■ The Oregon Daily Emerald, official student publication of
the University of Oregon, Eugene, issued Tuesday, Wednesday,
'I hursday and Friday during the college year. Entered in the
postoffice nt Eugene, Oregon, as second class matter. Subscrip
tion rates $2.fi0 a year.
The American people cannot he loo careful in
rtnardini/ the freedom of speech and of the press
ui/ainst curtailment as to the discussion of public
affairs ami the character and conduct of public
men. —Carl Schnrs.
THE BUDGET IS BALANCED
TNISBURSEMENTS and receipts at last have been
made to meet hi the A. S. U. O. accounts and
the budget has been balanced at approximately
$91,000. On the face of things this appears as an
achievement. Operating on a balanced budget is
rather rare these days, as wiill be attested by the
financial plights of numerous states and cities.
However, the manner in which the executive
council trimmed expenditures to equal receipts must
be considered before any praise can be given. Vir
tually all activities sustained slight budget slashes,
but four in particular were the object of heavy
retrenchment. They were the Emerald, baseball,
concerts and track.
Concerts have been eliminated completely. Base
ball has been placed on a restricted basis. The same
has been done with track. The Emerald has been
reduced from five to four Issues a week, after hav
ing operated for 12 years on the former basis.
Thus we see that the council has picked at the
very foundations of the entire A. S. U, O. program.
Perhaps the only two activities that have any cul
tural and intellectual values arc the Emerald and
the concert program. One has been reduced mater
ially. The other has been abandoned. Forensics
might be included in this group, and it, too, has
Buffered sharp retrenchment.
Perhaps of all our major sports, baseball and
track are closer to -a Utopia in athletic activities
than any others. They are on a far more amateur
foundation than football. Although neither is as
financially profitable nor as popular with the multi
tudes as football, they are essential to any well
balanced athletic program. The curtailment of base
ball and track cannot but have a derogatory effect
on every other athletic enterprise. The entire sys
tem is interdependent, and two weak links in the
chain mfcy precipitate a general far-reaching col
lapse.
The Emerald returned a paper profit of $389
last term. This figure may not be attained when
all receipts are collected, but it is undeniable that
the Emerald is more than self-supporting. Should
not the paper then be permitted to operate on a
five-day basis at least until its surplus of the fall
term is consumed?
It was the opinion of the executive council, how
ever, that the Emerald should contribute to the
support of other functions, rather than being an
independent financial unit. Evidently the members
forget several important points one among which is
the faact that the student body constitution speci
fies that the Emerald shall be a "daily paper." It
is doubtful if four issues a week conform to the
requirements of the constitution.
The Emerald could offer a host of other argu
ments why the reduction is unwise, but it will not
do so. In these times sacrifices are expected. The
Emerald already has made several of them. It is
opetatmg on a budget $3,500 below that of last
year . All salaried workers have accepted reductions.
The Emerald is ready to accept the cut in issues,
although it does not believe such is the mandate of
the student body as a whole.
First, how ever,, the Emerald wants to know
why other activities were not reduced proportion
ately. Certainly it is neither wise nor fair to im
pose tlie greatest cuts upon four such valuable
functions as the Emerald, track, concerts and base
ball.
Hallies, an activity whose worthiness is doubtful
at best, received its full budgeted amount of $175.
This sum was spent during the football season,
when, according to those in authority, the need for
retrenchment was not realized so keenly as it is
at present. The plausibility of this statement is
dubious. In a fooiball season as off color financially
as was Oregon’s, it seems as if the monetary plight
of the organization would be apparent from the
start.
The Emerald thi., week got* ou a four u_ue a
week basis after having been published five times
a week since 1920. The football schedule next
season is as extensive as that of this year, yet the
1932 gridiron campaign returned a profit of only
$4,000, as compared to that of $23,000 in 1931. We
wonder what the executive council would have said
and done had the Emerald's surplus suffered as
great a tumble proportionately.
We wonder.
IT’S NEW FACTS THAT WE W ANT
DR. NITOBE is a sincere internationalist. As a
scholar and a gentleman, as well as an inter
national figure, he is entitled to the unqualified re
| spect of any American audience. His address on in
ternational co-operation delivered at Gerlinger hall
yesterday was interesting and informative, but one
could not help but feel that the hundreds of stu
; dents who turned 'out to hear Dr. Nitobe came
away with less than they expected to receive, with
; less than they had a right to receive.
The Japanese author and statesman devoted his
address to a review of the agencies which exist for
international co-operation, such as the International
Labor office, the World court, the League of Na
tions, and others of the 473 international associa
tions in existence. This type of material is not new
to a college audience, for phases of it are covered
in a score of courses of study offered at the Uni
! versify. The bulk of Dr. Nitobe’s address, then
I constituted a repetition of the lectures we hear in
our class-rooms from day to day.
We are reasonably familiar with all this inter
national machinery. What we want to know in
why it isn’t working. If our automobile refuses
to run and we call in a mechanic who contents
himself with describing to us are various mechan
ical parts of the machine, we'd have small patience
with him. We would want him to tell us what part
had dropped out and needed replacement, or what
mechanical additions were needed to get the car
to running again.
In a time of international crisis, with grave
economic diseases aggravated by diplomatic ner
vousness, it is no reassurance to review the agencies
I which now exist to help create international under
■ standing and cooperation. No matter how many
| of them there may be, or how wideflung their in
fluence, they are not numerous enough, not pow
erful enough to give us any sense of security for
the future. So far, so good, but where do we go
from here ?
We appreciate that Dr. Nitobe is in a delicate
position in lecturing on interational co-operation
while the papers are again filled with cables from
Manchuria. We also appreciate that if he had got
ten down to fundamentals in his address and had
fearlessly spoken of the obstacles to world peace
and the measures necessary to remove them he
might have had to say some things unpleasant to
American ears. But we could have stood that well
enough, and whether we agreed with him or not,
we would have felt that we had received some
things of permanent value from his address.
College students are becoming more and more
critical of “authorities.” That immeasurable gap
between idealistic platitudes and hard realities
which we see on all sides is inevitably making us
more hesitant to accept as the revealed gospel any
thing an eminent speaker chooses to bring before
us.
The international scene cries aloud for courage
| ous measures. We are looking for a program of
| acWon, and we shall have less and less patience with
j international academics.
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON, D. C.—(AP)—Jan. 9—Where
President Theodore Roosevelt had the support
of his “tennis cabinet" in his physical conditioning,
and where President Hoover’s morning session with
the “medicine ball cabinet” had its place in the
news, President Franklin Roosevelt is apt to have
a “swimming cabinet” of bis own.
For in the water, Mr. Roosevelt, a powerful
swimmer, is free of the after effects of the infan
tile paralaysis.
That fact accounts for the “Little White House”
at Warm Springs, Ga., for the swimming pool at
the Roosevelt estate, Krum Elbow, for the pool that
replaced potted plants in a conservatory in the
grounds of the executive mansion in Albany after
he became governor.
SIS sis <|s
Just what will be done about providing suitable
swimming facilities for White House use during the
coming Roosevelt administration has not been dis
closed. It is safe to say, however, that there will
be a pool and that the next President of the United
States will make daily use of it.
Swimming is a part of his physical routine and
it is his good luck that from boyhood he has always
found joy in water sports.
At Albany swimming parties in the pool always
enter into the entertainment of guests. They are
as much a matter of course as Mrs. Roosevelt's teas
every afternoon at which the secretarial staff puts
in an appearance, work permitting.
An invitation to spend a day or stay overnight
i at the executive mansion almost is invariably ac
companied by a suggestion to bring a bathing suit.
Nearly everybody swims and the governor gets a
lot of boyish “kick” out of these water parties.
* * *
Incidentally, the amenities between the outgoing
I and incoming administrations are being maintained
by Colonel Louis Howe for Mr. Roosevelt and Law
rence Richey for Air. Hoover.
When Howe made his first Washington visit
after election. Richey guided him about the White
House and it is a reasonable assumption that the
physical arrangements of the mansion in view of
Mr. Roosevelt's special necessities came in for care
ful consideration.
Mr. Howe is credited with having assumed that
! he slipped that visit over on the White House crew
I of reporters. He picked a Sunday morning, early,
for the trip and did not sight a reporter at any
time. His surprise, next morning when he read an
account of Iris visit in his New York papers may
be imagined.
The W hite House statt of clerks, stenographers,
telephone operators and what-not probably looked a
bit askance at Howe if they saw him that morn
ing Jobs are important. Yet there seems some
thing behind the prediction that most of the per
manent staff will not be disturbed. The President
elect himself is said to ba\. laid down that com
mand.

What the Left Hand Doeth” By KEN FERGUSON \

A Message to Garcia
(This is the first of two articles
by Dean Allen. The second will
treat of the report of the Presi
dent’s Committee on Social
Trends.)
By ERIC W. ALLEN
Dean of the School of Journalism
^INCE school closed a few weeks
ago a new word has been add
ed to the common language: tech
nocracy. It is heard wherever the
depression is discussed—and where
is it not discussed?—at luncheon
clubs, on the radio, in newspapers
and magazines, in smoking com
. partments on the trains, and now
it is making its entree about the
fraternity fireplace.
What is technocracy? To an
! swer fully would consume too
much space. The definition must
be dodged. In its various aspects
! technocracy is a research project,
a group of engineers working on
statistics, a new form of govern
ment, a social philosophy, and a
publicity wave. The last is per
| haps the most important.
* * *
Technocracy is not nonsense.
There is too much truth in this
1 body of thought for it to be super
ciliously brushed aside in its en
tirety. It is emphasizing certain
facts that ought to be emphasized
(facts not previously realized by
1 the man in the street), but it is
I also asserting from the housetops
I some things that social scientists
regard as only probably or possi
bly true, and of these last it has
not yet submitted its alleged proofs
| for critical examination. And en
thusiasts on the fringe of the
group have been making predic
i tions that sound wild. It is rais
j ing hopes of a millenium to come
impossibly soon. On the other
j hand the wide popular spread of
this doctrine may speed up the
necessary social reorganizations.
* * *
The wildest statement printed so
j far is that technocracy could, as
| early as 1934, guarantee every
family a standard of living equal
to what a $20,000 income brings
j at present. Even the more modern
! technocrats promise vastly better
i living for all us a result of devel
oping our machine industry to its
utmost, taking its control away
i from the business men, capitalists,
1 and politicians who now run it,
anil handing it over to engineers
to operate solely in the interest of
production and distribution. Prof
its and debts are to be cancelled
out. The technocrats are said to
have amassed, in the engineering
j buildings at Columbia university,
vast charts of statisttics showing
what enormous wealth our mod
ern techniques could produce for
all Of us if business considerations
I could be wiped aside and the con
trolling engineers told to go ahead
and run the national plant at full
capacity. It is now more than half
idle. * * *
Technocracy is a scheme to wipe
out in fact these "business consid
erations." it proposes to meas
ure wealth not in dollars but in a
new energy-unit, perhaps some
thing like the British thermal unit.
In its research aspect it is a new
form of cost accounting, disregard
ing bonds, stocks and ownerships.
It substitutes this measure for
the economic concept of "value,"
which is based not upon energy
consumed in manufacture and
transportation, but upon desire
and scarcity. Under the techno
cratic scheme the dollar would dis
appear from the picture
Now . m any of the sciences the
invention of a new form of meas
urement has revolutionary results
It inevitably initiates great chang
es, whether anyone wills it or not
Have the technocrats a new, valid
and easily usable form of measure
ment ? Nobody knows. They claim
they have, and it is the most def
inite claim they make, but the
details of their method have not
been published, nor their figures
analyzed by outside critics. If
they have, and if their new units
proves easily applicable, look out
for deep seated social changes!
But up to now scientists are left
to guess how practically one can
measure in terms of energy, the
worth of a tube of tooth paste, a
locomotive, or a college education.
Naturally they are skeptical.
* <i *
Technocracy scorns economists,
newspapers, capitalism, socialism,
communism, fascism, business -men
and politicians alike. Of all of
these it would substitute new
methods for their present activi
ties, and new concepts for their
present working philosophies. And
these engineers seem to think this
could be done in a few months
rather than require decades!
Is technocracy socialism ? Well,
from the capitalistic point of view
there is certainly a strong resem
blance, but it might loj>k unsocial
istic from the direction of Mos
cow. There seems to be no class
war idealogy, and no worship of
Marx or Lenin. Veblen, rather, is
the patron saint, and the thought
is American rather than European.
Anyway, technocracy is furnishing,
and the man in the street is avidly
adopting, a new vocabulary (not so
very new to economists) in which
the fundamentals of social life can
be discussed without tendencious
and prejudice-arousing references
to Marx and Moscow. Even capi
talism has been rechristened as
"the price system." As a phenom
enon in the growth of public opin
ion, this is of some importance.
