BOARD TO
OFFER FOREIGN LINES
Conditioned Upon Suitable
Guarantee That Private Opera
ton Must Maintain Service

WASHINGTON, April IA de-
cision has been reached by President
Harding and members of the ship
ping board at two-hour conference
to proceed at once to the consolida-
ton of the boards foreign trade lines
and then offer these lines and ships
for sale under authorization of the
Merchant Marine Act of 1920, con-
ditioned on a suitable guaranty of
maintained service.
The program further provides that
if the government finds itself I'M
able to sell the ships and the lines
without "justifiable sacrifice" the
policy then will be to proceed to di-
rect government operation.
The whole policy as set forth in the
whitehouse statement after the con-
ference as declared to be builded
upon the basic principle that the ad-
ministration is determined that the
United States should have a mer-
chant marine
1t was added that in furthepance
of that purpose the support of the
shipping interests, the shipping pub
lie and the American people was
counted upon.

following inquiry, and as it presents
a point frequently raised, we give it
in full;
Would not an in1ationar-
period of say some two years
duration, and within more res.
sonable limits than the las.
period of imitation, be benefcial
in the direction Of making it nos
sible for the government TO de-
rive much larger income taxes
through the plentifulness Of
cheap money than could possibly
accrue with business moving nj
more normal pace? It is NOT
conceivable that the ordinary
expenses of the gOvernmar-
would increase sufficiently Ia
take up this increase in tax re-
celpts, and this would make If
possible to very effectively re-
duce the. present large PRINCIPAL
of government indebtedness
making the reduction Of princi-
pal and the payment of interest
considerably easier for succeed
ing years.
This suggestion is answered in the
foregoing. The countrys wealth anil
the governments revenues must be
increased by production. It is de-
sirable to supply credit to the extent
that production may be increased. OUT
TO this extent there is no imitation
Beyond this point, where additions
to the credit supply expend their In.
huence in forcing up wages and
prices, every increase Of prices means
corresponding reaction later which
more than offsets the apparent bene.
hts Of the boom. The government
revenues might gain during the in.
hation but they would fall below nor
nal when the initiation had sDent il.
self. Business is best served bv sta
BILE conditions.
Imitation is a difficult condition to
deal with, for prices that are made
by imitation require more limitations
to sustain them. As with the usa Of
liquor or a drug, more is constantly
required to produce the same effect.
Tt is true that a permanent increase
in the supply Of money may establish
a permanently higher price level. but
that depends upon international adj
justments, and we already nave In
this country a level of prices which
the international adjustments ara
likely to lower,

earners are as much interested as
anybody in stable conditions. When
the available labor supply is already
fully employed, a competitive strug-
gle over it does not increase produc-
tion. 1t simply forces up wages and
prices until declining consumption
offers an effective check, and unfor-
tunately it is then too late to avoid
the backward swing into depression.
1t is moro difficult to adjust wages
and prices downward than upward,
and.a state of prosperity which if in
telligently kept in balance might
have lasted for years, is thus
wrecked.
There is good reason for believing
that the level of industrial costs in
this country is already fully as high
as can be sustained, with a general
revival OF industry and competition

POstponing Work

There are hopeful signs in many
quarters of an inclination to hold IN
enterprises that have been under
consideration and await the turn for
quipment and materials, rather than
struggle for precedence under adj
vancing costs. Every such occasion
tends to prolong the present period
OF prosperity, and is in every way adj
yaHtageous. Secretary Hoover has
done a wise thing in writing a let
ter to the President urging the sus-
pension of building operations by the
united States government until there
is relaxation of the present demand
upon the building trade industries.
The policy should be adopted by pub
lie authorities generally and in prf-
,yate operations so far as may be nee
.essary to keep the demands upon the
industries within their capacity.
The capacity of the industries in
their full swing is very great. and
there is no reason to doubt that they
will be able to supply all wants with
out very protracted delays.
The Question of Imitation
Much that is written upon the sub
ject of Imitation" treats it as mainly
ia banking condition, to be judged by
the state of reserves and the ability
of the banks to grant credit without
undue expansion, having regard SIM
ply for their own safety. This view
does not include the most important
phase Of the subject under existing
conditions. Bank reserves in this
country are unusually high, as the
result of a heavy movement of gold
to this country, which in turn has
been the result Of the one-sided state
of our foreign trade during and since
the war. We undoubtedly have more
than our proper share of the worlds
gold, based upon such a balanced
state of trade as is mutually advan-
tageous, and allowing for the re-
serves which other countries should
have, as a base for their currencies
and to maintain stable exchanges.
One reason then why bank credits in
this country should not be expanded
to conform to the present reserves is
that present conditions are abnormal
and that eventually we probably viii
have to give up portion of these re-
serves.
Moreover, as set forth above. the
industries of the country are already
working practically at capacity. or
to the limit of the labor supply. In
