COMMISSION ON TECHNOCRACY
APPOINTMENT IN NEW YORK
Recognising at least tacitly the general interest in the technocracy group, which is charting the effects of technological unemploy- mont, And which has brought, about its head much criticism Columbia University, against where the group is working, Dr. Nicholas M. Butler, President of! Columbia University, hns nounced the appointment of a Com- mission of economists and publicista to "consider the whole question of the effect of recent technological advance, particularly as manifested! in mass production, its effect on economic processes and social wel- {fare."
an-
The announcement does not men- tion the technocracy group, and the commission does not include any of its members, but it is regarded in some quarters as designed to answer the criticisms which some theories of the technocrats have brought upon the University.
Six-fold Programme.
Mr. Butler announces a sixfold programme for the Commission's Inquiry, including:
(1) The part which the price: system is playing in the direction of production.
(2) An analysis of the relation- Jahip between income, Investment, (and production within the present
system.
(3) Examination of the fonsili lity of prico control to maintain stability both of internal prices and International exchange.
(4) Examination of the adequacy of the present monetary systems under modern industrial conditions. (6) Examination of the economic consequences of the improvement of productive technique.
(6) Formulation of policies from a survey of the foregoing problema. Headed by Mr. Robert H. Maclver, Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University, the Com- mission includes ten other Profes- sors, and such publicists and eco- |nomists as Mr. Edmund Day, of
Rockefeller Foundation; Mr. Walter { Lippmann, journalist; Mr. Ben jamin Anderson, of the Chase Na- tional Bank; and Mr. Georg Soule, of the "New Republic.","
Mr. Butler says the inquiry will déal particularly with the difficulties arising from the fact that the technique of exchange have evolved semi-independently and are not now functioning harmoniously.
