By The Associated Press) NEW YORK ( AP I Were the United States to use the meat efficient methods of production now available, only 30 per cent of the people at present employed between 18,000,000 and 15,000,000 would be necessary to do everything required to run the nation. ThU la on "symbol" used by Technocracy, a research group of tech nician and engineer working at Columbia university, to demonstrate tha growth, effect and what la considered tha possible perils of the machine. Tha research haa been In progress ten yeere under tha direc tion of Howard Scott. Practically all of tha gain In tha nation' efficiency haa occurred In tha last century, tha researchers found, man having failed to better his ability to do work In all of pre ceding history. Calculating that about 88,000,000 now are gainfully employed, use of tha most efficient methods now available without new Inventions would render more than 30,000,000 of them useless so far aa absolutely necessary work 1 concerned, the research estimates, without even con? alderlng tha 11,000,000 now Jobless. Lower Cost Production Scott aaya that while auch methods are not fully In use now, there must be an accelerating trend toward their adoption since all business activity la directed toward lower cost produc tion machines mean fewer men, lower cost. When It 1 considered, Scott says. that moat of tha gain In the tut century there had been no gain up to the laat century has occurred in tha laat 80 years, it can be aeen what tha potentiality is for tha fu ture toward tha rapid extension of better method. A man with a spade In 1030 could till only one-eighth acre of land In a 13-hour day. other crude devices, the wooden plow for Instance, bet tered thla speed somewhat. In 1855 with the advent of th earlier tilling machine, h could till between 13 and IS acres a day. Today, with most modern machinery and methods, he can till about 00 acres In an eight- hour day. It took him 8780 minute or 08 hour to till an acre In 1830 with apadea, and aomewhat less ttma with tha wooden plow. It bad taken him at leaat that long in all history up to about 1830. Today with th most modern metnoda he van tin an acre In five minutes. If th wheat acreage in 1038 had been tilled with spadea It would have required 4,000,000 men. Tha 1030 tillage actually required between 70,000 and 100,000 men, but, had moat efficient methods been used, 4000 men could have done tha Job. The tendency, Scott aaya, will be Inevitably toward thla possible effi ciency, with consequent reduction In the need for farm labor. All farm cropa can be tilled about aa efficient ly. A few mora num. with modem methods, can accomplish tha whole farm process, ' Efficiency tha Goal In 1830 a man could make 45 brlcka in 00 minutes. Today ha can make 40,000 brlcka In tha aama time. About 87 men using most modern methoda could have produced all the brlcka tha United Statea used In 1030. Man uaed 00 mlnuwa to make 45 brick In 1830; today ha needa but four seconds for tha aama 45 brick from raw clay to burned brlcka. Here again tha tendency toward greater efficiency and smaller em ployment la aeen, Scott aaya. in 1004. tha beginning of tha auto mobile Industry, one man needed 1281 hour to fabricate an automo bile; by 1014 be needed 400 hours; In 1020, 02 hours; and today only 73 houra. Tha rapid gains in thla modern Industry, Scott aaya, ahow how rapid ''displacement of men with machlnea will be In new industries, a well a the potentiality of machine methoda in as yot relatively simple Industries. The produce the 1020 output of automobile with methoda but 25 year old 1804 methoda the Indus try would have needed 3,040,000 men; It actually required 310,000 men. Thla I to aay, Scott explains, that had It not been for better methods, tha automobile Industry alone would have afforded employment for more than 3.500,000 of the 4,000,000 seek ing gainful employment that were added by population growth after 1004. Thus ona Industry could have ab sorbed more than half of the new stock of worker had It not been for the machine. Aa It happened. Scott aaya, they were absorbed In new Industries and other occupations up to 1037 when th maximum of all employment In the country waa reached despite greater production in 1838 and 1038. Maximum Industrial employment waa reached In 1918, The example cited above bold for other Industrie. "The only way thl almost certain ly Increasing burden of the unem ployed can be cared for will ba thru the adoption of aoclal measures de signed to reduce the necessity for human drudgery," Scott aaya.
