| Show I The World of Tomorrow Action in the in Construction and in Industry Draw Lick Depression After War Is Predict Demand for Goods Will Keep Nation Busy for Many Years Provides Broad Uses for Many Farm Need for Building Will Be Expansion in Aviation Transportation Is By A. F. JEDLICKA While the war rages and war production takes up the interest of the there doesn't seem to be time for anything But as unsuspected as it might there is a great amount of study being made about solutions to the vast problems that will arise after the peace has been Millions of soldiers and sailors will be returning from the far flung munitions and armament no longer will be needed in mass and millions of workers will have to be switched back to normal pending the final disposition of and full development of our own domestic the huge production program of the farmer will have its With all these things bound to come it is obvious that any studies leading toward the formulation of plans to solve these will be of service in averting any hardships and confusion that might grow from Memories of the economic disorganization that followed the last both in the cities and on the still are live enough to spur the present such as the department of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Foreign Trade All more than important government and private agencies are engaged In post-war economic This number does not include many state and local New discoveries and methods developed from war the tremendous demand for all kinds of consumers' goods upon which manufacture has been and the new crops and many uses for old staples that have been found all of these things are on the asset side tor a promising post-war we will suffer from no lack of in profitable employment of all of our labor will be the big From present we will be the most fortunate of all of the nations of the since most of our factories and equipment will emerge unscathed from the No matter what kind of a monetary system we our credit facilities should be limited by a need for and not by any scarcity of As the president of the United States Chamber of Commerce so optimistically we are facing new in which the guarantee of economic as well as political freedom will open vast productive Should Aid Of the farmer stands to profit the most after the war as a result of the advancement of is the new miracle which has taken the old crops apart to discover their essential and then applied the specific properties to the manufacture of many has been active in developing According to a a composite automobile has more than plastic and airplanes have anywhere from scores to hundreds of plastic Plastics on the automobile include upholstery steering accelerator pedals and of laminated safety Plastics in the airplane range from grease and oil resistant tubing to sight lenses and radio Besides chemurgic uses which have been found for the old the scientist has gone into the fields to find useful properties in such former waste growth as milkweed and These amazing discoveries have opened possibilities for putting formerly unproductive lands to good The loss of many of our former sources of supply for medicinal vegetable oils and fibers has stimulated their cultivation In this they grew successfully many years ago before being produced in Asia at much less Continuation of the growth here of castor beans and for is a question which eventually will fall completely within the political Expect Building Next to building holds the greatest immediate In much of our post-war planning seems to be revolving around the construction As a part of the timber trade figures prominently on new mass production processes for fabricating sections of buildings and shipping them to a site for It has been estimated that the United States needs new every year for new and the rest to replace old Considering the fact that practically all residential building has been stopped by the construction industry will be faced with a gigantic job of meeting the accumulated demands when peace Because of circumstances arising from the the timber industry has received an important push that will stand it in good stead Since most arms and munitions factories demanded all of the steel that was being it was necessary to revert to the use of wood in constructing many new Because the wood had to meet specifications in strength and lumbermen developed processes for treating the timber against decay and As a wood is expected to be used in increasing quantities in ordinary Besides the tremendous demand expected for private construction after the it is reported that the government has been studying plans for an extensive public works building Such a as old as would take up any slack In particularly in the passage from a war to a peace In connection with the anticipated post war building the American Institute of the American Planning and Civic Association and the Conference Committee on Urban Problems have been particularly concerned with the reconstruction of many of the rundown districts of the big Within recent many private corporations have been seeking charters from legislatures for rights to revive many slum areas with huge housing May Expand Air Of the tremendous expansion of aviation because of the war has led to the popular belief that the impetus it is receiving now will carry it into the post-war period as the biggest industrial If we are to consider the opinion of many aviation executives the airplane will play a but hardly a predominating role after the Costs of shipping freight by both train and boat still will remain much cheaper than air and as a result the plane may be used on an increasing but for special It should carry most of the It is in the field of transportation that the airplane promises to enjoy its greatest there has been substantial talk about the creation of branch lines to hook up with main thus establishing direct connections with all more comfortable and faster planes should come out of the busy research laboratories now concentrating on production of the best transport and cargo airships in the Automobile executives already have warned the people not to expect drastic revisions in models after the Cars of the immediate future will not be much different than those that were being manufactured at the time all of the plants shifted over completely to war The reason styles will not change automobile executives is because factories are stocked with tools for production along recent With money in their people will raise a clamor for many items whose manufacture has been discontinued because of the Wash vacuum stokers and oil all will be in and if sufficient purchasing power is the problem will be one of New Among the more colorful products predicted for the are gasoline for automobiles yielding 40 miles to the and nylon cord tires of unparalleled Eye dropper quantities of lead tetraethyl added to a gallon of gasoline will convert it into high-octane fuel necessary for It is this new and more powerful fuel which heralds performances of miles an hour for civilian transport and promises 40 miles per gallon for automobiles after the Due in large part to chemical products developed for use in processing and vulcanizing tires of the future are expected to possess longer Cords of rayon and along with special carbon blacks for increasing toughness and anti-oxidants for retarding the deterioration of are among the new So much for the U.S. A Looking around we see numerous changes in the many of which are bound to have their economic effects after the As an we need not go any further than South First of many of our good neighbors to the south are accumulating large amounts of dollar that American which will be spent or
