The Technocracy Question
Belief Drastic Changes Are Needed to Save Eco
nomic System Is Based on Rapid Increase
in Use Of Energy.

ing gains in the last century as in this
one to date.
F. G. Tryon Of the Institute OF Eco
Monies in Washington has written tnat
the industrial production OF nation
may be gauged by its use OF power.
He calculated an index Of energy con-
sumption between 1899 and 1925 and
found that, using 1899 as 100, con-
sumption in the United States increased
tC 3l0-about three times.
Going back to l849 and using actual
heat measurements, he calculated that
production in l849. not including water
power. Tor which there were no figures.
was l73 trilhon B. T, u, a measure OF
energy, that by 1899. including water
power. it was 7.246 trillion B. T. u.
and in 1923 it was 24,434 trillion b.
7. U.
Technocracy'S statistics are that total
energy production in ls40 was IS tril-
lion B. T U and that 1t was 2700O
trillion B. T. U. in l929-a gain OF
$50 times
Computation Methods Differ.
Technocracy said most OF this in
crease has occurred since 1900, when,
according TO technocracy. production
was 2,640 trillion B. T. U. The latter
figure compares to Tryon's 7.246 trillion
B T. U. for 1899. The two groups Of
statistics may not be exactly comparable,
due to differences in methods OF COM
putation. They are similar for the last
decade. however.
Neither set OF figures makes COM
parable calculations relating the growth
OF energy to growth in population. Since
population increased. the per capita
gain of energy was not as great as the
total gain.
Tryon calculated that energy con-
Sumed increased at ABOUT the rate OF
S to per cent per year after 1899. as
compared to an increase in the physical
volume of production of 4 per cent per
year Comparing 1899 to 1916. Tryon
found that population gained a total of
80 per cent; physical volume Of agricul-
tural, manufacturing and mining pro-
duction and railroad transportation IN
creased a total of 80 per cent and en-
eIRy production $50 per cent.
AS to what machines used this en-
ergy. Carol Roop Daugherty, in a
United States Geological Survey bull
letin, has calculated that. using 1899 as
100. capacity to use power increased
from l6 to 1929 If automobiles are in
cluded If autos are not included, the
change was from l6 to 399
This indicates that much more than
half of the consumption OF energy was
accounted for by the automobiles in
using oil and gas and that by excluding
autos from the general computations of
B. T. U. the gains would not seem so
important as an influence on produc-
ton.

NEW YORk.-Enerey is technoc-

1t is on the basis of the rapid increa Sc
In the use Of energy that Howard Scott.
technocracv's director. has stated that
drastic changes must be made in this
economic system to save 1t from pos
sible collapse.
Technocracy is the name of q group

make a technical analysis which, if
successful, the technocratS believe would
indicate necessary corrections in the
economic system.
ScOtts Three Reasons.
Here is why Scott believes energy is
SO important:
/. For all the years of mans history
up to about 1900. he used the energy
resources of the earth at about the rate
Of 1000 calorieS per capita "a measure

devices which need energy. Then sud-
denly the machines came, and today
man uses about 10000 calories per

change materially his methods of di-
recting society. What change there was
probably occurred at a rate similar to
the rate at which it has changed in AL
history. In other words energy flowed
into the social mechanism at a rate en-
tirely new in history. and society was
not prepared to cope with that change.

ratively speaking. in an oxcart equipped
with q 1,000-horsepower airplane en-

become increasing difficult.
Others Stress Power.
Other economists have stressed the
importance OF power, but some Of them
object to the greater stress which tech
nocracy has given it. They further con-
slider that q comparison between 1900
and now is not particularly revealing,

FEAR RECOGNITION |
OF SOVIET RUSSIA.
G. 0. P. Preparing to Guard
Present Policy Against
Democrat Shift.

By the Associated Press.
Some Republicans in Congress seek
to make certain that the incoming
Democratic administration will not
liberalize the present American atti-
tude toward Soviet Russia.
Such an effort today came to light
through announcement by Chairman
Collier that he would ask the House
Ways and Means Committee what it
wants TO do about his bill barring i'm
portation of goods produced by forced
labor.
The bill will be put before the COM
mtttee after it finishe. its impending
study OF the tax situation. The anti
recosnitionists in Congress already have
pushed their campaign so far that rep
resentatives Of labor, veterans and nu-
merous other organizations have been
asking Collier to grant hearings on his
measure.

foreign countries might at least touch
on the question OF the CZarist debts re-
pudiated first by the Bolshevists and
then By the Communists. That, say
