The CURRENT ECONOMIC PICTURE !.

EDITORS Note: Since Mr.. Gaeth's
broadcast a couple of weeks back,
unemployment the nation over has
shown an increasing trend. Recent
news reports indicate that upwards
of 100000 are unemployed in
the state of California alone and that
almost half of the nations unem-
ployed are concentrated in the three
Pacific coast states. Other reports
indicate that the recession of 1949
seems to be hitting pretty generally
over the entire nation, and, unless
effective steps are taken immediate
ly by the congress the nation may be
into major depression before the
year is out.)

WHO BENEFITS FROM
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY?

Between 1889 and 1913, overall
productivity has increased almost
one third
This means that tire workers now
are doing the work that four turned
out in 1889.
In the electrical equipment indus
try, the increase in productivity dur
ing the same period was even greater
800.
The corporations have not lowered
prices in response to the increased
productivity.
Leon Keyserling of the Presidents
Council of Economic Advisers said:
'The leveling off or softening of
some prices has been exaggerated or
misinterpreted."
lie noted continued price increases
on rents, fuels and house furnishings
and metal products. He also pre-
dlcted a seasonal rise in the price of
meats in the spring and summer.
With prices high, working people
have not the purchasing power to
absorb the increased production. AS
a result, in December 1948, 100000
workers were thrown out of work
and the number of workers on part
time increased one half million. In
the electrical industry alone, $4,000
workers lost their jobs.

OF the President, January, 1919;

depression was that too few people
were getting too great a share of the
national income. Consumers could
not keep up with production because
they didn't have an adequate share
of the income. And that tendency
is developing again.
These are factors in our troubles
High taxes needed to maintain a siz-
able productive part-time war
economy; unreasonable profits of big
industry prices in many
fields again tending to pull away
from farm prices; and constantly re-
ducing take-home pay of workers.
We have overcome most of our war

not this thoughtful student. He
