 uel McCune Lindsay, has been admirably launched with Pro- 

 fessor Patten's book, "The New Basis of Civilization." A well- 

 known writer on economics has characterized it as "the book

 well-reasoned philosophy."

 with conspicuous wisdom, and no man in America is better fitted 

 to discuss it adequately. The events of the past two or three

 and stimulating thought.
