ECONOMISTS REVIEW
PRICE RISE CAUSES
Credit Imitation, Quantity of
Money and Redeemable Value
Cited by Prof. Fisher
WAR MONETARY LESSON

The Importance OF credit imitation In
raising the price level Is one of the three
lessons in monetary theories that the
world war Is teaching. according to Prof
Irving Fisher. addressing the annual
meeting of the American Economics AS
sociation, at Haverford College. today.
The meeting was held in conjunction
with similar gatherings OF the American
Sociological Society and the American
Association for Labor Legislation. at
which war problems affecting their
phases of endeavor were discussed by
experts.
This war. | believe. will be viewed by
economists as having emphasized at
least three important points in monetary
theory" said Professor Fisher. First.
u will have afforded important evidence
that credit imitation is a real factor in
raising the price level and that war

new savings, are of substantially the
same nature as the so-called forced
loans of previous wars. and, for that
matter. of the present war also, among
European nations, i'm the form of ir-
redeemable paper money
Second IT indicates clearly that an
increase in the quantity Of money is the
cause of a rise in prices rather than
vice versa, for the reason that IL time
