AkAlYZED BY JAMES

The results OF this survey have
been summarized in the press and
the full report will be available in
the near future. Meantime, James
W. Parker, president aud general
manager OF the Detroit Edison
Company, has most effectively
anaIyzed the results az follows:
This is an earnest attempt to
determine az accurately as possible
what business conditions are going
to be and how many mensnd vo-
men can expect employment in
this Detroit area.
THE survey indicates that con-
ditions will be good. 1t must be
remembered, however, that the
estimates which make up this
composite opinion are based on
the assumption >that tools, ma
chimes, materials and supplies will
be available. Furthermore. there
was something OF a note OF opti-
mism in therequest that employers
furnish this information. We
wanted to see just what stride
business thinks it can hit under
highly prosperous conditions.
ITO me, the results indicate
that the manufacturers, end
other employers, are confident
that the market is big and eager,
THEY are eager to supply that
market and the labor require
ments should he large.
There exists a challenge to our
governments as well as to BUSH
ness, industry and labor. in this
