Friday, December 22, 1950 to get as far awa A BIG DIFFERENCE We're glad the When America began to build an enormous war machine in 1940, it had some clear advantages. It had strong allies to do the fighting while its own war plants were geared up for mass production and while its own armies and fleets were built and trained. Equally important, we had extensive plant facilities standing idle, a backlog of unemployed, and a great reservoir of women who could enter the factories and offices . Today, circumstances are quite different. We have no such strong allies to take the brunt of a major enemy’s attack for two full years. Therefore, we have to emphasize military power in actual readi- ness, instead of reserve strength. Also, our industrial output is very near its peak and unemployment is Jow. As a result, any immediate spurt in production of war equipment must come from drastic cut-backs in output of civilian goods. The choice between guns and butter is far more acute than it was in 1940. The new preparedness pro- gram now taking form will have to come out of our standard of living to a much greater extent than was the case before World War II. It is just as well to face this fact frankly. if we do not make up our minds to the sacrifice of living standards entailed, we are going to walk they don’t want a had better let the more questions. asserts a business to vote who has t sults of an electiol Either a cons rather stay in the For l train should bear crew of men (Everett Herald.) into a dangerous inflation.
