Dr. Bruce C. Hopper, lecturer on International Relations at Harvard University, will give the second of his series of public lectures at the Lowell Institute of Boston, tomorrow. Dr., Hopper, who was the representative in Russia of the Institute of Current World Affairs during the years 1926-29, gave his first lecture last Tuesday, January 6, entitled. "Soviet Russia after 13 Years."
In the lecture he emphasized the point that the question of communism versus capitalism will be fought out neither in Europe nor in America, but in "the fluid East, our greatest potential market." He went on to discuss the economic contrast between the United States and the European nations, describing it as a contrast in standards of living, in which the higher standards set in America make for greater economic soundness.

"The Political Side of the Problem: the state, the communist party, the soviet government"; on Friday, January 16.
