COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -
Pres Ronald Reagan, on the
campaign trail again, declared
Monday that inflation is the
cause of today's near record
unemployment and — once
again — he blamed it all on his
Democratic predecessors
He also suggested that the
nuclear freeze movement is be
ing manipulated by
people who want to weaken the
United States
Reagan said his comments
were sparked by the appear
ance of several hundred
demonstrators where he spoke
at a meeting organized by five
veterans' groups
"They were demonstrating in
behalf of a movement that has
swept across our country in
spired by not the sincere, hon
est people who want peace, but
by some who want a weakening
of America, and so are man
ipulating many honest and sin
cere people," he said
In the prepared portion of his
speech, Reagan said various
reasons are given for the pres
ent joblessness, but "in my own
view the cause is one and one
only: inflation.”
Most economists would argue
that rising unemployment has
resulted, not from inflation itself,
but from government policies
designed to fight inflation by
slowing economic growth
Reagan s new chief White
House economist, Martin Feld
stein, made that point at his
Senate confirmation hearing
Sept 22, when he said those
“who predicted that inflation
would be reduced without rais
ing unemployment have been
decisively proven wrong."
Since 1979, unemployment
has been rising while inflation
has been falling Inflation, as
measured by the Consumer
Price Index, has receded from

the other hand, has been climb
ing — from 5 8 percent in 1979
to 7.1 percent in 1980, 7.6 per
cent in 1981 and an estimated
9 5 percent this year
Reagan said his administra
tion has "brought inflation
down, and interest rates are fol
lowing."
He did not say why unem
ployment remains high — it was
9 8 percent in August — but has
said in the past that unem
ployment figures are the last to
improve when an economy
comes out of recession.
Reagan was on a campaign
trip for two Republicans who are
trailing their Democratic op
ponents in Ohio's gubernatorial
and U S. Senate races.
Reagan told the veterans,
“I'm not here today to cam
paign,” but he made a pitch
anyway for Rep Clarence
