pert, have become interested in the proposition and are working with the two original companies.
 MT Nunan, Resident Manager of the New England Fish Com pany, at Ketchikan, was recently in Petersburg, got 7l% of the fleet membership there to sign the agreement. We understand suc- cess is also being made at Ket- chikan and Seattle to interest the fishermen in this plan.
 Regarding the local situation, a meeting was recently held with the fishermen and while they were interested in the plan, as a whole, they could not see their way clear to operating on freezing advances which would not cover production costs.
 Until some change or increase is made on the advances proposed, we do not know what action will be taken locally. At present the are negotiating with the four companies to get the advance making it possible for them to operate and make it pos sible to receive, at least, outfitting and productions.
 "In Seattle tho fishermen have agreed to have fares pooled and all return received for the period of each week would be divided equally among the boats according to the weights delivered. In this way an average would be struck in prices received and all boats share according to the weights
 We understand that this plan would be part of any sales agree ment which may go into effect"

SITUATION OF
 HALIBUT MEN
 IS UNCERTAIN
Immediate Future of Indus- try Not Overly Bright
 Says Wallis George

Though the situation of the halibut fishing industry at the present time is uncertain, and does not look overly bright, it is hoped that the prices can be adjusted and that the fishermen might at least break even," Wallis George, President and General Manager of the. Juneau Cold Storage Company said today.
 Organizations of fishermen are working at the present time with the San Juan Fishing and Pack ing Company. Sebastian Stuart Fish Company, the Canadian Fish and Cold Storage Company, of Prince Rupert, and the New Eng land Fish Company, to reach some agreement whereby a sufficient ad- vance can be made to the fisher men to make it possible for them to operate and, if possible, receive at least, outfitting and production costs, MT. George said
 Agreement Reached
 Though an agreement was reach-, ed last winter between the Fish. ing Vessels Association, and the San Juan Fishing and Packing Company and Sebastian Stuart Fish Company, ninety percent of the fishermen, were required to sign it before it became operative. This percentage has not been reached as the advance guaranteed was not sufficient in many. cases to permit the fishermen to operate until the end of the season. The present negotiations are in an ef- fort to modify this agreement to ease the present situation.
 "The agreement as it stands, was reached after the Fishing Vessels Association had approached the two companies mentioned, to see if they could cooperate in establishing a minimum price for the 1883 production" MT. George said. "The companies agreed and made the following proposition which was approved by the As- sociation:
 "The halibut boats would place their fares on the exchange upon their arrival in port, open to bid- ding from all concerns. Any time they did not receive prices above 6 and 4 cents a pound in Seattle, 51z and 3 in Prince Rupert, of 5 and 3 in Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg or Juneau, they would withdraw them from the exchange and turn over the same to the San Juan Fishing and Packing Company or the Sebastian Stuart fish Company for freezing pur- lposeS.
 Il Receive Advance
 I "On this fish, fishermen would receive an advance of 5O@o of these minimum prices, or 5 and 2 in Seattle; 2A and 11a in Prince Rupert or 21s and IF in Ketchi- kan and other Southeast Alaska ports.
 N "The companies would hold the
 fish in storage and endeavor to sell for, the best obtainable prices
 next winter. After the sale was
 realized, storage costs would bt

had that the goods were stolen, that
he knew they were stolen and that he
actually received them and sold them
to retailer. This involves evidence Of
many people in widely scattered States.
The attention of the crime commission
was called to this matter by the prose-
cutting attorney of Philadelphia, who
had what he considered clear case
but who was unable to prosecute it be
cause it involved the bringing OF
numerous witnesses from California.
There were no funds available for this
purpose, and the only way of getting
the witnesses to appear was voluntarily.
This kind of theft is an interstate
crime, and while the commission is

tion of crime, because the States are
all jealous of their individual police

able exception. The remedy was prac-

Gated. Any police officer or district
attorney will tell you that there is un-
doubtedly a well-knit association of
fences throughout the country, who
order goods from the gangsters as they
would order them direct from the man
ufacturers.
In its investigation the Crime Com
mission found an apparently well docu-
mented case where a retailer in the
Far West was anxious to procure GER
tain particular grade of silk that he
could sell at bargain prices to discom-
fit his rivals. He made his wants
known to fence, who, of course,
posed as perfectly reputable whole
saler. The fence sent word to the State
in which the manufacturer was located,
saying that he was in the market for
several hundred bales of this particu-
lar silk.
Within a week the silk mill was raided
by an armed gang, the night watchman
killed and several hundred bales of silk
loaded on a truck which disappeared
in the night and never was traced.
All kinds of laws have been passed
and proposed to mark textiles, particu-
larly on the selvage, so that stolen
property can be identified, but the
thieves are cleverer than the laws and
can remove identifying marks without
much trouble.

THREE thousand miles from Co

nocracy and the Energy Survey
Il of North America, we in Eu-
rope have been watching the
furur which this new doctrine has
been creating in the United States.
The word technocracy, which conjures
up the thought of the government of
this planet by engineers, appeals very
strongly to the American imagination
and. it may be added, this new doctrine,
semi-elementary and semi-technical,
has been launched in conformity with
the classic advertising methods OF
America. This is enough, especially
in time of depression, to fasten at
tention on a subject OF which we shall
no doubt hear a lot
Technocracy's initial idea-which,
however, is not nevis that up to a
very recent date wealth was measured
in terms of human labor and in terms
of raw materials and capital, but not
in terms of energy.
This new theory suggests that from
now on energy-meaning the whole OF
the natural forces used by man-be
used more and more as a measure Of
wealth. From the time of the ap-
pearance of the steam engine Invented
by Watt in 1859 humanity entered
into a new age, one which developed
the utilization of natural energy on a
grand scale and replaced simple human
energy, assisted by the beasts Of bur-
den. which had been the unchanged
method from the Neolithic period until
the eighteenth century.
1t is well to remember that the ma
chine has existed for only about a CEN
tury and a half, but 1t is really only
in the last 90 years that its intensive
use has had full range. Until quite re-

try was limited by its fertility and the

When Are We Old?

develop even quicker than production.
It is hardly six years ago that I found
the general opinion in the United States
to be that buying capacity could be ex-
tended indefinitely
But now we find that production has
increased at much more rapid rate
than consumption, and technical i'm
provements are SO constant that if you
wish to remain ahead of the game equip
ment must be continually renewed, even
before it has been fully paid for. Con-
sequence, business inSolvencies, at least
in the United States, are continuing to
increase, while the chronological unem-
ployment, brought about by the never
ceasing development of the machine,
diminisheS the consumers purchasing
power. 1t is vicious circle-the more
you overproduce, the fewer purchasers
you find! The more the people perform
these miracles Of manufacturing, the
more they find themselves the victims
OF industrial insolvency and unem-
ployment.
What can be done? Renounce, says
Mr.. Howard Scott, the system which
bases production on price and profit and
replace 1t by q system of distribution
based on certificates of energy. If I
understand it Alright, we should abandon
the economic measure of values and
substitute for it energy, which should
be the sole and realistic measure of
work and of wealth. Technocracy by
this means intends to establish national
distribution of the immense resources
which human technique will be capable
Of commanding in the future.
It goes without saying that no indi-
vidual effort could obtain such a result.
A government of engineers and scien-
lists, conforming more or less to the
dream of Renan, would be charged with
this superhuman technical organization.
1t will be objected that the destruc-
tive side in this plan is very strongly
evident, but that the constructive side
remains rather vague. And this whole
idea has been promulgated by the as
sociation of Science" with a riotous

100000 hours to accomplish a century
ago; four turbines of 100000 horse
power produce as much energy as all
the adult workers in the whole United
States! The consequence is that the
Importance of man, as a unit of labor,
is diminishing more and more-energy
takes the stage.
The repercuSsion of these incontest-
able facts on the labor market is well
known. You will find, in looking back,
that in any industry run on modern
lines, at first the number of workers
employed increased with the expansion
of the industry itself, until the mo-
ment when the machine (that is to say,
energy) commenced to replace the hu-
man arm; from then on the number
of arms employed began to decline,
while the quantity of energy needed for
each unit produced declined at the
same time
In the United States, from 1920 to
1929. industrial production increased
considerably, but the number Of work.
ers showed small decrease. Thus we
can see how prosperity-or, should we
say, great economic activity-can CO.
incide with notable amount of unem-
p1oyment. When I was in the United
States in 1925 remember noticing for
the first time this chronological unem-
ployment. Up until that time it had
hardly attracted my attention, but now
it is provoking good deal of anxiety,
and almost may say anguish. What
will become Of all these surplus arms
which are no longer necessary and
would not be necessary even with the
return of prosperity?
Up until the present the technocrats
have done nothing but verify phenom-
ena which have been observed for a long
time. But what conclusions do they
draw? They assert that the fantastic
technical progress of the last 25 years
has destroyed all the practical value of
the economic system under which we
live. With our present regime of pro-
duction We manufacture goods not to
