MOULTON FEARS PRICE INFLATION SPIRAL. , BROOKINGS INSTITUTION HEAD EVES FACTORS SEES ADMINISTRATION FOR BUDGET BALANCING CALLS ABULI'T WAGE HIKES ECONOMICALLY LNSOINH WASHINGTON. Sept. JO. Cat-a-eorner trom the White House, across beautiful Lafayette park, alts a man In a. tall office building casting a cold economic eye on the New Deal. Ha la Harold O. Moulton. president of the Brookings Institution, ana the organization over which .he pre aldea la conceded to be (by the guide book prepared by the WPA) "one of the leading eoclfl-sctencc research institutions of the coun try." . Last December, the Institution pro duced a report entitled "the recovery problem In the United States," which, with other report from trie same agency, was denounced by some New Dealers as "conservative political propaganda." In this volume there was drawn up a sort of balance sheet of debits and credits Insofar aa recovery was concerned. Today, after seven months, Dr. Moulton has consented to draw lor this column a trial balance of the account as he sees it to date. Under favorable factors, the re port listed eight point. The first was: Abundant loanable funda available at low Interest. That factor, ha believes, still stands on the credit side. The next was reduction of private Indebtedness. That still stands. Wages up to 1937 were reported a Increasing gradually, .due. to .In creased efficiency. Prices rose very little. This situation has changed radically, for wages have been forced m arbitrarily and prices have risen sharply, which makes It necessary to transfer the wage-price factor to the debit aide of the account. Improvements in agricultural and Industrial conditions were keeping abreast when the report was pub lished. Now, while agriculture keeps paoe with Industry. It Is only by accident or by such "acts of God" as the recent Canadian wheat crop failure. Uncertainty over money and bank ing policies waa ending with the start of '37.
