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.
"Technocracy presents tha prob
lem; society must solve It."

The fact is, we never overlook the
