THE INDUSTRIAL
MACHINE AS
A SCAPEGOAT
Start a discussion of the unem-
ployment problem—anywhere, with
anyone, ait any time—and you are
certain to toe talking about techno-
logical unemployment before you
get through.
The machines that can do man’s
work better, faster, and more effi-
ciently than he can do It himself
have had a lot of publicity, and
they are spectacular in their own
right. It is obvious and natural to
assume that these machines have
taken away job&—that they are,
therefore, responsible for a Large
part of our unemployment.
But there is another side to it.
At a recent meeting of the Amer-
ican Engineering Council in Phila-
delphia, Prof. Leo Wohnan of Col-
umbia University showed how tech-
nological progress can prevent un-
employment ait- the same time that
It causes St.
The three American industries
which have undergone the least
technological changes since the
World War, said Prof. Wolman, are
coal mining, building construction
and railroading That means, in
simpler language, that .there has
been less displacement of men by
machinery in these industries than
In any others.
Yet it is precisely these three in-
dustries, he continued, which re-
covered the least between the depth
of the depression and the peak, of
recovery last year; it. was also these
three industries which suffered the
greatest unemployment during that
tame period.
All of which compels one to re-
examine this question of technolog-
ical unemployment.
Prof Wolman’s figures make It
•eem fairly obvious that—over the
tong pull at least.—labor-saving
machinery does not permanently
displace labor It may for short

periods, of course; but in the long I
run, it apparently stimulates the
industry’ involved, and industry
generally, enough to take up the
slack.
Conversely, the worker's job is
not safe-guarded if -his industry
steers clear of technological ad-
vances. For the price of good health
in this modem industrial commun-
ity includes a searching, unflagging
attention to all possible avenues
through which work may be done
and goods produced at lower and
lower unit costs. The worker gains
little through the retention of old
handicraft methods of work, if the
very retention of these methods
helps to sink his industry deeper in-
to the depression.
It seems fairly clear that the real
villain In the piece is not technol-
ogy at all.
We might more profitably hunt
for it among the intangibles —
among the fear and suspicion which
interrupt foreign trade, among the
myriad national and international
currents which produce fear in
place of confidence, among the pre-
judices and blindnesses which keep
men from getting along with one
another harmoniously.
By blaming the machine we are
simply doing a poor job of trying to
cover up our own shortcomings.

1 V/iy the Swedes Came
To the New World
T\JO dazzling dream of exploration
stirred the average Swede in
1638. He was perfectly contented
at home. There was no religious
persecution, taxes were not high,
there was no social oppression, no
overcrowding of population.
Then came Peter Minuit, Dutch
soldier of fortune who had served
as general manager of the Dutch
New Amsterdam, or New York.
Minuit brought tall tales to Swe-
den and the promise of great riches
in furs and probably gold. But
even then the first immigrants
had to be drafted, many of them
as a punishment for being in dis-
favor with the government. There
were Finns who had run afoul of
the poaching law and army desert-
ers and debtors, altogether not a
promising band of colonists.
But promising or not they set
sail from Sweden In Minuit’s two
Chips, the Kalmar Nyckel and the
Pogel Grip, and more than four
and a half months later, moved
•lowly up the Delaware, a weary
group of ISO. They landed, on
what If the present site of Wil-
Biington, Del., April 8,1838, erected
• fort on Christina creek, and
promptly named the country New
Sweden. The ship Kalmar Nyckel

AUSTIN (UP)--One of the most
prized volumes In the Stark Library
at the University of Texas is the
work of a celebrated English math-
ematician. But it does mot deal
with mathematics, and the name of
the mathematician, Charles Lut-
widge Dodgson, is not on it.
Instead, the title of the book is
“Alice Underground”, and the au-
thor’s name is given as Lewis Car-
roll. To most persons the stony of
“Alice Underground” is familiar as
“Alice in Wonderland.”
The book in the university library
“Iodine” was taken from U
Greek word meaning “violet,” b
cause of its violet-colored vapor.
