CHICAGO, December 30.--1ntoler-
ance sweeping the world today in
religion, education, economics, science
and government is the breeding
ground for Hypocrisy, moral coward
fee, hatred and fear, DIR. Charles A.
Ellwood of the University Of Mis-
souri, emphasized last night in his ad-
dress before the joint meeting of the
American Sociological Society, of
which he Is president; the American
Statistical Association and the
American Economics Association.
No student of social life, he assert
ed, will deny that there has been a
rapid growth Of intolerance in the
last two decades.
Quotes Views of Publisher.
Testimony of such men as
William Appleton, veteran publisher.
and Edward A. Fflene, Boston
merchant, proves that intolerance is
riding on a high tide.
DR.. Ellwood cited. without naming,
a secret order with membership said
to number into the millions, as de-
tailed evidence OF widespread in
tolerance.
This organization" he said, how
ever lofty it's pretensions, springs
from racial, religious and political
Intolerance and In every community
reeds Intolerance. Its very concep-
tion Is inconsistent with our tolerant
principles of government"
DIR. w. c. Mitchelrs Address.
DR.. Wesley c. Mitchell of Column
bia University, president of the Eco
nomic Association, talked on the val
ue of the business laboratory.
The new economics" he said, "has
come to the service OF the business
man. It's keynote is statistical meas
urement of everyday business facts
such as production. inventories. or
ders and prices expressed in bushels,
pounds, miles and dollars
DR.. Mitchell predicted that eco
nomics would not advance through
writing learned books, but. as in the
case of natural sciences. by painstak-
ing research. countless special studies
and the development of better meth
DDS OF statistical analysis.
World population to date has fallen
behind in the race with food and raw
material production, Prof. Don D.
Lescohier of the University of Wis
consin declared. The last century, he
said. tended to disprove the cardinal
principle of the theory of Malthus.
the tendency of population to increase
aster than the food supply.
But Nautilus was not wrong" he
continued. The nineteenth century
was an exceptional epoch in the
worlds history. It was characterized
by a condition which did not exist in
previous centuries and will not exist
in subsequent centuries--the opening
up of vast areas OF new land, easily
accessible and cheaply exploitable.
New lands must henceforth be
brought into cultivation under con-
tinually increasing costs"
Effects of Greater Population.
The growth of population in the
Americas has already decreased the
percentage of the national agricul-
tural output available for export.
especially In the United States. Pop
ulation, genetic and migrant, is COM
ing to our food.
Eventually, in my Judgment, much
the same standard of living will OBJ
tain throughout the world: much the
same ratio between population and
sustenance will exist in all countries:
wholesale migrations of populations
to foreign countries will be discon-
tinued and international shipments of
staple foods will be reduced to a min
imum."
