Income of individuals and corporations also set a new peak for the twelve months at more than $200 billions. The previcus record for “gross national product’— that is, the market value of all goods and services produced in the nation—was the $213 billions of 1945. In 1046 the figure dipped to $204 billions ‘The $200 billion national income figure compares with $198 billions in 1946 and with $182 billions in 1945. All major segments of the national economy chared in the advance in the national income to $200 billions. Perscnal income approximated $197 billions (up 11 per cent from the previous year), but con- sumers more of their income than in recent previous years and saved less Consumer outlays for goods and services were about $164 billlons, up 14 per cent from the $144 billions of 1946, while savings fell from-around $15 billions to $11 billions. The Department of Commerce finds that much of the dollar increase was the result of higher prices. Nevertheless, there was a substantial increase of pro- duction in numerous fields. Consumer goods especially were turned out in large volume. This also applied to a number of household appliances. Radio output, for example, was stepped up from 10,500,000 in 1939 to 17,000000. Vacuum cleaners were turned out at the rate of 3 to 1 in terms of the last pre-war year, with a profuction of| about 3,000,000, comparéd with the 1,- 100,000 of 1939. Washing machines, at 3,500,000, doubled the 1932 total. In textiles the spotlight of 1947 was on rayon. Of this fabric the amount turned out—960,- 000,000 pounds—represented twéi@nd one-half times the total produced eight years eatiler. unmistakable. at an all-time peak of production—not under the forced draught of war, but under free enterprise and the price | WITH p‘lls mm‘ system. record levels. The wheat crop (1,400,000,000 bushels) was nearly twice as large as the 741,000,000 bushels of 1930. Corn, it is true, had a bad year, but live- stock growers gave the nation 10,500,000,000 pounds of beef in 1947, the biggest in history. Even the pork output, so largely dependent upon corn, came to 10,- 300,000,000 pounds, which made it nearly 2,000,000,000 higher than that of 1939. In the fields of fuel and power the picture was much the same. The bituminous mines, in spite of labor disturbances, turned out 610,- 000,000 tons, or within 10,000,000 of the wartime high of 1944; American oil fields contributed 5,100,000 bar- rels a day, to break all war and peacetime marks, and | electricity produetion, at 305,000,000,000 kilowatt hours, | made the 128,000,000,000 kwh of 1939 look puny by com- parison Here and there there were areas of production | that did not keep pace with this general rate.

The worst year of the last two decades 1942, five; 1943, two; 1944, two: 1945, one; 1946, six; 1947, one. The reason for this declining rate is that nct only does education appear to be making progress but that more and more Southern officials, and especially law- | American clothing makers. enforcement officers, are living up to their oaths of | office and protecting Negro prisoners from lynch mobs, often at the risk of their own lives. the Tuskegee report says, no fewer than thirty-nine Last year, persons were saved from death by the prompt and courageous action of public officials in defying would- be lynchers.
