percentage of the nations business
done by giant" corporations has
been increasing. Production by such
large enterprises comprises about 40
per cent of the total, which is about
the same percentage as obtained
generation ago.
Big and Little Companies Work
Together
The study shows how big and lit
tie companies work together to the
advantage of both. Large corpora
tions are generally able to spend
more freely to maintain competent
technical and management staffs,
and these companies have usually
been in the front of price reduction.
But smaller concerns also benefit
from this la agge-scale production.
With larger concerns purchasing
their supplies IN large quantities
and planning production far in ad-
vance, smaller companies which sell
them supplies and raw materials are
in turn able to plan production on
the most economical basis. Many
small concerns also find it easier to
borrow money from local banks and
other sources when they have con-
tracts with large corporations.
Operation of industrial enter
prises at their practical capacity is
necessary if the nation is to have
maximum production of goods, the
report of the study says. Forward
looking price policies, constantly
aiming toward giving the consumer
more for his money, were found to
be the most important factor in
bringing about capacity operation.
The high level of employment
which would come with such capaci-
ty operation would have far greater
effect in raising living standards
than any employment which the
government could provide.
Since 1870, while our large cor.
porations have been developing,
the amount of manufactured goods
which the average workers weekly
wage would buy was multiplied by
two and half. At the same time, the
working week was reduced by about
one-third.
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-09-22

Manufacturers today compete not
only in the pricing of their products,
but also in the development of new
products and new uses for raw mate
rials. The result may be even more
useful to the people as whole than
in the days when the prices Of near
ly all goods were fixed by direct
bargaining in the market.
The making of prices over large
part of industry is vastly changed
from what it used to be. The pro-
ducer estimates in advance a price
at which an article can be bought by
an expanding number of people and
then finds way to turn out prod
uct within that price.
Almost everyone is aware that
this is the way automobile prices
are set, and the study found that the
three largest concerns in this indus
try have set the high water mark Of
competition thus far.
Today. it is almost IMPOSSIBLE for
so-called monopolies to keep prices
unduly high in order to make big
profits. Advances in physics, chem
istry, and engineering have been so
great in recent years that, whenever
a corporation tries TO do this, some
one comes along with satisfactory
substitute at a lower price.
Previous studies made at the
Brookings Institution indicated that
the best method of passing on to the
public the BENEFITS of improved pro-
ductive efficiency is by giving the
consumer lower prices.
Policies of Many Corporations
Are Examined
In the latest study, entitled "In.
dustrial Price Policies and Eco
nomic Progress" specific inquiries
were made into the policies of many
manufacturing concerns to find out
whether they were aimed in this d.
rection. The study was made by DR..
Edwin G.. Nourse, director of eco
nomic research, and DR.. Horace B.
Drury, a member of the staff. 1t was
financed under a grant by the Maui
rice and Laura Falk Foundation of
