PLANNING ISN'T NEW
THE way a lot of people are talking these days, you'd
think planning is something new.
But anybody who's ever run a farm or a factory knows
that if you don't plan, you can't get the most out of
what you have to work with.
To plan properly, the farmer has to know about crops,
soils, seasons, tools, and stock; and the man operating a
factory has to know about machines, markets, science,
and engineering.
Yet for all this specialized knowledge which each of
these activities requires, the managers of both farm and
factory have much in common in their planning. They
have the same problems to mention a few of em
ployment and taxes, of costs and a fair profit, of setting
aside reserves for a "rainy day."
And they have the same objective in their planning
to do everything they 'can for their country today,
and, tomorrow, to make a fair living through greater
service to their fellow Americans. General Electric Com
