...inevitable lowering of our living standard can be offset only in a growing economy. Growth can be achieved through a massive capital-investment program to expand industrial capacity and productivity. This requires a major improvement in corporate cash flow through higher prices and profits, as well as vastly more liberal depreciation measures. Growth can also result from major changes in consumption patterns to reduce our intake of imported raw materials and energy. This necessitates drastic action-for example, a $1-per-gal. gasoline...

Monetary policy has indeed loosened in recent weeks. Short-term...
UNEMPLOYMENT will rise to 7% by midsummer, a frightening consensus, unless the Administration moves more decisively. Yet the prevailing view is that action will be taken long before the 7% mark is reached. To battle recession, Ford may have to give more tax relief to lower-income groups and expand the public service employment program beyond the limited scheme announced last week...
