Factory employment and industrial payrolls were at the highest levels in six years, and steadily advancing. Steel was booming. More automobiles, more household goods and more general merchandise were being sold than at any other time since 1630. The value of new resi- dential building had nearly doubled in a year. For the first time since the depths of the depression the | railways were beginning to buy equipment on a sub<' stantial scale.

The causes of the decline are many-sided. But among them will be found influences which are political rather than eco- nomic. During the past year American business has been handicapped by an unwise profits tax which was still an untried experiment a year ago. It has to face the possibility of additional taxes in consequence of another failure to bring the Federal budget into bal- It hi found it of Government policies. It has had official ‘criticism which has not been discriminating, And it has found in the long controversy over the Supreme Court issue reason to fear that some of the existing restraints upon the exercise of centralized power would be swept aside. To state these facts is not to suggest that Gov- ernment policies alone e been responsible for checking the business recove which was so plainly in progress a year ago. It ertainly not to suggest that the managers of American business have been g ess of mistakes on their own side, It is rather to support the argument ‘that closer cooperation’ be- tween business and Government has now become im- following the business faced In that very ance because ntlet of 1 perative if the present recession is to be checked before | it assumes the proportions of depression, The under- lying factors of the present situation are fundamen- tally sound.
