BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BX Kltt KBjOK
NBA Washington Correspondent
\Y " SKrNCTON. D. C.—< NE A)—Alarmed that so m:\-.y* « it*
.ire casually accepting the idea that another depression*, at.a not
pr< jierity. is "just around the corner,'" leading-American businessmen
in toe war-burn Committee for Economic Development have decided
.to continue their organization in an effort to stave
oft the bust predicted to follow today's boom. Con-
tinuing as chairman of. CCD is Paul G. Hoffman,
president of Studebaker Corporation.
During the war CED organized some TO,QUO busi-
nessmen in 2800 communities, to speed up reconver-
sion after war contracts were cancelled This phase
of CED work, was wound up last spring, but the
organisation's broad business research program, has
been carried on.
It is Paul Hoffman's opinion that it proper meas-
ures had been taken prior to 1929-32. the depres-
EdM>n !"un ot lhat Pctuxt could have been greatly les-
sened
'In moving against the next depression, which is now being so widely
predicted, the big idea will be to keep high-level employment. Tn
tins end. some 90 leading American industrialists making up the CED
b« 1.1i d of trustees met in Washington lust week and staked out three
pi iiu tpal areas for investigation.
difficult is the rtekf of labor-management relationship. The
committee's study of this question is being based on the not-so-
ui prising conclusion that this relationship hasn't been good in the
i '.ist. and that something should be done to improve it.
CED is staying completely away from any idea ot bringing out rec-
inmendatiuns for a legislative program tn improve labor relations.
The aim is to improve conditions under the tree enterprise system,
without government controls.
Second will be a study ot wage-price relationships. The goal is to
ee how real wages can be raised in relation to purchasing power
1 he old idea that wages can be raised only if the amount of the raise
is taken away (com the consumer will be abandoned The emphasis
will be put on increasing productivity so that labor's return can be
increased white prices are lowered *
TH1KD will be an inquiry into the government's fiscal and monetary
policy. Today the government takes 40 out of ISO billion dol-
lars Rational production. Bow the government spends this money
has a decided effect on the national economy.
This leads to a study ot hoot the government's tux policy affects
business levels. CED mode its tax policy recommendations two yean
jtfo and is shaking by its, recommendation of that time.
Briefly, it i* that the ten policy of government should be stabilized
uutead of /thonged every year. With taxes set tor a normal level oft
prosperity, government income should cover government expenses.
But, in periods ot increased prosperity- as at present, these fixed tax
rat.-a would buUtt up a surplus against years ot sub-normal activity.
