BENSON Prttldcmt~Mtr4I*t CHItft Sttrtj. JrtMMMS What to Do About It , There is one way. and only arte Way, to avoid a serious depression, and that wav is oden to the Ameri can people. Responsibility rests firmly upon each of us, no matter what may be our economic statu? or individual social background, to choose out this proper course. There is no way to go, if we should fact into a depression, except towarc hard work and the high productivity of Industrial peace. That's the formula that win enable us to weather a business fecession, provided we begin to use it new. We must all tighten our belts, get our feet an the ground, and go to work Just as hsrd z: we can work. A greatly increased measure ot productivity per man-hour Is the best answer to the present situation that can be thought up. i t;" ' Dawn With Prices With increased productivity, with . an honest hour's labor given for evewfr hour's pay, we could see a considerable lowering of prices. Indtgkfwih genuine whole-hearted cooperation from labor and IndusjfwT would be quite possible to increase output as much as 40V generally. This should be enough to bring about a general SS% reduction in prices. This could be done with 'Our preqent labor force and without incfensOd working hours. " This would ip fact bring prices down until it would-be equivalent to an increase in wages. This is 'the ode sound answer to the present threat of a depression. Such qnipur would jalso give us hope cf regaining our foreign markets, which* have had little attention paid to* them mince the war. Wisdom ef V Sage The importance of this thing pr :.,pted Bernard M. Baruch to state recently that the whole postwar world would "vet min* tr men work" and to come'o^oTaBVk ?4y. 44 hour. vMk. Tb* seriousness of the problem wo face is such that we may be able to save civilization if wo accept the challenge, Mr. Bart&b aaid, adding that this would mean groator effort than that e* erted during the war. .W I In proposing a 44 hpur work week, "with no strikes or layoffs to January I, 1MB," as a means ot m creasing production. - Mr.' Baruch recognized our present tendencies to* put limitations on our work--Jin emphasised that a way . must b# found tor production to flow smooth, ly. This achieved, then a "sense of security would return to worker and employer, and the reaction upon the economy of the world would be deep and luting." ^ ^ ^ , The sago Mr. Baruch hag more. "Until we ha*o~unity, until mmstraighten out sod solve our prot* lems^o^production. and have intershake hands across the table snd go to swork in earnest to whip this throat of immediate depression through maxioryum and whole-hearted production, then no one would ,; *' "^l EEDS lfilP | li i j i , x y F^' fTJ Ml ' f ,y\ s^' {*/ > j.-*i.'> , * / :.- .. *s.'.-.^XL .' ~*. .
