Hoover Says in
New Book.
New York. Dec. li.—Americans
ran make :-ure of progress along the
road to human perfection by preserv
ing and stimulating their initiative and
glorifying service as a part of the
national character, rays Herbert
Hoover, secretary of commerce. In his
book summarizing "American Individ
ualism." just off the press.
Experience in the backwash and
misery of the war, he says, has
strengthened his faith in American
individualism, for America has been
steadily developing the ideals that
constitute progressive individualism.
"Americans." be writes, "are not
fooled into the pretense that all men
are equal in ability, character, intel
ligence and ambition. That was part
of the claptrap of the French revolu
tion.
"If denwraev Is to secure its
authorities in morals, religion and
statesmanship, it must stimulate
leadership of its own masses.”
"Leadership." Mr. Hoover says,
“cannot, no matter how brilliant,
carry progress far ahead of the aver
age of the mass of individual units.”
Asserting that the economic develop
ment of the last half century has lift
ed the general standard of comfort
far higher the nthe loftiest dreams of
our forefathers, he says, "the only
load to further advancement is great
er invention, greater elimination of
waste, greater production and better
distribution of commodities and serv
ices for, by Increasing their ratio to
our numbers and dividing them justly,
we will each have more of them."
