New Business Group Seeking To Avert Slump By CHARLES P. STEWART (Central Pregs Cnhimnixt Business is apprehensive of some sort of socialization of itself after the war if times are hard. Its leaders naturally want to re main independent, and are doing their best with a program to pre vent the pinch that they fear upon peacetime's return. Not that they are not desperately anxious to have it come of course with victory for the United Nations. However, they are quite outspokenly fearful that it will alter our whole indus trial, commercial and economic life. Hence the recent organiza tion of a privately-financed group to have all its plans made for deal ing with the situation, however it may develop. The Old Cycle Of loom m,d UepresHiim I would think its members would know in advance just how it WILL develop, left to itself, exactly as after all previous wars, back into ancient history -a hectic little boom and then a prolonged de pression. And, undoubtedly, that's what the worried moguls DO anti cipate. This outfit's mission is less to ascertain what WILL hap pen as to hit on a policy that will KEKP it from happening, all nat ural law to the contrary notwith standing'. For it to have an al phabetic designation is imperative in the present era, so it's known as the CED, which translates into the Committee for Economic De velopment. As previously remark ed, it is strictly non -official. To be sure. Uncle Sam has provided it i with quarters under the commerce ; department's roof. It will co-operate with the department's ex perts, though trying to be more expert than they are. My per sonal hunch is that little love is lost between the CED and the CD (commerce department). lt be hooves the department to be on friendly terms with such a bunc'i as CED. Contrariwise, it adds to the CKH's prestige to lodge in the same quarters with a federal de partment . Incidentally, 1 think that CED's officialdom likes to be in close touch with the department for purposes of observation. CED, mind you, is suspicious of socialistic tenden cies on the New Dealers' part, and the association gives the former an opportunity for close observa tion of the latter's activities. The relationship is called "co-operation," though. But later? Prob ably that's what it is while the war lasts. President Paul G. Hoffman of the Studebaker corporation is CED chairman. There is a re search committee, assigned to rake over a wide field of taxation and monetary policy. A New Plan For Capital and Labor The management r.efers to itsVlf as a would-be "pool" of ideas. It does not profess to have them all evolved preliminarily. Anybody with a few good drops of ideas to offer will be invited to pour them into the common mixture. It is a case in which capital is most wish ful for labor's help. It will be in capital's interest, certainly, but CED's thesis is that it will be equally to the interest of labor. Hut will it WORK? Since it never was tried out before, nobody knows. Anyway, it is a case in which em ployerdom is trying to guarantee employment to workers, more dis tinctly for employerdom's benefit than for labor's. It goes without saying that the demand for peace time goods will be enormous with war's end. The problem is, though, will peacetime consumers be able to pay for wnat they require? That is the question CED is trying to ar rive at with a satisfactory econ omic answer achieved in advance of the emergency. If it is not answered satisfac torily, what CED is afraid of is that the government will socialize us. And "business" doesn't fancy the nation of being socialized for the common benefit. It wants to MAKE MONEY. In hating the prospect of hard times it is sin cere all right from its own stand point. But can it get away with it?
