TALK GIVEN
FOR CHAMBER

Technocracy was outlined in the
form of a mathematical problem at
yesterdays Ell Centro Chamber OF
Commerce luncheon by Henry B.
Cramer, president of the Cramer
! Bakeries, Ltd. According to the
speaker, who has made a careful
study of technocracy, the total in
stalled horse power of the country
times the energy conversion equals
the total wealth. Energy CONVEX
sion is another term for mental en-
ergy and yardstick for measur-
ing this quantity is what techno-
Gratis are now working on.
If one divides the total wealth of
the nation by the number of fam
lilies, obviously the answer is the
amount each family could have to
live on. This amount has been es-
timated at $4,000 per year. The
speaker stGted that he believed
this an unnecessarily high amount
if, as technocracy DEGREES, the
amount must be spent every year.
The total wealth, which means the
total amount of commodities, may
be divided into individual commo-
dities, and if each of these is di-
vided by the number of hours re-
quired in each individual line to
supply the country with this COM
modify, the answer is the total man
hour necessary to supply the ma
tion'S commodities. Total man hour
in turn, divided by the number of
workers, gives the two hour day per
person which technocratS deem
necessary to supply the country
with its needs.
According to this plan, stated
Cramer, there are just two things
of value, land, which includes all
natural resources, and human en-
ergy or labor. The plan of provid-
ing for older people, according to
his understanding would be similar
to the army and navy pensions now
used A man, during his working
years, would set the standard which
he would be capable of earning and,
upon retirement, he would be pro-
fided with an amount equal to the
yearly standard he had set, just as
an enlisted man gets certain pen
sion and officers pensions are de-
termined by the individual rank.
Getting away from technocracy,
Cramer told of plan which has
been put forth whereby the govern
ment can be run without taxes. Ac-
cording to this plan certain pieces
Of r1rOnprtV have prp1 fer site value
than others and property would
pay six per cent of the site value,
which would furnish enough money
to run all governments, national,
state, county and city. 1t would also
relieve the farmer as farms have a
low side value if based on the run
down value of the farm minus all
improvements, which is the basis
for site value.
T. D. Mccall traced the develop
ment of civilization in a brief talk
at the chamber luncheon and point
ed out that machinery has put
man out of work, taking away in
dividual security. Our only hope,
he stated, is to liquidate by bank
ruptcy and to make homes free
from taxation and confiscation, SO
each man will be able to have the
security of a home of his own. Nc
Call also advocated a monopoly on
debts by the government, whereby
the three per cent interest which
would be charged would pay all
government operation.

laps Back Gold, Ready
To Consider Silver Plan

GEOLOGICAL MUSEUM, Lon
don, June 13 QN.S0.-Early re-
turn to the gold standard was
urged today by Viscount Kikujiro
IShii, chief japanese delegate, in
speech before the World Eco
nomic Conference.
In the meantime, however,
Ishii said, Japan is ready to
give consideration to proposals
for appropriate solution of the
silver problem"
Ishii said Japan favored gold
stabiliZation, but added that "the
task involves extensive prepara-
ton internally and information
ally, with consideration of the
economic and financial condi-
tions of individual countries" He
said:
Permanent solution is neces-
sary, but undue haste is dan
gerOuS, for if breakdown &C.
ours, the consequences would
be appalling.
"The recent inter-gOvern-
mental conversations at Wash
ingtOn, made possible through
the good will and kind offices
Of President Roosevelt, must
have paved the way to sOlu-
tion Of vital questions"
The conference, Ishii said, must
solve the currency and credit
problems and reduce tariffs. He
asserted:
"The raising Of price levels
should also be given COnsidera-
ton"
Viscount Ishii said he favored
interim obviation of exchange
fluctuations pending final return
to gold" and added:
"The present circumstances
of heap money and Zee credit
should be pursued to . Ger.

World 0ratory Flows,

GEOLOGICAL USEUM,
LONDON, June 13 Q.N.SO.
simultaneously with Britain'S re-
ported determination to discon-
tinue debt payments to the
United States under the Bald
win agreement, the World Eco
nomic Conference listened for
hours today to the oratory Of
world statesmen.
Most of them directly or ind
rectly supported Prime Minister
j. Ramsay MacDonald's plea for
debt reduction on the basis OF
the Lausanne agreement, which
settled reparations at a dime
on the dollar.
AS the result of MacDonald's
speech and the expectation that
the British debt die would be
cast one way or the other TODAY,
Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
chief of the American delega-
ton, considered it necessary to
revise his speech and hence post

ence until tomorrow.
Hull Absent
Hull absented himself from
the conference, working out
changes in his speech with the
aid of advice from Washington.
The official explanation of his
non-appearance was that a
certain lapse of time was neces-
sary to obtain Washington s
approval of the alterations.
But there was reason to believe
that Washington and Hull agreed
it would be advisable to withhold
Americas voice until Chancellor
of the Exchequer Neville Cham
berlain has addressed the House
of Commons late tonight regard
ing the June Is payment, alluded
to previously by Premier Mac
Donald as an awkward hurdle" "

Premier Macdonald, as chair
man of the conference, announced
the list Of nations in the order
in which their spokesmen were
to speak. The United States
headed the list, but when Mac
Donald looked down upon the
American sector, he found it
wholly 'unoccupied. ,an
Macdonald then called Premier
Edouard Daladier, of France, who
was followed by Guido Jung, of
Italy; Viscount Kikujiro, of ia
pan; Gen. Jan Christian SHUTS,
of South Africa, and Pedro Cosio,
of Uruguay.
Deladier made no mention of
debts, but pressed for immediate
currency stabilization.
Jung supported MacDonald's
plea for immediate settlement of
the debts, while SHUTS observed
that the Lausanne agreement
placed a great responsibility on
the shoulders Of the United
States" obviously referring to
the necessity of a debt settlement
on the Lausanne basis.
McReynOlds, Cox Arrive
Throughout the speeches of
Daladier and Jung the American
sector presented a yawning gap.
Representative Samuel Mercy
nolds finally arrived, however,
followed by James M. Cox. They
were the only American delegates
present at the morning session.
AS a result OF overnight de.
velopments, Hull's speech is now
awaited with even greater inter
est than before.
The American policy from the
outset has been that there should
be no debt discussions by Ameri
can delegates to the conference.
