NEUTRALITY ACT
AND WAR BOOM
One of the most wholesome de
velopments in the American busi
s*iess situation is the disposition
©n the part of executives every
where to recognize the dangers
©f a business boom generated by
war orders; and thus to hope for
an early peace instead of a long
destructive conflict.
Almost without exception, in
dustrial executives with the thot
©f the sharp reaction which fol
lowed the 1914-18 war boom in
mind, are convinced that the
prosperity born of the World
War was more apparent than
real and that it woud be unsafe
to permit our economy again to
be so completely disrupted byi
war business as it was o quarter
of a century ago.
This nations stake in the pre
vention of another war boom is
larger, perhaps, than that of any
other. In this country particular
ly violent rises and decines in
production and employment
have afforded ammunition for
those who contend that free en
terprise cannot be trusted and
that the capitaistic system is not1
adopted to present day condi
tions.
Nothing could better support i
such theses than another infla
tionary boom reminiescent of the
last war period and another vio
lent reaction with a full decade i
of depression. It is, indeed, a
hopeful sign that in this instance
industry is rather more cogniz
ant of the dangers and implica
tions of a war boom than many
6f those wfho speak and act for
'government. —Cleve’3id P’ain
