The view held in administration
quarters is that the United States
will have business boom of major
proportions. In fact, one of the
main reasons why the New Deal is
stubbornly resisting any modifica-
ton in wage and hour or Govern
ment contracts laws is that there
is an expectation of such an in
creased volume of business at higher
prices as to move up the whole
national income by a substantial
margin.
Certainly the present tax rates
and the proposed rates now pending
are sufficient to bring in an un-
paralleled revenue if the national
income is boosted by $4,000 900 900
or more. The resultant situation
would not be permanent any more
than any other form of pump
printing has been, but the net
effect would be to postpone still
further the day of reckoning be-
tween artificial and natural re-
covery. 1t would, of course, send
the business curve up for the re-
mainder of this year, anyway.
Adds to Other Spending.
Even without the sudden expan-
sion in the defense program, the
last half of 1910 was calculated to
bring good business. The admin
istration had gotten from Congress
huge appropriations with f1exibility
so that big sums could be spent in
the early months of the fiscal year
beginning July /. The assumption
among political observers in Con-
gress has been the spending would
bring prosperous conditions and
that the New Deal would benefit
at the polls just as it did in 1886.
This time the spending program
Is larger than in any presidential
year, heretofore. The disbursements
of the Federal Government will be
the largest in our peacetime history.
Even before the invasion of Holland
and Belgium brought a serious turn
IN the war and enlarged Americas s
defense program, the Federal Gov.
eminent was scheduled to spend
more than $28,000,000 a day. Now
with the new armament program
the expenditures will go much
higher.
Fears of an inflationary trend
have been brushed aside by the plan
to raise money by taxation to meet
the defense expense. But while
this is the orthodox way to do it
and the formula will be reassuring
to the orthodox economists and the
conservatives, nothing is being said
about the way the relief expense is
to be paid for. Hence, deficits will
be bigger than heretofore, due to
the insistence of the public on
adding materially at this time to
the defense expenditure
Inflationary Movement Forecast.
Ultimately, an inflationary move
ment seems inevitable. Prices will
begin to rise naturally as a con-
sequence of increased demand, but
this is more likely to occur in the
heavy goods industries rather than
In the consumer goods field.
But as between a system of rigid
economy and an increase in the out
put per man, which is one way to
keep labor costs down, the adminis-
tration prefers to see wages and
output retained at about the same
level, hoping that the sudden rush
Of orders will give the managers of
business sufficient margin over costs
to create the necessary incentives
to profit and good wages.
In a political year it was to be
expected perhaps that the New Deal
would choose the easy rather than
the hard way, would prefer raising

1t is the temporary setback due
