1946 MAY BE YEAR OF DISAPPOINTMENT
Following one of the happiest New Year’s
celebrations in several years, prompted by re
lief from war, 1946 will probably be a year
of disappointment, because people will expect
more than will be attained.
Th year 1946 could be one of the happiest
and most prosperous in the history of this
country, but there are too many dark clouds on
the horizon to arouse much optimism.
Economically, the United States is embark
ing on a voyage that is fraught with dangers
and chaotic conditions that can be remedied
by cooperation between labor and capital, but
at the present neither group is willing to sin
cerely arbitrate their differences. Production
since the end of the war in Japan has been
hampered more by strikes than any one thing,
unless it be the desire of manufacturers to a-
void large-scale production until after January
1, 1946, when the lower tax schedules became
effective.
If the government cannot halt the threatened
steel anti electrical workers strikes or if those
involved cannot settle their differences amic
ably, production lines will be tied in knots.
Steel and electrical products are essential in
the production of a large percentage of the
articles that the American public is now clam
oring for. With every dealer in the country
practically with out any of the merchandise
that has been off the market, manufacturers
will be several months filling the shelves, even
at top production. It is obvious that strife be
tween capital and labor will postpone capacity
production.
Return of servicemen and continued idle
ness of strikers will cause unemployment that
can be reduced only by increased production. As
the labor market becomes flooded, wages will
drop. Th reduction in wages will tend to bring
down prices, giving a silver lining to the dark
clouds of inflation.
Internationally, we are interested principally
in peace. We have won the war, but we are
a long way from insuring peace. With much of
the world still in turmoil, the world will do
well to complete organization of some kind of
an organization to help nations to settle their
differences without resort to war. Conditions
now indicate that we may be also disappointed
during 1946 in accomplishments in the field of
international relations.
Our struggles back to normalcy s going to be
slow, and appearances prompt the belief that
its fruition will not be achieved in 1946.
