Its mission was ‘‘to work closely with representatives of business, labor, and the public . . . to correct persistent structural problems that cause prices to rise and to inform them of the consequences of irresponsible wage and price behavior. On July 22 the Cabinet Committee issued its first public statement. It turns out to be a plea addressed to business and labor to ‘‘exercise utmost restraint in their wage and price decisions.” It argues that such restraint “is essential in order to attain price stability and preserve prosperity.” It is hard to argue with a statement phrased in these terms. Who can protest against a plea that private actions be influenced by considerations of the public interest..
