Asks Higher Prices

The main requirement Of sound
economics just now is to recog-
nize that our finances and our
currency are greatly inflated.
and to allow this condition to
find expression in expanding
business and rising prices.
This correct policy involves a
different attitude toward indi-
vidual saving and investment,
and incidentally, toward the
stock market.
Unless and until the thrifty
and intelligent person. who is
able and willing TO save and in
vest in productive enterprises, is
given an opportunity to protect
himself against the development
of effective imitation. initiation is
not going 10 develop in any
effective way.
The government cant expect
10 initiate its credit and currency.
and to have conditions remain
unchanged. 1t cant have the
cake and eat ii. too.
Let the government abandon
its unintelligent radicalism with
reference to private saving and
investment. Let it abandon its
unsound monetary notions. Let
it abandon its demagogic atti-
tude toward organized labor"
monopoly. Then see how the
business outlook will change.
And incidentally. the stock
market would recover TO a much
more reasonable level.

Feared
By New Dea|ers
AT the7HeInn
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor of Economics, y. y. University
Like the average OF weekly
business indexes. the stock mar
ket averages have hardly moved
now for at least four weeks.
There has merely been a sort of
wavering undulation within an
extraordinarily narrow range.
There is. however. a signif-
cant difference. The business
curve is at a very high level, as
judged by past standard The
question is. can the defense
spending spree prime the pump
so as to carry business activity
on up over certain cyclieal NAL
adjustments?
But the stock market curve is
at a low level; and the question
is, can the nation meet the bur
den of defense spending without
bankrupting its busiress enter
priSes, either by taxation or by
government regulation ?
There is danger the social
planners who nov run the gov
eminent will bungle as they have
in the past If they do Ret
adopt economically correct poll
cies. all their spending may fail
to prime the pump.
The outcome would be that
the machine would virtually
stall and perhaps the social
planners. with all their inept-
ness, would try to run things.
They would say IF business
