WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR JOB-IF WE 6ET
ATOMIC ENERGY TO DRIVE OUR MACHINES!
QIuppose, in the next year or two, some of the wizards
O in the atom-splitting business discover how to put
atomic power to work in industry.
Would that be good or bad?
If you’re a coal miner or an oil field worker, for instance,
it may sound like a pretty grim prospect. If all they need
to run a train or an auto is a pinch of uranium, they don’t
need coal or oil. And, obviously, they don’t need you.
So what do you do? To save your job, do you buck the
development of atomic power?
Well, your common sense tells you that would be silly.
What’s more, so does American history.
History shows that when we first put the steam engine
to work, it threw some people out of a job—temporarily.
But it made jobs for many times those people. When the
gasoline engine came in, it raised cain with the blacksmiths.
But there are more jobs today in one department of one
auto plant than there ever were blacksmith jobs in the
whole country.
But that’s only part of it. Naturally, a man can turn
out a lot more goods in a day’s work with the help of power
than he can without it. So, he becomes more valuable and
his wages go up—as history shows they have.
Not only that—but over a period of years the goods he
makes are produced more cheaply, so prices can go down—
as history shows they have. And the result is that all of us
can have more goods—more cars, more clothes, more food
—by working more efficiently for shorter hours.
That’s why it’s just common sense to welcome any new
source of power, any more efficient way of doing things,
any laborsaving machinery or better collective bargaining.
That’s always been the free, dynamic American system
of doing business. The system still has its faults. We still
have sharp ups and downs of prices and jobs. But even as
our system stands today, it has brought more benefits to
more people than any other system yet devised.
