Babson Discusses
Real Cost of Living
Babson Park,
Mass., Nov. 21—I
know something about "oost-of-liv-
ing" indices.
When I was Assistant
to the Secretary of Labor I had a
hand in making the government cost-
of-living index then in use.
The U.
S. Bureau of Labor’s present index
is complete, but impractical.
198
different goods and services are pri
ced.
Rents are priced in 33 cities
for a varying number of dwellings
where wage earners and
clerical
workers live, depending upon the
size of the city,—from 450 In Man
chester, N. H., to 2750 In N ew York
City.
The cost-of-livlng Index is made up
by combining a separate Index for
each group of expenditures. The food
group is derived from such items as
cereals and bakery products; meats,
fish, and poultry; eggs and dairy pro
ducts, fruits and vegetables; fats and
oils, sugar and beverages.
"Cereals ’
include white flour, macaroni, corn
flakes, and corn meal; whereas "fruit
and vegetables" Includes apples, ba
nanas, oranges, green beans, cabbago
carrots, lettuce, onions,
potatoes,
spinach, sweet potatoes,, as well as
the canned and dried varieties.
Other groups cover clothing, rent,
fuel, Electricity, house furnishings.
Insurance, and miscellaneous. There
is an index for each of the 33 cities
covered.
Thus, the index is not
meant to represent the cost-of-living
on farms .
I have adjusted this U.
S. index to cover the 15% waste
which goes into the garbage pail and
elsewhere.
I, however, have made
no allowance for the billions wasted
on crime, harmful drugs, etc.
The
importance of waste cannot be too
highly emphasized In computing a
cost-of-living Index, particularly In
these times.
The President, in his
proclamation
establishing
Civilian
Defense Week says,—"W e must halt
the waste and all unnecessary use
of critical materials."—I submit my
