WHAT Ur. 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.”
