THERE IS STILL MUCH WORK LEFT
FOR US TO DO

those sleeky, stremlined trains that the
railway lines have been throwing about
the country lately come close to being the
most encouraging single thing that has
happened since the depression.
Or, to be more exact, the public re-
Spouse to them does.
Since those trains appeared, the news
papers and magazines nave been full Of
predictions of vast new railroad construc-
tion programs. Hand in hand with this has
come a great revival of interest in new
types Of construction in other fields.
Makers of steel houses are stirring from
the long sleep. Automobile makers are
playing around with new designs. Even
the output Of such things as refrigerators
and household furniture has been affected.
Now all this, to begin with. Is simply the
process of putting ourselves on tiptoe to
peer into an enormous new field that is
fairly begging for industrial expansion.
A great opportunity awaits American
business, somewhere not far off; it begins
to look as if we would be moving into it in
Afc near 1uluAC.
But there is more to ii than that. 1t also
signifies the revival Of the old, traditional
American spirit. We are discovering that
the world is not coming to an end, after
all-that there is work to be done, and lots
of II, and that we might Just as we'll roll
up our sleeves and get busy on II.
We talked so much about over-produc-
tion, over-expansion, and ~over-capitaliza-
ton in the last four years that we fooled
ourselves into thinking that we had left our
golden age away off be hind us somewhere.
Everything was finished, all the big jobs
had been done. and the only thing that
would ever set the wheels going again was
a great program Of occasionally useless
public works.
Then we saw a couple of brand-new
types of railroad train, did a little medita-
tion. and discovered that II just wasn't so.
There is enough work crying to be done
in this country to keep us all busy for gen.
erations.
When we nave remade the worlds
greatest railroad system, rebuilt some mil
lions of homes, harnessed all our streams,
restored our failing forests, checked soil
erosion and performed a dozen other sim
liar 50-year-iobs-then it may be time for
us to look abound and ask, what Next"
