Show TEN-YEAR PLAN IS GIVEN AS KEY TO PROSPERITY Formulation of a 10-year postwar post-war program by business leaders to reach "a new high in earned prosperity'' is urged by Ira Mosher, Mosh-er, SoUthbridge, Mass., manufacturer manufac-turer and president of the National Nation-al Assn. of Manufacturers, on behalf be-half of its 14,000 members from coast to coast. As soon as ODT limit on national na-tional gatherings are relaxed, delegates del-egates from manufacturing, retailing, re-tailing, banking, transportation, utilities "and other economic interests" in-terests" should hold a "war-to-peace council" and plan an all-business all-business postwar program, according accord-ing to Mr. Mosher. "Let business thus commence to stand on its own bottom, braced by its own principles," the manufacturer manufac-turer told an Inter-Trade Conference, Confer-ence, adding: Not Criticism Only . . . "Such a council by business must not limit itself to, or even emphasize, our criticism of the economic ec-onomic day-dreaming that has characterized our national policy in recent years. "It must start with the determination determi-nation that business can say what should be done, that it suggest as well as criticize." Some "pretty obvious" governmental govern-mental moves that must be made now, Mr. Mosher said, include rapid rap-id settlement of war contracts, removal of government property to permit installation of machinery machin-ery for civilian production, elimination elimi-nation of rep-tape in making the peacetime materials "available, and OPA price policies affording a profitable pro-fitable basis for output. |
