Todav'S Crisis

Il banks in the United States
failed, life went on without great
changes in the populations mode
of living, because a large proper
ton of the people lived on the land

continues.
Few depended on the success

5 per cent.

situation. is shockingly different.
Today the welfare of the entire
population depends on the indus
trial system.
Even farmers living on the soil
are no longer f-suficient, owing
to the intense specialization which
has developed in modern agricul-
ture.
and the production of energy
per capita, the barometer Of our
standard of living, has gone down
more than 80 per cent during the
present crisis.
"America has built up a highly

IF America is to continue to

American Worker Is Branded
as Most Poorly Paid in the
World.
NEW views on many subjects
IN have become the fashion since
the depression. Nevertheless, it may
surprise many readers to hear the
American worker referred to as 1.-THE
poorest paid in the world"
That, however, Is the opinion Of q
group of independent industrial en-
gineers who call themselves Tech
nocracy."
They are making what they call
an energy survey Of North Amer
lea" in cooperation with the in
duStrial engineering department Of
Columbia university and the archi-
tects' emergency committee of New
York.
The Chinese coolie, so the engi-
neerS say, is rewarded richly for
what he produces in comparison
with the American worker.
A second bombShell hurled by the
engineers is a denial of the theory
that economic forces move in cycles.
In ancient Rome" says their re-
port, "a man was wealthy If he
owned 5000 slaves. Assuming each
slave to be healthy, strong and will
ing, this meant that the Roman
capitalist controlled 800 installed
horsepower during eight hours Of
each day.
The American of today, operating
large farm, controls at least 500
installed horsepower, what with his
lighting plant, his tractor, his auto.
his water pump, and other farm
machinery"
Five Thousand Slaves
THIS means that the American
l. farmer has at his disposal the
equivalent of 5000 slaves, the report
continues.
But his machinery is at his dis
poSal twenty-four hours a day, and
the number of slaves he owns there
fore is tripled," the report goes on.
ut took 100, 1000 men twenty years
to build one of the Great Pyramids.
Recently handful of American
laborers, working on the Mesabi
range, moved greater tonnage of
ore in three weeks.
These scattered comparisons give
some idea of the tremendous gap
between our present industrial sys-
tenn and any that heretofore has
existed.
For the first time in history the
human being has become insignifi-
cant as an energy producing unit.
For, while there is one billion in
stalled horse power in the United
States today, only. 100000 men are
required to direct this tremendous
force.
TN other words, 100000 men,
representing o0,00O-horse power,
can do the work ten billion men,
representing the one billion IN
stalled horse power, could have done
under any previous industrial sys-
tenn.
"The standard of living in any
civilization depends on the amount
of energy per capita applied to the
raw material used by that system.
1.-THE amount of energy per capita
exerted in America today is sew
enty-seven times greater than it
was a century ago."

SOVIET PAPER
FAILS JAPAN
Charges Nippon MiIitaristS
Seek to Provoke War.
By United Press

By United Press
MOSCOW, April Is. - Soviet
Russia's alarm over the possibility
of serious disturbances in Man
churia was reflected today in news
paper headlines while editorial COM
ment accused Japanese militarists
for seeking a pretext for war with
the SovietS.
An editorial in Pravda said Jap
anese imperialists are preparing for
further war activity outside Man
churia. If they need a pretext, it
will not be difficult to create pro-
vacations. The imperialists' policy
follows a definite purpose-to trans
form occupied territory into a hot
bed of further adventures"
Pravda concluded that if 'the
peaceful spirit of the Soviet Union
is interpreted by Japanese i'm
perialists as proof of our weakness
and our inability to defend the
frontier, it is so much the worse
for them"
Headlines on Manchurian news
throughout the nation denounced
alleged nti-Soviet plots at Hardin
in which White Russians were ac-
cused as serving as the tool of Jap
anese war makers. The report that
the American Atlantic fleet might
remain in the Pacific was regarded
as an indication of conflict between
the United States and Japan.
