The emergence of 'Technocracy'' as the latest sevenday woadct seems to require the establishment of a judpmt an the part of tach schwl of thought dealwig with the questionr involved in the vt mi&. This is aU the more true inasmuch as 'T&rpcpn apparmtly chpffenga and dhksall existing theories on thc quesh. Howard Seort, in Harper's Magazine, January, 1933, sumr this up in the Statement: 'We nnd Iwl: fa no hclp fmm RcplblIunr. Wts,SoeLlb FrdKl a Crmmunutl, fer each woup ia ia *my in &dlo pria dam." Let us examine the ideas of Techaocracy from the point of vim of MPnriPm, that is, the pint of view of thc Communist Pq(Marx- ism as dc~tlopcdin the modern imptriaht era m the tea* of Lcnia and Scalin.) Hundreds of columns arc being devoted by the pmto particular exampb, brought forward by T#hamaq as illumahm9 o the irrsolublc coneradicthm within the prcxnt social system. ' With d of these ctitkiams against Technmracy, the themist viPitwpoint has nothing in common. Exagetroths of inaccuracies that may be ran- taintd in the statcmncs of Tecbnmacy arc only hcidetlrll and & not touch the of the mdm. The fundamental mod of durn 14advance, and the Lompatibility of chis owrh of pdd~ L- with tk juridical framework with w& it is ford m opcratc, is unquestionab1y the basii factor in the crisis and k more or lew accurately pttraycd in the facts brought forward by Howard Scm and his associatea.
