DISCUSSIONS ON THE MAINTENKNCE OF _FUL4EMPLWRENT1,0___, In a modern industrial society an individualfs ability to earn allying is as much dependent upon general economic factors over Which he has no direct control as on his own initiative and qualifications. The bitter experience of an economic breakdown in the thirties which deprived millions of people of the oppor- tunity to 'work for a living and the contrast presented by the full employment attained ;during the war are largely responsible for the nearly universal -opinion in Great Britain that the chief long-run post-war problem facing the Government will be the prevention of serious unemployment. Speaking for the Government, The 'Chancellor of the Exchequer said in January 1945: "The basic objective that we must set ourselves is active emplqyment foiw the people of the country." (1) DEFINITION OF FULL RMPLOYMENT The Economist (October 3, 1942) points out that a state of tt.FUll employment" is compatible with seasonal unemployment and transitional unemployment, but not with depressed areas. ere is genera/ agreement an -this point, and. it is the pre- !elation of "mass unemployment" that at present concerns the itish people.

It is IK this fi4d that economic policy will have to stand its test.n (pp l 21, 22) ? CYCLICAL Tri1121PLOYMENT Mass" unemploymevt arising from cyclical fluctuations in bu4iness activity is universally agreed to be the most devastat ing kind of unemployment from the economic and social point of vie* and the most difficult to-handle* ntructuralo unemployment arising in depressed areas and depressed industries can be dealt with only if a reasonably high level of full employment exists, in the country generally. Consequently the causes and cures of the business cycle arethe center of most of the discussions on full employment. There is a surprisingly wide agreement in regard to the nature of cyclical fluctuations and the measures required to deal with them. Fluctuwlippgj.n Investment It has, of course, been long remarked by economists that activity in capital goods industries and in raw material producing industries fluctuates much more violently than activity in other sectors of the economy. Furthermore, as has been demonstrated by Alitin Hansen and others, decreases and increases in investment tend to precede in time the correspoMding movements of consumption. From the data made-available by the researches of economists, it - concluded that fluctuations in general economic activity are caused by fluctuations in investment. It therefore foflows that employ,ment can be stabilized by stabilizing the rate dnivestment. .INVESTMENT POLICY , It is generally agreed that the policy adopted by the Govern- mopt'to,stabilize investment must include considerably more than a: prepared program -of public works. Measures designed to maintain e protitability_of private investment in general, the extension ublic ownersbipj4 the ?control of certain types of industry, '4-ate ep9rdination fiscal and budgetary policy, and the on p4 a' Vational Investment Board to coordinate all invest- otivities and draw lap a scale of priorities are the chief eationa put forward in the British discussions. CONSUMPTION POLICY a discussion so far has been concerned rith full employ- icy fiat, the investment side, and as if full -1xere4he odle goal of economic activity. .It is obvious the qmate,parpose of economic activity is to nee iiNgiits of human beings, and consequently 04oyment to the community 'an be greater or p23:the extent to whiCh,it, ,dembers are employed u1st essentitll for raisir, the standard of ,employment might 1); attained by an approp- 1:44 nhily people believe that a policy he proportion of the national products wpOld result in a more progressive and A44 ed egonOmk, and would assist in maintaining economic # 'oms Imp Ion po/ic n in this sense is not generally p az" 1,10'!,,,, ?

For this reason, all of the disci4itsiono 1,17ge an adequate social security progftm t maintain the money incomev of individuals in times of stress $ and most of tkltro recommend that measures should be taken to effect greater equality of income distribution. PROBLEMS ARISING IF A FULL EUPLOIMT POLICY IS MAINTAINED In a state of full employment inflationary terxencies will arise if there is an increase in effective demand unaccompanied by technical improvements which will enable an increase in output to take place, since output cannot by hypothesis be iacreased by using previously employed factors of production. In these circum- stances the increase in. demand (i.e., purchasing power in the hands of consumers) must be the result of an increase in the cost of production of an unchanged quantity of goods and services arid must therefore lead to a rise in prices, which may start what is Called the "vicious spiral of wages and prices". A corresporAlent of Zile Ti Mes has this point in mind when he points out (January X940 that full employment would result in a substantial change in the workers' bargaining position, and if "free wage-bargaining, as we have know it hitherto, is continued in conditions of full employment, there would be a constant upward pressure on money wage-rates...Unemployment in a private enterprise economy has..3 indirectly the function of preserving the value of money." # The inflationary tendencies with which the British discus- sions are conceed do ni)t'include a mere rise of costs and prices tesuItinz from the increased use of marginal factors of production as fali em.ployment is approached. They are concerned with the rise in prices that comes from an increase in effective demand when Outptt can no longer be appreciably increasea. In other words, a desire on the part of people to increase consumption without -decreasing investment% This of course would cause no difficulty if teobnaogica1 developments made possible an increase in output wi-th the same or a,smallersupAy of labor or other factors of odU4Ada a zItUation,that is characteristic of modern indus..- nial If, hbi3Oa, techniques remained unchanged or gedolOwly in a giveOperiod? it would still be perfectly e if the'community desired to increase its consumption for 00#ral governstent to take measures to reduce the level of ilett, It 's in this connection that the statistical adVeSor-with the aid of which a "balance sheet" of the .onal. economy can be drawn up and an estimate of the position the near futhre be made, become important. !?? L7E.. . A " 0 reloirt states that if the le.,10enomena of economic life confirm that a boom is on the way, the Govermment should apply the following remedies, the dosage being adapted to their effectiveness:- The credit basis of the Monetary system should be reduced - or, to ?begitt with, its extension checked, the rate of interest should be allowed to rise; the use of-o'edit for various purposes should be cprtaiiled. &Aka -jkaAa es.

In any changing pro- gressive society there will be changes in the demand for labour qualitatively if not quantitatively; that is to say there will be periods during which particular individuals can no longer be anvantageously employed in their former occupations and may be idle until they find or fit themselves for fresh occupations. In a footnote to the Nuffield College statement on plent lislam, and .(hganization of Industry after the Wamj. full employ- ment is described as na state of affairs in which the number of unfilled vacancies- is not appreciably below the number of un- employed persons, so that unemployment at any time is due to the normal lag 'between a person losing one job and finding another:.

While the memorandum assumes that tards of living will continue to be raised by continuing hsical advance, it is not directly concerned with methods for Securing the efficiency of industry. These, while important, are only direotly relevant to the problem of full employment.

A totalitarian regime, even if it eeed money and price and wage differentials to stimulate and guide individual a04vity, might abolish freedom of saving. It might retaie from the national income of each year that portion which it needea for inypstment, i.e. for the sustenance of persons egased in making inOpruments and materials of further produceion; ale mieht issue to consumers money which like ration coupoas could be usea only stioified periods and could not be saved.

Bennett serves and I told him that you had met the Sgt. and was quite taken with her alert- ness and "'enthusiasm and felt that if it was possible to get her that she would fit admirably in a 'pob under Colonel Davis. General Roberts was most understanding and said: he would like very much to agree to your request if it could be done. He stated that he had a difficult problem because of he fact that Ile has to get rid of his enlisted men and he is losing a master sergeant and plans to use Sgt. Bennett in his place. i really think he will make a sincere effort to comply with your reouest.

The persons men- tioned above arrived at Boston on a Navy transport, hav- ing been previously discharged from the Netherlands armed forcear and -were evidently sent to this country for six --months* training with the idea that they would later be sent ,to- the Pacific war area. The immigration office at Bon reported the -matter to the Commissioner of Immi- ,gration at Vhiladelphiav stating that they had arrived 10#444,pertission to enter the United States and the TIOartMnt of State was asked for a waiver, The Depart- tql*t-Applipd that it would not waive for these individuals tO t kr,teiv more about them. In the meantime, Lt. Goff, _ /rot the Transport Section of OSS, took the matter ?r.viti4 the immigration officials and the men were ad- ed without further examination,.
