COMMISSION ON TECHNOCRACY
APPOINTMENT IN NEW YORK
Recognising at least tacitly the general interest in the technocracy group, which is charting the offacts of technological unemploy
montit hend much criticism
and which has brought
against Columbia University, where the group is working, Dr. Nicholas M. Butler, President of Columbia University, has 11- nounced the appointment of a Com- mission of economists and publicists to "consider the whole qucation of the effect of recent technologien advance, particularly as manifested in mass production, its effect on economie processes and social wal- fare."
The announcement does not men- tion the techanerney group, and the commission does not include any of its members, but it is regarded in some quarters as designed to anwar the criticisms which some theorics 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- ship between Income, investment, and production within the present system.
(3) Examination of the feas(h' lity of price control to maintain atability 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.
(8) Formulation of policies from a survey of the foregoing problems. Headed by Mr. Robert H. Maciver, Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University, the Com- mission includes ten other Profes sors, and such publiclats and eco- nomists as Mr. Edmund Day, of Rockefeller Foundation; Mr. Walter Lippmann, Journalist; Mr. Bon- jamin Anderson, or the Chase No- tional Bank; and Mr. Georg Boule, of the "New Republic."
Mr. Butler says the inquiry will deal particularly with the difficulties arising from the fact that the technique of exchangó havo evolved} semi-Independently and are not now functioning harmoniously,
