Men and Machines

IeStlmony calculated to direct
public attention to the problem of
chronological unemployment has
been received during the past few
days by the so-called Monopoly
Committee. The viewpoint of man.
agement has been presented by such
men as Edsel Ford and Charles r.
Hook, president of the American
Rolling Mill Company, while Philip
Murray, chairman of the Steel
Workers Organizing Committee, has
appeared as spokesman for labor.
These witnesses, needless to say, were
in fundamental disagreement on the
issue Of men VS.. machines.
Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Hook empha-
sized the long-range advantages to
workers and the public as a whole
OF labor-saving machinery. The
automobile manufacturer pointed
out, for example, that a car which
now sells for $700 would cost $1,000
If produced by hand labor. From
that he drew the obvious conclusion
that very few cars would be produced
and sold If it were not for labor
saving machines, and that very few
OF the workers now employed in
automobile plants would have their
Jobs.
Both men agreed that technology
ical developments cause some i'm
mediate displacement of individual
workers, but Mr.. Hook said that
such temporary dislocations are
inevitable in progressive society
and they need cause concern only
when the displaced workers are un-
able to find other employment with
out prolonged delay" If these other
fields Of employment are to be found,
he emphasized, prices of goods must
be kept down and the volume of sales
maintained at a high level. This,
in his judgment, can be accomplished
only through the use of labor-saving
machines.
Mr.. Murray, approaching the prob
lem from the point of view of labor
leader, was concerned primarily with
the fate OF displaced workers. He
did not urge that labor saving de-
vices be abandoned, but suggested
that their use should be regulated"
by Congress. Precisely what Mr..
Murray hoped for in this respect was
not made clear, but there is real
danger that regulation of the intro
duction of labor saving devices by
Congress might result in the serious
retardation of industrial expansion.
And certainly some of Mr.. Murray's
other proposals-payment of very
large dismissal compensation in all
cases and reduction of the maximum
work week to thirty hours at "pre-
vailing earnings or more"-would
materially increase production costs
and, incidentally, the sale price of
any commodity.
In the testimony Of these three
men there is presented clearly the
basic issue in the development of the
Nations Industrial plant. On the
one hand, there is the view that the
solution of our economic ills lies in
expanding production, lowering costs
and increasing sales. On the other,
there is at least an implied plea for
fewer machines and the safeguarding
OF workers who must be dismissed
by adoption Of methods that neces-
sarily would hamper industrial prog
ress. It is to be hoped that the
committee, before concluding its
hearings, will 60 deeper into this
matter and give the public the
benefit Of It's frank conclusions.

A census enumerator was held up
in nearby Virginia and robbed of all

balloon and came down in Tours. He
had started with two balloons, but the
other descended within the Prussian
lines. But Dagron had taken with him
large number Of carrier pigeons. He
produced long messages of military and
political importance on microfllm and
sent them back to Paris by the pigeons.
Since then there have been important
improvements In the medium, although
the principle remains the same. Not all
the books are reproduced on rolls Of Aim.
Some are reprinted on cardboard. These
cards can be filed like those Of . card
index. and when it is said that q 400.
page book can be reproduced on q card
hve by seven inches, 1t becomes obvious
that the storage and protection prob
lens are solved. The standard SPOOL or
reel now In use by libraries carries the
reproduction Of 5000 average book pages.
Much experimentation has been de.
voted to selection of Aim material. At
first nitrate cellulose base film vss
used, but as this is inflammable It was
soon rejected, and now the base is cellu-
lose acetate. which does not burn. But
OF equal importance Is the lasting quality
OF the film. The cellulose nitrate fllm
lasts only about IS years, while the ace
tate product lasts as long as rag paper.
While this is III very well for purposes
Of preservation or solution Of the stonsaD
problem, 1t is . safe guess that the love
Of books win endure and that there will
b libraries Of gracious volumes to read
long after this and many future vsrs
have muddled to their Pyrzhis ends.

The suggestion is being made that, If
long-term loans could be obtained, then
the allies probably would be willing to
buy an increased quantity of American
farm products and of other products
that are not vital for war purposes. The
suggestion also is made that If loans
cannot be obtained the allied countries
are going to be forced to c,rtail dras-
tically all purchases Of what might be
called peacetime goods.
AS result. the issue that is gradually
developing is this:
Should the United States prepare to
give larger subsidies and to impose
stronger controls on agriculture and
other industries dependent upon export
business in peacetime products or should
the United States decide to permit loans
to nations at war where the proceeds
from the loans are used In buying other
than war materials?
Immediately the question rises Of the
ability OF Britain and France to pay in
terest and principal to carry the loans.
Both of those nations defaulted ON the
payments they agreed to make when
they borrowed the last time. The an
swer now being made to that question is
that definite plan could be devised to
assure that after the war part of the In
come realized by the British from sale
of essential materials, such as rubber
and tin, could be assigned to pay on the
long-term loans that might be author
lied.
At this time, however, there is no SEN
ttment in Congress for . change In the
Neutrality Act to permit loans. Con-
gressmen still are expecting that cash
spending by the allies will be large
enough to provide prosperity for every
one and that the cash viii last q long

He is risen, He is not here:
behold the place where they
laid Him Mark 1876.

They looked for the body of
Jesus but did not find it. They dar.
ed not look for an empty tomb, but
that is exactly what they discover
ed. We have a religion Of the
empty tomb. A Mohammedan was
once discussing religion with a
Christian and said. I'VE have a
tomb in Mecca which contains the
body of prophet. You Chris
tians do not know where your
prophet is BURNED" The Christian
had a ready answer: 1--WE have no
tomb because we have no corpse!"
Behold the empty tomb! We have a
Living Lord. Though not with us in
the body He holds sway owe un-
counted millions who are ready to
die for Him. He is a living reality
in the world today.
The victory Of Christ over death
sets our hearts longing for life af-
ter death, It is difficult for us to
watch our loved ones slip away
from us without our hoping for an
extension Of life beyond the grave.
When those bound closely to us by
the ties of affection go into that
undiscovered country from whose
bourne no traveller has ever return

upon deaths dark mystery. There is
something within US that tells us
that death does not end it all.
Our belief in the immortality of
tie soul is bound up with u faith
in God. Our God is not the God of
the dead but of the living. God is
life. Everything that is has its
source in Him. If the life that
comes to an individual at birth orr
ginated in God, so also the life that
passes out of the body at death re-
turns to the God who gave it. Made
in the image Of God we live n AS
long as God lives We cannot die.

He is not made of perishable stuff.
A tree in California is said to be

1t ought to last longer. When Alice

Text: Matthew 1851; 1856.
BY WILLIAM e. GILROY, d. D.
Editor of Advance

Jesus had active disciples who
were near to Him in fellowship
from day to day and who shared
directly in His earthly mission.
Among these particularly were the
IL whom He had called from their
various occupations, and whom we
now call "the Apostles" One of
these, Judas, proved a traitor, but
It is reasonable to think Of his
place as being taken by St. Paul.
There were others, however, in
the background, who evidently had
been greatly attracted to Jesus by
His personality and teaching, and,
perhaps even in these last exper-
fences, by His calmness and dignity
under persecution. Among these
vas Joseph Of Arimarthea, a
wealthy man and a member OF
the Sanhedrin, the Jewish Council,
We do not know much concerning
Joseph. It is quite possible that his
adherence to Jesus had come about
through what he witnessed as a
member Of the Council.
At any rate, Joseph now came
forward openly, at a time when
it might have been really danger
Gus to do so, and asked that he
might have the body Of Jesus to
give it burial. He laid the body in
his wi new tomb which he had
hewn out Of the rock; and. thus,
Joseph and the tomb became hon
orably associated with what a great
Christian leader has described as

OF doubt on many points, it is not
strange that stories should differ
concerning an amazing event that

there was anything approaching

Inc a c that the New Testament
stories Of the Resurrection do not
agree at every point makes it nlain
nat there was no fabrication of a
story on the part Of those who
were all agreeing to say the same
thing.
Ihe important thing is what all
