The National Outlook
Business Hits All-Time High
By Ralph Robey
President Kennedy, with ob
vious pride, announced at his
press conference that in the sec
ond quarter of this year gross
national product was $51.5 b.l
lron. His pride was justified be
cause the previous high was just
a year earlier and was $506 bil
lion. In the first three months
of 1961 the total was $5Ol bil
lion.
Gross national product, it will
be recalled, is the tota monetary
value of all goods and services
produced in the nation. It is
the broadest possible measure of
economic activity. The main
criticisms directed at it are: it
goes up and down with changes
in prices (this can be corrected
for. using a special price index),
it is directly affected by govern
ment spending (and this item
has increased by several billion
during the past twelve months);
and there has to be a large pro
portion of the total which is

solely the result cf estimates.
The growth tram the first to
the second three months of this
year was sl4 billion. During
'.his period there was no appre
ciable change in prices, so that
rise was not caused by even
moderate inflation. Spending by
government federal, state and
local —did contribute significant
ly and so did a change from
inventory liquidation to inven
tory accumulation. But even
when allowance is made for all
this the prowth was notable and
most encouraging, and it is .gen
erally believed that the upswing
still is continuing and the third
quarter will show another sub
stantial jump.
Another measure of activity
which is widely followed is the
Index of Production, by the Fed
eral Reserve Board. On the
basis of 1957 as 100, the all
time high of this index was
January 1960. For that month
it was 111, which means 11 per-
cent above the average of 1957.
The low was IQ2 in February
of this year, and for June it
was 110. Included in this index
are practically all manufactur
ing industries and mining and
utilities. The basis of the meas
urement is physical units, so
changes in prices do not affect
the index.
Private housing starts in June
advanced for the second con
secutive month and for the first
time this year were at an an- j
nuai rate of 1,370,000. Original-!
ly the government estimated that
there would be 1,300,000 private
starts this year, but a few j
weeks ago the forecast was re
duced to 1,275,000, and some ex-i
perts think even this lower fig- 1
ure may be a bit high. It is
generally conceded that the new j
housing bill which became law j
a short time ago will have noi
important infuence this year.
This is because the measure is
so complicated that it will take
many months to prepare the ne j
pessary regulations and proced-'
ures. This bill, of course, was
the most extreme ever passed by

the Congress, and many per
sons are extremely worried as to
its ultimate effects. Overall con
struction is running at a record
level.
For some reason, however,
consumers are not spending as
freely as their income would
normally suggest. Retail trade
as a whole is' doing well in most
lines, athpugh hard goods are
rather sluggish. • No one knows
just why the consumers are so
■ hesitant, and the nation-wide
I surveys of consumer intentions
throw no real, light on the issue.
But it is clear that the future
i trend of the recovery—both the
! speed and the duration —will de
j pend to an unusual degree upon
' whether the hesitancy continues
among consumers,
i That we still are faced with)
! some serious problems , goes
! without saying. But with a con
tinuation of the uptrend some
of these will at least become
less pressing.
Forgive others often, but your
self never,
