Arms Race Expected
To Dwarf Records
OF 1929 Boom
Activity Already High,
With Defense Results
Just Beginning
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The records
rate the 1929 business boom as the
greatest in history, and at its col
lapse, disillusioned economists said
we might not see the like of it again
for so years or more.
Today some of the later genera
ton of economists are saying the
predicted industrial expansion from
defense spending, if realized, may
make the peak activity marks re-
corded IL years ago seem as nothing
more than half-speed business.
Within recent weeks some of the
barometers of trade again have
topped the highest figures of 1929.
Pace Already Fast.
A significant point in the recent
fast rise of mill and factory output,
railroad freight loadings. electric
power output and other indicators,
some say, is the fact it has been
attained without appreciable stimu-
lation from the defense program.
The defense plans are only now
beginning to emerge from the blue
print stage, and several more months
may elapse before factories start
work on the big orders for the steel.
copper and other materials which
will be required.
AS the business analysts see it, If a
real war boom is ahead it will take
off from even higher levels than the
best shown in 1929.
For example: Steel ingot produc-
ton in August of this year amounted
TO 6,O33,O37 tons which compared
with the 1929 monthly record of S.
92O,596 tons; electric power output
for the latest week was 1859 .66l 900
kilowatt hours highest in history
against 1925 best of 1860 ,02l 900
klloWatt hours; at the end of Au-
gust there were 17,18l 300 telephones
in service (also a record high COM
pared with the previous boom period
peak of around 100000.
Rail Loadings Behind.
Railroad carloadings, it was point
ed out, are virtually alone among
the important business indices which
still trail the 1929 high marks. For
the latest week the freight move
ment totaled 822,434 cars against
1908, ,l39 for the most active week in
1929.
To the followers of Wall Street
and the financial markets the pres
ent boom picture is not fully round
ed out because Wall Street, far from
being the boom :front" as in 1929,
actually has slipped in recent months
to the lowest plane of activity for 20
years or more.
