bus, whose labors touched not only the
advancement Of knowledge but the diff
fusion Of patriotic and unsehsh ap-
probation of national service.
In the endcavor to aid those agencies
in the body polite that are most fruit
full in the increase and diffusion Of
knowledge the trustees OF the corpora
tion have naturally been led to inquire
as TO the fields in which such knowl-
edge is most needed.
4 Field to CUifiunfc
It has been made clear to them from
many sources that in no field Of ma
tiona interest is there greater need,
both for accurate knowledge of the
facts and for wider diffusion of that
knowledge, than in the field Of what
has come TO be called economies
The knowledge Of industrial and finan-
cal facts, comprehension of those
principles whose action determines in
dustria prosperity and contentment,
the need TO realize that no legislation
can take the place of sound economic c
acton-all these relate to a field in
which knowledge has been confused
and in which there is need to-day of
clear apprehension and sound apprccia-
ton.
Furthermore. it is clear, from the
long examination that has been made
by the trustees, that in the field OF
economics there is quite as much need
for the diffusion of knowledge a s for
the asccrtainment Of economic truth.
First to obtain the facts and then to
distribute them in such measure as to
make them comprehended by the mass
of intelligent citizens is one of the
most pressing needs of our day and
generation.
Furthermore, under the operation of
the widespread industrial development
Of our day, the economic factors which
determine the prosperity of citizen
of the United States arc oftentimes in
terwoven with the influences arising
from lnQuSCIldl. financial aHu cCOHOiulC
situations in other countries. No long
cr is the industrial life Of a nation
isolated from the world.
To ascertain the facts of thi. indus
trial life so clearly that no one can
dispute them and then to make these
facts available to all intelligent citi-
7ens offers a field for the increase and
diffusion of knowledge such as perhaps
can BE found in no other practical field
! of human endeavor.
The ascertainment Of the facts Is
being prosecuted by many agencies
The universities and colleges have de-
partments of research. Special agen
cies. such as the National Bureau OF
Economic Research, are patiently
bringing to hight the exact facts con
cernng those questions which ente1
into the industry, the finance and th'
business of every nation. The govern

tablishcd which could not only ascor-
tain but bring home TO the conscious
ness Of the American people these
homcly, sincere economic facts. that
the Carnegie Corporation agreed to set
aside definite sum Of money for tho
period of ten years for the partial sup
port Of such an agency This trust
has bccn accepted by a group Of dis
tinguishej, earnest and sincere men. a
group which represents no faction and
no special interest in tho body polite,
but which seeks, first Of all. to stand
for the truth secondly to ascertain
that truth rs clearly and fully as pos
slblc, and in the third place to make
the truth so ascertaincd available to
All the citizens of the Republic. In
dong this they will not only furnish
to those who are in search of such
exact knowledge the facts at their dis
possi, but they Will endeavor in re
sponse to inquiries TO ascertain and
to make available the facts concerning
those economic and industrial questions
on which the public of the United
States desires information.
Getting al the Truth
In committing this trust to the group
Of trustees who have undertaken tho
management of the institute, the Car
negie Corporation has no control what
Soever over their operations and meth
ods or the results at which thew NAV
arrive 1t has asked simply the oh
servance of two conditions First, that
the work Of the institute shall be CON
Quoted with the sole object Of asccr-
tanning the facts, and secondly, that
when the facts arc ascertsined they
shall be made public IN form so di-
rect, so simple and so understandable
that the busy man, whether he labor
, day by day with his hands. or whether
he be paid a salary for administration,
or whether he be engaged in the man
agement of capital, shall be able to
apprehcnd and to make use of the
results of their work
Finally, the corporation asks that the
institute shall be administered bv its
trustees without regard to the special
interests OF any group in the body poll
TIC, whether political, social or eco
nomic. but solely in the interest OF
truth which cannot fail to be in the
interest Of the whole people In a de-
m ocracN We must believe that tho
! truth Will in the end make its way if
once ascertained and clearly stated. If
1t cannot. the permanency of a dcmoc-
racy is doubtful.

In Institute of Economics

Some days since public announce
mcnt was made Of the establishment
at Washington Of an institution called
tho Institution of Economics. The
nublic takes keen interest to-day IN
economic questions A few words may
therefore be given to statement as
TO how this new agency has come to
exist and what its purpose is.
The Institute Of Economics has come
into existence. first through the ad-
vice and experience OF large number
Of men interested in economic Ques-
tions. and secondly through the CO.
oncration Of the Carnegie Corporation
Of New York. which has furnished the
means for its support for period OF
ten wears.
4ndrc,c Cnrncgie's Purpose
The Carnegie Corporation is one OF
the foundations created by MIR. Car
ncgic during his lifetime. Most OF
those foundations have been cstab-
Ished to deal with specific problems
or to work in specific fields, such az
education, medical research, public
health and the like. In the Carnegie
Cornoratjon, to which Mr.. Carnegie in
his lifetime gave An endowment OF
s1o5 900 900, another conception was
embodied. Under the purpose OF the
founder. as expressed in the charter,
.le income of this foundation was TO
be devoted for all time TO the ad-
yancement and diffusion of knowledge
and understanding among the people
of the United Statcs.' This the cor
,orst;on was TO effect, according to
his direction. not by itself conducting
Investigations. or publishing treatses,
ar operating institutions, but by en-
atl;nc other agencies in tho social
order which worked for the increase
and diffusion Of knowledge to accom-
plish these ends.
The thought of the founder was that
here was provided source OF moral
and intellectual energy for all time.
If the trustees Of one generation
should use this income for mediocre
PURPOSES, the trustees Of the next gen
GRAFTON would have in their hands the
same potentiality for the advancement
and diffusion of knowledge among the
people Of the United States OF their
time. He hoped in this way to provide
for III time source whence, through
the wise and thoughtful action of the
trustees. there should come, generation
after generation. stream of energy to
aid those agencies, wisely chosen by
the trustees, which made for the pro
motion of education among the people
of the United States and Canada.
In the endeavor to carry out TINS
purpose the trustees of the corpora
ton have devoted the income of this
great endowment to the assistance OF
many agences-colleges universities
research institutions, and, during the
var, to great organizations such as the

To the Editor:

To tie Editor:
IT seems to me about time
l. some protest should be
made against the attitude Of Mr..
w II. Hearst and few others
Of Americas (U. s. very worst
citizens in forever decrying this
country OF England.
Mr.. Hearst for some motive,
perhaps best known to himself,
has never been oX friend, and
since the war he has. according
TO extracts of his writings re.
Ceived here. always sought to
make out that we are little
better than pariahs; that in all
our goings we are actuated by
some selfish motive; to gain our
ends we stop at no despotic
methods, and in these we are
tyrants.
Such in brief is Mr.. Hearsr's
gospel Of hate. We can, how.
ever, survive it, him and his
like. but there are many in this
country who are tired Of the
demands, boastful claims and
the arrogance OF many Ameri.
