GOOD NEWS FOR CORPORATIONS Babson Says Standardiza tion Increases Profits and Lowers Prices By ROGER W. BABSON Washington, D. C., April 17. ? * Rationing is becoming a familiar word in our speech. Now sOandardizatl o n Is to be its twin in the vocabu lary of our war economy. W e "ain't seen noth ing yet" in the way of actual rationing o r standardizatio n. The necessity of doubling our in dustrial war pmduclinn nvpry twelve months BABSOJC and the Importance of eliminat ing waste in luxury and non-es sentials will shortly strip us of many things. Our heretofore free indulgence and mode of life, characterized by material abund ance, should slowly but surely pass from the American family scene. FACE FACTS, FORGET FANCIES The U. S. A. has the greatest industrial production facilities in the world. It' is also a large ag rarian country although exceeded in this respect by India and Rus sia. Our Industrial activity in the past has been devoted to tihe production of goods of a peaceful nature. Almost overnight we have been obliged to about face and turn our Industrial capacities and our agricultural output into a vast coordinated machine for waging an offensive war. Great Britain and the United States have been such powerful peace-time nations that they have underestimated the war prepara tions of other countries. Further more, t-hey have relied too much upon sending a boy to do a man's work. This has been true |n diplomatic functions, In the han dling of production problems, and in the strategy employed In bat recent- weeks have done much to wake us up. We now face facts rather than a continuance of fan cy living. No longer will It ba possible or fashionable to have two cars in the garage, two maids in the kitchen, aud two mortgag es on the house! KHIM.S ARE Ol'T The elimination of waste in all forms is an important factor In winning the war. We should voluntarily give up the luxuries and non-essenMals. the produc tion of which Interferes with war needs. It Is necessary to provide labor supplies and I>roductlve fa cilities and storage space for the more Important needs of war pro duction. Hence, we have restric tions and standardizations in many, many lines of consumer goods. Women's skirts ?rtT1 get short er and their stockings may dis appear. Men's suits, while pret ty well standardized, will be cut on new lines to conserve cloth. Many liquid foodstuffs will ap pear as dried varieties packed In paper rather than in metal con tainers. Plywood and plastics will become standard substitutes for many metal products. This will help certain wood working and chemical companies which are now being converted into sources of new supplies. CJKT ACCUSTOMED TO CHANGES Consumer goods, especially per sonal and household effects, will show, marked changes. Living habits and standards must be re vised (or the duration. Only tn a broad general fashion do house holders and civilians now know what's ahead for them. To thfe casual shopper, most department store and other retail shelves ap pear comfortably filled. Watch out', however, for scarcities when replacements become necessary. Substitutes and simpler stand ardised products will, however, be available and serve the pur pose of countless present prod ucts. This entire column could be devoted to lists of everyday items due for changes. In addition to the few already mentioned, there may be noted table silver, linens and blankets, kitchen utenaila, personal clothing, furniture, tools, laundry necessities, electrical and mechanical appliances, dyes, medical and pharmaceutical sup plies. building supplies, sporting goods and various foodstuffs. En glish famallles have discovered how well they can get along on how little. It has made them healtihier and given them a di rect part In their conntry'a war effort. Surely we can do as well.
