Consumer Demand
Is Falling Short of
Productive Capacity

To an increasing extent the cap
acity of American industry to pro-
duce has not been matched by the
ability of American workers to con-
sumo at present day prices. During
1949 workers purchasing power fell
approximately 23.5 billion dollars
short of production.
This gap was met by an increase
in inventories of Sc billion to stock
up distribution outlets, by an in
crease in consumer debt of $2.5 bill
lion and by workers drawing on some
Is billion dollars of savings. These
expenditures were not able to stop
lay-offs at the end of 1948.
In 1949 the situation will be ag-
gravated. Companies are cutting
down on their already overloaded
stocks, not increasing them. Saw
ings are exhausted in the lower in
come groups. Workers already in
debt can't afford to increase their
Indebtedness to buy any goods other
than absolute necessities.
In 1949 an additional S7.5 billion
in consumers demand will be needed
to meet the increased production
which will result from increased pro-
during the year.
To the extent that wage increases
will supply the purchasing power
needed to absorb the deficit between
production and spending, to that ex-
tent will employment levels be main
tanned.

Druggists Look With
Increased Favor
On Health Bill

"The more the retail druggist
knows about the Truman proposal
for national health insurance, the
more likely he is to favor it," says
the March issue of the american
Druggist.
Reporting on the result of post
card poll taken among the, nations
druggists, the magazine found that
1857 of the druggists favor the
Truman Health Plan today, in con-
trast to 8.2% who in 1916 approved
the er-Murray-Dingell bill-es-
sentially the same program.
The American Druggist reports
that in metropolitan areas of over
100000 people, the percentage sky
rocketed to almost 400. Gin east
ern large cities, 500 of the druggists
favor the PLAN" it states.
The article, written by Bernard
Zerbe, managing editor of the month
ly, has the mystifying head GA Dan
ger Signal" for Zerbe goes on to
say:
'In December, $40 of all drug
gists favored the plan, but when
they knew how it would work, 1887
favored it. In the current tabula-
ton, when all druggists know how it
will work, 1850 favor it."
The retail druggist should know
all he can about the health plan, says
Zerbe, E'for Is million Americans
visit drug stores every day. It their
questions go unanswered, pharmacy
will be remiss in its responsibilities"
The magazine received 2,501 re-
turn post cards in the poll, represent
ing a 4.8% cross-section of the drug
gists throughout the Countrywide
News.

ROAD TO SURVIVAL
By MILDRED OLDENBURG,
Trego, Montana

With the appearance of Vogt's
"Road to Survival, another voice has
been added to the coterie which in
cludes many conventional college bio
logists and scientists who, generally
speaking, are now popularizing the
theory that it is impossible to feed
the growing world population with
anything like optimum diet from
world agricultural resources. Per-
haps the greatest service rendered
by this group is the attention it has
drawn to the vast exploitation of nat
ural resources, both in our country
and elsewhere. For example, when
the Pilgrim fathers landed on these
shores, the average top soil was nine
rich black inches, whereas today it
is but six, and even more startling, we
in the United States are losing $780,
900 productive acres annually. To
the extent that such information can
prod some of our Neanderthal-mind-
ed congressman into appropriating
money for soil conservation, reclaim
alton and scientific research, it is in
valuable.
But from another standpoint, what
men of little faith are these supposed
scientists! They remind one of the
clerk in the US. Patent Office at
the turn of the century who felt NOR
ally obligated to resign his position,
for after all, said he, everything in
ventable had been invented in the
10Th century and his job was no long
er necessary.
Let's examine this Malthusian the
sis in modern garb. Just recently
in the Soviet Union a new strain of
wheat was developed bearing several
heads on one stalk. What POSSIBLE
tiles for increased grain production
this one item alone envisages?
Further, in the disputed Negev des-
citrus orchards out of the desert
sands and wastes, pointing the way

own country, despite the soil erosion

ton methods have produced record
breaking crops with smaller acre
ages. And what of soil-less culture,
the surface of which has barely
been scratched. Surely, with proper
impetus, science could unfold agricul-
trail wonders as yet but dreamed of.
For example, in a recent article
in Look magazine it was stated that
way had been found for turning
crude molasses into a high-protein
food yeast. Thus we are introduced
to the possibilities of nourishing and
palatable artificial foods.

culture and writer of that author
itative text THE Soils That Support
U.s.. Unlike the plundered earth
school of pessimists, he believes that
even without the addition of new
areas of production, world food needs
could be met for cereals, roots and
tubers and sugar. New areas of
production in Africa, South America,
the tropics and the tundra of the
frigid zones would be needed to sup
ply more fats, oils, beans, peas and
nuts, meat and milk. And over all,
of course, would be the application
and extension of present scientific
knowledge of all kinds to world pro-
duction, plus developments in rec
lamation and hydro-electric power
plants. This leads us to DR.. Kel-
logg's observation that it is not so
much matter of productive soils
as it is of developing social institu-
lions to put the soils into production.
To that one must add: and a distribu-
tive system that can supply the need
wherever it may be.
Just think, at this very moment in
world history, when millions are
starved, semi-starved and just plain
undernourished, a record breaking
potato crop by American farmers
proved to be headache to the gov
eminent and price penalty to the
farmers who raised it. In fact, our
whole agricultural peacetime produc-
ton problem seems to concern itself
with preventing "overproduction"
After the liberation of North
Africa in the last war, a vast food
production plan for large areas of
that country, principally designed to
meet the anticipated world food
shortage and prevent starvation after
the wars elimination, never mate
rallied. We presume that vested
interests in this country applied the
necessary pressure to prevent the
emergence of such competition and
consequent "overproduction" This
is but one example of the voluntary
check on food expansion which ex-
lists in ruling circles of the world
today. And still we are told that
on this planet earth there is not
enough arabic land for our needs!
Surely it is evident that the prob
lem of feeding the world adequately
is not a problem of scientific pro-
duction alone: that we could trust
science to solve. 1t is a problem of
economics and politics as well. 1t
calls for national planning and plan
ming on a world wide basis, and such
planning would entail some degree
of world government no doubt.
The foregoing has assumed that
world production can adequately
feed world population, if given full
play, regardless of. the rate of human
reproduction. However, population
increase is one facet of the problem
that has aroused much comment.
Our -Malthusians speak of two
"checks" on unlimited increase: ma
tural lie. wars, famines, plaques,
etc. and voluntary (planned parent
hood, etc.. The latter "check"
arouses religious ire; the first is
surely denial of every progress in
human relations and modern trends
of thought; it should arouse every
ones ire. The fact is that when
standards of living are raised, life it.
self becomes more precious, and
there is greater degree of balance
between population increase and the
means of subsistence.
