The immediate carrying out Of
only a fraction of our needs in these
lines of production will put to work
every idle man and every idle
dollar.
The purchasing power Of the labor
and capital thus proftably employed,
plus normal demand, plus foreign
demand, will keep every wheel turn
ing, every factor of commerce busy
at top speed.
Every dollar wisely expended on
productive lands, buildings, railways,
good roads, power plants and similar
undertakings is an addition to the
permanent wealth and industrial pro-
gress of the nation.
