MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1942. PAGE THREE Good News For Corporations Babton Says Standardization Increase! Profits and Lower Prices Washington, D. C, April 17. Rationing is becoming fam iliar word in our speech. Now standardization is to be its twin in the vocabulary of our war economy. We "ain't seen nothing yet" in the way of actual rationing or standardization. The necessity of doubling our industrial war production every twelve months and the importance of eliminating waste in luxury and non-essentials will shortly strip us of many things. Our heretofore free indulgence and mode of life, characterized by material abundance, should slowly but surely pass from the American family scene. Face Facts Forget Fancies The U.S.A. has the greatest industrial production facilities in the world. It is also a large agrarian country although ex ceeded in this respect by India and Russia. Our industrial act ivity in the past has been de voted to the production of goods of a peaceful nature. Almost overnight we have been obliged to about face and turn our in dustrial capacities and our agri I cultural output into a vast co ordinated machine for waging an offensive war. Great Britain and the United States have been such powerful peacetime nations that they have underestimated the war prepar ations of other countries. Furth ermore, they have relied too much upon sending a boy to do a man's work. This has been true in diplomatic functions, in the handling of production problems, and in the strategy employed in battle areas. The Jolts and ars of recent weeks have done much to wake us up. We now face facts rather than a continuance of fancy living No longer will it be possible or fashionable to have two cars in the garage, two maids in the kitchen, and two mortgages on the house! Frill. Are Out For Duration The elimination of waste In all forms is an important factor in winning the war. We should voluntarily give up the luxuries and non-essentials, the produc tion of which interferes with war needs. It is necessary to provide labor supplies and pro ductive facilities and storage space for the more important needs of war production. Hence, we have restrictions and stand ardizations in many, many lines of consumer goods. Women's skirts will get shorter and their stockings may disappear. Men's suits, while pretty well standardized, will be cut on new lines to conserve cloth. Many liquid foodstuffs will appear as dried varieties packed in paper rather than in metal containers. Plywood and J plastics will become standard substitutes for many metal pro ducts. This will help certain wood working and chemical companies which are now being converted into sources of new supplies. Get Accustomed To Changes Consumer goods, especially personal and household effects, will show marked changes. Liv ing habits and standards must be revised for the duration. Only in a broad general fashion do householders and civilians now know what's ahead for them. To the casual shopper, most department store and other CPS. Your Grocrr S co-operatina to'th US in fdving nKdei materia ll -that's wny jome tTor hi gfa, jemt havt the can, eAtr hove both j retail shelves appear comfort ably filled. Watch out, however, for scarcities when replacements become necessary. Substitutes and simpler standardized pro ducts will, however, be avail able and serve the purpose of countless present products. This entire column could be devoted to lists of everyday items due for changes. In addi tion to the few already mention ed, there may be noted table silver, linens and blankets, kitchen utensils, personal cloth ing, furniture, tools, laundry necessities, electrical, and me chanical appliances, dyes, medi cal and pharmaceutical supplies, building supplies, sporting goods and various foodstuffs. English families have discov ered how well they can get along on how little. It has made them healthier and given them a direct part in their country's war effort. Surely we can do as well. Standardisations Good For Corporations Manufacturers of consumer goods, now handicapped by price ceilings, will find an out in substitutes and in standard ization. Priority restrictions on raw materials and price restric tions on finished products have raised havoc with manufactur ing costs. Added to everything else has been rising wages and taxes. However, the simplifica tion of merchandise, the use of substitutes, and the employment of more women will do much to maintain and even increase corporate profits. The standardization of hun dreds of consumer goods pro ducts will increase mass produc tion possibilities. It will also eliminate many competitive practices. There is hardly a manufactured article of per sonal use which cannot be standardized and simplified and still serve its useful purpose. Beautiful brochures, gaudy paint and my granddaughter's costume Jewelry may go by the board, but as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow the child will be Just as happy with simpler substitutes. In spite of taxes and restrictions, I continue bullish on corporation profits and dividends. Standardization and simplification will do much for them and for us all. Not only has every cloud a silver lining, but it's hard to lick our Ingen ious engineers and manufacturers. Oakland, Cal., April 17 Ph Creation of a Pacific coast head quarters of the U.
