He beginfl by rejecting most of the accepted theories. The causes,;in his opinion, are not overproduction, national debts, dumping of exports on creditor nations, or the loss of foreign markets. His theory is that machinery is the root of all the trouble. But he neither condemns nor forbids the use of machinery. He places the responsibility upon the shoulders of the indus trial system, blaming industrialists for not forming a plan or program which would take these changing conditions into account. . , ,'! e 5 Tho fnmoua scientist recommends community control or supply and demand so the buying power of the mascs will i ''assured tho president," said . . , 1 , t..:.. .;,,:,n,,,M moniiniwl iii mornhnndise senator Watson, "that at tho earll- llOt SiniC UeiOW 11 cuiwiui n......u.
