WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. A busi
ness Inflation Is coming, probably
early next year. The sharpest econo
mists here are
convinced of It.
They are ao aura
that they speak
of it In an off
band manner aa
& certainty. In
fact, the admin
istration la mak
ing some prepa
rations for It in
accordance with
the bank bill.
It will not be

congressmen are

talking about not
government Inflation. That has been
going on for four years. It started
with the first unbalanced budget,
The new turn will come when the
H demand for goods exceeds the supply,
thus causing a precipitous rise In
prices. There will be a rush for goods
which cannot be stopped by existing
cautious inventories. Prices will bid
up abnormally for whatever stocks
exist.
With two and one-half billion dol
lars of excess reserves In federal re
serve banks (August 9) to finance
expansion of actlvlety. you can sec
that the possibilities aret quite lively,
lively.
A general hint of what Is coming
lies behind the front page announce
ment by General Motors that it Is
spending $50,000,000 for plant ex
pansion. Ford Is supposed to be
planning a similar expansion.
Unfortunately this Is not true of
all Industry, or, In fact, any other
industry at present. If It were, It
would be the finale of the gloom
era, because this phase of business
activity is the single key to the un
employment problem. The bulk of
the Jobless Is in durable goods In
dustries. They are the men who
make equipment for the manufac
turers. They will never get back to
work until manufacturers find
demand warrants expansion.
that
The automobile makers found it
out this summer. Their Industry has
been the first to recover. The reason
is they decided to put out a better
product at a cheaper price. The way
the public gobbled up that product
was beyond expectations. Production
continued abnormally high into the
summer season: late orders had to be
rushed through for steel.
Next year the motor men are not
going to be caught short that way.
They are expanding.
A somewhat similar situation de
veloped in summer clothing. Manu

had been living at 716 Cedar street
here for the past several months with

Following the pillaging of the Ron

allegedly by Hoppel. Several more ap
peared a few days later in Portland,
and then none were cashed for some
time. Later they began to appear In
Los Angeles. It was said that post

Hoppel, the suspect, a good start, and
he led the federal officers a merry

alegedly passed more at Murray and

in Portland.

at least 48 of the money orders had
been passed, 47 of them made 'out for.;

the signatories to these documents.
2. Unprovoked attack by one of the
