Legislator Says
Ideals of Success
Are Changing.

TINE idea that success can be
measured only In terms Of the
ability to acquire wealth Is
a undergoing q change, Repre-
sentative Bruce Barton OF New York
told members of the Congressional
Club yesterday afternoon at the Friday
tea, adding that he believed the era
OF great fortunes was over.
Mr. Barton said he foresaw a more
equitable distribution of wealth with
greater emphasis on services, investi-
CATION and studies. In support of his
contention that wealth was not the
nnal measure of success. he cited
H. G. Wells list Of the six greatest
men in history. saying 1t was signifi-
cant that none Of them had been great
warriors or men Of outstanding wealth,
but persons who had rendered valuable
services and whose ideas had wide
spread influence.
Reviewing briefly, the Revolt Of the
Masses" by Ortegay Gasset, he pointed
out that progress in education and
health and the belief in the rights of
man had brought the masses into
power in European countries and that
they were ruling without any back
ground of governmental responsibility.
He urged cooperation between gov
eminent, labor. agriculture and in
dustry and the utilization Of the abil-
ties OF each of these groups as a solu-
ton OF present day economic prob
lens.
