WAR PRICES


One of the principal causes of war
time shortages and sky-rocketing
prices is the fear of them. The man.
ager of any company making fin
iShed goods out of raw materials is
responsible for continuous supply. If
he sees ahead what seems to be a
period of scant material and rising
prices, he not only "covers" by buy
ing for his usual output for six
months or maybe year, but he
goes as far beyond that as his re-
sources will permit.
This is "good business" from ev-
cry angle. 1t is good speculative
risk from the angle of probable ris-
ing prices. 1t is good insurance
against possible future shut-downs
or delays due to inability to get ma
terials later. Finally, there is a
temptation even to borrow money to
increase stock piles and inventories
to abnormal size. A period of price
initiation is good time to owe money
and to own things.
The combination of all these rea-
sons is almost irresistible. Apply
them to all the thousands of bust
ness concerns, big and little, and
you have tremendous national
force working everywhere to create
the very condition of fear which has
caused it.
Part of these reasons work in the
same direction for all individuals
and for the great war purchasing
government departments. All peo-
pie like to buy while they ''can get
the stuff and before the price
rises" An officer in charge of an
arsenal or a navy yard turning out
munitions has really dreadful re-
sponsibility for producing on or
ahead of time and in quantity. He,
too, fears the delays that future
shortages may cause and to the ex-
tent of his powers, will overstate' his
requirements and build up his inven-
tories.
Of course, this is a form Of
boarding" is a war time
word of evil omen. 1t is truly evil
because the certain result of these
practices is soaring prices, to the
detriment of the whole nation and
sometimes with a result of complete
economic collapse and disaster.
This column has continuously ar
gued against Capitalization of fed
eral power, but in a war economy
some Capitalization is necessary in
the public interest. In the haste to
get the defense program through the
legislature, not enough attention has
been given to this phase. We need
simpler and more direct emergency
statuatory authority to control price,
priority and increasing inventories.
This is a subject that should have
the immediate attention of congress
even before tax legislation. We
could lose more through price in
fation in a year than increased taxes
could recover in 10 years. s- ~ 4

MILITARY EXPERTS

This has certainly been tough
war for the military experts -
both the columnist kibitzer or radio
amateur variety and the real pro-
fessionals. The amateurs have
been bad enough, but the biggest
boners of all have been pulled by
those who from training, education
and profession should really have
been expert.
The English and French bet their
national existence on the exporting
of their soldiers and sailors that
they could hold Hitler on the Magi-
not line and outmaneuVer him north
of that. They pushed Poland into
the storm and then tossed her to the
wolves and left all the small ma
tons of Europe Chat had been adj
vised by their own military experts
to rely on allied strength) to be con-
quered in a few weeks.
The English experts bet that they
could outfox Hitler on the Norwe-
gian coast. They were wrong about
that, too. Then Hitler's military
high priests told him he could clean
up the British Isles in 1910, but he
is still at the channel ports.
Mussolini's mighty military men
told him that Greece and North At
RIGA were pushovers, and see what
happened to him. Japan expected
a tea party in China. She got it, but
it was spiked with arsenic. Russia
was advised by her professionals
that she could swallow Finland at a
gulp. That didn't happen and since
Joe Stain is more direct in his
methods, he liquidated his experts
and got some new ones. I don't
know if they are any better.
The sciences of both tactics and
armament have shifted too fast for
the experts. There are too many
imponderables in modern war. The
basic principles of war never
change, but military genius consists
in applying them to new conditions
and no such genius has yet appeared
no, not even Mr.. Hitler's bright
young men, Notwithstanding their
unparalleled conquests.
For example Mr.. Winston
Churchill now tells us that this is
just a war of machines-ships and
land mechanical monsters-and that
we shall never have to mobilize great
masses of men to go to Europe.
don't know whether war is no longer
a matter of mass man power or not
and neither does Mr.. Churchill. I
only know it always has been. He
is clicking pretty well on military
matters just now, but it's doubtful
whether any leader ever made so
many military mistakes in the
course of one lifetime and survived
them as a public character.
1t depends altogether on what di.
rection this war takes and whether
it will develop into war of massed
man power. There is no one on
earth wise enough to predict those
directions. Hitler certainly has both
machines and mass man power, at
least $50 divisions. If the war aims
of England are as Mr.. Churchill
has stated them, to reconquer Eu-
rope, it is just simply silly either
to say that the job will not require
mass man power or that we shall
not be called upon to furnish it.
