 But keeping factories running and the country prosperous calls for a lot of things. First of all, the government will be obliged to do its part in order to give pri- vate business it's chance.
 Sound postwar prosperity does not depend on any one thing, but on a combination of many things. Some of these are easy to under stand and can be controlled, which is good For instance, the quick change back of industrial machinery to civilian use, so it can serve as a part of our free economy - that's an ann we Will all approve, I am sure It means jobs.
