Money-Credit-Ex
The October circular of the National
City Bank of New York has this to
say:
The cumulative theory of money.
or the effect of changes in the supply
of money and credit upon prices, is a
subject of never-ending debate among
economists; but the controversy is
. largely over imaginary differences.
That increasing bank reserves sup
port and encourage an expansion of
credit will scarcely be questioned. and
that this expansion of credit means the
creation and use of additional pur-
chasing power is an equally familiar
fact. The country is doing business
at this time under conditions which,
specifically considered, are calculated
to encourage people to go into debt.
Money is easy and interest rates are
low. while the profits of business are
unusually large. There is temptation to
borrow money to buy the stocks of
companies that are making phenomenal
earnings and to enlarge industries
which are making such earnings.
There is demand for goods which
scarcely stops a price. and with money
easy and cheap there is inducement to
increase the output, but every attempt
to do SO means further demand for
labor and materials. and thus tends to
put our entire industrial system upon
higher level of costs. Similarly, the
high prices for farm products will nat
urally encourage farmers to borrow
money to buy more land.
Fortunately, the whole country has
been thus far profoundly impressed by the
temporary character of this prosperity,
and extremely cautious in its opera
tions. The periodical scares in the
stock market have had wholesome
influence there. and it is not easy to
show that there has been undue ex-
pansion of industry or Indebtedness
up to this time; but as long as condi-
lions remain so favorable the danger
will be present. If the new supplies of
gold cannot be helpfuIly used. and may
be harmfully used. they had better not
be in the country at all.

ir stead of those foreign to his age,

lential to education, instead Of hay-
ng to cram for It during busy high
school years.
