Any. signs of businessmen cut- ting back on new orders and start- ing to live off their high inven- tories—the thing that brought on the recession of 1949. And any cutback in business plans to spend money on new plants and equipment, These three things are consid- ered by many businessmen as the chief things to watch for just now. They believe that the other prop of the boom--high government spending for defense—will be low- ered slowly, if at ail. But if consumers grow cautious, and if businessmen live off inven- tories and drop present plans to spend record sums on further ex- pansion—then the boom may top out quickly and business slow down. In recent days business leaders have been quick to issue optimis- tic statements, saying that in the long run peace, if it comes, could only be bullish. Any possible stretch-out in the defense program, if it means lower taxes and more materials for civilian production, would do little to hamper present prosperity, these leaders contend. Business activity is now at an all-time high. National output of goods and services is now at an annual rate of 363 billion dollars, up 3 billion dollars over the last three months of 1952, and com- pared with 340 billion dollars in the first three months of last year. Businessmen have pushed their spending for plant and equipment to a new record annual rate of 27 "THE VOICE OF LOVE “You don’t.
