The faBca hatra been introduced ta tta economics of scaitfty in a series of government orders drastically curtailing the use of articles in common usage. The limitations of pleasure cars and the widespread effect of the tire rationing order brought the issue of "doing without** squarely home. Other restraints are due shortly. Though the recent orders strike directly at motor transportation, thg government is at work on obtaining the best from the railroads. It is reported that many luxury passenger trains and duplication of passenger servic® will be. sharply reduced in all sections of the country to make way for the handling of wartime freight. The price control bill, which comes before the Senate this week, has provisions which the House rafttsad to ^corporate when it pastrfd the measure some weeks ago. Because we are now on a full war economy, the House is expected to eoticur in the drastic controls inserted by the Senate. Business organizations, realizing that some legislation of this sort is inevitable, are demandine the inclusion of industry committees as a means of protecting business from any ill-advised plans of government administrators.

There is also some dispute as to the method of appeals from decisions of administrators which otherwise might put reputable firms out of business. Despite the best efforts of private and governmental groups, the evidence is accumulating that the proprietors of small manufacturing and distributing firms will be hard hit by the exigencies of the war. The automobile dealers, for instance, are among tha first to tee! the effects of wartime restrictions. Efforts to obtain defertae contracts through the conversion of small plants into defense production have not been satisfactory. The Department of Commerce has set up a small business unit through which it hopes to help the distressed firms. It is estimated that there are more than 2.750,000 small business establishments in the United States, with over 8,350,000 persons engaged as employers and employees in these enterprises. Of the total of small enterprises, 169,000 are industrial concerns, 72,000 are wholesalers, 1,614,000 are retailers, 638 000 art service organisations, 200,000 are construction comes, 40,000 are places of amaseand- HMNKl hotels. Another factor contributing to the dislocntipn of small business is the heavy draft of skilled workers to jrai Indastry. The all-out war products program requiring a 7-day week and s 24-hour day will mean a drain on the labor in towns where plants are not classified as essential industries. The government has intensified its primary training of production workers so that a mor<i ratpM absorption of workers fronv industries can be accomplitfcta without Idas of time. The Q. P, M, Labor Division is now makirg a study of defense p^ms for qualified women workers anu the qualified women available for defense industries. These inquiries are based upon the British experience where women have been found to be particularly useful in certain industries thus relieving men for heavier duties or military service. While there are pronounced shortages in essential commodities used In the proQuCt^°n munitions and otht{ instruments of wtr, this country is unusually fortunate in having an ftde* quate supply of food. A summary of food production and consumer buying power issued January 5 reveals that we are in an unusually good economic position. Food production is at high record levels, buying power of consumers is the greatest ever, prices and income to farmers average the best in a decade or more.
