Postwar Rise
Called in Step
With History

A new Government study
takes q little Of the zip out of
what many refer to as the Ma

growth.
The post-World War II boom
actually hasn't been too much
out Of step with history. the
Commerce Department indi-
Gates.
Looking at national output
growth over the long term, II
says. the postwar achievement
is broadly in line with the rec
ord Of the last half century.
Putting the last IS years into
perspective. the new statistical
study entitled ~. S. Income
and Output" emphasizes the
50-year record and the effect
Of price increases since 1909.
The department reported
that on this basis economic
growth has averaged 3 per cent
a year ever since the l909-ls
administration Of VILLA m
Howard Taft.
Long Term Trend Straight
The study showed growth
rates exceeded the 50-year av-
erage during both World Wars,
But the long-term trend. even
in recent years, has stuck close
to a straight line, slanting up
ward except for a big dip rep
resenting the depression of the
1930s.
Growth is discussed in terms
Of the gross national product

value Of all goods and services
produced.
The department said output
owe rthe so years has increased
twice as fast as the population.
1t added that since 1947 output
has outstripped population
growth by about 20 per cent.
In 1858, the national product
was about $438 billion. The
study said this compared with

$l96 billion at the end OF the
1920s and $ll2 billion in 1909,
Since price changes are
taken into account. these fig
ures show that the volume OF
output has increased by nearly
400 per cent over the last so
years.
Between l947 and 1857, the
report said, output increased
more than 40 per cent.
Present Increase In Line
Charts and figures In the
study give this picture Of re-
cent economic expansion:

then. the increase in national
output has been closely In line

Productivity, measured ir

This has meant a steady rist
