Noted Writer to Crusade
For His Ideals of
World Unity.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

H q. Wells has come to Washing
ton to report the conference on limita-
ton of ornaments and on his arrival
has given out an interview rejecting
his ideas on what Is going to happen
here. Mr.. Wells ideas of what ought
to be the outcome Of the conference
and what, In his expectation, ID going
to be the outcome, are so different
from what is planned by those who
have official control Of the conference
that the contrast affords an oppor-
tunity to make some things clear.
1t Is Just possible that something
approximating what Mr.. Wells antfci-
pates may happen. Mr.. Wells ideas
are in the field Of very advanced al
truism, and there Is throughout Ameri-
ca an amount Of uncoordinated spir-
ituality which is constantly increasing
and which, II Mr.. Wells should succeed
In focusing 1t, might produce some
surprising results beyond what b con-
templated by Mr.. Harding. Mr.. Hughes,
and all the others who are to CON-
pose the conference.
To Give Views.
OF course, Mr.. Wells Is not really
going to report" the conferences. II
would be q most uneconomical use Of
genius for him to do so. Mr.. Wells
has q set Of ideas about the future
relations Of the nations with one an
other which he believes in with exalted
ardor. He has also body Of readers
which composes a following probably
larger than Il possessed by any other
English Of American writer. Obvious

use the conference as a pulpit from
which 70 preach these ideas. In this
role the presence Of H. q. Wells out
side the conference door IL fully as

II is. Of course, dificult to COM

from the world of literature, with
the members of the conference,
who come from the world Of

Mr.. Wells Is a bigger man than
nine-tenths of the members Of the
conference combined.

ably 20 to Mr.. Wells shop before
he would go to the shop Of any
one Of the delegates, or, perhaps,
OF all Of them combined. II you
wanted to be told what sort OF
world this Is going to be, let US
say, in the year 1000, you would
take Mr.. Wells prophetic vision as
far. more dependable than that Of
Mr.. Harding, or Mr.. Hughes, or Mr..
Root, or all the American delega-
ton combined. This is meant lit
orally and not fguratively. Any
person familiar with what Mr..
Wells has done at various times In
the last twenty-five years will un-

ing English and of training teachers
for this specific field. analyses leg
islative efforts and achievements and
discusses the question Of training in
citizenship as. distinct from mere
teaching Of civics. He summarizes: ::
American Delusions
"We make the mistake of thinking
that the problem of citizenship for
the foreign born is essentially diff
ferent from that of the native born.
whereas the two are fundamentally
the same. The native born, who are
carrying the burden Of national uni
fication, must rid themselves of the
two kinds of obsession before they
will be spiritually fit to undertake
the task Of securing the whole-souled
loyalty and cooperation Of the for
eign born. These delusions are, first
that native Americans constitute a
superior race when compared to the
foreign born, and s.-ond, that oul
institutions and aspirations are
peculiar and distinctive to our own
people and country.
"a progressive stage of civiliza-
tion is characterized by the
capacity of it's citizens to recognize
both the shortcomings of their owr
group and the virtues of other ma.
tionalities.
National unification is not q
matter of conversion from lower

An Outstanding Lesson

Such a dynamic, evolutionary con-
ception of Americanism and Ameri-
canization, Mr. Burns continued, is
incompatible with tendencies that
aim at national integration by mere
suppression of Old World heritages
and insistence on conformity to an
established set Of standards. One
OF the outstanding lessons of the
present inquiry admonishes utterly
to reject such suppressionist and
conformist methods and tendencies.
"The ten volumes of our Ameri-
canization study state these main
conclusions in specific terms of their
particular field and furnish the di-
gested evidence upon which they are
based," Mr.. Burns concluded. "In
the eleventh volume l am summarize
ing the whole for the benefit of the
general reader"
In America via the Neighborhood
John Daniels formulates the idea de-
fined above by Mr.. Burns by saying
that Americanization is democratic
participation in American life
"Thus conceived" Mr.. Daniels con-
tinues, characterization is not some
thing which corresponds with the
molding of clay into a certain static
form. On the contrary, it models
the life of America into forms ever
new and more adequate. 1t is dy-
manic. 1t is not simply imita-
tive. 1t is creative"
The logical sequel of such concep.
tion of Americanization is that it is
not only the foreign born, but also
the native, who stands in need of it
"Americanization thus under.
Stood" Mr.. Daniels proceeds, 'can.
not be restricted to the foreign born
1t applies to every one. There are
no exceptions. There is no one who
can say with truth: My own Amer
icanism is now fully achieved. In M
