TOSSES BACK THE COVERS Sanger, N. D. Feb. 28, 1933. Editor, Tribune: After reading the many guesses on the subject of Technocracy that come / fairs of North Dakota and outside aid my way, I am still undecided as to what it really is. No one seems to be able to tell me whether it is some- thing new under the sun or an age old cult in colorful disguise. If the who advocate it can not in- telligently define it the parties who ‘would oppose it can not do so because there is no propounded doctrine or creed to attack. By reading between the lines of all this indefinite printed matter about ‘Technocracy and uniting what I glean there with a few events of modern history, I believe that my guess as to ‘what Technocracy would be if it had its right name is as good as any- body's. To say that Technocracy is nothing else but the dreams of the I. W. W. expressed in vague scientific terms would naturally invoke a demand for proof. Anticipating such a demand I will at once supply the proof in as brief an article as possible. There have been no scientific facts presented to attract the attention of the general public to this economic Jig-saw puzzle, but rather its advo- cates have relied upon its mysterious- ness to engender interest in it. We have knowledge of instances where the profound mystery of a the- ory has enlisted for it almost univer- gal acceptation. For instance, when Prof. Einstein advanced his profound theory of relativity it was not at- tacked by men of science because there was no evidence in existence to either refute or question the cor- rectness of the theory and others hes- itated to assail it because it was as- serted at the time that not to exceed @ dogen men in the whole wide world were intellectual enough to under- stand the principles of the thesis. ‘That statement alone was enough to establish the theory as a scientific fact, for if it was so profound such a small number of living men could grasp its significance, it was too near divinity for average men to trifle with and thus the vague and un- provable fancies of the visionary pro- fessor were accepted as established facts. So with Technocracy, its mysteri- ousness is its publicity agent and if the mystery can be retained long enough its advocates shall have won their point. Socialism was once shrouded in mystery but it has gone through several stages of evolution the past 30 years. Karl Marx Socialism, when first in- troduced into this country, made no bid for agricultural support but was framed to catch only the laborer, who had no investment in the enterprise with which he worked. As it was conceived by its originators and promulgated by its early exponents, it ‘was a party for the wage earner only, and for several generations continued to be a theory of government in which a person in any sense a capit- list had no pari. When machines began displacing human labor to a noticeable degree and it looked quite probable that the numerical ratio of the wage earning laborer to the rest of our population ‘would continue to diminish, the pro- moters of Socialism were convinced that their party must be revamped to include others or it never could be made & political power in the nation. The opportune time to do that re- vamping came in the early years of this present century. Many of the readers of The Tribune can well re- member the time when Theodore Roosevelt, then president of these United States, believing that agricul- ture was not keeping pace with other branches of American industry, asked for an investigation into the cause of this farm backwardness and what was the remedy or the propelling force that could put agriculture to its pace. Socialism seized upon that call as the golden opportunity to expand its activities and soon had its agents in hundreds of farm communities all over the country, preaching the new Socialism to whom-so-ever would lis- i ten. True, their available working force only strong enough to throw out Picket line across the nation, gathered in thousands of re- the next few years. Some hat Socialism was sweeping country like a tidal wave id be in complete control of rment within 10 years. farmers joined the organiza- it not enough of them could be to sever their relations with two major political parties to give encouragement to the cause and terest in the Socialist party soon burned out and the organization set- tled down to a routine life of ap- proximately its former strength. ‘The people's fidelity to the parties of their forefathers was regarded as the chief barrier that obstructed the growth of Socialism.

The farmers vir- tually fell over themselves to join the League. It was so beautifully camouflaged the unsuspecting farm- ers never knew, and some do not know to this day that they were joining the most daring adventure to Socialize a state that was ever launched in all history. Socialists all over the world became keenly interested in the political af- came into the state. The battle strategy was entirely different from that of 1904. Instead of a thin picket line thrown out across the face of the whole nation, these artful pro- moters conceived the idea that a massed attack on the relatively short battle front of one agricultural state carried more promise of success than a mere picket attack on a national front. With one state completely captured they fancied the contagion would spread like wildfire and sweeping over the neighboring commonwealths gather the whole nation into the hands of Socialism, but the enthusias- tic promoters made a grave mistake. They encompassed a little too much, They reached a little too far,and en- gendered suspicion in other states and the epidemic never made much head- way beyond the North Dakota state limits. Time went on. The Socialist lead- ers lost their grip on the organization and having drawn most of its sup- port from the progressive wing of the Republican party the League grad- ually settled back into the hands of that faction, leaving Socialism prac- tically where it was before the great adventure. In 1928 the Socialist party polled the smallesi vote it had polled for years, but one would think that the campaign of 1932, with the whole opportunity to make a bid for power that was ever open to Socialism in all party, by all the processes of logical] increased rather than acter, keen intelligence and unques- | state. people of America.
