The research program initiated in 1942, during World War II, by the Committee for Economic Development has as its focus a study of the chief economic factors affecting the maintenance of high stable production and employment. It is revealing of the tumult in the postwar world that this report on National Security and Individual Freedom has a place in such a research program. It is apparent, however, that the economic strength of our country is vital to our national security; and freedom of the individual as well as a free economy have been, and are, pillars of our economic strength.
This report examines the problems that confront us in seeking national security without forfeit of the basic values and principles of American life.
