Nothing has served to demonstrate
this theory so well as the sensa-

David Belasco's direction. and the
equally sensational success scored
in the silent drama by Miss Olive

Olive Thomas has created moth

America Must Now Help
Our Duty to Assist in Re-
storing Prc-War Condi-
tions, He Tells Engineers

Europe realizes that until recently
it was becoming bankrupt through ex-
pcrimcnts in socialism, and although 1t
is now on the road to economic re-
covery its productivity is still far
below the level necessary to MAINTAIN
its peoples"
Herbert Hoover, former Food Admin
istrator, at a dinner given in his honor
at the Waldorf Astoria last night, thus
described the economic situation in
Europe. MIR. Hoover said socalistic
experiments, adopted as relief from
the stress of war, were everywhere
breaking up. ana that the duty rests
restoring pre-war conditions.
The eleven hundred engineers and
guests present ohcered loudly when
Nv Saunders referred to Mr.. Hoover
as a Presidential possibly.
"Why not" he asked, "place an en-
glnecr at the holm of the ship of
state ?"
Called an idealist
A testimonial from members of the
society was presented to Mr.. Hoover,
in which he is described as "an idealist
who was able to visualize the altruism
of America and save from hunger and
anarchy vast areas of Europe"
Among those attending were Melville
F. Stone, John Hays Hammond. John
d. Ryan, Oscar s. Straus, 0. 2. Perry,
Morris v Winchel, Thomas W. La
mont, Ebert II. Gary, General George
". Goethals, DR.. John H. Finley and
a. G., Bedford.
Mr.. Hoover spoke before the mem
bers Of the American Institute of Min
ing and Mctalurgical Engineers. He
was introduced by William l.. Saunders,
the toastmaster, as having played q
part in the war cas- conspicuous as
that of any general"
Mr. Hoover said that his experiences
in Europe brought him two convictions
The first" he said, comes from
contact with stupendous social fer
ment and revolution in which Europe
is attempting to find n solution for all
its social ills by practical experiments
in socialism.

I'VE could take another example OF
Bolshcvism in the efforts of Bella Kun
and his colleagues in Budapest. a.
distinction between this situation ana
Russia is that they were dealing with
a population of much higher intelli-
gence, of much higher average educa-
ton, and it required but three months
for the working people Of Budapest
to realize the fearful abyss into which
they had been plunged, 1t was solely
due to the efforts of the trade unions
in Budapest that the Bolsheyiki were
thrown out of Hungary.
Leaders Begin to See
'I am convinced that the greatest
proportion of European leaders of So
cialism to-day to some extent realize
its bankruptcy and are to-day cndeav-
oring TO cover retreat with loud
complaints as to the failure from other
causes. Nevertheless, this realization
is bringing the turn of the tide, and
through it Europe is on the road to
economic recovery-if she gets peace
"The whole of these various sorts of
Socialism are based on one primary
conception, and that is that the pro-
ductivity Of the human being can be
maintained under the impulse of al
truism and that the selection Of the
particular human for his most product
i've performance can be made by some
supcrmposed bureaucracy. Their
weakness is the disregard of the nor
NAL day day primary impulse OF the
human animal, that is, self-interest for
himself or his family and home, with
certain addition of altruism. varying
with his racial instinct and his degree
of intelligence. They fail to take into
account, also, that there is but one
sufficiently selective agent for human
abilities in that infinite specialization
Of mind and body necessary to main
tain the output of the intricate ma
chncry Of production, and that is the
primary school OF competition.
Socialism Already Bankrupt
"My conclusion from all these obser-
vations is, therefore, what Socialism as
philosophy of possible human appli-
cation has already bankrupted itself.
"Athough Socialism has now proved
itself with rivers Of blood and suffer
ing to be an economic and spiritual
fallacy and to have wrecked itself on

"My second conviction is older, but
has been greatly hardened, and that
is a greater appreciation of the enorm-
Gus distance that we of America have
grown away from Europe in the cen
tury and half of our national exist
ence, in our outlook on life, our rela-
tions toward our ncighbors and our
social and political ideals. The supreme
Importance Of this Americanism neither
permits us to allow the use OF this
community for experiment in social
diseases, nor does 1t permit us to
abandon the moral leadership we have
undertaken Of restoring order in the
world"
Since the armstice, Mr.. Hoover said

people Of the world

Europe have long been cropping for a
method of nearer equality of opportu-

Results of Bolshcvism
"Two-t thirds of the railways anC
three -fourths OF the rolling stock that
they control are out of operation. The
whole population is without any norma

most grievous famine of centuries. Its
people are dying at the rate of hun

starvation and disease. Its capital city
has diminished from a population from
nearly 1000 900 to less than 600 900. The
streets of every city and village have rur

these executions been confined to the
so-called middle and upper classes, fol
latterly the opposition of the workmer
