War Business Is a Small Portion of National Output
The article argues that war related business is a small share of U S production. It cites Secretary Redfield on 1916 totals, estimates munition exports at about 200 million in 1915 and 300 million in 1916, and places overall war business around 1 67 to 2 4 percent of national output, with exports and other earnings making only a minor impact on the economy.
