Part VIII

1 Full explanation

2 of the ‘38 crash

3 forms a multiple factor equation

4 with certain long brackets

5 of political X, Y, Z’s to the Nth power

6 of international copper cartels

7 and tin committee’s quotas

8 and rats surreptitiously leaving the ship

9 but a broader cause

10 may reassuringly be observed

11 from our 50,000 foot viewpoint.

12 That broader cause

13 was that the principle

14 of Industrialization

15 had thus far in history been developed

16 to hybrid full bloom

17 only within the United States of Northern America;

18 and in dynamic fulfillment of evolutionary balance

19 the principle had now to be fully applied

20 to the rest of the world;—

21 before the world could settle down into peace and order

22 on the new plateau

23 a fact neither evident nor cultivated as such for its honorable own sake

24 by either U.S. business or government.

25 However, the particular detonating factor that derailed man’s equanimity train temporarily

26 was the non-scientific surrealist art

27 of our pals, the Publicitors

28 who were now developing

29 world decentralized manufacture

30 to prove that their 1929 failure

31 with world monopoly

32 ‘‘monorailing’’

33 was only caused by the fact that their first trial section of single rail was not long enough.

34 And the ‘38 crash came when the Publicitors pulling up the last piece of parallel rail in the world

35 (at the same time swelling up traffic

36 by a war emergency scarecrow)

37 unwittingly invoked the ‘‘dynamic balancer’’ to all such importantly lopsided designs. For, as the human industrial express hit their first section

38 of new world single rail

39 and careened into the panic ditch again, within the Publicitor’s scarecrow itself

40 there appeared

41 the dynamic balancer

42 which he had unwittingly invoked.

43 In lieu of a new parallel rail

44 on which to get the human train running again the scarecrow demonstrated

45 that unlike the multi-wheeled vehicles

46 of Democracy’s mixed party support it could indeed run on the single rail at least in quasi human fashion by use of a gyroscopic stabilizer, called National Socialism,

47 or Totalitarianism,

48 a vast scientifically managed

49 direct producer-consumer integration—individual and collective,—

50 with government as sole entrepreneur;—a fast spinning efficiency scheme of super-super monopoly.

51 And the scarecrow’s Public Relationers,

52 Gayda and Goebbels

53 thus enabled to defy gravity

54 and anything else it pleased them to defy began to centrifuge vituperance

55 which far outranged and out-spread radially

56 the pot-shot hand grenades of the Public Relationers of the world-wide privateering monopolies who were only accustomed to dealing with their own artificial barrages and in sub-caliber practice on big guns, having no real enemy in monopoly to enforce step-keeping with time.

57 So P.R. was at last afraid for its own skin and was about to secretly Anschluss with its own frankenstein creation and had indeed made vital commitments when the again ‘‘forgotten man’’ bemusedly taking inventory of his own great industrial strength as demonstrated within the U.S.A.

58 said, ‘‘Hey there, P.R., where are you going?’’

59 He said this in several ways:—objectively, by post-card telegram and survey; subjectively, by stubbornness, or perverse condescension or downright boredom and quite a bit of telepathic wrist twisting.

60 Amazed by this unexpected worm turning yet encouraged by the naivete of Democracy’s questioning and admiringly impressed by the ‘‘inventory of power,’’

61 Public Relations surprised itself by answering,—speaking editorially for man, of course,—in that resonant staccato of the documentary film voice, ‘‘We are going to fight the Totalitarian Dragon, who threatens Democracy.’’

62P.R. thought of course that man would proudly take arms and thus save not only P.R.’s own skin for having challenged the Dragon, personally, as it were, by advance tentative proxy, but also afford P.R.’s clients a swell incidental profit in one way or another despite limiting fences erected by man;—that arch Damn Fool.

63 But man taking his new creative abilities seriously frowned on the destructive suggestion and refused to ‘‘fall in line,’’ (a military expression.)

64 P.R. now out on a limb decided to take affairs in its own hands even though the grab be painfully patent to a frustrated few artists and scientists.

65 Thus the Publicitor and his financial backers, his clients and handymen now alone in the world

66 had everything to lose even if nothing new to gain and the broadcasts grew martially stentorian;—almost noble;—were it not for that undertone despised by the U.S.A, ear,—notes of fear push pushing too hard and too self-interestedly.

67 And even before consciously detecting that fear Uncle Sam’s nephews didn’t care anyway for the cut of the Dillon Reid uniforms or for the oomph of Kuhn Loeb’s martial music for another phenomenal thing had happened.

68 The telescoping effect of industrialization had advanced the average age of U.S.A, man by fifteen years during the twenty-two year armistice so that a middle aged man stayed precisely middle aged though the years themselves were advancing and the extra years were flung to youth and the aged and for the first time in history yesterday was still too realistically today for man in his prime to be easily re-booby-trapped.

69 Especially was this true of U.S.A, man who was only idealistically involved. He remembered, for instance, the many thousands of veterans once the fair headed boys of 1918 deprived of an honorable soldier’s death even of jobs and of friendships despised and homeless rounded up like rats on Metacombie Kay where God with a Florida hurricane tidal wave quenched forever the fire that seared their unloved forgotten vice tortured souls;—and this was but one item played way down by publicity.

70 But if in turn the Totalitarian monopoly grows too singularly lopsided for one of many possible reasons to work happily in our, as popularly viewed, bi-polar world of black-and-white tall-and-short night-and-day right-and-left-foot intuitive balancing progression

71 (which bi-polar counterpointing with its overlooked third part the middle, or resultant of forces self-started Democracy;—) then as sure as man has two eyes and it takes two people to make a baby, another party will come along and another and another

72 ‘‘So why all the shooting?’’ say the U.S.A.’s. More precisely than that if Totalitarianism grows too lopsided

73 to synchronize socially with the three-phase numerical and electrical balancing of the atomic world’s proton, electron, and neutron;

74 or with the three point landings of our modem dynamic technology;

75 or with engineering’s three legged basic structural stability and triangular trussing by segregated satisfaction

76 of isolated articulating push-pull forces:—in the tripartite terms of which world peace

77 and its economic language must of scientific necessity be freely fashioned then will the Totalitarians also invoke the inevitable dynamic balancer.

78 And how,—is for the nonce inconsequential.

79 Other reasons enough for the ‘38 panic will be discussed later, but for the moment it suffices to note that the U.S.A, was, after all, only the chief ways-and-means laboratory of fate during the first half of the twentieth century in the ever Westward curve of civilization.

80 And in this continentally isolated laboratory Industrialization as a fulfillment of the urges and surges of all history and its people had now come to first fertile fruition.

81 And the U.S.A, populace was not destined or even temporarily licensed by God through any reasonable concept of man to a role of dog-in-the-manger with that fruition.

82 That is not the way of Industrialization, which, as we shall see later is universal or nothing.

83 So 1938--1939

84 third armistice period

85 was fraught with world-affairs awareness

86 in which people were learning geography

87 as never before

88 coordinating sound and sight names

89 with places and people

90 first in the Orient

91 then all over Europe

92 and then South America

93 (it had studied East Africa

94 in the two years preceding).

95 And the 1939 business activity pull-up

96 was intimately connected

97 with world supplying

98 and world airways linkage

99 and not with special personal gain

100 to the U.S. profit economy.

101 The U.S. profit economy,—

102 as separated out from Industrialization,—

103 was neither politically, economically, mechanically, nor in any conscious sense

104 (let alone conscientious)

105 geared to the part

106 of beneficient

107 world deliquescence.

108 Rather the U.S.A.

109 business economy

110 played the shrewd fool.

111 Witness the continual stock market frustrations.

112 Witness its panicky Fascistic plotting.

113 Witness its division against itself in war mongering.

114 Witness its unfitness

115 for the war it promoted.

116 Those true commonwealth earnings are only to come

117 when the U.S. unfalteringly

118 steps out

119 into its world leadership role

120 sponsoring Industrialization peacefully,—for man’s own sake,—wherefore let us research the character, anatomy and philosophic meaning of Industrialization.
