War Business Not Likely to
be Flash in Pan Says Babson

whether these be planes, guns,
tanks, rifles. or munitions. This
does not take into account new
inventions which for the most
part remain secret.
New Forms of Activity
Unless one is close to manufac-
turing and its relationship with
the defense program. 1t is difficult
to appreciate the Importance OF
constant improvements and re-
placements. The production OF de-
Tense products automatically sets
up an entirely new group OF re-
peat businesses and the growth Of
the defense industry is bound to
continue after World War IL is
over. Entirely new products will
arise as its archaeological process
es develop.
Let me recall the first test OF
what ultimately brought about
our modern battleship. After the
Monitor sunk the Merrimac on
March 8, 1852. did the building
of iron ships stop with the ending
OF the Civil War? No.-the little
Monitor started a great new in
dustry. the building of iron and
later OF steel ships for use in
both war and peace. The con-
struction Of ships is still going on.
Out of this industry pregnancy
Of Hitler's new and more far
reaching industry, new forms OF
ship construction. city planning.
and building of all kinds will de-
velop.
Rebuilding Started
Yes, as the bombing plane has
changed warfare It is drastically
changing the layout of cities and
the architecture of factories, shops,
and homes. New manufacturing
plants are already being built
without windows to avoid being
located at night. They are also be,
ing divided into separate build
ings so if one building is destroy
ed the other units can continue
work. AS cities have gradually
been rebuilt TO be more fireproof,
so they now will be rebuilt to be
bombproof. This will take many
years. The defense industry does
not mean solely the manufactur-
ing OF war implements of war
but should ultimately result in
changes in roads, water pipes, gas
mains, and power stations.
The construction of homes must
radically be changed to provide
the greatest protection. Civilian
population. which in today's war
fare suffers so much. must be
cared for through individual and
mass shelters School houses must
be re-designed as well as theatres
and other buildings. Additional
subways must be built to take not
only street cars, busses, ahsa& U
roads underground, but to proNNe
shelters for the public. There Is
no end to- the amount of new con
struction work that Hitter has
forced US into.
Conclusion
SO many manufacturers were
burnt" in the last war and were
left with unusable material and
idle plants that they now are shy
of war orders. Let me tell you,
however. they are making big
