Show TECHNOCRATS SEE NEED OF CHANGE "What will happen to America Ameri-ca when the defense .program is over?" was the question posed by D. A- Wootton, coordinator of Jordan school district, in his discussion of the "Present World Dilemma" at Lions club meeting meet-ing Tuesday evening at Bingham Bing-ham cafe- The trouble with our economic structure, Mr. . Wootton said, is the increasing ability of the country to produce and the decreasing de-creasing ability to buy. In 1922 the "Technical Alliance of North America" conducted a survey of the continent and warned the country that the worst depression depres-sion in history of the country would strike before 1936. Mr Wootton said that in spite of government efforts at combating combat-ing the depression there are still nine-and-a-half million people still unemployed. He added further fur-ther that society must be reorganized reor-ganized on a functional basis -instead of political. The present svstem is failing more rapidly than technocrats can prepare for. he change. The enormous public debt and growing unemployment under normal conditions were pointed out as proof of the present pres-ent inadequacy of the economic structure. |
