P—The machine, says Paul Valery, one of France's “Forty Immortals” is outdistancing the soul. Valery, who occupies the seat in the Anatole France, thinka that Amer- ica may play a great part in helping the “soul catch up with the ma- chine.” The world, he saya is passing through one of the great transitions | of history. “Science,” he told an Associated Press correspoadent, “is gradually | creating & new type of human be- ing just as it ia ereating conditions | of living unknown in the world’s previous history. “Already material aspects of liv- | be in the future; they have the | precision, the exactitude, one might almost say the perfection of ma- chines.

In our culture, t00, we need bigher standards. We don't think an expert workmah in one kind of work can understand every other kind. Hence why do we assume that every cultured person can un- derstand every culture? “That was the mistake of the nineteenth century which was @& period of easy-going variety and {confusion.
