employment is not employment for employment's sake, but a higher 

 level of living — a goal to which farmers not only might contribute, 

 but one in which they should also participate. 



To this point, nothing has been said about "another way out" — 

 another way to help achieve full employment after the war. It has 

 been suggested that this country could help maintain a high level of 

 employment and income by lending large sums of money abroad and 

 thus enabling foreigners to purchase a part of the expanding product 

 of its farms and factories. Under the right kind of international 

 collaboration to raise the level of employment throughout the world, 

 the prospects for maintaining full employment in the United States 

 without the necessity of resorting to heavy Government spending 

 would indeed be brighter, though some of the domestic measures 

 discussed here would still be needed. The problem of how to achieve 

 the right kind of collaboration is another story. It involves the 

 basic issues of imperialism and cooperation — of war and peace.
