The whole cress of the United States, and a large bulk of its periodicals, appear to be discussing "Technocracy," the rule by skill or science, which began with the study of a group of engineers delving into the social-economic changes wrought by machine production. Liberty, New Outlook, Business Week, Saturday Evening Post, Vanity Fair. Cosmopolitan, Editor and Publisher, and even the conservative Harper's Magasin have taken It up and given it a more or less prominent place. In Its current issue, in an editorial, Liberty says: "The price system with Its definite brand of capitalism, which Mr. Wayne W.
Parrish condemns, doubtless wlQ always be with us, but some day we may learn that a greatly exaggerated value has been placed en accumulated wealth. The price system cannot be improved upon, provided ft Is free from favoritism, provided the law of supply and demand 18 allowed to operate unrestricted. Our trouble comes from those who operate it," We face some tremendous problems. Technocracy will be helpful. But to say it will solve all our problems Is unadulterated nonsense." HOW ENERGY JUMPED Harpers article, one of the most complete an1, clearest yet published, quoted some amazing figures on the enormous increase of energy output on this continent through the use of the machine.
For instance, measured In energy, the 36.000.000 adult workers in the United States, shorn of machines, could by their own muscular effort produce 9,600,000 horsepower in an 8-hour day. The largest modern turbine has a capacity of 300,000 horsepower per 8-hour day, and only four of them, running tirelessly, for 24 hours, would equal the entire energy of all the adult workers of the United States. At the present time the United States has an installed capacity of one billion horsepower In engines for doing work. The conclusion is that the Importance of man ast a worker ia dwindling rapidly, and that as em- "Our whole existence is and always 8t has been a struggle for energy.
