front changes that are coming
as certainly as night follows day.
TN fact, one is justified in wond
ering if the native common
sense of our people isn't more
to be trusted than the outgivings
of some of our alleged leaders.
In New York the other day,
Mayor La Guardia got out of
his system the supposedly serious
statement that we -should now
proceed to DESTROY such sur
plus materials as will not pro
vide employment for war work
ers! -
What are these materials?
Well, they include such things
as food, shoes, clothing, blankets
and similar consumer necessities
Their estimated value runs far
into the billions maybe as much
as 15 or 20 billions: They are
all things that people want now
and NEED now.
Imagine a serious proposal to
destroy them at this particular
moment! : -
.
A SIDE from the economic sin
" inherent in the deliberate de
struction of things that contri
bute to' the welfare of human
beings, consider the effect of
such destruction of consumer
goods upon inflation, that ogre
that threatens us always when
money is more plentiful than the
things to spend it tor.
The way to head off inflation
is to keeD eoods ABUNDANT
ENOUGH to prevent the sky
rocketing of prices, ine sure
way to BRING ON inflation is
to reduce the supply of goods
materially below the supply of
money.
That is exactly what La Guard
ia is proposing to do uzuiBbtl
ATELY. IF we are to PROMOTE in
flation by artificial foolishness
such as destroying existing sup
plies of food, clothing, etc., we
must then proceed to RESTRAIN
it by such artificial devices as
rationing and price control.
The inevitable and necessary
result of La Guardia's absurd
proposal, if it were carried out,
would be to extend OPA and
rationing much farther into the
future than would otherwise be
required.

Reports of Gas
Spraying Mistake
MATTOON, 111.. Sept. 13 (A)
Mattoon's mysterious gas-spraying
night prowler, state and city
police officials have theorized, is
non-existent, and the excitement
resulting from repeated reports
of his alleged attacks during the
last two weeks, they said, was
"a mistake from beginning to
end."
Fumes from a war plant and
mass hysteria, the officers said
yesterday, were to blame for the
reports by more than a score of
persons that they had been at
tacked by the marauder who
supposedly sprayed an unidenti
fied, sickening gas through open
bedroom windows.
