LIE ECONOMIC GUARD

Proposals TO prepare now for
the economic hangover" expect
ed to follow Americas rearma-
ment spree which are receiving
organized labor and bipartisan
Senate support, viii lend encour-
agement for the many who are
worried about the collapse which
they fear is unavoidable unless
some cushion is provlaed to break
the shock when spending for the
national defense and British-aid
programs ends.
II would be q good plan 10 set
up a representative commission
TO study likely economic problems
that will confront the nation
when the war ends, and TO for
mulate a comprehensive program
for the full utilization OF Amer
ica's. resources Of men and ma
chimes in maintaining and i'm
proving the economic well-being
Of all the people.
President Roosevelt has. rec
ognized the need for such plan
ming. In his budget message 10
Congress he reduced usual
expenditures for public works
and rivers and harbors i'm
provement work, explaining. it
is very wise for US 10 establish a
reservoir OF post-defense projects
TO help absorb the labor that la
ter will be released by defense
Industry
The first formal proposal for
a planning commission came from
Sen. Robert F. Wagner. D., y.
Y, sponsor of much administra-
ton legislation, who suggested
a committee Of 12-six appointed
by the President. three senators
and three representatives, TO be
called the "Post-Emergency Eco
nomic Advisory Commission.
Rep. Jerry Voorhis. D., Calf,
is preparing a measure to create
a national council OF unemploy-
ment and postwar economic ad-
iustments consisting OF represen-
tatives OF capital labor. farmers,
consumers. unemployed and other
groups.
Government economists esti-
mate that by the end OF 1871
about 100000 unemployed will
have been given jobs since the
defense program began. This
temporary relief is good in a
way but it threatens a dangerous
drop ahead. It is to guard against
such reaction, if possible. that
the economic commission is pro-
posed.
II We are TO avoid a post-emer-
gency economic collapse, a multi
tude OF problems will press for
solution in the field OF employ.
ment. in foreign trade. and in our
fiscal. agricultural and industrial
policies. Consideration of these
problems should begin promptly
in order that fully matuTed plans
may b. available when the emer-
gency ends The conversion from
a defense-economy to a peace
time economy. with minimum
OF shock and disorder In the eco
monte system. will call for states

the part of the party of the sec

that probably the cradle had come
from the right place.
The convenience Of the arrange

We did not want to go to hos

Of the cradle, so the cradle was
brought to us. The cost was $3.50

we did not have to go TO a hos

breakfast in the cold grey dawn

day.at 4 80 in the afternoon. Fur
