No One Has a Good Word for
Inflation But Many Like It
By SAM DAWSON
New York, June 21 (&) The housewife who hopes for lower
prices and the producers and merchants who say they are being
hamstrung by controls are squarely at odds again today.
Congress talks of hog-tieing efforts to roll back the prices of
eral fold unlil the bubble
bunts.
Deflation or a drop in the
cost of living and a rise in the
value of the dollar looks
mighty tempting to everyone, on
paper. But when you try. to
bring it about through controls
and credit, curbs on pay raises,
and rollbacks in prices, deflation
is about the most unpopular
thing around.
It means that farmers and oth
er producers of raw materials
get fewer dollars when they
sell the fruits of their labor. It
means processors of these mate
rials get less for the finished
product, and may be caught with
the goods on hand and lose a
lot of money.
It means that fighting infla
tion by credit curb leaves- auto
and household appliance dealers
with slock they can't move, and
many lower-income pepole are
denied the goods they want be
cause the payment terms have
gone out of their reach.
It means that controls bury
one and all under an avalanche
of paper work and red tape with
confusion twice confounded.
And always controls breed more
controls.

opposition of many farmers,
manufacturers, merchants and

No one has a good word for
inflation. It sends the cost of
cuts the real value of savings
accounts, insurance policies, "E"
bonds and pensions.
But a lot of people enjoy in
flation in practice. Pay checks
are fatter even if they buy
less per dollar at the store. In
come from things they grow and
produce is greater. Corporation
sales, earnings and dividends
climb fast in dollar volume. In
other words, inflation looks just
like "good times" increased sev
