Now York.--Giant cities will grow no larger and will lose their present financial and Industrial importance; Industry will break up into smaller units and operate in what are now rural districts; the worker will receive a greater share of his employer's profits in order to maintain buying power; and the cost of killing a Chinaman will jump from abo,^t fifty dollars, the present level, to approximately $17,500, all in the comparatively near future, &nd because mankind has discarded human and animal energy based on food cultivation and substituted for it his newly discovered ability to convert solar energy into work, principally In the form of electric power. These are some of the predictions affecting the welfare of humanity made by Harper Leech, writer on economic subjects, in his new book "The Paradox of Plenty.** That "this is not a depression but a mishandling of the greatest era of plenty the world lias ever known,"' is the thesis of Mr. Leech's book. "The plain fact is,*' he says in his preface, "that after thousands, perhaps millions, of years of living on the energy grudgingly tendered by the sun through annual harvests of crops, man' "suddenly became aware that the same sun had been Storing energy for millions of years. He discovered In coal an energy store with millions of times the energy available from his own muscles. Nearly two hundred years later, be still thinks of 'scarcity' when there Is no scarcity. And, failing to adjust his institutions and his finad- "cikl mechanisms to the conditions of plenty, he has failed to realize the advantages of plenty. Transformation of the United States. The transformation of tiie United States Into a new form of industrial society, through the interconnection of electric power and transmission of energy, has already started, according to Mr. Leech, and "is now proceeding as rapidly as the previous political and economic intergration of America by railroad construction." Mr. Leech points to recent developments In* the Carolinas as typical of what iSwy be expected of the future industrialism of the United States In ' the wake of Its constantly expanding use of electrical energy! ^'In the Piedmont region of the Carolinas," Ire writes, "the first quarter of the Twentieth century witnessed a repetition of £he industrial revolution of the Eighteenth century in the north of England. There was the same shift from agriculture and cottage industries to factories, but no growth of cities to correspond to the growth of the steamgenerated Babyions like Manchester, Leeds, Pittsburgh or Chicago, which gathered Into themselves the great, constructive forces of the Nineteenth century. "The new type of industrialism which is seen In most characteristic form in the Carolinas has been sub , jected to much criticism. But It brought to the Inhabitants of those regions a far greater net gain of In come and welfarfe than came to the people who lived through the great transitions from agriculture to factory life in regions of earlier industrial maturity. Whether urban critics like it or not--the Carolinas today are a prototype of the future Industrialism of America. . The mammoth metropolises of the modern world already show signs of overgrowth and overspeclalizatlon, which In the organic world foretell the doom of a species. "Because of the congestion in cities, there has been built up a complex system of distribution. There are brokers, Jobbers, wholesalers, and warehouse ]pen, all adding tremendously the expense of transportation and handling. , "Superficially, the greater per capita consumption of electricity in cities would Indicate higher living standards than in small communities with a lower per capita consumption, but much of the urban use of electricity goes merely to level up the city dweller's plane of life to that already enjoyed by the Inhabitant of the smaller community without recourse to electrical .or mechanical power." Valu« Changta. Mr. Leech points out in his book that the vastly Increased ability to produce agricultural and other products that electrical energy has placed In the hands of men has destroyed completely the promise that, scarcity i's a measure of value. With the energy now available, he says, it takes but a small proportion of the population to supply the essential needs of the whole nation. Therefore, he adds, there can be no scarcity, and scarcity-ceases to be a measure of value. In conclusion Mr, Leech strikes a note of optimism for the future of the United States and Its citizens, and for western civilization as a whole. "Slowly, he declares, "the force of economic and technical realities has been rtemov- !ng from the throat of western mankind, the dead hand of obsolete economic doctrine. The evidence Is unmls takable that humanity can escape from the prison hotise of want; and, al though still rubbing eyes blinded from long confinement In the dungeon, can now see a new world. With famine vanquished and other forms of prlva tion being rapidly diminished, old faiths bom of want and fear have losing force." i • - i - rirvnirniub • t Wid* City Strwto _JjCfcr Champs Blys«M in Paris, 200 nit across, is often spoken of as the widest in the world.
