On the Otsui hand change must lie rational and when we move from one commodity to another dislocating communities impoverishing people we a cd to know what we Are Doine. An excellent example of a lust the of one product for another Means in the lives of people is the use of Imja Ortch residual Oil in Lead of Coal. Practically allot the residual Oil comes to this coir try irom Venezuela and we Are allowing is to come in As a sort of Good i Hebor policy just As the american a it eople an outlandish Price for col fee to please Brazil Colombia and other Coffee growing countries. But the import 11ion of residual Oil has brought such poverty to the people of the state of West Virginia that they Are Back in the ugliness of the depression. Several years ago i called amen Tibel in this column to the peril to the Coal Industry which was then dying and i was attacked with undue violence by those who said that the world could never do without Coal. 0 0 o increasingly. The world has Learned How to substitute other products for Coal just As the Day is not Distant when atomic a nervy or some other device perhaps solar Energy will produce the Light and heat and Power that we require. But what will become of people what will they do for a living will our society so Cnair. That we shall know How to provide Lor a wordless population residual us is an excellent example of the mischief that can be done to human beings. As senator Robert c.

W Hen i hey sought to pre it i t the application to machinery and locomotion. Their answer proved wrong. Machines made jobs. The More machinery the great r the output the More jobs became available at higher wages and families lived on an increasingly higher Standard of life.

A period of human history which we do not understand and the consequences of which we cannot foresee no one can Prophesy what will be style and fashion of another age. What for instance has happened to the great silk Industry Rayon Nylon orlon and Many other products Are used As substitutes for various silk and women a products and even for furs. A Lent becomes of the Basic Industry silk the answer is that we need to recognize that technical changes w u produce loss of work temporarily. It is to fee assumed. The fear is that the displacement of workers May become permanent.
