armament industry for direct pub- lie spending. It is, of course, an- other form of public spending. But it differs from the second phase in one important particular.
 In the plan employed since 1883 the government paid out its funds -or the great bulk of them di- rectly to consumers who there upon spent them in business. The funds were syphoned into business through direct payments to con- sumers. But in this past phase the governments funds are paid out, not to consumers, but to producers
 the consumers benefiting indi- rectly.
 MONEY NOW GOING
 TO PRODUCERS
 These two systems differ in this respect: Where the government pays its funds out directly, the pay- ments are small-relief stipends or limited weekly payments to WPA workers farm workers, etc. But where government spends its money by paying it out to producers and contractors, the workers who benefit are paid full time standard wages and the payments include profits to private individuals. The sums that must be expended are invariably much larger by this system than the former one.

 These figures are perhaps the most important extant today = for they are the explanation and hold the key to what is happening and will happen in business during the coming year.
 What has happened and what is the outlook. under these strange and difficult circumstances, we will see in succeeding articles. But the first thing to bear in mind is that while defense expenditures have risen, they have not yet ex- ercised their full force upon the business world.
 NEXT: Will defense spending

I speak of this as third phase. The first phase of our economic life in this respect would be that which has persisted since the be- gining of our history until 1883. In that phase the motor power in the business economic system was private investment.
 The second phase began in 1883 when the government spending of borrowed funds was substituted for private investment.
 The third phase is now here. It is the substitution of a defense or
