MORE PROSPERITY
SAYS SECRETARY
THERE WILL BE NO DEPRESSION
IN UNITED STATES AT END
OF EUROPEAN WAR.

WASHINGTON May 11.-There will
be no industrial depression in the
United States at the end of the Euro
pean war in the opinion of Secre-
tary of Commerce Redfied who to.
day wrote William p, Malburn as.
sistant secretary of the treasury, that
the country's so-called war business
does not exceed probably per cent
of its total industrial and commercial
activity. The letter was in reply to
suggestion by Mr.. Malburn that the
American people are in danger of over.
looking preparedness for peace
Necessary readjustmelts after the
war will be important, and perhaps
serious, Mr.. Redfield wrote, but the
relative importance of war business
generally is over-estimated.
80 far as we can learn it does not
exceed one-quarter of our exports he
continued. "and possibly is not quite
that much. Even without them our
exports would be much larger than be-
fore the war. Our shipments to South
hiCiiNo, ioi VAdhnpic, nave uouDISu
lor more.
"lt does not seem to me quite pro
portional to the facts to suggest that
we may find ourselves at the close
of the war with vast organization
suitable to the production of goods
needed in war times, which organiza
'tion win be useless In the first place
the extent of the new organization
of this kind is not great compared
to all our large additions of the kind
but in their comparative bulk they are
not great. Neither is it, venture
to think, quite the fact that they
would be useless in time of peace.
Especially is this so if our own
preparedness takes a more substantial
form than in the past 1t Is, how
ever | think, the more important fact
that plans of this kind are not limited
to one particular product, or even
available for many forms of manufac
ture and the new organization and
equipment will be great asset IL
maintaining our export trade when tn,
war is over.
Il doubt if there Is any such ex
tent of war business as to involve
such consequences as having many
plants lying idle and railroads suf
fering from lack Of goods to carry
or the total industrial and CONNER
, cial business Of the country ! thinl
IT is probably safe to say that the so
, called war business does not excee,
5 per cent"
INDUSTRIAL preparedness is going oI
all the time, the secretary added, AM
will be aided by legislation recon
mended by governmental agencies.
