AUTO MATERIAL. OUTPUT BOOST IN NATIONAL INCOME IS GOAL St'END-LEND PROGRAM REGARDED AS STOP-GAP WASHINGTON, June 24 A remark able memorandum, suggesting that the government underwrite a 60 per cent Increase In steel, automobile and building material production has been laid on the presidents dealt by Dr. Paul Gourrlch, chief economist of the securities and exchange com mission. The purpose of this revolutionary proposal ts to raise the total national income by one-half. Obviously, the proposal foreshadows no Immediate action, yet It has vast significance aa an Indication of the current men tal temperature of the New Deal. Dr. Gourrlch himself 'is a high authority, a recognized expert on railroads, whose former employment as Kuhn Loeb and company's econ omist attests the respect for his abilities In circles Infinitely distant from Washington. That such a re sponsible official should make such a proposal Is Interesting enough. And more Important still, although the proposal la revolutionary, It Is not so very different from other plans now being longingly discussed at the federal reserve board and elsewhere. In fact, the Oourrich proposal means two things. First, the eco nomic thinkers of the New Deal are Increasingly despairing of recovery. Second, they are now all but unani mous In recognizing the spending lendlng program as a mere stop-gap. and are therefore coating about for new approaches to the economic problem. , The statement that spending U a T mere stop-gap Is the point of de parture for the Oourrich argument. Dr. Oourrich states that a funda mental solution to the economic problem Is the present crying need, and, aa such a solution, he offers hie plan. Banker underwriting, he says, per mits business to expand its facilities. Why, then, should not government underwriting permit business to ex? pand Its production, in periods when confidence and demand are low? Business will be willing to produce more goods, and make more profits, if the government stands .ready to take possible losses by absorbing sur plus goods produced. And, since the additional production will send new energy coursing through the entire (Continued on Page Six.) -f- k FIRST ROUND LEAD PORTLAND, June 34. yp) Donald K.
