Cooperation Drive Is Basic,
The theory that there is a basic drive toward cooperation in animals greater than egoistic drives was expounded and defended by Warder Clyde Allee, zoologist, when he spoke to Winter Institute audiences in his lecture and conferences. The main lecture, “Man —Animal and Human Being,” was given Monday night in the Miami Senior high school auditorium. Dr. Allee is professor of zoology at the University of Chicago.
“Man has inherited altruistic drives from his animal ancestors as well as egoistic ones,' ’ Or. Allee said after describing the evidences of both that he had found in experiments made on non-human animals. “Human altruism is as firmly based on animal ancestry as is man himself.”
By studying the social life of non-human animals, Dr. Allee Pointed out, information which is applicable to international affairs can be found. He listed three characteristics of animal social jife that he felt would furnish a base for the beginning of inter-
national planning: first, many animals care for young at the risk of their own safety; second, when food is plentiful, fighting decreases; and third, many animals help to change and condition the environment to the benefit of all.
“I believe we should move toward the best international organization we can get,” Dr. Allee added. Using the three characteristics listed above, he suggested that the first steps to achieve this aim might be: the focusing upon care, feeding, and schooling of children; the production and distribution of food; and the production of proper living conditions, especially for men living in the lower income bracket.
The egoistic drives of animals were explained by Dr. Allee when he described the peck order system of a barnyard. A peck order, he said, is the establishment of a social status based on force. The hen, who by her fighting ability and aggressive attitude is able to dominate the other hens, is at the top of the peck order.

Says Allee
“If you have a world organization based on a peck order,” Dr. Allee explained, following his statement that peck orders can also exist in human relations, “sooner or later some country always challenges the country above it.”
Our record of international relations shows a laxity of integration, struggle for domination, or attempts to escape subordination, giving evidence that we have an international peck order now, he stated.
“The law of unconscious cooperation in Nature seems to me to be slightly stronger than the forces which make for selfish disorganization,” the speaker said, adding emphasis to his original theory.
There has been a growth of the belief in human sympathy and the concept of society as natural principles, he said.
Moving pictures were shown by Dr. Allee to illustrate the position of the psychological element in (Continued on Page Seven)
