Real Anti-Inflation Program
Contains Political Dynamite
By S. BURTON HEATH
Congress Is not going to enact any down-to-earth anil-Inflation
program at this session. The President Is not going to recommend
one. If any courageous or foolhardy legislator should Introduce such
a bill, both parties will floe at top speed with loud cries of anguish.
You can't make an omelette I
without break!' k eggs. You can't
- cure Inflation without stepping
on a lot of toes. There is no gen
eral agreement as to Just how
much of what ingredients would
be necessary to bring Inflation
under control. But every non-political
economist knows the ingredi
ents and every one is chock full
of political dynamite.
There are two obvious ways to
get more production, at a time
w hen every man and machine al
ready Is In use. Oi : is to get
more In the same working time.
The other Is to Increase working
hours, without boosting the unit
cost by overtime premiums. No
politician In election years is go
ing to vote for speedup, for strike
prevention, for a longer basic
work week before overtime be
gins. So those are out.
Must Curb 8pending
The only practicable approach,
politically, is through an attempt
to hold down the amount of
spending money available. The
President's program pecks at that
In four oi its eight points. But
rent controls aim at the one con
sumer cost that has risen least.
An excess profits tax takes mon
ey from corporations, which

might use It for expanding capac
ity, without taking it from con
sumers, whose spending orgy
causes Inflation. Commodity spec
ulation is far from a major cause
for high prices. Which leaves in
creased control over "Inflationary
credits as the only positive rec
ommendation for an attack on
the fundamental evil.
But again. Inflationary bank
credits are petty offenders. The
real evils, It cannot be repeated
too often, are too much money
in bills and sliver, too much
money In savings accounts and
savings bonds, too much easy
credit at stores and through in
stallment finance houses. Not one
Item in the President's program
even hints at these things. Nor
have the GOP leaders in Con
gress been a whit more forth
right. Both are scared out of
their election year wits at any
notion of discussing such things.
If inflation Is to be brought
under control, the Incomes of
workers and of farmers must be
brought under control. By all
means try to limit undue corpor
ate profits; but If these were
eliminated completely, the result
ing dent in the price level couldn't
be seen with the naked eye.
What frightens both parties is
the plain, unarguable fact that
it inflation Is to be controlled,
wages must be held down, farm
prices must be permitted to seek
their own level without support
In the clouds, loose money must
be taxed away, credit to consum
ers must be cut to rock bottom.
The use of bank and bond sav
ings for purchase of consumer
goods must be discouraged.
Pressing Ned Ignored
Just when the American peo
ple, wealthy beyond their wild
est dreams, have got their minds
set on buying all the luxuries and
new-discovered conveniences, they
must be restrained until Industry
can produce more, and more, and
more.
That Is not a popular program.
It Is not one that any candidate
for public office is going to want
to face. It Is not one that either
party will dare admit In this po
litical year.
So we shall have to content our
selves with Jockeying In which
each party tries to make the oth-

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12 tt.-P))
Americans smoked 345,000.000.-
000, cigarettes during the year
ended June 30 another new rec
ord.
This was the equivalent of a
bout 121 packs for every man,
woman and child, But inas
much as many persons do not
smoke, the number used' by
smokers averaged much higher
than that. How much, no one
knows.
Consumption In the previous
year which smashed a record
set the year before totaled
327,000,000,000 cigarettes, or an
average of about 119 packs for
the population.
The Agriculture Department,
which put out these figures to
day, said another new record is
expected during the current
year.
