MOVE TO REACH OAL OF PLENTY

U. S. Must Guarantee to End Risks of Periodic Declines, He Says.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 30 (U. PD). Commerce Secretary Harry I. Hopkins today called on business, labor and Government to join in an effort “to fulfill the unlimited promise of America” In his first annual report to Congress since assuming the eahinet post, Secretary Hopkins outlined the responsibilities which he said must be assumed if the goal of plenty for all is to be reached, He said: Business must readjust price policies to the requirements of mod- | ern mass consumption, | Labor must avoid forcing wage rates so high they tend to reduce | output and employment, The Federal Government guarantee to eliminate risks periodic economic breakdowns. From the experience nf the past 10 years, he said, emerge conclusions of utmost importance to the economic policy of Government and business,

Warns of Deflation Mis

Foremost, lesson, he declared, is that deflation generates cumulative | forces which may shatter completely the productive machanism, “Once deflation dominates economy,” he said, “it tozen maladjustment: for every ane it corrects. To prevent these disastrous deflations is a fundamental responsibility of government.” He asserted that the United States had developed techniques which would halt, deflationary processes ‘So powerful are these instruments of the Federal Government.” Mr. Hopkins warned, “that their application requires the most careful and consistent adjustment to economic developments and an avoidance of abrupt modifications.” Mr. Hopkins pointed out that! residential construction has been confined primarily to houses costing more than $4000 and hence to famflies with incomes above $2000.

Favors Cut in Home Costs

“This group constitutes less than 20 per cent of the total population,” he said, “Nearly 25,000,000 families | have incomes of less than $2000 a! year, A reduction of construction | costs to make houses available at $2500 would tap a substantial frac tion of this vast potentinl market. "At present, many business firms operate on the basis of a “Breakeven’ point placed at a low proportion of capacitv—they anticipate =» low volume of sales, and set their level, despite the fact that such prices to assure a profit at such pricing policies themselves restrict and increase unit costs.”

‘Lahor Able to Bargain’ Labor, Mr

Hopkins said, is now able to bargain with industry on “more nearly equal terms.” i “In this strengthened position,” he continued, “labor as well as in- | dustry will recognize the needs and | operating principles of our eco-| nomic system. Wage rates which actually reduce output and employ- | ment, or restrictions which prevent | technological advance, impede the expansion of consumption and investment and affect all interests adversely, “In seeking to improve the condition of labor, it should be recognized that high wage rates are not always synonymous with high annual income for the workers, It is the latter which is the primary objective.” | Economy-and-Tax Plan Wins Favor

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 (U. P). The latest shift in top Treasury personnel which putz ohe-time Clerk Daniel W. Rell in office as Undersecretary eoineides today with developments of hig business sentiment to submit to further taxation if necessary to speed the balance of the Pederal budget.
