Doherty Gives $500,- 000 to Fund Asked By Scientist Group ' Kansas City, Sept. 10.—(#)—Henry L. Doherty has challenged the asser- tion of a fellow engineer that respon- sibility for the present unemployment situation rests upon applied science and has given $500,000 to obtain the facts. Dr. Roy V. Wright, president of the gineers and editor of Railway Age, is- sued the charge against engineers and scientists in a speech before the Na- tional Association of Power Engineers here Monday. The head of the Cities 4 American Society of Mechanical En-|- Service company answered him Wed- nesday. / Dr. Wright had said “distribution and consumption have been thrown out of balance with production” as a result of their work and “it is their business now to apply their science in correcting the situation of unemploy- ment.” Dr. Wright urged that engineers at- tempt to obtain $500,000 to find a remedy, saying the American Council of Engineers had “recognized the cae but so far has been unsuccess- Doherty announced, in a telegram to the Kansas City Journal-Post, that he had wired Dr. Wright protesting against the phrasing of the speech, denying personal responsibility for the industrial tangle and offering the entire research fund himself. The utilities magnate said he did not believe he would hesitate to promise to raise five million dollars “if you really have any sound ideas for correcting economic problems that face this country.” “I have instructed the Chase Na- tional bank,” he stated, “to transmit $500,000 to the Commerce Trust com- pany of Kansas City for the needs you represent as necessary and sug- gest that you lay your problems be- fore the Chamber of Commerce of Kansas City.” Doherty, identifying himself as both an engineer and a scientist, said if Dr. Wright felt “that if you and per- haps other engineers and scientist: are to blame for this depression you are free to make such a charge against yourself and others and then make a confession for yourself and others.” “But I think you should do it for yourself,” he stated, “and not for the society or for other engineers.” N.

Let us justify their expectations, “I cannot predict what shall evolve out of our present economic condi- tions, but when we look backward and see that in the past we have always come out of depressions and gone to greater prosperity, I am confident that we shall repeat our past experi- ence. When that recovery will come, no one will have the hardihood, defi- nitely to forecast. Certain it is that it can only be brought about by co- operating individual effort and not by government action. “Meanwhile, let us be courageous and optimistic. Let us have an abid- ing confidence in the fundament soundness of American institutions, in the enduring principles of our gov- ernment. Let us have faith in our financial institutions and in the ‘securities and utilities and let us be patient and frugal.’ WasThrown Overboard Byossett, N. ¥., Sept. 10.—()—Mrs. Benjamin P.
