The it. Pleasant news Light Snow a Horn am these Days j by George e. Sok Sisky our hanging times i the new chemistry electronics j nuclear physics the reduction of j time and Pace have changed our w cd id. Never before in history have men seen so much happen in so Short a tune so much that us fundamental. Many do not have either tin knowledge or the under. To Riding to grasp the vast social and economic changes that Are the inevitable results of new Cornin replacing traditional ones Hie dislocation of Cotton Wool silk rubber hemp by fabrics made in the chemist s test tubes As a result it cur greater knowledge of the molecule and its combinations is bound to influence the ways of life of millions of human beings. Electronic and nuclear physics Are Only on the verge of being related t a everyday Lite. One Day. J we shall not Only hear the beep of the sputnik but we Shah use neither Coal nor water nor Petroleum for Light heat and Power. One Day. It will be possible to slip an atomic Pellet into a device to run an automobile or a Railroad Tram or a Stet i Plant 01 anything. Or we May even be Able to use an instrument that will c if til and list the rays of the Sun to store Power As an Oak stores life. We Are about to witness tile total elimination of space for if a sputnik can orbit the Earth there a no limits to what May be d be by Power and Speed and human imagination. And to All this and More the s Cill order must respond of Man is to survive these changes. For instance we new know that War is devastating beyond any targets that May be set. That Means that j the instruments of War Are such that their use cannot be limited to the intentions of Tho re who n e Tiem. The fall out of a Hydrogen bomb does not take place on the Day the bomb is shot. Radioactive strontium a killer May remain in a the atmosphere for Many years and May come Down in drops of rain not us it on the enemy but anywhere even upon him who shot the bomb and it could so devastate his soil As to turn Rich lands into a desert and it could destroy the Bones of All anime is of the Field and of Man. Who dares to use such an instrument of War until a Way is found to harness its destructiveness in time and space and who dares to use Many other devices of destruction which once we discovered the secrets of the a them Isth it Are now limitless in their combinations by either fission or fusion vol.

Finally last year the student in terms of the social order the mechanical Era has changed its apogee in automation which could if carried Forward logically j make it wholly unnecessary to employ human labor for most j tasks of production and distribution. The first results we Are beginning to witness in Ute protein Zati on of the Middle class which is occurring in Many parts of the world in fact in much of the world the Middle class has already disappeared Only Hie rulers exist and the ruled. The elimination of the Middle class alters the nature of our society altogether. It makes the manager of a Plant an employee and the owner of its capital so Remote from a business As to have no direct Intel t in it but to be concerned Only with the net return on an investment the shares to be bought and sold without an emotion. For wherein does four percent Livre differ from four per cent there in fact so Remote does owner Earp become that it is actually no difference As to whether an Enterprise us privately owned or publicly owned which explains Why even in the United states there is no effective Organ left to defend the capitalist system per be. Those who speak up for what they Call a private Enterprise generally have foggy notions As to what they believe they Are Only too often of the managerial class who own no Enterprise themselves and would lather split the spoils with such a one As Walter Reuther than suffer Tho Wrath of the stockholders should the four per cent not be f rth comm Over a principle few Are willing to die for a principle those Days or even to risk lasing i a Job it is a new Era which needs to be studied closely As it moves along i its destiny to fulfil.
