Technocracy has only half
facts, reinforced by speculative
theory, with which to fight back.
But just wait" say the techno-
Gratis, until we have all our data
ready"
Many physical scientists, as
well as economists, politicians,
industrialists, now are among the
doubters of the new philosophy of
national technical control.
But Howard Scott, chief techno-
crat, is confident that once his
fact-finding project is finished,
and the complete functioning of
our social mechanism" has been
pictured in blue-prints, the world
can do nothing other than believe.
Engineers may differ in politi-
cal and social beliefs" Scott said,
but not as scientists. Engineers
as such can be neither radical nor
conservative; given facts, they can
not disagree.
IF we provide them with all
the data on what is happening
industrially to this country they
will reach the same conclusion"
DUT why did Technocracy be-
ID gin its work? Was it not nee
essary to make an unScientific as
sumption that there was some
thing wrong with our present
system before starting out to dis
cover scientifically what was the
matter with it?
Let Professor Walter Rauten-
strauch, head of the industrial en-
cheering department of Columbia
university, and host to the Tech
nocratS, answer this one:
mo" he said. 1--WE started on
perfectly valid observations. If we
had a power plant, for instance,
that failed to respond automat-
ically to increased or Iightened
loads, we would know it was out
OF adjustment.
We have seen our social mech
aniSm get farther and farther out
of adjustment. Industrial en-
ployment goes down; production
goes up. Consumption doesn't
keep pace with production; but
debt goes Skyrocketing.
"Depressions follow booms; but
each succeeding period of prosper
lty is shorter and each depression
is lower and of longer duration. It
is like a huge machine shaking
itself to pieces"
Here are some other observa-
tons of the Technocrats:
For 1000 years mankind had to
depend on the human body for
energy, and no change was
effected in the rate of doing work.
Then James Watt and his steam
engine started revolution.
In the last 100 years. with steam
and electricity, we have multiplied
our energy resources 5000 900
times. Scott says that of his ac-
celeration, 8,766,O have occurred
since 1900.
n n
A 5 Tor production increases,
L n there are almost as manv
Slgnltlcant examples as there
are machines: Five days once were
required to make a pair of shoes:
today one workman can make
Slxty-eight pairs in that time.
Old-time brick-makers produced
about $50 per day per man; a
modern Straight-line plant can
make as many as 100000 a day
a man.

Stamford, Conn, Oct 20.-(UP) Stanley High. national prohibit ton leader, urged election of Presi- dent Hoover and defeat of Senator Hiram Bingham before the state convention of the Women's Chris tian Temperance Union here. High said Governor Franklin D. Roose- welt would have too many debts to pay" If elected. "If the drys are so blinded because President Hoover doesn't wear their particu- lar ribbon or sign on their dotted line that they let him be defeat ed," said High, then you are going to see Hearst decide our foreign policies and others write our liquor laws"
 High said of Alfred E. Smith, 'ff we had elected him, at leagt we would have put a courageous man in the White House. one who would either have enforced the prohibit tion law or gotten rid of It."

Chief Glassford Is
 Done With Police
(Continued from Page 1)

During these disputes there were repeated reports that Glassford would resign or be forced out of as police chief.
 Tn his letter of resignation, sub- mitted to the district commission CTS, GIassford criticized a situation which he said "has been one of the chief reasons for difficulties and failures in the police departments of too many of our cities"
 - T find myself" he wrote, "in the equivocai position of 50 many other police chiefs in the United States, namely holding a position Of great responsibility but deprived .of the essential authority to dis charge 1t without fear and without favor"
 Giassford's latest dispute with the commissioner was only one of a series which began during the bonus army occupation. Some of his tactics were criticized then by board members, who charged he was too lenient in handling the marchers.
 He had sought removal of In- spector Frank Burke as chief of detectives, on general grounds and flor the efficiency Of the service. aThe recommendation, considered at last nights meeting was not acc cepted. .t Giassford was appointed head of the police force a year ago. He came here from his ranch in Ari- zona to which he had retired after his service in the regular army. He was a graduate of West Point, and saw service in France during tho war.
 After the eviction of the bonus army last July, Glassford became embroiled in q heated controversy with administration figures over the necessity of use of troops in evicting the veterans. He denied, aa Attorney General Mitchell as- serted, that he personally had ad- mitted the situation had become out of hand due to the bonus
