1860 is shaping up as a veal

This pattern of solid but moi

spending plans in 1860. To bt
specific:
At the week end, the Com.
nerce Department and Securi.
ties & Exchange Commission
released a survey on busines!
plans for plant expansion anc
improvement.
This survey indicates thai
Just about every type of bust.
ness intends to increase its in.
veStments in new factories anc
equipment this year by ar
overall figure of more than Il
per cent over 1859. This woulc
lift total outlays to above So
billion, at last bring them back
to the all-time peak level Of
1857.
Today came the National
Industrial Conference BOARD
survey, made under the spon-
sorship of Newsweek, of what
industry actually is earmark
ing in cash to finance these ex-
panSion plans.
This survey shows that even
IN the strike depressed fourth
quarter of 1859, appropriations
of cash by manufacturing com
panies for their new plants
were running a 40 per cent
over a year ago.
Either survey alone would be
significant, but together they
make a persuasive story, since
the earmarking of the cash
for the factories represents the
translation of plans into real
ity. What's more, the NICB
study discloSeS that cancella-
tons of appropriations in
1885 final quarter were only
half the year ago rate and at
the lowest percentage in the
history of the survey.
The message is clear. Rising
spending by business is second
only to rising spending by con-
sumers as an economic spur. AS
an illustration. when a corpo-
ration puts up new factory,
it makes jobs and paychecks
at the hundreds of companies
supplying lumber, steel, nails,
etc. for the factory. 1t directly
gives jobs and paychecks to the
workers building the factory
1t puts money into the cash
registers of all the stores, shops
and services catering to the
workers affected.
Why, then. don't these sur
veys spell all-out BOONE
The explanation is that
