Seven years of coritending with economic degeneration, with 'social disinte- gration, with incessant political dis- location, with all of its seething and ferment of individual and class con- flict, could but impress me with the primary motivation of social forces, and the necessity for broader thought upon their great issues to humanity. And from it all I em- erge an individualist—an unasham- ed individualist. But let me say also that I am an American indiv- idualist. ' Tor America has been steadily developing the ideals that constitute progressive individualism. No doubt, individualism run riot, with no.tempering principle, would provide a long category of inequal- ities, of tyrannies, dominations and injustices. America, however, has tempered the whole conception of individualism by the injection of a definite principle, and from this principle it follows that attempts at domination, whetheir in government or in the processes of industry and commerce, are under an Tinsistent curb.

TODAY IN MUSIC The Germans have bcen supremc in the composition of music, as much today as in the past, but they have failed. to achieve any degree of suc- cess in the production of mechanical music, judging by their phonograph records. released in this country. There is one great test of recording ability—the symphony orchestra, with it many voices. American and English concerns have issued spll'l\.‘ did records by great orchestras, re- | producing with fidelity the instru-! mental masterpicces, but while the | German records are ambitious un-| dertakings, the results are poor in comparison. { On the eve of his departure for Europe, John McCormack was guest | of honor at a reception given by the | Catholic Club of New York. It was| attended by many church dignitarics | and numerous of Mr. McCormack' friends in the operatic and musical world.

It we would have these values we must soften fits hardness and stimulate progress through that sense of servioe that lies in our people. Therefore, it is not the individ- ualism of other countries for which I would ‘speak, but the individual- ism of America. Our individualism differs from all others because it embraces these great ideals: that while we build our society upon the attainment of the individual, we shall safeguard to every individral an equality of opportunity to take that position in the community to ' which his intelligence, character, ability, and ambition - entitle him; that we keep the social solution free from frozen strata of classes; that we shall stimulate effort of each in- dividual to achlevement; that through an enlarging sense of re- sponsibility and understanding we. shall assist him to this attainment; while he in turn must stand up to the emery wheel of gonspetition.
