WASTE AND SOCIALISM.
Energy Useiessy Expended, Feature
of Present Production Will Vanish
Under the New System.

I When one looks round and takes in
to account the enormous amount Of
! human energy consumed in unproduc-
tive and (under sensible admins
tratIon of human affairs) useless pur-
suits. the enormous waste OF energy
in the world becomes only too appar-
ent. Armies OF men and women are
engaged in simply talking for living
! preachers, idle travellers, canvass
crs. etc. while added to the list are
! bookmakers, punters and numerous
| race course frequenterS, etc.
The pursuits engaged in by this
army of non-producers cannot even be
| regarded as anything approaching use
| full service; and certainly could find no
place In a sanely regulated scientific
mode OF production and distribution.
With all this labor. then, operating
in avenues of productive and useful
necessary services, ii is not difficult
to imagine how, under a system OF
production for use and not for profit.
the work of the world could be car
ried on with q greater economic adj
vantage to the social unit with two
hour universal work day The most
marvellous thing Is that the mass Of
the people-the bulk Of whom suffer
either from overwork or no work, and
drag out a precarious existence-can-
not see the great advantages Socialism
would afford over the present capI-
tallst system In regard to the means
OF living alone.
However there is yet nope. The
dark cloud of ignorance and super
stition is slowly passing away. and
the rays Of the sun OF reason grad
ually penetrating the working class
mind. 1t is only a question of educa-
ton and time. The evolution of cap
italism is assisting the Socialist to
his cherished goal. With each sue
ceeding step that capitalism takes in
its evolution or progress, industry
grows larger the factory is better
equipped. and the productive force be-
comes more efficiently organized.
Where theoretic education fails, prac-
tical illustration gains. AS industry
concentrates, and armies OF workers,
divided into specialized regiments, are
found necessary to operate 1t, it is then
that social collective labor as the pro-
ductive force Is unmistakably mani
Tested, and 1t Is then that the rob-
berry OF the workers becomes most OBJ
vious.
Understanding capitalism, and recog-
nizing the forces at work in capitalist
production, the scientific Socialist has
nothing to be discouraged over as far
as the movement Is concerned. The
work OF the Socialist advocate is to
educate the workers to an understand
Ing of their economic status and DO.
sition In society, and what 1t should
be. and to effect political and indus
trial organization to provide the de-
structiye machinery for the abolition
OF capitalism. and the industrial ma
chinery for the successful accomplish
ment of the Social Revolution and the
carrying on. without hitch, the Social
ist mode of production for USE. The
organization standing In the English
speaking world today is the Socialist
Labor Party.-Sydney, Australia. Peo.
