Fullbrook States US Needs1
Changes To Secure Victory
To achieve victory, t he United States
must make drastic changes in the allocation
of productive resources, Professor Karl S. Full
brook, speaking on the "American And World
War II" lecture series, declared yesterday
afternoon at the Union.
A smaller crowd than usual heard 1)r.
Fullbrook warn of the need for an immense
shift of production from consumers goods lo
war munitions. A lowering of living standards
will result, he said.
'Jt is quite different from normal times
when economics is concerned with distributing
productive resources of labor, land, capital and
materials to various production lines so as to
provide consumers with maximum satisfaction
at minimum costs."
Must Depend on Increases.
"In building up war production to a maxi
mum, the United States must depend largely
upon increases in total production, and de
creases in consumption by the ultimate consum
ers," said the speaker. "As the war effort has
progressed, most of the peace-time slack in our
productive system has been taken up, and here
nfler we shall have to expand our war produc
tion at the expense of consumers' goods."
The price system, which in peace time di
rects productive resources iuto the proper chan
nels, is too slow and uncertain to rely upon in
a war economy, declared Professor Fullbrook.
The government must determine what is need-,
cd and then formulate and execute policies
necessary to achieve desired results. Freedom:
of enterprise may have to be abandoned into
the process.
The priorities system "putting first
things first" :js one device for making a war
time economy effective. The government; hav
ing determined which needs arc most import
ant, directs productive resources to fulfill then
regardless of price. Soon shortages of eonsuiu
