BIRTH CONTROL FOR
TECHNOCRkCY

(ChriStian Science MOnltor)
A London columniSt, reflecting on the
increasing menace of the bombing plane
and other portentS of natural science,
wonders why board of natural scien-
fists and philosophers might not be set
up to license new inventions according
to whether they may be desirable or not
in the community.
The proposal Is not a new one. Two
years ago Lord Stamp in Britain was
advocating a sort of chronological birth
control" to limit the influx of new ma
chimes and inventions to the true needs
of industry. while the British Associa-
tiOn for the Advancement of Science
has in successive years shown itself
deeply concerned by some consequences
of the unrestricted march of discovery.
a considerable proportion of the new
inventions taken into the social life of
the community are labor-saving devices
or devices which in one way or another
bring profits to industry or business. To
interpOSe ban on such inventions raises
prompt and powerful opposition from
the interests affected. On the other hand
the diSlocation and distress caused by
ill-assimilated innovations more general
ly falls upon small and less articulate
groups of workers. The general public
usually shows itself rather appreciative
of the extra cheapness or comfort or
other advantages of a novelty in the
market than critical of its less desirable
attributes. Hence the balance tends to
favor freedom as opposed to restriction
of discovery.
Nevertheless invention has been so far
understanding the ability to assmiate,
and in some conspicuous ways is becom-
ing so destructive that even democratic
governments are asking whether free
dom will not be better served by some
restraint.

ONE WAY OUT FOR
SOME OF JOBLESS

Many classes and types make up the
army of millions that we lump under
the general heading "the unemployed.
One class is unemployable in any degree
of business prosperity or depression be-
cause of physical disabilities or other
drawbacks. Another class, though fit,
will be always with us because of nat
ural and deep rooted aversion toward
action in the form of work. Another
vast group includes skilled men who
have lost their inches because of buSl-
ness readjustment. The answer to the
problems faced by these folk is COM
plex one. However, there Is another group
whose problem is less complicated. Their
only lack is skill.
The employment office in Ell Centre
for some time has reported calls for
workers which the office was unable to
answer with applicants The calls were
for trained domestic help. On the relief
rolls in Imperial county are scores of
men and women, supposedly ready and
willing to work as soon as jobs are avail
able. And yet, more positions are open
for skilled home workers than can be
filled by the employment office. En-
ployment officials explain that many
relief clients are capable potentially and
willing to work but simply lack the neces-
sary training. Work in the modern home
is complex. A maid or cook must know
how to operate electric refrigeratOrs,
vacuum cleaners, complicated stoves, de-
vices that are Greek to many who
were raised in more modest homes of
another generation. In addition, there
are hundreds of small things in the very
technique of hOusewifery that many of
the women on relief cannot be expected
to know.
In San Diego a group of housewives,
facing the same shortage of skilled help,
organized classes and solved their own
problem Candidates for domestic jobs
event to school, under teachers recruit
ed from nearby school systems. who do
mated their time. Before long there were
enough trained to meet the demand IN
that locality and many, who had been
on relief rolls, again became self sup
porting The plan worked in that COM
munity, why couldn't it work in Imperial
Valley?
Many job classifications hover be-
tween the skilled and unSkilled designa-
tions. For example, rough gardening
work would ordinarily be classed as only
semi-skilled or unskilled. And yet job
less man who had formerly been clerk
would hardly know enough about garden
ing to hold down a job when competing
with gardeners who actually knew their
business. Short school classes in a score
of different lines could go far toward
equipping many of our unemployed to
find and hold jobs that otherwise would
be beyond their reach.

still an unpaid bill in 1888!
Nearly one fourth of California's
counties have failed to receive their por-

the current quarter. The funds due them
were applied, instead to loans made
these counties five years ago to provide
first-aid to reliefers.

the spice of county governments lives

contracted debts, putting districts and

1t takes a heap of funds to foot the ex-
penses local government is forced to run
up in a period of rising relief COSTS
For this reason the state budget for
1937-39 has reached a new high for
grants-in-aid to local communities, with
over half the total budget allocated for
that purpose,
