We are quite comfijacent about our industrial equipment* for easily pulerstood reasons. Throughout the *30s we heard continuously the ropaganda line that the United States had be* ie a "mature economy." The job of equipping ica with industrial plants and tools was said be largely done. Now, knowing that industry is spending bil- to expand and rebuild Us plants, many people assume that the result must be a first-class Industrial system. A further powerful Inducement to complatency is the vastly worse Industrial condition of gust of the rest of the world. When Americans 'bok abroad, in almost any direction they see Shattered plants and equipment. A natural reacPon is that we ore. sitting pretty. That is a dangerous reaction. Between depres- . and war, we have failed to build the tools equipment we need. This condition is dangerfor three reasons: from bitter experience toe knots that l security depends first and foremost on jj1* capacity and readiness of our industrial gTuiptnent.

The greatest menace to "Would be an .unarmed America, unable or ^>8 to keep herself strong and ready for ^ense*" strong in spirit, In resources and in the *" ^Portent industrial plant and equipment 2. Whether Americans live well--or badly -- depends directly on the kind and quality of tools used by American workmen. This is true for all workers, and for every worker--from a garage mechanic and his wrenches to a steel mill gang and its rolling equip ment In a monumental study of "America's .Needs and Resources" the Twentieth Century Fund found this fact: The improvement in the real income of the American people.has more consistently followed the amount of power used in industry than anything else. What the work man worked with determined, more than any other factor, the size of his pay envelope, and what-it would buy. 3. Our success in stabilising prosperity will depend largely on what we do about building new tools and equipment. About 30% of our Industrial workers are em ployed in producing tools and equipment. Steady employment for them is essential to our over-ell prosperity. . How far have we fallen behind in providing new plants and equipment?. Estimates vary. Here is one rough estimate: If we had built new industrial facilities during 1930-48 at the rate we did in the prosperous '20s, we would have spent at least $100 billion more than actually we did. To get a belter and more complete measure of this deficit, McGraw-Hill is undertaking a survey of American Business1 Needs for New Plant and Equipment Businessmen all over the nation are being asked to answer questions like this: How much
