Even in this year of great pros perity, Nourse said, the nation is building a deficit. Industries and families realize they cannot spend more than; their income for any appreciable length of time, he continued. There is no reason to believe a nation can do what these two institutions cannot. “We are playing fast [and loose with the solvency of this country,” he warned.
