A ‘careful study by researchers at Kaiser operated *shipyards, indicates that the answer will not be a slump but the beginning of a period vf bustling activity. There are many conflicting opinions as to the conditons of the post war era, but one thing is certain— California will progress and _ this progress will be felt in small towns as well as big ctiies. As is to be expected the switch from. war to peace production will ibe accomplished by painful readjustments especially in factories which abandoned their peace time process@s and retooled for the exelusive production of .muntiions. These -Diants both-large and small will have no Miecenitvesin Ae easier the pangs of reconversion. Nevertheless even before the war ends, industries will be permitted to reconvert their productivity to material of peace. Already the government has authorized the sale.of 31 California ‘war plants to private interests. Scores of other factories, new aad old, devoting all craftsmanship to military needs, have reported that they can on amazingly. short notice, start manufacturing for the civilian market. : The furniture industry, now heavily engaged in war production needs no reconversion or retooling to pick up where it left off. : j Similarly the oil industry faces no problem of reconversion in turning gut fuel and lubricants. The same is true of countless others which will return to production. of peace with. equal facility. These industries and. so called luxury wares will play a great part in absorbing some of the shock wave of readjustment, thus assisting the less fortunately situated industries. But a more important reaon for optimism than the above is the: fact that: California, because of the war, now possesses fundamental assets which make progress Inevitable. We have acquired certain industrial advantages on the west coast which need not and will not be discarded when war is over. Our factories have learned © new arts, new processés and how to. Ory: 3 with new materials. sa Above all, we have acquired a tremendoug reservoir of skilled manpower. Thousands of craftsmen have come from other states. Other thousands unskillde, have been trained to new tasks. These assets combined with the American spirit of individual enterprise mean that Caliiernls is on the march. As in the past all persons cutting and transporting Christmas trees must comply with the provisions o Section 384A of the California Penal Code which requires that they mit from the property owner where the treesare to be cut.
