COST OF LIVING

S
the spring, it is unofficially felt in
Washington.
That is to say, government reports
do not, as yet, justify any such pre-
diction. There have been some small
price increases, but not enough, ac-
cording to President Roosevelt, to
warrant an advance in federal sala-
ries before July /, at the earliest,
above the levels to which the last Is
per cent cut reduced them.
The President refers, of course, to
retail prices. Wholesale figures have
advanced decidedly under the present
administration. Labor department
statistics do show that. At the end
of the year, its last 1888 report indi-
Gates, there were 10 per cent, on an
average, above their average the day
President Roosevelt was inaugurated.
The cost of living, however, has not
risen materially, the President says
because retailers have been charg
ing much more than they did before
the wholesale bulge started.
Commerce and labor department in
vestigators have a very clear idea
why retail prices have stayed down,
comparatively, despite the upward
wholesale tendency, but their theory
is not revealed in the tables of mere
figures that they submit; one ascer-
tains what it is only by consulting
them personally. 1t is perfectly
simple, to hear them tell it:
With the NRA systems establish
ment, retailers generally foresaw an
all-around price increase, and accord
ingly stocked up for the 1888 "a
winter, at the then level-before NRA
had had time to affect it. Wholesale
prices did, shortly afterwards, start
to rise.
Many retailers doubtless woulC
have been glad to make correspond
ing advances, thus themselves becom-
ing the benefciaries of their cheap
buying, instead of passing the advan'
tage on to their customers, but COM
petition prevented them from doing
so.
In this fashion the consuming pub.
lie has been living through the winter
on pre-NRA basis, or not greatly
above it. But retailers Except per
haps a very few exceedingly large
ones, who will reap their own profit
from their forethought and tinancia
resourcefulness)s did not lay in sup
plies for the spring trade. Spring
buyers, then, will feel the effect of the
10 percent wholesale advance, plu
whatever retailers may pile on top O.
it; the rise is continuing. Some in
creases are more than 19 percent, too
That's only the average. Some arr
100. 1t depends on what the buyel
has to buy most Of, how heavily he
will be mulcted.
How rapidly wages and salarie
will adapt themselves to the stepped
up standard is problematic. Tha
wages will lag somewhat and salarie
be months and years behind highe,
costs, and that many incomes neve
will recover their own purchasing
power, is accepted by most economic
forecasters as inevitable. Briefly
there is small prospect that as high j.;
level of living will be regained as il
pre-war days. The New Deal doe
not promise that much.
1t promises better than depression
conditions, to those who were out o
jobs during the depression, hut {
lowered living standard to those VIII
held their jobs while the depression
lasted, and a lower standard than tn,
1914 standard to most folk. There
no use in trying to blink it.

THE NEW YEAR FORECASTS

Although most of the forecasts of
business conditions during the coming
year, made by experienced economists,
are hopeful in tone, there is a notice
able moderation in the optimism. Part
of this is no doubt due in part to the
fact that hopeful prophecies made on
the New Year during the past three or
four years, have resulted in disap-
pointments. Another reason for not
indulging in undue enthusiasms is the
fact that there are still obstacles to be
met and overcome before we are back
on the calm seas of prosperity again.
One of the points most frequently
mentioned in this years batch of pre-
dictions was that there must be halt
in the growth of public expenditures
and serious attempt to balance the
budget if we are to have uninterrupted
progress from this time forward.
Laurence P. Morse, financial editor of
the Boston Transcript, while optimis-
tic about the future, declares that
"there is no use fooling ourselves
about extraordinary and ordinary
budget The income and outgo simp-
ly do not come within speaking dis
tance of each other An actual deficit
of $2,500,000 to $3,0OO,000,O0O will
have to be made up in one of three
ways, and it makes all the difference
in the world to the economic future OF
this country which one of the ways is
chosen"
Rodger Babson, optimistic for the
long pull, takes occasion in his fore
cast of the year to call attention tc
the increasing burden of public debt
and adds that the governments prac,
tice of having two budgets, ordinary
and extraordinary, is only "an attempt
to kid the public" He adds that we
cannot go on forever increasing taxes
and forever throttling business, anC
predicts that reaction to excessive
taxation is coming. Fta
Calling attention to the fact tha
there has been an insufficient stimulus
to the capital goods industries, Jane!
R. Bancroft, president of the Ameri
can Institute of Finance, expresses the
opinion that prosperity will not re
turn to the country until three condi
tions are met: first, there must bt
an abandonment of the principle Of
depreciating and tinkering with oul
money; second, the government SHOULD
pay attention to stimulating the pur
chasing power of corporations rather
than individuals, and so helping tht
heavy or capital goods industries
third, the administration should direc
major attention toward re-establish
ing a satisfactory earning power il
industry, rather than toward "redistri
button Of wealth"
The general tone of the New Yea
predictions is hopeful, though not en-
thusiastic. The hope seems justified
by world conditions. Things are get
ting better in Canada, in Great Brit
ain, France, Germany, Italy and Soutl
America, just as they are improving
here. The history of depression il
the past is that the liquidation seldom
if ever, lasts more than four years
That four year period is now behint
us. Unless something unforeseen oc
ours, the going ought to be gently up
ward from now on.

summer evening when the moon
