Question
The Great Depression, 1919-1939 Unit Test
No doubt, individualism run riot, with no tempering principle, would
provide a long category of inequalities, of tyrannies, dominations,
and injustices. America, however, has tempered the whole
conception of individualism by the injection of a definite principle, and
from this principle it follows that attempts at domination, whether in
government or in the processes of industry and commerce, are
under an insistent curb. If we would have the values of individualism,
their stimulation to initiative, to the development of hand and intellect,
to the high development of thought and spirituality, they must be
tempered with that firm and fixed ideal of American individualism_-an
equality of opportunity.
That high and increasing standards of living and comfort should be
the first of considerations in public mind and in government needs no
apology. We have long since realized that the basis of an advancing
civilization must be a high and growing standard of living for all the
people, not for a single class; that education, food, clothing, housing,
and the spreading use of what we so often term non-essentials, are
the real fartilizare of the nail from uhinh enring the finer flaware of life
