The Economy
Sir,—Economic recovery in the West could be retarded, imperilled maybe, because new problems were left to old heads to solve. The indications here and from President Eisenhower’s proposed vast roading scheme are that methods of 1933 on are to be applied to 1958 on. Present slump symptoms are, however, in some contrast to earlier ones. Present objectives as public Works, too. lie in other directions. By 1965, we can believe, delivery vans will take to the air from a standing start (as will newspapers be published, if at all, on plastic scrolls as portable television). If relief work has now to be made it can most usefully be adapted to preparing ' gamma-proof shelters underground. As the generation responsible we may take our dosage neat; as we love our young we must hive them below. Surplus foodstuffs could be processed for storage in limited spaces. Expansion along such avenues of employment promise at least a dividend.— Yours, etc., FRANCIS WM. HEAL. April 3, 1958.
