SCIENCE AND SOCIETY
In his address before the American Physical Society
JVIr. David Sarnoff acknowledged the debt of industry
to the mathematical physicist. Like others, he found
it easier to dwell on the more obvious benefits that have
flowed from the works of Maxwell, Hertz and Marconi
than to specify the kind of society which is best able to
utilize the gifts of science and invention.
Democracy as we know it is a political (Conception
of the eighteenth century—a period when there were
no steam engines, no railways, no four-day trans-Atlan
tic liners, no electrical ways of communicating with one
another over vast distances, no mass production, no
mass entertainment in the form of broadcasting and
movies. In Great Britain and in this country peoples
which believe strongly in personal liberty and in the old
freedom of speech and thought are attempting to pre
serve democracy and adapt.it to a society which has
been profoundly changed by these and other technical
innovations.
A democracy can indicate what kind of government
it wants by popular vote, but no popular vote can de
termine what will happen when television comes or
atomic energy is harnessed. Obviously we need engi
neers to design a four-day liner. The first step, then,
is to create more bodies like the National Advisory
Board to tell us, not how democracy can be fitted to the
machine, but what researches the scientists are con
ducting. what new discoveries and machines are in the
offing, what social changes may be expected. We paid
scarcely any attention to the two reports of the board.
It is something, however, that it should have been ap
pointed at all. For it is a sign that democracy is trying
to discover how it should prepare itself for\vhat Mr.
Wells calls ‘ the shape of things to come.” Whatever
these things may be, freedom of thought and expres
sion must remain inviolate. If this is shackled, demo
cracy and science must languish and die together. It
is ominous for both that Fascists and Communists sho
uld deny the right of the scientist to formulate theories
that may conflict with their social philosophies.
Like the rest of us. Mr. Sarnoff dislikes regimenta
tion. Yet there is less personal liberty than there was
;n Washington’s day; and there will be still less tomor
row when more complex inventions than dreamed of
now will be introduced. The advance of technology is
inevitably accompanied by regimentation in the sense
of organization. Without it we cannot have millions of
(heap ic.cn,.cal automobiles, identical electric lamps

drawing their energy from one central station, identical
tins and packages of food in countless pantries, identical
bathtubs from coast to coast, identical motion pictures
in a thousand theatres. This is no reason for weeping.
The losses are offset by gains in Swifter transport and
communication, better and cheaper clothes, more plen
tiful food, more time for leisure. Professor Dewey put
it bravely when he said:
“It seems incredible that men who have brought the
machine of applied physical discovery, invention and
use to such a pitch of perfection will abdicate in the face
of the infinitely greater human problem.—N. Y. Times.
A French scientist declares the world will end soon.
If his country indicated that she would pay up. it would
be easy to believe.
