oy fabled Sorcerer's Apprentice had learned how to put some forces to work but not how to stop them. Our challenge is to find ways to bend our gigantic productive forces to our own will, to meet our rea) needs. Right now the U. S. is spending some $45 billion yearly on war prepara- tion;"and concurrently, around seven and a half million of our people are employed in war-related work—including the armed forces. Now picture a ten-year period in which armaments would be reduced by regular stages, down to a figure sufficient to cover internal security and our share of a world-wide United Nations inspection and police system— say $5 billion a year. Reduction on this scale would release some $200 billion otherwise going into armaments—as shown below. When we study the saving from this kind of ten-year disarmament plan alongside some of the nation’s needs, many attractive uses can be seen. A sample reapportionment of the money saved is shown below. How would YOU recommend that the savings from disarmament be used?
