The
pent-up demand for goods in our
country alone Is so great as to defy
the imagination. Add to this the
vast potential demand elsewhere on
the globe and there will be business
enough to keep our manufacturers
running full time for a generation.
But we must produce our goods in
quantity enough and cheaply enough
to be priced within the means of
other nations. Labor, capital, gov­
ernment and all other factors in pro­
duction costs will have to be geared
to produce more goods for leas dol­
lars. There must be a change from
the economy of scarcity to the econ­
omy of plenty. The way to accom­
plish these things is plain. But we
still need the will.
