These are not difficult days, measured by what we have gone through, and what other parts of the world are going through.

It seems unrealistic, therefore, to think of the interests of the consumer today except in relation to our whole economic situation.

These are not difficult days, measured by what we have gone through, and what other parts of the world are going through. But they are uncomfortable days, and they are days in which a portion of the population which needs protection as consumers, may equally need protection as holders of jobs. It seems unrealistic, therefore, to think of the interests of the consumer today except in relation to our whole economic situation.
