It would take more space than I have here to explain why this is so. You will have to be con- tent with the bare statement and accept 1t as true. But you need not doubt 1t. Look at thees fig- ures.
 In June, 1884, there were $6.- 700, 100000 in circulation. In June of this year there were $9,- 500, ,00O, 900 = an increase of $2,- S00O00,000. Tn June, 1884, there were $500 100000 in our banks. Tn June, 1941, there were 65,000,- 100000 - an increase of $27, ,000,- 100000. So in seven years money in circulation increased less than $3,000, 100000, but money in the banks increased $27,O00, ,000, ,000. Most of that increase was created by the government by making loans at the banks. Some of 1t, of course, is due to the irnporta- tion of gold, but the great bulk Is

Canadian Tips ToU.S.
 May Speed Up Housing
Low-Cost Home Developed By Canada for Wartime
 and Postwar Needs

says F. W. Nihols, Canada's Di- rector of Housing and Technical Advisor for Rent Control. These conditions necessitate large-scale. new construction combined with the modernization of many exist ing homes.
 As and indication of Canada's great need of housing, says Nich- ols, the percentage of vacancies in most Canadian centers has dropped to between one and two per cent. In some parts of Canada there may be no vacancies at all for the workers who are fiocking in.

There is a bureau in washing ton called OPACS (Off1ce of Price Administration and Civilian Sup- ply.) It is headed by Leon Hem derson - New Dealer, former econ- omist of the Democratic National Committee and later member of the s. E. c. He is supposed to hold prices down. But they show plenty of signs of getting out of hand. Hence he scared lot of people recently by saying "the honeymoon of the boom is over" Tt is = pretty nearly. But not quite.
 Has Henderson the power in law to control prices? The answer is-no, by long odds, to the extent necessary. Congress is about to debate the question of giving him that power. What power should 1t give him? And if he gets the power, what can he do to control the situation? And remember, all mixed up with this, is the Ques- ton of imitation. Is that around the corner? Can it be stopped?
 It is complete waste of time to seek the answer to these ques- tions unless we understand what is the force which is producing the problem. The immediate wor- " is rising prices. The force be- hind that is imitation. Imitation produces high prices. And war imitation produces still higher prices.
 HOW MONEY INCOME
 IS EXPANDED
 What is imitation? It is, very sim ply, the artificial expansion of money income in the nation. What is money income and how is it ex- banded artiflcially?
 First of all, there are two kinds of income-real or natural income and money income. The real in- come of the nation is the sum to- 1 tai of all the goods and services which it produces in year - all the food grown and processed, all the clothes, luxuries, etc.
 The money income is the sum total of money that flows into the pockets of the people. Think about | it for a moment. What is your in- comep It is your salary, your wages, your profits, your interest 1 in money that pours into your pockets weekly through the year Where does it come from? Il comes from factory, a store, an ofice, railroad, a utility com pany where you work. Who pays 1t to you? The man or the ccr' lporation that owns the business.
 Every other mans income is tht same. Tn other words, the money Iincome of the nation is the sum total of all the payments that are made by business concerns tc their employees, their investors their owners. So you see that money income is produced natur- ally and normally in the course oi producing goods and services And 1t is that money income which is available to buy what the nation produces.
 GOVERNMENT BORROWED
 AT THE BANKS
 Now then, how is this income artihcially expanded? Well, sup lpose the government should decid' to start the printing press and prin
 money and spend 1t. All that 1 printed would be produced who'll. unconnected with the process o making goods. But 1t would swell
 the money income of the nation There are various ways of produc ling money incomes artificially
 Printing the money is one. But 1 can also be done by the governmen
 by another process. The govern
 ment can do this by borrowing a
 the banks.

A BEAUTIFUL WORLD

BEAUTIFUL WORLD am sitting in my cottage At Bear Hill Grove today. Last night 1t rained quite hard, But now 'tis cleared away. can see the sun way over in the West; It's just going out of sight Which leaves us here in darkness, But again tomorrow we'll see it just as bright When 1t comes we're always glad, For 'tis the greatest friend we have It drives away all thoughts That might be very sad. So let us all remember To look out in the East To see the glorious sunshine Before we have our feast. Iris such 8 beautiful world We're living in today.

 This it is which is at the bottom of the price rise - the artificial ex- pansion of money income, infla- ton of money income by govern ment borrowing at the bank. This imitation process has increased its tempo in the last year.
