ReadJustment OF Affairs Must Be
Gradual, Says Financier.
Chicago. November. Is. During
the entire war period and for some
time thereafter. prices OF commodities
and wages advanced by leaps and
bounds and. OF necessity, the volume
OF credit and currency was expanded
to meet the requirements of agricul-
ture, commerce and industry said J.
B. McDougal, governor Of the Chicago
Federal Reserve bank, today. Tins
development, which occurred for per-
dod OF five years or more, has quite
recently reached the apex and we are
now confronted by problems, complex
in their nature, attending the process
of deflation.
while it is true there have been
commodities, notably wool, cotton and
silk. the public should not overlook
the fact that no material concessions
have as yet been made on the part Of
labor, which is the largest contribu-
ting factor in the cost Of converting
raw materials into finished products
This calls for consideration on the
part Of the buying. public. failure Of
whose part to continue buying to the
extent Of their reasonable needs will

the public.
Losses involved through failure to
liQuidate stocks may prove a serious
handicap to business, whereas, il
spread over reasonable period of
time, the readjustment will be orderly
and should be accomplished without
serious consequences.
Unfortunately, the situation is not
clearly understood by the general
public. There is abundant evidence to
indicate that the attitude of the
American people at present is one OF
Impotence with q desire to get back
hmm ediately to normal conditions,
whereas It should be understood that
the process of safe readjustment OF
the ultimate postwar level must be
slow and will require the exercise c.
patience and cooperation on the part
Of all concerned"
