Cleveland economist predicts 1939 better business year
Col Leonard P Ayers told the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce that 1939 should bring higher industrial output and more employment though long term recovery depends on sustained public spending. He warned against endless stimulus and urged renewed confidence for durable growth. He cited projections like higher industrial production than 1938, rising national income, and records in power and refining. The forecast emphasizes a shift from pump priming to long term recovery.
