price scale low enough to encourage
buying and the resumption Of normal
activities"
AS soon as stable and wholesome
scale of prices is achieved" said the
announcement, 1.-THE cost of living will
have so far been reduced as to create
automatically reductions in the price
Of labor without interfering with
American standards and ideals for the
treatment and living conditions of Ia
Dor and thus the last initiating element
will have been withdrawn from prices.
1t Is believed that industries will
agree that the cost of living must be
substantially reduced before labor
should be asked to accept lower wages,
and thus industry should stand the
first shock of REIMBURSEMENT"
