figure which. while probably in
excess Of Eilma's widest monetary
dreams at the time, was nevertheless
a bargain price from the standpoint
of Mr.. Goldwyn, who has found 1t
more profitable, in this Instance, to
lease the beautiful Miss Banky's
services to other producers at sums
presumably far in excess Of Miss
Banky's weekly stipend than to run
the risks and hazards OF producing
starring pictures for her use.
For the time being Miss Banky's

her association with Valentino in that

was a good idea and they asked the
engineers how to go about getting a
railroad. "Oh," said the engineers,
lust hope for 1t and trust to luck"
This is the kind of engineering
turnedNut by Stuart Chase. He failed
utterly in his task because he took IN
to account only the superhciahries. He
regarded only the manifestation of the
problem and avoided the problem IL
self.
What was necessary after the
physical measurements had been TAX
en- was to re-determine the problem,
something in this way:
The present order Of society re-
suits in tremendous economic waste.
Why is this so? Because there Is pro-
duction for profit instead of for use;
because we have a capitalist society
rather than a functional society.
How then can we build a functional
Tor organized) society 1t Is hrst
necessary to find out why Tie contra
dictions Of present society exist. scien-
[tifc research in this subject will show
that it is the class nature of society
which is responsible.
And now having come to the roots
Of the problem we are becoming able
to solve it. The end is the establish
ment OF an organized society. The
means is the elimination Of the class
structure of society and the building
of a classics society.
Mr.. Chase fails to approach the
problem in this manner and that is
why his engineering ends in futility
and mysticism. That is why his book
is a piece of craftsmanship and no en-
cheering at all, why in the statistics
themselves many errors are allowed
to remain such as the acceptance OF
religious activity as productive OF eco
nomic wealth, the statements that of
100000 prostitutes in America, 10000
(onlyl) are waste; out of 100000 Grim
inals, 100000 count as lost man pow
err; that of 100000 watchers of Grim
inals." only 100000 would be neces-
sary in a functional society.
There is a way out, Mr.. Chase. The
theory has been written and the prac-
tice is being worked out in Soviet
Russia where the beginnings are be-
ing made in the building OF an organ
lied society.

The Tragedy of Waste, by Stuart
Chase; Macmillan, N. Y, $3.50.
BY NORTH ]. LOEB.

ENGINEERING as a science has
IL been developed both from the
theoretical approach and emperically.
Its first laws were developed by the
trial-and-error method and later the
researches of the scientists were
brought to bear to develop the formu-
lac of practical engineering. Engin-
GERS being practical, people have one
most important demand to ask of
every theory and practice of their
trade: "Will it work."
The new book by Stuart Chase and
his associates of the labor bureau is
an attempt at engineering, social en-
gineering, and in such light it must be
considered. The task set is the de-
termination of what consists of eco
nomic waste in the United States, the
measurement of the amount of this
waste and how it may be eliminated.
Quite properly then, the first step is
the examination of human wants, for
it is in the satisfaction of these wants
by the production and consumption of
commodities that the waste arises.
Early in the book the authors make a
survey of these factors and state the
following to be the human wants, the
satisfaction of which involves econom-
ic activity: food; shelter; clothing;
language and education; recreation;
government and law; health provis-
ions; religion; art forms; love. If the
trial-and-error method is accepted
these may be adopted as the basis for
the work and any errors involved will
be exposed in the development of the
problem and eliminated.
The second part Of the task is then
taken up, the measurement of econom
&c waste Of labor power and natural
resources. Here the author-engineers
find 1t necessary to make a compari
son between society as 1t now exists
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-01-02


and astroIogy. The way out
turns on genuine science of social
psychology more than on any other
single factor" Emphasis mine,
M. ]. L.
Meanwhile we note the cooper
alive movement making steady
Roadway against waste in distribu-
tion-particularly in Europe-the
labor movement combining its de-
mand COR more democracy in indus
try with the realization that only
the lessening of waste can raise the
standard of living.
"And we note the gathering cleav-
age between the stock-and-bond
business men like Mr.. Gary and the
engineer business men like Mr..
Ford. Mr.. Gary sees industry prim
arily in terms of profitable invest
ment, while Mr.. Ford sees it prim-
arily in terms of service turned out
on a balanced load basis-with still
an eye to the profit and loss account
In short it is by no means
clear that the engineering type Of
business man will not ultimately
supersede the stock-and-bond type
and so usher in a functional society
of sorts while the radicals are still
! baying for the abolition Of the profit
system. This at least is Mr.. Z. A.
Filene's guess"
Let us imagine an instance in which
an industrial community had been es
tablished In surrounding which mad,
it possible for any food stuffs to BIZ
produced near by. Some distanc,
away there was rich agriculture
territory occupied by farmers who
while they grew foodstuffs far in ex
cess of their needs had no market fol
them and moreover had no access Il
any manufactured products. The citi
zens of these two communities me
together and decided to take action Il
overcome their difficulties. They callet
in engineers to help them. The en-
gineers took survey and census
They counted the population Of tn
city and computed is production
They did likewise fer the rural com
munity. They measured the distance
between the two points. Then the,
made their report. What is needed,
they said, "is railroad" The farm
ers and the city jewellers thought thi
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-01-02

Out Of a total of 100000 able
bodied adult population in the United
States it is therefore shown that con-
sentative computation of the lost man
power is more than so per cent. At
the same time it is shown that because
of the waste in the utilization of nat
ural resources, it would be possible,
if waste were eliminated, to more than
double the economic output without
any increase in the rate of consump-
ton of natural resources or in the
amount of labor power available.

Of the work is left for the last four
pages of the book. Here in section

profit and a society which produces
for the satisfaction of human wants,
which the authors term functional
society"
Another engineer, Thorsten Veblen,
in his book, Engineers and the Price
Syster, treats this same subject from
the standpoint of production. Chase
also enters this field (from the prac-
tical viewpoint, avoiding the theory,
and goes beyond this to analyze the
economic waste in consumption, dis
tribution and idle man power. This is
done for the most part in thorough
and workmanlike manner. The find-
ings are stated to be:
In consumption, at least. 100000
