Bellemore THINKS Federal “pump-priming” is re sponsible for the present upward spurts on the stock market, but the country is no more out of the recession than it was several months ago, acording to Dr. Dou glas Bellemore, visiting professor at the University of Omaha. An associated professor of eco nomics and accounting at the Uni versity of Toledo, Dr. Bellemore is a recognized authority on pro blems of mcney and banking. Dr. (Bellemore points out that business indexes are not up e nough to justify the market up turn but the government spending has stimuuated “betting” on the future markets. Ho believes that the country’s unemployment problem lies in the durable goods industries, and that “pump priming” is not enough to lift them out of the slump. “Durable goods” is the econo- j mists’ term meaning heavy mach inery, building's, and like comm odities. Dr. Bellemore thinks that whatever unemployment may exist in industries • that produce for direct presumption comes from lack of purchasing power in the durable goods industries. Government could help more by encouragiry; business than by its spending program, says the visit ing professor. For example, the public utility industries would spend a billion dollars a year if they weren't a fraiiJ of government competition or cf being eliminated altogether. The administration should en courage the utijit'es by ceasing its competition with “little TVA’s” and by rev^tuping the I’ublic uti lity Act of 19T5 so that it would be regularity rather than punitive. Sec r.dly, the Toledo economist declares that the government should break up the high mono poly prices in the building mat erials industry. This would gre impetus to construction, especially f small homes. Great Britain was helped out of economic difficul ties by a Loom in her construction in lustres, he says. I rimarily the problem of cheap er construction would be solved by frying the industry on a large scale, mass production baa's. Small builders, he avers, can’t invest in labor-saving equipment. But this is essentially a problem for the industry itself to solve. The visfymfg economist’ third suggestion is that government finances be put on a sound basis ‘by reducing the deficit, by cur tailing the spending program so that it will include only essential expenditures for relief, by improv ing th tax structure so that it does not discourage the accumu lation of capital, and above all by balancing the budget.” Returns from BYPU & SS.
