Business students of the situation
do not believe that this general boom
in industry will result in sudden and
extreme advance in the cost of living,
but they do believe that a good many
prices will go up and none at all will
decline in the next two years. The
price which already is visibly advanc-
ing is the price of labor. Already
there has been an advance, but fur
Their increases are inevitable. Partly,
this is because there is sure to be
competition in the labor market for
skilled and semi-skilled workers;
partly, because the demand for NUM-
ton production is so great that there
will be heavy overtime payments for
labor, and partly because the labor
organizations will probably be sue
cessful in maintaining the five-day
week and in maintaining their
"rights."

It is true that if labor goes up GER
tain other prices are bound to go up
too, but the experts in government
and business seem convinced that we
can avoid-at least in 1941-the kind
of inflationary price increases which
are perilous. Particularly, they insist
that there will be no steep advances
in prices for food, for clothing and for
rent. Of this they appear very certain,
indeed, though it is little difficult
for the ordinary man to understand
why. Probably one reason is the fore
cast that agriculture will not share
in the boom. Prosperity is not coming
to the farmer On the contrary, it is
pointed out that our agricultural eX-
port markets to Europe are now
mostly closed. Many of the countries
which once were among our best GUS
toners are now either conquered pro-
vinces or blocked against business.
There seems slight prospect that an
increased domestic demand can make
up for the loss of our export trade in
food products, and this may have
tendency to keep down food prices.
***
Also, this price-control business is
what Mr.. Leon Henderson, of the now
more or less sidetracked and subordi-
mated Defense Commission, is sup
posed to make his particular job. In
any event, there is an immense
amount of talk in Administrator cir
cles about price controls" and "infla-
tionary brakes" There is, in fact, so
much talk that it is impossible to
escape the impression that there is a
great deal more theory on this subject
than knowledge. The fact, is that this
matter of price advances is not one
that can really be controlled without
far more governmental power than
anyone now dealing with it has. The
further fact is that price rises are
largely the result of the operation of
basic economic laws and no one knows
very much about regulating them.
However, the bright boys of the Adj
ministration are full of ideas on the
subject and are going to make try
1t will be interesting to watch the
results.

Another thing of interest about the
coming boom will be its effect upon
the WPA and relief rolls. Within the
next two years, there seems every
reason to believe, there will be work
for practically everybody who wants
to work and is capable of working. If,
u : these circumstances, the WPA
elief rolls do not shrink to rela-
insignificant proportions, there
~ something rotten about the

The Boom Is Coming
Washington, Dec. 25.

Washington, Dec. %.
AS the armament billions begin to
pour out and our defense effort really
gets under way, it is inevitable that
there should be a tremendous business
boom. neutrality-suspicious. as well
as economists, labor leaders as well as
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. it is coming.
The more intelligent know, too, that
for variety of reasons the period of
prosperity just ahead is going to be
different in some important respects
from any such period we have had be-
fore.
First, of course, there will be full
production, full employment and over
time employment in the so-called
"heavy industries" which produce
iron, steel, ships, tools, planes, fac
tory equipment and manufacturing
construction. Very soon all workers in
the heavy industries will be fully
employed at good wages turning out
war material of one kind or another
for the army, the navy and the Brit
ish. 1t is, the economists say, when
the workers in the heavy industries
begin to spend their wages in buying
the products of the light industries,
which make consumers goods, that
the boom in those begins. Before the
middle of next year, the expectation
is, both light and heavy industries
will be fully employed and producing
to capacity.

been inducted for training and

been inf1ltrated into platoons, COM
panies, regiments and divisions for

Army, Reserve Corps and National

argued, without reason or fact, Of
course, by small yet noisy group
Of isolationists that the Congress
recently broke faith by the extern
sion of the period of service for an
additional ID months. 1t was plainly
stated in the original act that if
the Congress should subsequently
declare that the Nation was IN peril
they would be held for the period
of the emergency and until such
peril ceased to exist. Was the Con-
gress justified in declaring the Ma
ton in peril? I answer yes-a
thousand times yes.

In the world. Why the best trained?
Because it is the best-trained SOL

motion the machinery which ulti-
mately resulted in the expansion of
our present magnificent force.
Field Training Revived.
Because of inadequate numbers
and lack of funds, our Army for
ing SO essential to the efficiency OF
fighting force. This deficiency
was recognized by the military
authorities and in the winter of
1899 steps were taken to remedy it..
A large portion of the mobile force
in Continental United States was
sent to Southern stations where
weather conditions made possible
year around training.
When the present conflict began
we had the nucleus of a splendid
Army Air Force-but only nucleus.
In the spring of 1899, the Congress
had authorized a considerable ex-
pansion both in personnel and in
aircraft, but this expansion had
scarcely begun when hostilities
broke out in Europe. A tremendous
expansion of our aircraft industry
was necessary not only to supply
our own needs but also to meet
the requirements of France and
England.
Not only were we in need Of
thousands of additional airplanes,
but we also were faced with the
necessity of training thousands of
pilots, navigators, gunners, bonn
bardiers, radio operators and me-
chanics. A rapid increase in facili-
ties for this training was inmedi-
ately necessary. In September, 1899,
there were 1881 officers and 28,030
enlisted men in our Army Air Corps.
Today we have 7,0l8 officers and
145,017 enlisted men. To fly and
service the aircraft now under order
will necessitate a still further ex-
pansion in personnel.
The progress of the war disclosed
certain features of some of the
foreign aircraft that it was desirable
TO- incorporate in our own planes.
These included heavier protective
armor, armament Of larger calibers
and leak-proof gas tanks. In range,
speed and maneuverability, our
planes compared very favorably
with those in use in Europe, while
our bomb sights were definitely
superior to those in use anywhere.
Designs of our warplanes were
changed in the light Of European
experience and the desirable fea-
lures of foreign aircraft were added,
SO that American-built planes are
now among the worlds best.
The fighting In Europe during
