Work Efficiency (Washington Post) Whether worker efficiency is going up or down is not always easy to determine. Bureau of Labor Sta- tistics reports emphasize that productivity is far more than a measure of worker effort. It is a measure of output per man-hour of labor which is affected not only by the worker but also by the skill of manage- - Vice-President Editor and Manager in the periods under comparison O e or irrecularity i the delivery | dustry is now,making in new machinery and becaus r t or not other- |ment, and, even more important, by the kind of ! machinery and the processes of manufacture employed |in the job. Productivity is vitally affected by the vailability of materials and supplies, and by the | over-all level of plant operation. Worker effort could only be measured if these other factors were the same In most industries these other factors have changed so materially during the period of conversion to war production, and back to peacetime production, that it is almost fmpossible to draw comparisons which mean anything Here in the Bureau of Labor Statistics officials are -optimistic over the outlook for labor productivi in the broader sense because of the investments in- t of past records on the growth of productivity | point to the st y rise over a long period of ye lat an annual e of 35 per cent, and to the striking increa: in productivity in some of the munitions industries during the war. They note also that the 'mass production industries are just beginning to get back to the rate of production at which man-hour | productivity can rise. While some BLS studies shqwed little gain in productivity during the war, these were the peacetime industries which were unable to get machinery and materials during the war and were | forced to use the leftovers in the labor market. 1In most of these industries productivity has experienced « sharp rise since the end of the war. We hope the | BLS is right in its prog Not only our own stabil- ity, but the world’s, depends upon it s is How Much Is $41,000,000,000? | (New York Times) | During the current fiscal year it is estimated {that spending by the Federal Government will exceed | $41,000,000,000. general, the public accepts this fact | complacently How much is $41,000,000,0002 A few comparison will help to give some appreciation of what this figure I mean: During the th years of our participation ir First World War total spending aggregated slightly more thah $33,000,000. Aggregate Government spending during the whole of the ten years of general prosperity frem 1921 ‘to 1930 was about the same as during the First World War. The five years of deficit spending from 1935 to 1939 aggregated about $40,000,- 1000,000. The total national income in the depression | vears 1932 and 1933 averaged only slightly in egcess of 1$41,000,000,000. In other words, the number of dollars being spent by the Federal Government durir the single current fiscal year will be about the same as the yentire value of all goods and services produced in this country during those depression years This record volume of peacetime spending | flects to a major extent the cost of the war and its | aftermath. We have now reached a point at which a balanced budget has become a national necessity. This objective can be attained only by reducing total Gov- | ernment spending, since taxes are already at levels | which stifle individual and business ini! ive. But Government spending will not be cut sharply until ‘(hm‘(* is a public realization of how much $41,000,000,- 000 really is, and of the inflationary dangers inherent in a continuation of such spending th the Yor “The man who turns out of the radio ad jingles writes his copy on the wall as the inspiration seizes him."—Trade journal.

In the end he can say “no” and say it with vi- gor, but when a friend like Henry Wallace tackles him on foreign pol- icy, or when Congressman John McCormack of Massachusetts tack- ies him on meat, his first inclina- tion is to go along For instar when House Major- ity Leader publicly 50 of- ater is e, McCormack urged the President to remove ceil- fngs on meat prices he thought he was doing so with the President’s okay. But after the McCormack statement, OPA chief Paul Porter called and told the President. he had heard that the McCormack statement was encouraged by the White House. and ft all came about from a chance remark made to a policeman.
