HEAVY INCREASE
IN LIVING COSTS
DUE BY JUNE |
General Gain in Values Is
Also Predicted by
NeW-OeaIerS.
By United Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. Iii The
New Deal recovery chart forecasts
substantial increase in the cost of
living by June /.
President Roosevelt has told con-
ferees that rising scale of living
costs will be accompanied during
the first six months of this year by
a general increase in values which
will lessen the difficulty of paying
debts.
The Administration is favorable
to increased prices and plans ulti-
mately to attempt price sterilization
at some level so far undiscloSed and
probably undetermined. There is no
official justification so far for as
Stunning that Mr.. RooSevelt's objec--
tive is sterilization at the 1926 price
level.
Official upward trend forecasts
are conditioned on hope the United
States Supreme Court will decide
the Administration possessed conSti-
tutional authority when it abrogated
the gold clause in private and gov
ernmental securities.
Expect Courts Approval
Democratic politicians generally
predict a favorable court decision.
They base their Judgment largely
upon famous remark:
Trade follows the flag and the
Supreme Court follows the election
returns"
Further dollar devaluation does
not figure in Administration expec-
tations that living costs will in
crease in the next six months and
perhaps for two or three years
thereafter. The dollar is to remain
at its present SO cents gold value
pending international discussion of
currency sterilization.
Increased employment, a greater
volume of business turnover and the
expenditure of Mr.. RooSevelt'S
S4000,000,000 recovery and relief
budget are expected by New Dealers
to carry prices to a higher level
without further cheapening of the
dollar or recourse to printing press
money.
Highest Since 1881
The trend of living costs is indi-
Gated by Labor Department sta
tisticss on wholesale prices. Latest
figures for the new year reveal
the highest level of wholesale COM
modify prices since January, 1881.
The department uses the average
of 1926 prices as an arbitrary index
of 100
On that basis, the index for the
week ended Jan. IL was 1876, a
point off from the preceding week
but seven points higher than the
corresponding week of 1884. The in
dex figures reflect prices generally,
including food, textiles, fuel metal,
building materials and house furn-
ishings.
There has been general upward
movement of living costs since the
spring of 1888. The National In
dustrial Conference Board estimated
that living costs in 1884 were 7 per
cent greater than in 1888. A rather
more rapid advance this year is ex-
pected by some well informed per-
sons.
Increasing volume of retail and
wholesale trade ranging from 10
to Is per cent compared with the
corresponding period of last year
have been reported for the early
days of the new year. There are
forecasts that retailers are about to
enjoy the best spring season since
1890.
