return. Their only success lies where
they eliminate waste either in produc-
ton or distribution-and they can do
neither if they destroy individual init
alive. Indeed this phase of develop
ment of our individualism promises to
become the dominant note of It's TWEEN
tieth century expansion. But it will
thrive only in so far as 1t can con-
struct leadership and sense of serv-
ice, and so long as it preserves the In
itfative and safeguards the individual
ity Of its members.
The economic system which is the
result Of our individualism is not a
frozen organism. 1t moves rapidly in
Its form of organization under the i'm
pulse Of initiative Of our citizens, of
growing science, of larger production,
and Of constantly cheapening distribu
ton.
A great test of the soundness of
social system must be its ability to
evolve within itself those orderly shifts
in its administration that enable it to
apply the new tools of social, economic,
and intellectual progress, and to elimi-
nate the malign forces that may grow
In the application Of these tools. When
we were almost wholly an agricultural
people our form of organization and
administration, both in the govern
mental and economic fields, could be
simple. With the enormous shift In
growth to industry and commerce we
have erected organisms that each gene
ration has denounced as Franken-
stems, yet the succeeding generation
proves them to be controllable and
useful. The growth Of corporate or
CARNATIONS, Of our banking systems, Of
our railways. Of our electrical power,
of our farm co-operatives, Of our trade
unions, Of our trade associations, and
Of hundred others indeed develops
both benef1cent and malign forces. The
timid become frightened. But our
basic social ideas march through the
new things In the end Our dema-
gogues, Of both radical and standpat
breed. thrive on demands for the de-
struction Of one or another OF these
organizations as the only solution for
their defects, yet progress requires
only guardianship Of the vital princi-
pies Of our individualism with Its safe
guard of true equality Of opportunity
In them.

reached to warn Chancellor Cuno
