We have all known that the enforced idleness of millions of} men and women or their assignment | to piddling and non-productive tasks, | constitutes a tremendous waste of well-being and happiness for the/ American people. | No one can question, for example, | but that the American people would | be far better housed today had the! carpenters and other builders been | able to go ahead at full speed dur-| ing these last five years. If we had used our ability to the full, every | home would have a modern bath tub and every housewife kitchen equip- ment of a much higher grade than now is the rule. The same thing holds true for almost every item of household or office equipment as well as for items of personal use, such as shoes, clothing and the so-called lux- uries, In short, everyone recognizes that this could be a land of milk and honey, such as all peoples have en- visioned. The task is to so use our resources of mind, money and mate- tials that the end is attained. The survey, although it brings us| little nearer a workable plan for mak- ing the necessary adjustments, does shed light on the ends which must | be attained if the ultimate goal is to be reached. Thus it asserts that the wants of every family could be filled | without capacity industrial produc- tion, but to do this each of the na- tion’s 27,000,000 families must have a minimum buying power of $4,700 a year without any increase in living costs over present standards. It is interesting to note that the survey was made by men of prac- tical experience as well as theoretical training, committee members having been drawn from the business and industrial world as well as from the| Yanks of college professors. ‘Among | them, however, it must be noted, was | Harold Loeb, a leader in technocracy's early stages and friend of Howard Scott, chief technocrat. Taking each phase of production in turn, the survey {ndicates actual, Possible and desirable production fig- ‘ures on the basis of the 1929 output. Possible capacity production esti- mates have been influenced by changes made in the last five years. It is shown that in 1929 $26,919,- 000,000 worth of food was produced, but that with 59 per cent of the fam- ilies earning less than $2,000 a year they were forced to maintain diets showing too little meat and too much consumption of starch and sugar. If production had been increased by 3,000,000,000, it was found, every| family would have had a liberal diet. | In the clothing industry in that | year, 57,000,000 men and boys pur- chased 29,000,000 suits, 9,270,000 coats | and women and girls 173,060,000 dresses, 614,000,000 pairs of stockings and 259,000,000 pieces of underwear. | ‘The industry was capable of produc- | ing 79,000,000 suits, 21,000,000 coats, 396,000,000 shirts, 485,000,000 dresses, 1,069,000,000 pairs of stockings and | 510,000,000 pieces of underwear, A esirable production, the survey de- termined, would have been 67,000,000 suits, 28,000,000 coats, 363,000,000 Shirts, 275,000,000 dresses, 681,000,000 pairs of stockings and 427,000,000 Pieces of underwear. This produc- tion, it was said, would have insured decent and well-fitting apparel to every citizen, Housing was found to require the 0 tremendously and run profitably; ed- | the founders of the American Liberty gram, it was said, and even at that rate it would require ten years to pro- vide the American people with decent ‘living conditions, | By giving work to the unemployed | nurses and doctors, each person could | be guaranteed perfect medical treat- |ment for $42 a year—a sum which j could be greatly reduced, it was esti- mated, by the practice of preventive | therapeutics, In 1929 the health bill | was only $26 per capita, with millions {unable to afford any kind of treat- ment. |; Other deductions were that trans- | portation facilities could be expanded ucation could be expanded to include a national cost of $12,612,000,000 a ; year, instead of the present cost of $3,723,000,000, and recreational ex- |Penditures could be increased from | $5,953,090,000 to at least $11,000,000,- ;000. With these expansions, it was | said, would come increased personal ; Security, increased leisure, increased |land value, new satisfaction for the | people and far greater individual 1%b- erty. No Part Represents Whole E. F, Hutton of New York, one of League, feels that congress and the world of business must get a better understanding of each other, and that it is up to the businessmen to see to it that that is done, “If we admit,” he says, “that this country is essentially a nation of business people, then it becomes bas- ically sound that they should have something to say in the halls of con- gress.” Now while this plea is certainly sensible enough, it contains the kind of misconception which pleaders for special groups are forever making.

Chambers of coinmerce and other business organizations have agreed to unite forces for this end. Banks are pledging their fullest cooperation to the government. On its side, the government itself has promised to/ cast aside every weight and the mon- etary sins that do so easily beset it, So as to give added confidence and strength to this expression of the na-| tional will. It is an extraordinary change to have come so suddenly over the spirit of the country’s dream. Skeptics may raise many doubts and questions. If it is only necessary to say in a loud and universal voice, “Go to, let us now restore prosper- ity,” why was it not done before? To get a thing simply by strongly willing to have it seems too simple a formula. It is true that a great philosopher de- scribed the whole world as little more than a result of “Will,” but that con- ception has hardly passed out of the still air of delightful studies into the hard realities of practical affairs. Yet everybody knows that in the life of the individual, as well as of the state, highly to resolve is partly to achieve. There must, of course, be a careful reckoning with the tides that run in human affairs, One reason why there to the present unison of belief is that the time was not ripe for it. Too many obstacles in the form of dis- turbing legislation and projected measures and rumors of the unfavor- able attitude of the administration have long stcod in the way of this union of hearts and purposes. But now everything seems to point to a clear field for cooperative and hope- ful activity, so that people in all parts of the land feel that times are getting better, and that they will soon be much better, provided every citizen and every agency of the government the work of recovery, It may be said that these recent demonstrations have already wrought one form of recovery. It is the re- covery of morale. When people feel better, they are better. If a new spirit of hopefulness spreads through many minds, it rapidly becomes in- fectious, One man catches it from his neighbor. One business gives it to another. The thing has to be classed with the intangibles, but its reality is not in doubt. No one can strike his hand upon all the causes that are making for 2 more tonic and | Optimistic public sentiment, but they are there just the same. They do not, of course, guarantee that everything will at once be rose-colored and that there will be no further business or financial setbacks. But the new and brighter morale is already visible and increasing. It is perhaps the most telling proof we have that recovery 4s under way. And the strong will is sure to develop ingenuity and courage and patience, while we have to wait for the completed process. It is a great gain to have got it started in such an atmosphere of common de- termination. For if that exists, we know that “tasks in hours of ins'ght willed, may be in hours of gloom ful- led,” a More than 200 forms of the wheat estimated at five to six rooms each— constructed from 1920 to 1930, was 434,944, or @ replacement of about 1.5 is held to be far too Of the fact that less of the people are Proper housing condi- set up by the survey calls for the building of 1,550,000 such . | Pll inits each year.

And that’s a great shame, for one of the dearer privileges of this harsh, hurly-burly newspaper life is that of gazing upon and listening to the charming, soft-voiced, handsomely gowned Mrs. Sabin whenever she is championing a new cause. But when the ethereal, exquisite Pauline appeared before the Wash- ington correspondents as the Lillish Gish of the American Liberty League, it appeared that those scoundrels had checked their chivalry with the hat-girl. The red blood of at least one in- dignant he-man simmered and bub- bled with rage at those hard-boiled fellows who were making life so miserable for the little lady that she probably will never condescend to see us again and at the ruthless Jouett Shouse, president of the league, who had thrown this fair creature to the wolves—presumably on the theory that they’d fall equally for the league and the ravishing Pauline.

Tepresentatives hollered loud and long that canned milk was Poor man’s most valuable food, containing the nutritive essentials of fresh milk, and that it was a terrible thing not to give the low income Group the benefit of lowest possible prices resulting from competition. ‘Then a representative of the dairy section was quietly sent to sell the agreement to @ convention of the in- dustry in Chicago, unbeknownst to the opposition here. Whereupon the “little fellows” among evaporated milk canners Proved strong enough to kick the Brice provisions out the window.
