The new study puts the past 13 years into perspective by emphasizing the 50-year record and the effect of price increases since 1909. On this basis, the department reported, economic growth has averaged 3 per cent a year ever since the 1909-13 administration of William Howard Taft. In other words, the economy is growing but this is nothing new or unusual. Growth rates exceed the 50-year average during both world wars, the study snowed.

Recent Expansion Charts and figures in the study give this pieture of, recent economic expansion: During theywar. the growth curve moved sharply upward. The economy made up the ground lost during the depression and raced ahead of the long term upward trend, but only briefly. There was a slowdown at war's end and, since then, the increase in national output has been closely in line with the 50-year average.

Over the 50 years, the department said, output has increased twice as fast as the population. Since 1947, it added, output has outstripped population growth by about 20 per cent. which occurs from 35 degrees 50 degrees north or south.
