- PRODUCTIVITY AIDS | LIVING STANDARDS Commerce Department Work | for Past Year Reviewed [ by Secretary Lamont. By the Associated Press An unbroken advance in American productivity was cited today by Secre- tary Lamont as the fundamental cause ©f rising standards of living. In this factor, he found “conclusive evidence” that business progress is not wiped out by periods of depression This cheering word went to Congress in his annual report. “It has marked a permanent achieve- ment,” he said, “and when the present recession is over the same upward movement will unquestionably be re- sumed.” The report dealt with the fiscal year which closed Juns 30. It included a survey of economi trends and a resume of the Commerce Department’s activi- tles. Wage Maintcaance Cited. Mr. Lamont said it was “a note- worthy fact that practically no cuts in wages have been made by employers as a result of the recession of business.” This he saw as contrasting sharply with the practices of previous slack periods and as evidence of a widespread conviction that “permanent progress in prosperity is dependent on liberal wages and consequent large buying power on the part of the masses of the people.” Greater skill and intel.gence among the workers, improved rathods of or- ganization and management, advances in science and invention and increased use of capital as an aid to labor were listed as the causes of increased output Pper workman Amorg the major economic phe- nomena_of the fiscal year, the Com- merce Secretary referred to a ‘‘very considerable decline” in commodity prices, which broke “the steadiness” that characterized the price levels of Tecent years. In the field of transportation in- creased efficiency was noted, with rail- roads “handling more traffic with fewer employes, fewer freight cars and fewer locomotives than in any other years of similar business volume.” Waste Decrease Taught. The security markets dominated financial conditions, Lamont said, and loans for the sale and purchase of se- curities were generally regarded as hav- ing had “a most disturbing effect” on the money market. A decline in Amer- ican loans abroad was noted. Efforts to decrease waste in industry, & home building campaign conducted on a national scale, increased service to business both at home and abroad and continued service to commercial avia- tion were cited among the activities of the department. Its services to aviation were given as the examination of aircraft and airmen for license, the maintenance of the Fed- eral airways system. assistance to com- munities in the selection of airports, determining the causes of accidents and furnishing the public with information on civil aeronautics.
