Byerley

energetically

I

The
North
is
now
the
strongest
,
and
has
been
for
nearly
a
century
,
or
its
component
parts
have
been
.
But
it
is
losing
relatively
,
now
.
The
Tropic
Regions
may
take
their
place
in
the
forefront
of
civilization
for
the
first
time
since
the
Pharaohs
,
and
there
are
Northerners
who
fear
that
.

"
The
'S
ociety
for
Humanity
'
is
a
Northern
organization
,
primarily
,
you
know
,
and
they
make
no
secret
of
not
wanting
the
Machines
.

Susan
,
they
are
few
in
numbers
,
but
it
is
an
association
of
powerful
men
.
Heads
of
factories
;
directors
of
industries
and
agricultural
combines
who
hate
to
be
what
they
call
'
the
Machine
's
office-boy
'
belong
to
it
.
Men
with
ambition
belong
to
it
.
Men
who
feel
themselves
strong
enough
to
decide
for
themselves
what
is
best
for
themselves
,
and
not
just
to
be
told
what
is
best
for
others
.
"
In
short
,
just
those
men
who
,
by
together
refusing
to
accept
the
decisions
of
the
Machine
,
can
,
in
a
short
time
,
turn
the
world
topsy-turvy
;
just
those
belong
to
the
Society
.
"
Susan
,
it
hangs
together
.
Five
of
the
Directors
of
World
Steel
are
members
,
and
World
Steel
suffers
from
overproduction
.
Consolidated
Cinnabar
,
which
mined
mercury
at
AImaden
,
was
a
Northern
concern
.
Its
books
are
still
being
investigated
,
but
one
,
at
least
,
of
the
men
concerned
was
a
member
.
Francisco
Villafranca
,
who
,
singlehanded
,
delayed
the
Mexican
Canal
for
two
months
,
was
a
member
,
we
know
already
--
and
so
was
Rama
Vrasayana
,
I
was
not
at
all
surprised
to
find
out
.
"
Susan
said
,
quietly
,
"
These
men
,
I
might
point
out
,
have
all
done
badly
-

But
naturally

interjected
Byerley
.
"
To
disobey
the
Machine
's
analyses
is
to
follow
a
non-optimal
path
.
Results
are
poorer
than
they
might
be
.
It
's
the
price
they
pay
.
They
will
have
it
rough
now
but
in
the
confusion
that
will
eventually
follow
-

"
Just
what
do
you
plan
doing
,
Stephen
?
"
"
There
is
obviously
no
time
to
lose
.
I
am
going
to
have
the
Society
outlawed
,
every
member
removed
from
any
responsible
post
.
And
all
executive
and
technical
positions
,
henceforward
,
can
be
filled
only
by
applicants
signing
a
non-Society
oath
.
It
will
mean
a
certain
surrender
of
basic
civil
liberties
,
but
I
am
sure
the
Congress
