General War On
Prices Makes
Great Progress

One OF the remedies proposed for
the high cost Of living is deflation.
II is pointed out that II we cannot
reduce prices by various plecemeal
methods we can effect a general re-
duction by making money worth more
II we increase the purchasing power
of money prices are thereby reduced.
There are two methods by which
initiation can be brought to an end.
We can, as did the Russians, increase
the issue of unsecured currency with
out stint or limit, until it ceases to
have purchasing power-in other
words, wipe out the value of all un-
secured paper money and place the
nation on strict gold and silver
basis. AS there would not be a 1.-THE
OF the necessary amount OF coin in
circulation the business OF the coun-
try would be ruined and men would
be compelled to resort to the old
method OF barter and trade.
The other method is the gradual,
scientific contraction OF the circulat-
ing medium or debt that has been
created TO meet the exigencies of
war and wars aftermath. 1t is by
this method that the proponents of
deflation in Washington plan to in
crease the purchasing price of the
dollar and thus lower prices.
The danger of deflation lies in its
disturbance of business and the Gre
ating Of alarm and finally of panic.
The effect OF panic is much the
same as the effect of wiping out all
the unsecured currency OF coun-
try. Credit which operates by means
OF checks and bills of exchange, Is
contracted to such an extent that
business is crippled and only those
who have gold and silver are able to
transact business.
II must remain wildly In the rec
objection OF most OF us that during
the panic OF 1907 some of the coun-
tiy's biggest business concerns went
into the hands OF receivers because
of the contraction OF credit. Sup
piled with credit. these firms could
have escaped insolvency but denied
credit they were unable to continue
their business. A number OF these
firms quickly came out from under
the receiverships as soon as the panic
had passed. They resumed business
and have continued to make profits
ever since.
II deflation is attempted, there
fore, we must exercise the utmost
economic wisdom to let ourselves
down as easily as possible. 1t is
much like landing from an airplane.
II the landing is made too speedily,
there is smashup.
The wise merchant as soon as he
discerns that prices are rising to a
new level, makes provision for the
day when the leveling downward
shall begin. When prices rise he
sells his old stock-purchased cheap
ly-at an inflated profit. but he sets
aside a surplus against the day when
he must sell at low prices the goods
purchased on rising market
How many of our merchants have
displayed this wisdom? II deflation
should come with more or less sud
denness, how many would have a
surplus to take up the slack? Ev-
en- merchants who commonly are
accounted wise have convinced them
selves that prices have reached new

selves. Herbert Hoover tells us that
Europe is in danger of depending too
much on our charity and should be
told to shift for itself in the matter
of food. European harvests are in.
but they cannot be up to the pre- war
standards. Twenty or more wars
have prevented the farmers OF Eur.
ope from producing as much as is
necessary for their own wants.
While there should be no disposi-
ton to starve the Europeans It Is
our duty to be circumspect in our
charity. II it be true that 5000. 900
children in the United States are
undernourished because their parents
are too poor to pay the high prices
we can see that there is vast room
for charity at home. We must not
enfeeble our race to strengthen the
races of Europe. We made unparall-
elled sacrifices during the war and
now Europe should be asked to car
ry its own burdens as much as pos
sible.
We must not become fanatical,
however, on this subject OF keeping
our goods at home. If we have
anything to spare we should see to
it that Europe is supplied. II we
are going to get back within a rea-
sonable time the SIC, 1000, 900, 900 we
loaned to Europe we must supply
Europe with raw materials and give
her chance to work. That ten bill
lion dollars is part of our debt. On
it is based much of the circulating
medium which has produced infla-
ton and a fifty cent dollar. II we
had it back we could begin the pro-
cess OF deflation without difficulty by
lliquidating that part of the public
debt and contracting the currency
based on it.
But are there no remedies? Let
us pause, for a moment, to consider
what might be called home rene
dies while congress is trying to de-
wise panaceas.
IL we are to lower prices we must
work hard and avoid waste. Hard
work means increased production.
Avoidance of waste means conserva-
ton. We can work hard by avoid
ing strikes and by giving fun meas
ure Of Service. We can produce more
II we make our labor saving ma
chinery produce to the limit OF it's
power.
We can avoid waste by saving for
merly unconsidered trifles and by
cutting down on luxuries. The last
bit OF advise may be regarded by the
poor as a mockery, but all classes
waste by INDUCING immoderately in
Injuries. II the labor used to create
luxuries were cut down and the sur
plus labor used in producing neces-
saries OF life prices would decrease.
The market basket, il used in the
proper measure would do much to
reduce the cost OF living.
While we are waiting for congress
to invent the universal methods let
us practice the particular methods OF
making our fifty cent dollar go as
far as possible. Meantime however,
we must not relax our efforts to
bring the profiteers to book. Only
by constant agitation and action can
we keep profiteering down to a min
