LOUPOT’S
Where You Always Get
a Fair Trade
Post-War Outlined
Labor is our most fundamental
resource and it is up to all of us
to plan now how we can make the
most valuable use of it, Dr. Morde-
ai Ezekiel, economic adviser to the
U. S. Secretary of Agriulture, told
a group of chamber of commerce
executives, business men, and
Texas A. & M. College officials
Friday morning in the YMCA
Chapel in outlining a four-point
program to cushion the shock of
conversion of agriculture and in
dustry to peacetime effort.
Dr. Ezekiel discussed that phase
of postwar planning by state, re
gional and community councils
which has to do with agricultural-
industrial relationship. Agriculture
is concerned with the whole, he
said, for unless industry is able to
buy farm and ranch products at
reasonable prices agriculture can
not prosper.
Several regional and city cham
ber of commerce have been in
touch with governmental agencies
regarding postwar planning, and
Dr. Ezekiel is on a trip over the
country discussing agricultural-in
dustrial relationship with these
groups. Through President Gibb
Gilchrist, who also is chairman
of the State-created Texas Postwar
Planning Commission, and J. D.
Prewit, acting director of the Ex
tension Service, who presided at
Friday’s meeting, Dr. Ezekiel was
invited to address this called meet
ing.
The main goal in our post war
planning is to find employment in
gainful trades for ten million re
turning service men, misplaced
workers now engaged in war plant
work, and furnish employment op
portunities for our normal surplus
of farm-raised boys and girls, as
well as youths now coming out of
high schools, Dr. Ezekiel said. He
pointed out that the success of such
an undertaking rests with each
community and how it meets local
problems. Federal and state agen
cies can advise and assist, but any
solution worthy of the effort must
be worked out by the people them
selves, he declared.
hour angles in approaching com
munity postwar employment plan
ning were outlined:
1. Appraise such opportunities
as will exist after the war in the
present setup.
2. Figure how many workers
may be absorbed in the manager’s
plans for continuation and expan
sion of their businesses.
3. Get data on what the people
of the community plan to buy with
their savings when business re
turns to normalcy.
4. Figure what new industries
may be persuaded to locate in
that neighborhood.
Dr. Ezekiel went into the pres
ent favorable war outlook. It is
likely, he thought, that Germany
may be defeated bofere the end of
1944. This would have a most pro
found effect on industry engaged
in war work and agriculture gear
ed to war demands, as he said the
United States, Britain and Rus
sia have enough war tools stored
up to defeat Japan without further
production. Such a situation would
cause many plants to close and
turn their employes loose. Govern
ment buying this year is taking
over half of all the American peo
ple produce, and any decrease in
these purchases, which is sure to
follow the end of the war in
Europe, will have reverberations
in every phase of our life and
work as it has existed since 1939
when we began manufacturing ar
ticles on a large sale for the allied
nations, Dr. Ezeidiel said.
In summing up employment
needs. Dr. Ezekiel declared we
need jobs for ten million more
workers than were employed in
1940. In round figures this means
about three million more factory
jobs, and the other seven million
to find work in related endeavor.
One million of these factory work
ers, Dr. Ezekiel thought thought,
can be retained in factories en
gaged in the same basic industreis
as now operating, but the other
two million will have to be absorb
ed in manufacture of peacetime
produts now held down by war ne
cessities.
The speaker declared there is
no necessity for having a depres
sion like we did following World
War I. The first step to avoid
such a depression is to sell our
selves, then do our best through
individual initiative and the as
sistance of governmental agencies
to prevent it.
It was pointed out that the sav
ings of'the people properly invest
ed can go way toward making such
community self sustaining. The
savings figures were placed at
home, for individuals, half that
amount by industry. Loans for
worthy purposes can be secured
from Federal leanding agencies
and from business sources, Dr.
Ezekiel said.
Dr. D. W. Blackburn, regional
U. S. Bupreau of ARgricultural
Economics representative at Little
Rock, Ark., and E. L. Barber, of
the University of Arkansas Bur-
veau of Business Research, told of
a postwar survey which was con
ducted at Fort Smith, Ark., during
the first four months of this year.
The East Texas Chamber of
Commerce was represented at the
meeting by Bill Wilson, and the
West Texas Chamber of Commerce
by J. A. Rix, E. L. Wilson, man
ger of the Bryan Chamber of Com
merce, and executives of other
cities were in attendance.
The great sand dunes of the Sa
hara frequently attain a height of
600 feet, and under constant pres
sure of the winds, move forward at
a rate of 60 to 70 feet a year.
