american business men are the
greatest b siness men in the world
and have made America the great
est business nation in the world.
They are accumulating in America
the wealth of the world, and they
are employing their wealth in q
way which excites the admiration
of the world.
"Some of our business men, like
Rockefeller, are endowing univer-
sites for the advancement of learn
ing and supporting institutions of
medical and surgical experiment
for the benefit of our own people
and of all mankind.
"Others of our business men.
like Carnegie, are endowing librar-
les for the dissemination of uniyers-
al knowledge and maintaining OBJ
servatories and other scientific
establishments for the extension of
scientific research and the develop
ment Of scientific pursuits.
''Other again, like Morgan, are
are assembling in America the art
and library treasures of the world
for the development of our tastes
and perceptions, and for the higher
culture OF our people in the refine
ments and intellectual enjoyments
of life.
"Our business men have been
able to do all this without Mr..
Wilson's guidance, and in spite of
his poor opinion of them it is Just
possible that under the guidance of
college professors these ignorant
and 'provinciaP business men of
ours might not have accomplished
as much for themselves and their
country as they did when left to
their own resources.
"Mr. Wilson's dogmatic and
dida< g declarations have all the
Pc -aess of the redagogue who
has theories on everything and ex-
perience in nothing. His is the
customary attitude of the collage
professor who knows everything,
having read it in books, where it
was written down by other college
professors with equally infallible
knowledge based on equally uni
versal inexperience.
cit is an interesting thing to see
a college professor lecturing practi-
cal business men on the practical
problems of business from the musty
rooms of one of the colleges which
the practical success of these busi-
ness men had enabled them to
endow.
"I do not wonder that English
men are interested in this phase of
American politics, but l think that
the sound sense of American citi-
zens will prevent any foreign
country being unduly benefited at
our expense by the hasty applica-
ton of the undigested theories of
some of our well-meaning, but in
experienced, statesmen"

Hearst's statement to the news
