In its broadeSt statement the prob
lem Of the worlds economy is to de-
velop and give scope Of individual orig
inality, the benefits Of whose exercise
are registered in individual character
as well as in objective results. The
English economist, Marshall, however,
declares that one-half Of the power Of
human initiative Is suppressed by the
present social order, and 1t Is not Diff
cult to accept the statement. The hap
py instances where individuals manipu-
late circumstances SO as to bring out
striking results are rendered the more
conspicuous by the number Of other in
dividuak who entirely fail not only Of
such achievement but Of anything COM
parable thereto. And yet it is known
that these others grade only somewhat
below the first In capacity. OF all the
stupendOus waste exhibited In the

haps the most tragic in character and
consequences. Yet it is enacted unob-
