Proposals for maintaining full national production and employment after the war, without disastrous dis location and depression such followed the last are made in a pamphlet After the War - Full En- ployment" just published by the National Resources Planning Board Author of the pamphlet is pr. Alvin H. Hansen Littauer Professor of Economies at Harvard University and Special Economic Adviser to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 One of the major conclusions advanced in After the War-Full Employment" is
 We shall have when the war is over, the technical equipment the trained and efficient labor, and the natural resources required to produce substantially higher real income for civilian needs than any ever achieved before in our history Whether or not we shall in fact, achieve that level of income will depend upon our intelligence and capacity for cooperative action
 Pointing out that the immediate aim of the Ameri- people, military victory is not enough, the pam phlet states that social dsintegration and sooner later, another international conagration would be the result of postwar decade of economic illustration and mass unemployment.
 When the is over the Government cannot just dSband the army, close down munitions factories stop building ships, and remove all economic controls We want orderly program of Rehabilitation and recon @tructon. The Government cannot escape responsib- uty To fuhl It's responsibility 1t needs the hearty CO., operation of business, labor farmers and the profess sions in the great task of developing vigorous, banding and prosperous society"
 Outlining the scope of positive governmental pro- gram looking toward full employment winch would per init private enterprise to operate at high output eves Dr. Hansen points to many obecves which have spec ial reVelancy in Alaska.
 There is plenty of work to do. We need to carry on extensive research. to create products and de- velop new processes. We need to rehabtae and mod ernize transportation system-by land, water and air We need continued advance in the techniques of production distribution and transportation; in short in all those elements that enter into higher stand ard of living. We need to rebuild America Many public deVelopmenal projects open fresh outlets for private investment. We need public health program, including expansion of hospital facilities. We need a program to improve and extend cultural and creational facilities. We need program to im- prove and extend cultural and recreational fac- tes. We need enrichment of the material and spir- tual resources of American way of life We have seen how it is possible to mobilize the productive cap aciteS of the country for war We also mobilize them for peace"
