Whatever the Cure
Steel is going up. Milk is going up. Meat is going up. Cigarettes
are going up. Unashamed "surrender” to an Inflation that has been
surreptitously supported by many factors in the national life ever since
the lifting of the much cursed OPA is a naked promise of a coming
winter which will find more and more people of the United States
doing with less and less.
There are many economic theorists and many laws of supply and
demand that will discount the fear of an Inflation, followed by reams
of "printing press money” by financial chaos, by national hardship
and deprivation. And there are a number of fallacies with which these
theorists wrap themselves to give some semblance of authority to
their pronouncements.
One of the outstanding beliefs that finds repeated publicizing is that
the general public is enjoying a surplus of money. How this can be,
with the bare living expenses across the country at their highest
mark in history, is something the theorists do not explain.
Another pat belief is that wages are at an all-time high and more
than the 60 million Jobs promised have been fulfilled.
It is a safe assertion that, among the more than 60 million Jobs
there are positions which do not pay enough to adequately maintain
a family of two, let alone the basic sociological requirement for
the continuation of the human race—of a family of four, minimum.
It has been the experience of so many wage earners that not only do
their earnings go to meet the monthly expenses. Accumulated savings,
too, dwindle at an alarmingly fast rate. They learn the bitter axiom
that the average wage level does not keep step with the level of
prices.
A situation arising in wartime Introduced to the markets of the
nation a new principle which sallied forth to challenge old economic
laws of supply and demand. That principle is concerned with a
controlled market, exemplified by curtailed and constantly up­
ward price movment.
An example of this principle in operation is In the automobile
industry.
Whether by plan or by business practice, the output of automobiles,
as against the backlog of accumulated orders, has been puny. The
much mentioned rule of demand regulating the supply, in this
instance, takes an awful beating. And the price of a once-moderate
class of automobile has now over-taken the once-current , price ,of
luxury models.
Where this inflation all began and, more Important, where it will
end is something that no one has bothered to explain, in terms that
are credulous.
*
Whether the current head-long inflation is an aftermath of war-
year prosperity (when price control and rationing curbs made savings
accounts possible) or the result of a government-subsidized volume
of foreign trade making domestic trade an afterthought, the situation,
today, is grave and challenging.
Should there be a clamping on of price controls, to keep the cost
of living from getting entirely out of sight? Should there be another
empty-handed, conversational campaign for volunteer cost reduc­
tions? Should there be more devices dreamed up by the national
administration to bleed more taxes for some program of subsidizing
production for domestic use?
Should there be an attempt, with words of ponderous weight by
economic sleight of hand artists, to take two dollars from one pocket
and put one dollar in another pocket with the other dollar going to
pay administration costs of the whole Idea?
Perhaps there will come out, in the near future, some fancy system
to hypothetically solve the problem of inflation. And maybe not until
ths U. S. approximates China's condition, where $1 buys some 60 mil­
lion yen, will the leaders firmly make up the country's mind that
something must be done.
With all the pollilcal promises by which one faction or the other
will do so much for inflation-relief, it's worth about a plugged nickel
to suppose the sum total of such activity will put even one quart
more milk on the family table, at even prevailing prices.
It's easy to discount the ominous threats ahead. But it seems quite
impossible to affect a remedy whatever the cure might be.
