The one-word answer is:

In view of the following facts
everybody should have reason
for confidence that unprece-

ment are on the way:

Why The Feers7

In face OF all this, why in
the name Of common sense
should this country be wracked
by fears of catastrophe unem-
ployment and of countless bust
ness bankruptcies?
Our economic problem. OF
course, cannot be handled salts
factorily by bureaucratic theo-
rists now influential in the
administration of national af-
fairs.
The infinite Importance of
wisely exercising priorities is
pictured thus by the practical
builder"
"Jobs of $500, 900 workers and
the existence of 100000 separate
businesses dependent on the
building industry would be seri-
ously threatened IL small
amounts of vital materials like
steel. lead. zinc and copper are
withheld from IL.
THE average $4,000 house
uses only two tons of steel, la
pounds of copper. II pounds of
zinc, 200 pounds of lead, 2 to 8
ounces of chromium. The esti-
mated number of such houses
needed this year, most of them
for defense - 100000 - would
consume only Is per cent.
"Of the country's annual steel
production, 4.32 per cent of its
copper output, 2.58 per cent of
available zinc, and s to 10 Der
cent OF the lead output"
Will the President and Con.
gress grapple with the momen-
tous, crucial problem of
successfully meshing war and
peacetime activities
