THK IDEAL. OXTT
The United States i* to be given
the first chance of taking the lead
tor the i-ealizatlon of the Ideal City
that is to serve as a world-consciene
center of all international effort.
This is the decision of Hendrick
Christian Anderson, founder of the
project, who has ju»t returned to
his headquarters at Rome after hav
ing presented his idea and perfected
plans to three more European rul
ers. All of these pledged to it the
fullest support of their respective
countries. They were even anx
ious to take 'he lead at once in
putting the project into execution.
As an American citizen, however,
Anderson has quite decided that
Uncle Sam must have the first
chance of doing this.
In making this decision Ander
sen declares he is in no way daunt
ed by the hard luck experience in
America of David Lubin. When
the latter, at his home ia Los An
geles, conceived an International In
stitute of Agriculture that would
bring the whole world of agriculture
into harmony and that would give
to the whole world the benefit of
whatever agricultural discoveries
and science that might be develop
ed in some particular country, he,
too, patriotically felt that the Unit
ed States 6hould have the first
chance of making it a reality. Lub
in, however, was practically turn
ed out of the State Department and
other government office* at Wash
ington as a crank. Them he came
to Italy with his idea and was warm
ly welcomed by KiagVictor Eman
uel. Italy at pnee built a magnifi
cent palace to house the institute
and invited the nations of the world
to join. At the present time 54 of
the principal agricultural countries
of the world jnaintaln permanent
representatives at Rome, instead of
in America as might iiave been the
case, and the institution is now the
largest international undertaking of
its kind in the world. •
Anderson's colossal plan for an
ideal city, in which every organiza
tion in the world which has for its
object the betterment of mankind
can have its headquarters, has been
presented to ten of the leading Eur
opean countries. By all of them it
was enthusiastically received. On
his last trip, the founder placed
the plans, which during the 14
years he ha« been working on tham
have been perfected down to the
smallest architectural and engineer
ing detail, lefore the King of Bel
gium, the government of Prance
and the Prince of Monaco.
' It was with "'actual difficulty
that Anderson refused the insist
ent offers of the King of Belgium
for the immediate construction and
housing of the city on a tract of
land near Brussels. This site had
been set aside by the late King Leo
old for a somewhat similar purpose
and the present king was most an
xious that Belgium should be the l'u
ture home of the world's center
of international efforts. The actual
location of -the city, however, An
derson has decided must bo select
ed by the interparliamentary Union
at The Hague after the various
countries desiring to have it pres
ent their respective claims.
At Paris Anderson presented his
plans in a lecture s't the Sorboane
and later at a banquet attended
by Leon Bourgeois and all t>f the
leading political, literary, scientific
and artistic men of Prance. The
reception of it there was such that
Anderson is hopeful that Prance
and the United Staes, as the two
leading republics of the world, may
be able to find acomtuon ground on
which they can take the lead in the
matter. The last presentation of
the project before returning to
Rome was then made to the Prince
of Monaco who already has world
wide reoutation for the internation
al research work he has done in
marine studies and for the immense
marine museum he has erected at
Monte Carlo. He declared that the
perfected plans of Anderson mater
ialized what had been the dream of
his entire life, namely an interna
tional center for the arts, sciences,
industries, religions and humanitar
ian work of the entire world. His
approval and support was as unqual
ified as that of the King of Italy
and other foreign monarchs to whor
Anderson hud previously presented
his plans.
The next definite step to be tak
en by Anderson iu ths realization
of his project is the calling of a
congress, probably in 1:115, at which
not only the nations of the world
will be officially represented but all
the great international societies and
congresses of the world. Because
of the fact that the governents will
be represented' at this it is neces
sary that the invitation to them be
extended by one of the leading pow
ers. All of the governments to
whom Anderson has already present
ed his plans have expressed Nthoir
willingness to take the initiative
lead, but it is precisely this that
Andersen would prefer to have
done by his own country.
