Peace&ime Economy
Impossible to Predict
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics, N. Y. University
Chester Bowles OF the OPA, in
his recent speech at Yale. argues
in favor of setting up what he
calls The Peacetime Coun.e-
part of our wartime price fixing.
This, he says, is TO keep our
economy "functioning properly. .,
But can there be a peacetime
counterpart OF a war economy?
l for one believe that war is what
Sherman said il is, and that war
is fundamentally opposed TO econ
omy and economic values. II is
my well considered judgment that
no democratic nation should set
up any war agencies or organiza-
ton for use when il returns TO
peace.
This judgment Is strongly con-
flrmed by the Bowles statement
that the object of retaining the
war counterpart is TO keep the
peace economy functioning prop
erly. One objection to his idea is
that Bowles continually speaks OF
the economy as If il were
machine or set of storage tanks
and pipes which can be turned on
and off and manipulated in a
mechanical way. Our economy is
our society, and is made up OF
human individuals like YOU and
me. who have varied and changing
desires and feelings.

ban areas.
The President replied that he
doubled ''if a distribution of funds
determined by population alone
would result in public works of the
types and in the places where such
works would provide the greatest
benefits relative to their COST
Mr.. Roosevelt stated his opinion
that distribution of funds under the
Federal aid highway system should
continue under the present appor-
tionment on thebasis of 1-3 popu-
lation, 1-3 area and 13 postroads
for highways outside urban areas.
He also suggested apportion-
ments to states on the basis of
population for highways inside ur-
ban areas.
The distribution m u a con-
tanned in the bill before the COM
mittee proposes apportionment on
the basis of IL for population. IA
area and IA post-road mileage.
General Fleming described the
bill as very effective step to
take at this time" and added that
