conception of his tory or tho doctrine of de is a theory of the working of social law Its acceptance does not necessarily lead to socialism: indeed many nonsocialists hold the theory in a more literal and extreme interpreta tion than do many socialists Among such extreme believers are men promi nent in religious leadership Some socialist writers indeed believing in both economic determinism and philo sophic materialism have confused the two or this confusion socialism is not responsible Mr Spargo thus de fines or describes materi which is still another name for the fundamental Marxian doc trine: Historical materialism is the theory or doctrine that the methods of Product ion distribution and exchange and a I the in stitutions and social relations which these Involve together with such physical fac tors as race climate geographical posi tion and fertility of soil the economic environment which Is the pre dominant factor in social evolution As the basis of the entire superstructure of society this economic environment is the principal but not the nant force In the evolution of political in stitutlons laws ethics philosophy es thetics nnd even of religions conceptions Hut in accordance with the (treat law ot natural causality that every effect is the reKUiLWUL 91 vaxavwo and not of any one single cause aua mat ererv effect becomes in turn a cause ot other penomena it is a necessary part of the theory that the various results of the economic environment in the form or political institutions laws ethical codes philosophical theories esthetic ideas re ligious views and so on become active causes reacting upon one another ana upon the economic environment which pro duced them functioning as codeterminants of social evolution Because these co determinants can only function within the limits of the economic environment and are therefore subject to it: they must be regarded as secondary and subordinate factors Mr Spargo notes the fact that the birth of Marxian socialism was close ly contemporary with the promulga tion of theory of evolution and also occurred at a time when re ligious faith was at a comparatively low ebb On the other hand he calls attention to the fact that official ut terances of socialist organizations as based on teachings have re peatedly and almost uniformly dis claimed a belief in the inconsistency of religion and socialism He also points to the fact that many devout adherents of religious faith have been among the leaders of organized so cialism He concludes that of the atheism that one encounters in the socialist movement to day is a sur vival it is directed against a con ception of God that is antiquated and crude It really has little relation to the best theological thought of to However he agrees that there Is still much hostility to the churches because churches and syragogs have been dominated by the interests of the possessing class the class against which socialism as the move ment of the proletariat must strug While he regards this hostility as natural he believes that if the so cialist movement is to succeed it must enlist the embraced protest against religious i 'U a fnirc "La a3 i io'ArAiic a a Liy
