The govern-mcalled for vast new armament production, and the economy predominantly influenced by war and preparations for war. This time the government asked private enterprise to expand production facilities so that an almost adequate flow of consumer goods could be continued, averting the need for rationing. And American business and industry responded. This was another battle of production which the private enterprisers won. Complainers Heard With the Korean War ended, we now hear the complainers saying that production is going to be overdone, that the mark ets will become glutted, that unemployment will result, and that we will have another de pression.

The situation today, as our country cuts down on its war production and builds up its peacetime production, is a challenge to American enterprisers. Contrary to the propaganda moanings of the advocates of Big Government, I predict that the American enterprisers will win this "Battle for Distribution." They've had tougher bat tles, and they have won them. expend our foreign trade.
