SCIENCE AND SLAUGHTER.
(New York Times)
George Lansbury met Signor
Marconi ten days before the great
inventor’s death. Marconi said it
was a terrible thing that the sci
entific genius of modern man
should be used for purposes of
destruction. He feared that the
.final outcome of modern inven
tion might be the ruin of all that
is precious in our inheritance
from the past.
Marconi should know, if any
one. His great discovery is asso
ciated in our minds with the ser
vice of mercy in its most impres
sive and most ancient form, the
rescue of life at sea. But if we
wish to be very cynical,we might
argue that wireless, too, has been
sorrupted. Many more lives than
have been saved at sea by the
S.O.S. have been destroyed in
battle by marconigram orders
from military headquarters. The
Italian high command wirelessed
thousands upon thousands of Eth
iopians to death by crisp orders
to its bombing planes. Where on
ce upon a time Napoleon needed
perhaps a dozen couriers to send
ten thousand men to their death,
a commander in chief can do it
now with a few dots and dashes.
But in the final account the
guilt does not lie with modern
machinery. The real culprit is
the old, unregenerate, untechno
logical heart of man. He uses the
terrifying new machines as an
alibi. The most terrifying whole
sale rruuder machine in man him
self. Despite all the new killing
machines he remains in this field
nonpareil and hors concours. As
the comparison ran between Saul
and David, the airplane or poson
gas may slay their thousands, but
the good old carbine and stiletto
continue to slay their tens of
thousands.
This is obvious in Spain, where
they now estimate the dead at
half a million. But it is self-evi
dent that only a very small num
ber of the victims were killed by
the bombs over Madrid, Guerni
ca, Valencia. It is hideous to read
of women and children slain from
the air. But for every one such
victim there may be as many as
a hundred men, women and child
ren who have died by shooting,
stabbing and starvation in the
murderous grinding of the wheels
of civil war in a thousand towns
and villages.
“Instruction in jazz and swing
music is to be given the high
school students of New York.”
Thus rhythm at last takes its
place among the four R’s.
Every man is born free and
equal1 until he tries to exercise
the right of working.
There’s something about that
name Whangpoo which lends a
colorful tinge to the Japanese
Chinese set to. But, fortunately,
the color thus far has been blood
red.
