problem. 1t gets at the heart of all
ISSUES involved and if accepted and
followed will do more than amy

'lteded teamwork between manage
mcnt and labor.
This timely summary comes from

Manager Of the Hudson Motor Car
I Umpany and evidences the fact
that some industrialiStS are alert to
the basic need in our effort to get
ON Il peaCetime footing
In an interview with Il group of
pew spapcrmen making national
survey of recOnversion, Mr.. Bcrit
said:
There was only one aspect of
conversion to war work. That was
physical conversion. There are two
aspects to recOnvcrsion physical
and PSYCHOLOGICAL. The physica,
side OF recOnNcrSiOn. that OF chang
in% machines and tools and plants
to the production of ueacetimc
SOods is and has been a relatively
simple task il, most industries. The
psychOlO@ical aspect of recOnvpr-
sion is not as Yet accomplished
1t has not yet become manifest to
all, that pcacetime production is as
important in maintaining our Sy-
stem Of life as was wartime nro-
ductlOn when We were fighting 10
preserve this system. AS soon as il
does We can then forget about the
worries Of rcCOnVerSion."
The President of Hudson has civ
cn the country something to think
about. During the war there was a
concerted drive to make our pe0plp
war conscious. Back the Attack"
was the phrase of the hour. Yet
Hothin@ has been done to create an
individual and mass desire TO
Back America. This will come MS
Mir. Barit we'll says. when sufficient
attention is given to the psvcholo-
&ical side of reCOnversiOn.
As Hudson was one of tho fira
