Show 4- These facts are obscured in the economic data generally disseminated, which by broad categories leave the impression that California's industrial pattern is noticeably similar to the average of all states. It may be quite true that our industrial activity pattern in 1959 closely resembled that of New York, but there is a vast difference in what we manufacture and what New York manufactures. Unpleasant as it may be, we must face the fact that defense spending in the last decade has been the principal generating cause of the remarkable growth of our economy. From 1950 to 1957 the defense industries expanded at a 22% rate, but the warning bell is already sounding for those willing to hear it, for the expansion rate of our defense industries has slowed down to a 2-1/2% to 3-1/2% rate since 1957. What is the significance of all this? To me it suggests that our economy in California is particularly vulnerable to the prospect of peace, that any thaw in the Cold War or even a slowing down in the rate of expansion in defense spending here could bring about severe economic dislocations, and that we may be presently ill-prepared to effect an orderly transition to an economic situation more oriented to a world preparing for peace. Rapid growth sets in motion other economic forces - increasing land values, higher labor costs to attract workers, and higher costs of local and state government. One of the difficulties is that the rest of our California economy tends to get caught in the tide and paces its expansion along with the defense industries.
