Roosevelt, so far. has been too fast for EVERYONE who ha wanted him to do aomethlng he doesn't want to do. , DIRECT Inflationists, up to now. have been "kissed, off," to use a bllllsrdlst-s term, every time they have sought to accomplish their pur pose. Here la a prediction: ' The direct lnflatlonlate will win their point before the coming winter la over, bringing about cheapening ot the dollar In some form or other. - AND HERB la another prediction: When they do, Franklin Delano Roosevelt who doesn't want Infla tion but probably realizes he will have to accept It sooner or later, will be amart enough to make It appear that he. and not the other fellow, won out. THIS, by the waj. la said In praise, and not In blame. Making It ap pear, that jou always win la one of the qualities of real leadership, and Roosevelt's very real leadership Is the best assurance we have that we will pull out of the hole we are In. A17HAT"' you may ask, "la direct W Inflation?" It Is cheapening of the dollar, either by reducing Ita gold content or by starting the printing presses and printing more paper dollars. ANOTHER question: "What Will It do?" Broadly speaking. It will put two dollars In your pocket for each dollar you have there now. and In the long run these two dollars will buy no mors than your present one dollar because prices will rise In proportion to Inflation. BUT LISTEN: ' ' If you are a'debtor, you can pay TWO WHOLE DOLLARS of debt with Tour Inflated two dollars that took the place of the one dollar you had in your pocket before. nABnv rmrcT. roKifma a NRA ad 1 uwnus ......
