as either leading to stagnation and
business reverses due to over pro

channels.

lean production during the war" he
said, has been projected into the
first years OF peace because of the
exhausting of the worlds reserve

in a quite unmistakable way with
the fact that we are able to produce
more than we can sell at home. We
shall face, such an emergency for
foreign trade as we never before ex
pected. Either we shall find markets
abroad for the surplus of our indus
trial production or we shall cease to
produce it, which is quite unlikable
That way lies stagnation, unemploy-
ment and business reverses."
