‘DR. DURANT SEES 4 BIG PROBLEMS _Kiwanians Told of Biological, Economic, Moral and Political Crises. TFour basic problems so vital that their simultaneous attack upon mod- ern soclety “constitutes a major crisis in our history” confront the American people today, Will Durant of New York, osopher and author, told delegates to the twentieth annual convention of Kiwanis International today at the closing session in Constitution Hall. ‘These basic problems are biological, economic, moral and political, Durant said, and warned that they must be :olv:d if society is to prosper and en- lure “The most fundamental of these problems,” he told the 2,000 working delegates, "is biological: the threat- ened deterioration of our stock through the low birth-rate of the able and the replenishment of our population through the high birth-rate of medi- ocrity.” Purchasing Power Need. As to the economic problem, Durant eaid that the American system of in- dustry since its high living standards preclude the capture of foreign mar- kets, cannot continue unless the pur- chasing power of our people rises as fast as their power to produce. “But,” he said, “the natural in- equality of men inevitably concen- trates wealth, prevents the full spread of purchasing power, and periodically stalls the industrial machine. Our economic system, like our political sys- tem, seems to demand a higher degree of equality among men than nature has provided.” Dealing with the moral problem, Durant told his listeners that indus- trialism “has weakened the Puritan- agricultural moral code and has weak- ened the institutions that transmit morality.” Turning to his fourth point, he said that the sources of statesmanship are drying up, even as problems multiply and the security of isolation disap- pears. Men, he said, are selected for dffice because of political skill and then are issues requiring economic knowledge and a wide background of education | and intelligence. Political machines | grow out of the mob to stand between .honest ability and public office. He sald that no single mind can cope any longer with all these lssuea at once; the complexity of our civili- gation “has made the Presidency nn outwearing and outworn institution.” . Durant suggested that the bxologlul problem might be met by segregating - defectives against reproduction and by using every means of education and every device of taxation to en- courage fertility among the able and discourage it among the incompetent. | As a step toward political regener- ation he advocated the organization of schools of government in the uni- versities, the establishment of a United States Civil Academy in Washington, and the gradual closing of public offices to those not specifically and technically trained for public admin- istration. White House Visited. One of the high lights of yesterday's program was a visit to the White House, where President Roosevelt, called upon to deal with | <D< <SPPI | the organization for its work in spread- ing “he doctrine of the good neighbor” throughout the country. Last night, after a dinner at the Mayflower, the whole Kiwanis group, including wives and guests, numbering about 5,000, attended a historical pag- eant staged by Lisa Gardiner and her pupils at Constitution Hall. * A smiling 12-year-old crippled girl B> P> >PO>D>OD>¢ Fruits & Vegetables THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 25, -1936. was one of the central figures of the pageant and of a luncheon of the or- ganization yesterday. The child, Mil- dred Petrey, 3822 Fifth street, a stu- dent at the Weightman School for Crippled Children, has been a patient at the Washington Kiwanis Clinic six years. She traced the history of the Kiwanis work in Washington since it was inaugurated in 1923 and lauded the work of Dr. Custis Lee Hall, who has been In charge of the medical phase of the work for 13 years. A brief business session this morn- ing included the adoption of several resolutions and the election of new members to the Board of Trustees. The resolutions urged co-operation with safety councils, chambers of | Syverson, 8 commerce and other groups to reduce << traffic accidents; co-operation with | Bennett O. conditions, and opposition to “viclous | ton, Mass. propaganda” advanced in the inter- ests of communism. The new trustees are Fred G. Mc- Allister, London, Ontario; Sam Cla- pokane, i MuDonllfl Colorado Sprin, Colo.; ' one-half days. FANCY U. S. NO. 1 5~ 23 Fresh Beets or Turnips.
