THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, JANUARY. 20, DO, 19290—PART 1. ECONOMC STUDY | OCCUPIES GROUP Committee of President’s Un- employment Conference Meets Here This Week. ‘The committee on recent economic changes of the President’s unemploy- ment conference, of which President- elect Hoover is chairman, will continue its study of the swiftly changing pic- ture of economic trends in the United | States when it reconvenes here Tues- | | day and Wednesday. The committee, making the study | for the National Bureau of Economic | Research, is expected to issue a rvpnni embodying conclusions and recommen- | dations soon. The sessions will start at | the Metropolitan Club at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. ‘Through data collected during a pe- riod of more than a year, the commit- tee will attempt to determine how new and shifting economic currents are changing modes of living as well as business and industrial relations. Sessions Deal With Finance. ‘Edward Eyre Hunt, secretary of the | committee, sald that ‘Tuesday and Wednesday will be devoted ; o analyzing that part of the survey de- voted to the projects prepared by the national bureau dealing with money and | banking, foreign markets and loans, price structure, profits, interest and wages and capital accumulation and in- vestment Oliver M. W. Sprague, converse pro- fessor of banking and finance, Harvard University, has collaborated with th> mational bureau on the section on money and banking, which will come before the conference. The section on price changes pre- pared by Dr. Frederick C. Mills of the national bureau will trace recent move- ments of the level of wholesale prices and their relation to business conditions. Dr. Morris A. Copeland of the Univer- sity of Wisconsin has co-operated with the bureau in the preparation of the data_on profits, interest and wages in the United States, also tp come up for review before the committee. W. Ran- dolph Burgess, assistant Federal Re- serve agent at New York, will present data on capital accumuistion and in- vestment. The project of the survey bearing on money and banking, prepared by Dr. J. Harvey Rogers, professor of economics, University of Missouri, with particular attention to the American domestic sit- uation, will treat of American branch banking abroad. Committee Continues Work. The committee is a_continuation of the President’s unemployment confer- ence, which in 1922-23 surveyed busi- ness cycles and unemployment. Owen D. Young was chairman of that sub- committee. The fact-finding on recent economic changes was made possible through grants to the conference by the Carne- ; gie Corporation of New York and the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial. Dr. Edwin F. Gay and Dr. Wesley C. Mitchell, directors of research for the " National Bureau of Economic Research, headed the survey for the national bureau. The members of the committee are Herbert Hoover, chairman; Walter F. Brown, Renick W. Dunlap, William Green, Julius Klein, John Lawrence, Max Mason, Adolph C. Miller, Lewis E. Plerson, John J. Raskob, A. W. Shaw, Louis J. Taber, Daniel Willard, George McFadden, Clarence M. Woolley, Owen D.

STORY OF CREATION UPHELD BY CLARK EVOLUTION THEORY __(Continued From First Page) by century after century of gradual development. It came practically at one jump. Animal Complexes. The key to the theory seems to lie in Dr. Clark’s conception of animal- complexes, present throughout: crea- tion. The same tendencies to the same variations are present in butterflies and men, such, for instance, as the tendency toward a big brain. But there will never be a super-intelligent but- terfly because the physical structure of a butterfly will not permit it. Dr. Clark’s theory takes the time element out of evolution and restores the concept of an original plan in na- ture which has been, and is still be- ing, expressed in life. The theory can be summed up under the following points: 1. An nth degree of potentiality for variation in all life, the culmination of which is circumscribed by environment, both external and internal. First the potentiality is restricted by the physical structure of the animal or plant itself and secondly by the outside world in which it must live. 2. There is no such thing as an abnormality. Every freak is a normal expression of these inate tendencies of nature. 3. There is no first and last in life forms. The amoeba and vertebrate are coeaval manifestations of nature, the apparent time element being introduced by environment alone. 4. This ‘“rose-cut diamond evolu- tionary system” is as much in evidence today as it ever has been. * Man, for instance, Dr. Clark points out, continually is throwing off sup- posed “abnormalities,” such as micro- cephalic idiots, which are merely mani- festations of the inate tendency of life to produce a new animal of that type. The new creature, if it were able to sur- vive, would not be a man or an ape, but a new creation of evolution. The new animal does not appear be- cause the microcephalic idiot —cannot survive long enough to produce a fam- ily—or if he does, the succesive offspring cannot survive more than a few genera- tions. The idiot either dies because he cannot make his way in the world or is confined in an asylum. Throwing off “Super-Men.” Man also is throwing off “super- men,” he believes, who are at almost as great a disadvantage in the present en- vironment as_the idiot because, sub- consciously, the whole race conspires against them to prevent their survival, shutting ¢hem up in an asylum of con- ventions and restrictions. A notable minor note in this new concept of evolution, as explained by Dr. Clark, deals with the original home of life in the sea which is almost an orthodox conclusion of science. He holds that _vertebrate life probably rose in New Year Bargains . The Mintwood 1843 Mintwood Place N.W.

From the amphiblan stock went out in one direction the fishes, in another the reptiles, and in anther the mammals, the original stock containing inate ten- dencles in all these directions which were able to find expression because of an exceptionally favorable environ- ment. llustrated by Giraffe. The theory may be illustrated in the case of the giraffe—an animal which varies from the antelopes chiefly be- cause of its sensationally long neck. The Larmarkian theory would hold that an indefinite number of antelopes found themselves in an environment of scant pasturage. In order to surv./e they were obliged to feed on the foliage This necessitated stretch- ing their necks. Through such exercise the necks became slightly longer. In some undetermined way this forced lengthening of the neck became heredi- tary. The next generation were born | with necks naturally slightly longer than their parents. With increasing numbers they were obliged to go higher in the trees for food, stretching their necks still more. Always the extra length of neck beyond that with which the generation had been born became hereditary. Each generation stretched its neck a little more, and each suc- ceeding generation was born with a longer neck. Finally the process stop- ped, either when there was no neces- sity of the animals reaching any higher for food or when the neck became so long that it could be extended no fur- ther without becoming so fragile that the creature could not exist. Then it became fixed, the result being the strange body of the present-day giraffe. This is the theory of hereditary trans- mission of acquired characters, which has had a stormy history because there is little concrete evidence to sustain it. It still has prominent adherents, how- ever, and there is a body of disputed evidence in favor of it. Next came the theory promulgated by Charles Darwin, which, with some im- portant modifications, holds the field today. It is the basis of most evolu- tionary philosophies. The Darwinian would explain the ex- istence of the giraffe somewhat as follows: An_indefinite number of antelopes found themselves in an area of scant pasturage and were obliged to turn to the tree follage for food. Each indi- vidual among these antelopes was slightly different from every other. Some had short necks, some medium necks, some long necks and some ab- normally long necks. The antelopes with the abnormally long necks got plenty to eat. Those with the short necks went hungry and finally perished. The long necks had the best chance to live, and con- sequently to reproduce their kind. Each Offspring Different. Each offspring of two long-necked parents differed from every Some inherited long necks and some shorter necks. In the normal course | of variation some would have longer necks than their parents. They would have the best chance to survive. Thus through the ages there would be a gradual lengthening of the ,necks of this particular antelope group—not through inheritance of the extra neck length due to stretching, but because nature makes every individual dif- ferent, with different hereditary char- acters, and some are born with longer necks than others. The character would finally: become fixed, as in the giraffe of today, in the same way as under the Lamarkian theory—when the limit of usefulness had been -reached. Both these theories call for a gradual process, extending through many gene- rations. Clark would explain the genesis of the giraffe in a radically different way, as follows: forms of animal life have a po- tentiality, present from the beginning, of throwing off individuals with en- ormously long necks. Men; for ex- ample, with necks long enough_to excite notice, are not uncommon. The same potentiality is present in all forms of life. But, ordinarily, conditions are so unfavorable for the enormously long- necked that . they cannot exist even long enough to be born. The long neck infection, is usually a period vigor.

Ordinarily no antelope calf would be born with a neck as long as a giraffe calf. Nevertheless, with an nth de- gree of possibility of variation, such would not be out of the question. Under most circumstances such a crea- ture would be a fragile freak, whose clhlnces of survival would be extremely slim. But at some time such a freak, or pair of freaks, was born in an antelope herd stranded in a region of very poor pasturage but with a possible food sup- ply in the follage overhead. Then the long-necked freaks would live while the other starved to death. Thus the theory would assume that the giraffe, approxi- mately as it.is today, came out of the antelopes by a sudden jump. One day there was no giraffe or anything in the world approximating a giraffe. The next day there was one. There are no intermediate steps, Clark says. The okapi, according to this theory, is not an intermediate experiment of nature in making a giraffe out of an antelope but another freak due to the nth degree potentiality inherent in life to throw off long necks. In this case, however, the neck was not long enough to pre- vent the animal from surviving without especially favorable circumstances, as was the case with the giraffe. Dismisses Element of Time. ‘The illustration.of the three theories of evolution by the example of the giraffe is given by way of simplification. Dr. Clark’s actual evidence is concerned with much obscurer abnormalities in obscurer forms of life. Its effect is to do away with the ele- ment of time in evolution, to a very large extent. : The most revolutionary " implication of the theory, in the light of present controversy, concerns the descent of man. Dr. Clark does not believe that man had any manlike or apelike an- cestors or that human beings are de- rived from the simian family by a ris- ing gradient. His theory holds that man appeared in the world suddenly and unheralded, in practically the same form as he maintains today, due to an inherent capacity of life to throw off an apparent “abnormality” with an enormously enlarged brain into an en- v:ranmem where it was able to sur- vive. ‘The theory would throw into the dis- card all the anthropological evidence of pre-humans, as misinterpretations of ape bones or bones of other abnormal- ities thrown off because of the same inherent tendency in life, but unable to survive. Thus, Dr. Clark would .say, man is not a distant blood relative of the gorilla necessarily, but both are simply results of nature's urge towards giganticism .in brains.
