THE CONSUMER—FORGOTTEN MAN
J7oR a long time in the United States, as elsewhere, the consumer has been east for the role of the forgotten man. Not liking his position, he has developed a mass consciousness which Mrs. H. J. Bond, president of the American Home Economics Association, describes as one of the most important social and economic issues of the day. This awakened interest is attributable to the effects of the depression and to the belief that most incomes will continue to be limited. The American people would be very annoyed to be reminded that only a few years ago they were proclaiming that for America the era of permanent prosperity had arrived. The reminder would hurt because the permanent prosperity idea was based on the fallacy that America need not care what became of the rest of the world.
