Industry Statistics Cited.
The magnitude of the problem
confronting the Nation in reconver-
sion from war to peacetime produc-
ton was brought out by Emerson P.
Schmidt. United States Chamber
of Commerce, who cited statistics
showing that s2.5 per cent of Ameri-
can industry is in the category of
small" business, or plants with 100
employees or less. He also quoted
figures showing that small business
has grown in both numbers and
value of output in the last 30-year
period, although its share of total
business shrunk. He said the figures

business have increased.

The solution to the problem, Mr..
Adams said, would have to be de-
vised by Government and big busi-
nessmen, because the small busi-
nessman "is thoroughly immersed
in either keeping up with an unac-
customed rush of business or trying
to hang on and stay open-depend-
ing on his type of business"
