New York Banker ^ to Be Next Head of World C. of C. Election of Willie H. Booth as President of Internation al Organization to Be Mere Formality. Home, March 19.—C45)—The election | of Willis H. Booth, of New York, as the next president of the International Chamber of Commerce will be a mere formality at the plenary session of that organization next Sunday, ae < ording to a decision by the various delegations. The American banker has the support of the French. British and Italian delegates. The American delegates continued to play a preponderant part In the de liberations of the various groups. Ed ward Coffin secured the adoption of a resolution encouraging the develop ment of civil aviation by the govern ments, through subsidies or otherwise. He contended that aviation of this Kind would mean a greater develop ment of air machines because they would not lie restricted to types de signed for military purposes. The transport group recommended the abolition of passports and also re duction to a minimum of vise charges; the private operation of railroads was favored and the standardization of rolling stock. A resolution also was approved advocating reduction, as far as possible, of all customs formalities. The construction of a tunnelMnder the English channel, which it was thought would improve trans-European traf fic, was urged. The American delegation proposed a resolution, which was adopted by the transport group, impressing upon the governments the necessity of promot ing better public highways for motor traffic. The establishment of aerial routes and the system of aerial naviga tion with respect to international lights was recommended. The various resolutions will be . brought before the plenary session * Tuesday for final voting. New $50,000 Church Dedicated in Aurora Aurora, Neb., March 19.—(Special.) —With less than one-fourth of its | membership present, because of the blizzard, the Christian church dedicat » cd its new church building Sunday ■» night with Its indebtedness paid and ■ nearly enough additional subscrip tions to install a pips organ. For mors than 10 years, the congregation had been looking forward to the event. John Booth of St. Louis, secretary for the church extension board of the Christian church preached the dedicatory sermon and he declared that the new church is one of the most complete and one of the most beautiful churches in his brotherhood in the United States. The new church was erected on the basement in which the congregation jg has worshiped for 10 years. The corner stone of the basement was laid in 1912. The church will seat about 900 people and has additional rooms for art up-to-date Sunday school. The women's department has a, large, beautifully appointed room for its very own. Rev. C. C. Dobbs recently completed tbe eighth year of his pastorate. During his ministry, the congrega tion paid off a debt of $6,500 on the basement and now has paid the bal ance of a church plant, which cost approximately $50,000.

By HERBERT HOOVER. KwrrtArv of < ommen v. (Fditar's Note: Thin Is the second install ment of » series of slv Itj Mr. Iloorer on “American Individualism" which appear in The Omaha Morning Itee. The subject of tho following article is "Philosophic Ci round.*.. > On the philosophic side, we can agree at once that intelligence, char acter, courage, and the divine spark - of the human soul are alone ttie prop ! erty of individuals. These do not lie In agreements, in organizations. In in is’ltutions, in masses, or in groups. ; They abide alone in the individual , mind and heart. Production both of mind and hand rests upon impulses in each individual. These impulses are made of the va ried forces of original instincts, mo- j | tives and acquired tastes. Many of i these are destructive anil must be re j strained through moral leadership and j I authority of the law and he eliminat ed finally by education. All are mod ified by a vast fund of experience and a vast plant and equipment of civil izatlon which we pass on with incre ments to each succeeding generation. Dominant instincts Selfish. I The inherited instincts of self pres- , creation, acquisition, fear, kindness, hate, curiosity, desire for self-expres sion, for power, for adulation that we I carry over from a thousand of genera tions must, for good or evil, be com prehended In a workable system em bracing our accumulation of experi ences and equipment. They may mod ify themselves with time but in terms of generations. They differ in their urge upon different individuals. The dominant ones are selfish. But no civ- i ilization could be built or can endure | solely upon the groundwork of unre strained and unintelligent self-inter- i est. The problem of the world Is to restrain the destructive instincts while strengthening and enlarging those of altruistic character and con- i structive impulse—for thus we build I for the future. From the instincts of kindness, pity, j fealty to family and race; the love of liberty; the mystical yearning for spir itual things; the desire for fuller ex pression of the creative faculties: the impulses of service to community and nation, are molded the ideals of our people. And the most potent force in society is its ideals, if one were to attempt to limit the potency of in stinct and ideale, it would be found that while instinct dominates in our preservation, yet the great propelling force of progress is right ideals. It is true we do not realize the ideal: not even a single person personifies that realization. It is therefore not sur prising that society, a collection of persons, a necessary maze of compro mises. c-Annot realize it. But that it has ideals, that they revolve in a sys tent that makes fur steady advance of them, is the first thing. Yet true as tliis is. the day has not arrived when any economic or social system will function and last if founded upon al truism alone. Kduration Develops Ideals. With the growth of ideals through education, with the higher realization of freedom, of Justice, of humanity, of service, the selfish impulses become less and less dominant, and if we ever reach the millennium, they will disappear in the aspirations and sat isfactions of pure altruism. But l’or the the next several generations we dare not abandon self interest as a motive force to leadership and to production, lest we die. The will-o’-the-wisp of all breeds of socialism is that they contemplate a motivation of human animals by al truism alone. It necessitates a bu reaucracy of the entire population, in which, having obliterated the economic stimulation of each member, the fine gradations of character and ability are to be arranged in relative authority by 1,allot or more likely by a Tam many Hall or a Bolshevist parts', or some other form of tyranny. Tiie proof of the futility of these ideas as a stimulation to the development and activity of the individual does not lie alone in the ghastly failure of Rus sia, but it also lies in our own failure in attempts at nationalized industry. Likewise the basic foundations of autocracy, whether it be class or gov ernment or capitalism in the sense that a'few men through unrestrained coptrol of property determine the wel fare of great numbers, is ns far apart from the rightful expression of Ameri can individualism as the two poles. The will-o’-the-wisp of autocracy In any good form Is that it supposes that the good Lord endowed a special few with all the divine attributes. It con templates one human animal dealing to the other human animals his just share of earth, of glory, and of im mortality. The proof of the futility of these ideas in the development of the world does not lie alone in the grim failure of Germany, but it lies in the damage to our moral and social fab ric from those w ho have sought econo mic domination in America, whether employer or employe. Different Individualism. We in America have had too much experience of life to fool ourselves into pretending that all men are equal in ability, in character1, in intelligence, in ambition. That was part of the claptrap of the French revolution. We have grown to understand that ail we can hope to assure to the individual through government is liberty, justice, intellectual welfare, equality of oppor tunity. and stimulation to service. It is in maintenance of a society fluid to these human qualities that j our individualism departs from the in-, dividualism of Europe. There ean tie 1 no rise for the individual through the frozen strata of classes. or of castes. ; and no stratification can take placej in a mass livened by the free stir of its particles. This guarding of our in 1 dividualism against stratification in 1 sists not only in preserving in tire so- ( dal solution an equal opportunity for i the able and ambitious to rise from , | the bottom: it also insists that the sons of the successful shall not by any mere right of birth or favor con- j tinue to occupy their father's places , of power against the rise of a new! generation in process of coming tip from the bottom. The pioneers of our American individualism had the good sense not to reward A\ ashington and Jefferson and Hamilton and heredi- ! | tary dukedoms and fixtures in landed ! estates, ns Hreat Britain rewarded' ■Marlborough and Nelson. Otherwise | j our American fields of opportunity ' would have been clogged with long generations inheriting their fathers' privileges without their fathers' ca pacity for service. That our system has avoided the es tablishment and domination of class ! has a significant proof in the present ladministration in Washington. Of the 12 men comprising the president, vice president and cabinet, nine have earned their own way in life without economic inheritance, and eight of them started with manual labor. Creative Instinct Strongest. If we examine the impulses that) I carry us forward, none is so potent I for progress as the yearning for in- . dividual self expression, the desire for 'creation of something. Perhaps the greatest human happiness flows from ' ■ personal achievement. Here lies the great urge of the constructive Instinct | of mankind. But it can only thrive in a society where the individual has liberty and stimulation to achieve ment. Nor does the community i progress except through its partiel- j pation in these multitudes of achieve- j ments. Furthermore, the maintenance of productivity and the advancement of the things of the spirit depend upon ADY ERTISEMENT.

Our social, economic, and in tellectual progress is almost solely de pendent upon the creative minds of those individuals with imaginative and administrative intelligence who create or who can y discot cries to widespread application. No race pos sesscsses more than a small per centage of these minds in a single gen eration. But little thought has ever been given to our racial dependency upon them. Nor that our progress is in so large a measure due to the fact that with our increased means of communication these rare Individuals are today able to spread their influ ence over so enlarged a number of lesser capable minds as to have in creased their potency a million-fold. In truth, the vastly greater productivity of the world with actually less physi cal labor is due to the wider spread o ftheir influence through the discov ery of these facilities. And they can arise solely through the selection that comes from the free running mills of competition. They must he free to rise from the mass; they must he given the attraction of premiums to effort. leadership I.one Asset. leadership is a quality of the in dividual. It is the individual alone who can function in the world of intel lect and in the field of leadership. If democracy is to secure its author!-' ties in morals, religion and statesman ship, it must stimulate leadership from its own mass. Human leadership can not lie replenished by selection like queen bees, by divine right of bureau cracies, but by the free rise of ability, character and intelligence. Even so, leadership cannot, no mat ter how brilliant, carry progress far ahead of the average of the mass of individual units. Progress of the nation is the sum of progress in Its in dividuals. Acts and ideas that lead to progress are born out of the womb of the Individual mind, not out of the mind of the crowd. The crowd only feels: it has no mind of its own which can plan. The crowd is credulous, it destroys, it consumes, it hates, and it dreams—but never builds. It is one ot the most profound and important of exact psychological truths that, man in the mass does not think hut only feels. The mob functions only in a world of emotion. The demagogue feeds on mob emotion and his leadership i3 the leadership of emotion, not tlie lead ership of intellect and progress. Popu lar desires are no criteria ro the real need; they can be determined only by deliberative consideration, by educa tion, by constructive leadership. rr« Its Continued.)
