SCOFFS AT HUMAN PROGRE AND EVOLUTION OF THE RACE. Dr. Walsh has been called “the busi- est man in New York,” but I finally cornered him in his home at No. 110 ‘Weat Seventy-fourth Street and asked him if he really meant what he sald in his recent lecture in the New York ¢z- tension course of the Cathotic Summer School of America. He had called at~ tention to the fact that the great World's Fair of London, where it was proclaimed that now no longer would there be war between nations, but commerce instead, was followed by a series of the worst wars in human his- tory. “And yet the generation that had seen these wars talks calmly about human progress and the evolution of race,” he com- mented. “We fight now quite aa we did at any time, and we try to kill many people and to maim more. We cannot even be kinder to non-combat- ants. Man does not progress.’ “There is no such thing as pro gression,” Dr. Walsh repeated to me with emphasis. “I do not know of a single thing we are doing that is not copied. “Take our architecture. All the best and most beautiful buildings are imita- tions of classic and mediaeval models. ‘There is nothing new architecturally bout the Public Library, When we want to build a beautiful cathedral search the world for artisans and then model after somethin’ in the middle ages. All around us handsome re- naissance buildings are arising. One of the city’s most famous skyscrapers is nothing but Giotto's Tower set down in a New York square. ‘There has probubly never been a period when so many supremely great things were done or whep 80 many men whose enduring accom- plishment has influenced all the after | generations were alive us during the nearly seventy years of Co- lumbus's lifetime.

In sculpture the roll of great names is ‘scarcely less wonderful than that of the great painte: Modernism in the sense of thinking our generation ahead of the past is just our vanity.” There are those of us who believe Rodin a greater artist than Michel- angelo, but I didn’t want to get into an argument on art. It seemed to me there was a more obvious refutation of Dr. Walsh's theory of non-prog- reas.
