three lines of maintaining at all times adequate total outlay (expenditures), of controlling the location of industry, and of securing the organized mobility of labor. The first of these is the main attack: the others are subsidiary operations. See especially p. 29, 131–175.

Those concerned with labor problems give it first rank in their planning. In the opinion of several agencies timing of employment opportunities is the heart of the problem.

Conclusions: A floor should be established in consumption of low-standard groups by means of minimum wages, generous family allowances, food subsidies, improvement of social service benefits, and a progressive tax structure. Capital investment should also satisfy the minimum needs of the community.

Conclusion: The Government accepts as one of its primary aims and responsibilities the maintenance of a high and stable lev of employment after the war. Policy includes: (a) Total expenditure on goods and services must be prevented from falling to a level where general unemployment appears; (b) the level of prices and wages must be kept reasonably stable; (c) there must be a sufficient mobility of workers between occupations and localities.

Contents: Reviews some of the favorable and unfavorable factors in the transition period, and the general American optimism. Conclusion: It is questionable whether the optimism can last. An unbalanced budget can be expected for at least a decade. There will be a high degree of economic unrest, and mass unemployment in wide areas. Agricultural production will be short for a few years and prices high, but thereafter an overproduction crisis must be expected.

National planning association. National budgets for full employment. (Planning pamphlets nos. 43 and 44). Washington, National planning association, 1945. 96 p. HC101.N352 Nos. 43-44

Contents: Three basic types of budgets of national expenditures estimated as necessary to achieve full employment are set forth and analyzed, one increasing primarily Government expenditure, the second business expenditure and the third consumer expenditure. Conclusion: Full employment will require the production and purchase of more goods and services than ever before in peacetime, because the population is still growing and the productivity of labor and machinery is still increasing. The increase in production as of 195x should be 40 percent over 1941 at 1941 price levels. Expenditures must balance incomes. If total expenditures are enough for full employment, then somebody must have spent more than would be expected from past relationships of expenditures to incomes. This could be Government or Business or Individuals, or some combination of the three.

Contents: Statement as result of conference of prominent Englishmen on full employment in Britain, future organization of industry, relations between public and private enterprise, capital and labor, and industry and the public. Pierson, John H. G. Full employment. New Haven, Yale university press, 1941. 297 p. HD5724.P5

Contents: Definition of full employment, alternative approaches to it, guides to full employment policy. Conclusion: If a governmental central master plan is accepted, permanent full employment can be achieved by carrying out as large a production program as the existing state of technology will permit the existing labor supply to handle. If only specified kinds of production are to be planned directly, the maintenance of full employment requires some means of controlling, not industries or producing units (except as specified), but the volume of production for market as a whole. The first requirement of a full-employment market economy is that government underwrite or guarantee in advance the annual amount of consumer spending. Prosperity-How to get it-How to keep it.

Contents: Speech delivered May 22, 1945, on the relationship of government and business with respect to full employment, with reference to the full employment bill. Conclusion: To have full employment there must be a commitment on the part of the federal government that, through an explicit fiscal and monetary policy it will act when private business cannot sustain the employment demand. Agencies in the executive branch associated "in giving reality to fiscal and monetary policy" should be consolidated. Schmidt, Emerson P. Full employment: its politics and economics.

Contents: General discussion of the meaning of full employment and unemployment and of ways, some favored and some opposed, in which a post-war employment program can be planned.

Slichter, Sumner H. How to stimulate post-war employment. American academy of political and social science, Philadelphia. Annals, Mar. 1945, v. 238: 158-166. H1. A4

Contents: Discussion of two main aspects of the problem of how to prevent unemployment: (1) preventing unemployment caused by the physical, financial, and legal difficulties of conversion; and (2) preventing unemploy ment due to lack of effective demand for goods. Conclusion: Conversion program will require: definite plans on the part of each business enterprise; opportunity for business enterprises to experiment with new models or products; provision for prompt advances by the Government on terminated war contracts; advance determination of the disposition of government-owned plants; short-term credits; prompt removal of government property; orderly disposition of government supplies; simultaneous and general removal of controls over materials, production, and manpower. Program to sustain demand requires: quick and orderly conversion; prompt action by business enterprises in catching up on deferred repairs, maintenance, and replacement; reforms in the system of taxation, prompt action by government bodies in starting to catch up on repairs, maintenance, and replacements; wise adminis tration of price control, and more adequate compensation for the unemployed.
