development looks relatively insig-
niflcant. But it isn't. It is a grim
little signpost, reminding us = in
case anyone still doubted-that for
better or for worse, the replacement
OF human labor by machine labor
is going to continue.
1t is not merely a problem of the
big city; it is something that affects
far-away fishing villages just as il
affects big manufacturing centers
Now there is no use In bemoan-
ing this development, for it is as
certain and inexorable as death and
taxes. And, indeed, in the long
run, 1t cannot be anything but
tremendous boon to the race as
whole. Mankind is being relieved
OF drudgery; the mean, monotonous,
back-breaking jobs that once were
part OF the universal human lot
are being lifted off his back.
The trouble right now is that we
reap the temporary disadvantages
OF the process ahead of the per-
manent advantages. 1t is hard to
rejoice over relief from drudgery
when at the same time one is re-
lieved of the chance to earn a liv-
ing. The man who is put into a
breadline by the machine may be =
pardoned for viewing the machines
blessings with a jaundiced eye.
To say that We are living in
period of transition is trite-but
accurate. Our job now is to learn
how to translate the machines
achievements in terms of the we'll
being of the entire community.

Bruce Cation Says:>>
Machine Age Bound to Benefit Mankind

You cannot travel far enough
these days to get away from the
problem raised by mans invention
of machinery.
Ernie Pyle, rowing reporter, visit
ed Alaska recently and in the town
of Petersburg met a man who be-
lieves he has perfected a shrimp
picking machine.
Shrimp are relatively tiny crea-
lures which come out of the ocean
encaseo in little shells. Getting
them out of the shells so that they
can be canned has alway oeen
strictly hand-work, and quite few
people get jobs every year at the
canneries, doing this work.
But this chap whom Pyle stum-
bled across has spent 10 years
working on a machine to do the
work. He thinks, at last, that he
has it ready to go; he plans to in
stall 10 machines Immediately in
his cannery, and each machine will
do the work that 10 men used to
do.
The result is that even a small
fishing village in Alaska - which
you might suppose would be the
last place in North America to be
bothered by chronological unem-
ployment"-is going to get a taste
of the machine age. A certain
number of people who always, be-
fore this, could rely on several
weeks or months of steady work
will have to find something else to
do hereafter. Machinery has ad-
vanced one more little step along
the road toward the obsolescence OF
human labor.
This sort of thing has been hap
pening on such huge scale in the
last few decades that the Alaskan
