Planned Inflation
Most of us tend to shy away from discussions
of inflation by economists. They are apt to be
lengthy, technical and, to the layman, hopelessly
involved.
However, an outstanding banker recently gave
a general description of the causes of inflation in
words which anyone can understand. Here's what
he said:
"Inflation was brought about in this country
as a matter of deliberate government policy over
a period of almost 20 years with World War II
thrown in for good measure .....
"Almost 20 years ago during a period of severe
depression, those in charge of our government
apparently decided that the fundamental law of
supply and demand was too slow in functioning,
and the economists wrote a prescription for a government-made,
synthetic form of prosperity, real
ly inflation, based upon a government-supplied
excess of purchasing power and a government
created short supply of commodities. Such a pro
gram obviously required money, and lots of it. The
government does not produce wealth it consum
es wealth .... So the government embarked upon
the policy of taking tax- money from those who
had something and piling up government indebt
edness and spreading the money around in the
form of doles, subsidies, parity payments, price
support programs, and other such devices among
people who would immediately spend it
"Thus there was created the doctrine that the
way for people to get along in this world was to
get more and more for doing less and less. This
was man-made, synthetic, artificially-inseminated
inflation, manufactured to order and found
for some years to be politically quite profitable."
There are the roots of our inflation, from which
today's towering plant has grown. It is just one
more sorry example of the fact that when govern

We Are An Occupied Country
(New York Christian Economics)
Our big Governemnt is liberal in spending
money on propaganda in favor of itself. Some
thing over $2 million a week is a modest estimate
of the cost of publicity men, printing and mailing
of hand-outs and holding of propaganda meet
ings. At least eighteen pages of The New York
Times would be required each day to print mater
ial received from Federal agencies.
Public meetings are held in various parts of
the country to which marketing administration of
ficials, agriculture personnel and other Federal
bureaucrats are invited. Eight dollars per day for
living expense, plus 5 cents a mile for travel is
allowed to thousands of bureaucrats who are as
sembled in these propaganda conclaves.
For the past five years, an annul meeting has
been held under the joint sponsorship of the De

THE 300-BILLION DOLLAR
QUESTION
If the cold war does not devel
op into a hot one, Uncle Sam will
owe his nephews and nieces
somewhere around the 300-bil-lion
dollar mark. If we should
become involved in an all-out
third world war, it iis a safe guess
that the national debt will soar
far above that amount.
The 300-billion-dollar question
is, will Uncle Sam ever be able to
pay off that debt? The answer
is "NO" if the unsound, make
shift financial politicies of the
past 20 years are continued.
Uncle Sam, however, CAN dis

These assemblies are used to promote state

opposed to these measures are nevertheless com

We have been occupied by a field army of more
than two million Federal employees strategically
deployed throughout the 48 states. This formid

charge this obligation it will
take a bit of doing, but it can
be done. It would be a long, tor
tuous climb out of the morass of
debt, and it would involve a
number of "MUSTS".
First of all, we would have to
abandon the idea sown by the
Socialists, Parlor Pinks, the
Planned Economists, and the
Anti-Business Group that any
one who earns his way honestly
and'fairly, who by industry and
thrift achieve more of material
(success than his less industrious
and , less provident neighbor
must do so by thieving and to
the detriment of his fellow citi
zens.
Having abandoned that silly
idea, we would have to have a
revival of thrift and economy; we
would have to discard the fool
ish notion that dollar marks and
price tags represent a standard of
living, and recall that what we
produce makes for the comforts
of life. We would have to place
production before thought of pro
fits, and if wise enough to do
this, history would repeat itself
profits in plenty would follow
for, both capital and labor.
We would have to insist that
no politician be allowed to de
fraud us by tampering with the
integrity of our national obliga
tions, or be permitted to con

We would have to substitute
civil integrity for political trick
ery. We would have to revamp our
system of taxation not for the
benefit of business nor for per
sons of larpp income, hut for the
benefit of government itself
(which is all of us), so as to in
sure adequate tax revenues. Bus
iness and wealth will lose their
capacity to produce taxes if our
present confiscatory rates of in

enterprise.
Government would not be per
mitted to resume its persecution
of "Big Business", or of any-size
business.
Hundreds of thousands of un
necessary government employees
would have to be released for
productive labor in industry,
thus taking them off the backs
of the taxpayers.
Government would have to free
itself from the domination of
pressure groups in order that all
citizens would promptly obtain
simple justice.
Those are the principal MUSTS
In November 1952, we will elect
a new President, a new House of
Representatives, and one-third of
our Senators. We must see to it
that the man we put into the
White House, the 435 Represen
tatives we send to the new Con
gress and the 32 Senators we
elect, are committed unequivo
cally to these "MUSTS".
If we do these things, Uncle
Sam will have made a valiant
start towards paying off. It will
be a tough, long pull. It will call
for sacrifices on the part of ev
ery citizen, exalted or humble,
Will we have the wisdom and
the courage to tighten our belts
so that this colossal debt will not
be passed on to our children and
to the generations as yet unborn?
That's the 300 billion dollar
