holds a more
astounding spectacle in many re-
spects than any of these. It is the
onrush of our business life. Our
! economic progress plunges ahead
at a rate unheard of in the history
of the nations of the world and
every industrial and financial lead-
er is daily brought face to face with
new and perplexing problems re-
quiring the highest courage and in-
| telligence for their solution.
Ninety billions a year, they tell
us, this country Is now producing
! in new wealth. The rate of In-
crease is even more staggering
than the amount. It is difficult to
I say where it may lead us in even
ten or fifteen years.
We are moving exceptionally
i fast. Our economic and industrial
! structure is placing before us prob-
lems of greater and greater magni-
tude. Few men can see far ahead.
Few are In complete control, for
this is a changing world, as even
the most inexperienced business
man will readily testify. Our meth-
ods of adjusting ourselves rapidly
to economic changes and of cooper-
ating are far from perfect.
What an opportunity the leader-
ship of five, ten or fifteen years
from now presents! What an ad-
venture it will be! What responsi-
bilities. It will lay upon the broad-
est shoulders that may be found!
This is the challenge to leadership
is I see ft. In the hands of the
yourg men must rest the respon-
sibility for this leadership.
