Only then can the problem of unemployment be solved. former monarch's views were carefully laid down in the form of a letter written Jto his life-long friend, TV St John Gatfne'y 6f Summit, New Jersey. Summed up briefly, Wilhelm II technocracy and the problem si unemployment as follows: 1. Unemployment cannot be cured material means alone, for it Is distress." 2.

While it is true that the ma- shine threatens our entire econimic lite, yet the mind of man. which treated the machine, will also "find ways and means of effectively meeting excises of technics." 3. One effective way of meeting unemployment is that of taking Industrial workers out of the big cities and away from the machine-dominated factory, and 'putting them to work at building streets and canals, cultivating waste land, or colonizing them" as small farmers. 4. For the machine, as for business certain regulatory laws must promulgated "so that its planless, inorganic multiplication and use may ctsse." This regulation must come 'by international agreement." The former gaiser also expresses the belief that even If the depression were suddenly to cease and business and Industry to advance by leaps and the great mass of Mnstrlal workers who were thrown out ot lobs during the depression could not be re-instated, because mechanical development has meanwhile them superfluous.
