Stock Market
Narrow, Quiet
At Opening

NEW YORK. Feb. s.-The stock
market was a narrow and quiet
affair at the opening today, fol-
lowing the modest decline yester-
day.
Motors were firm. Chrysler
edged higher while GIN, Hudson
and Packard held al previous clos
ing levels. The latter started on
1900 shares.
Many leading issues were UNI
changed. such as American Tele-
phone and egraph. Allied
Chemical. Bethlehem Steel, Re-
public Steel, United States Rub
Der. Westinghouse and Radio
Minor advances were chalked
up by General Electric. Loft. Penn
slvania. United States Steel and
Yellow Truck.
American Can. Anaconda, Du-
pont. international Nickel and
Standard Oil of New Jersey all
were behind small minus signs.

Price Control
Policies Viewed
By Economist
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor of Economics. n. Y. University
Every once in a while we hear
about a vicious SPIRAL Not so
many years ago, il was the
vicious spiral of defiation" that
was TO be avoided. Now it is
the vicious spiral of imitation"
that is most assailed. tSome
government official has just
warned against letting rents
rise. lest 1t start a spiral OF
rising prices.) In other words.
when we are up. some OF us
don't want TO get down; and
when we are down. some OF us
don't want TO 60 up.
Maybe the answer is. let COM
petitiye prices alone. Keep mar
kets free.
At present. there are certain
cases OF necessity and emer-
gency. in which we have no
choice. Here, free choice and
competition cannot be relied
upon. In these cases. prices may
well be fixed. But in that event,
we should realize that the
prices" fixed are not real prices
In the sense that they represent
demand and supply conditions.
They are just somebody's arbi-
trary idea of what the price
ought to be.

Favor Higher Prices

This last procedure. resorting
10 devices that affect the actual
supply or demand in particular
cases. has been effective in part.
The price OF steel scrap has been
reduced a little below the peak.
The bulk of the copper has been
sold at II cents. Several other
commodities after having adj
vanced considerably have been
stabilized or held to present
levels.
But these are mere particular
cases. The government seems 10
have no general policy. since it
does not try 10 hold farm prices
or wages down. My impression
IS that IL actually favorS higher
prices for many farm products
and for labor.

Retail
Volume
improves

Retail distribution this. week
advanced a few percentage points
over the previous seven-day period
on the average. although in a few
instances slight decreases were
noted. Dun & Bradstreet, Inc,
reported today.
Compared with the same week
last year, increases this week
ranged from 3 per cent TO IS per
cent, with the average at 8 per
cent. Shoe sales were particularly
good.
Price increases are being put
into effect on an ever increasing
number OF items. but demand is
holding up as the, result of in
creased cons sum purchasing
power. In fact, merchants report
pronounced trend on the part of
the consumer 10 buy better quality
merchandise.
Retailers are of the opinion that
inability to get prompt delivery on
orders in the coming year will be
more of hindrance 10 their bust
ness than customer resistance TO
price advances.
Wholesale activity advanced
over the level of the preceding
week and remained al about 5 per
cent above last year. Advance
orders are still coming In in con.
siderable quantity and orders fol
fill-ins OF Winter merchandise
have been more numerous TIN,

The Living Standards

/ think that the implications
of the new population statistics
have thus been enormously
evaluated. II seems TO me that
the progress OF the future can
depend more on improvement of
the quality-the living standards
of the population rather than
on mere rapid expansion in num-
bers. The memorable trends at
home and abroad will inevitably
make economic growth over here
depend on good sociology. that
is. on opening new markets
within our gates through raising
the material well being of the
10000, 900 American families.
Nevertheless. the pessimists
have fallaciously viewed popula-
ton trends with Oriental fatal
ism. They have failed to recog-
nize that the changes were out
growths OF human decisions,
which could be reversed when
ever public opinion desired.
The slowing up of population
expansion came primarily from
a voluntary restriction Of immi-
grafton by congressional law.
IL also resulted TO a less extent
through the development among
the home population of volun-
tary limitation of the size of
families.

Impulse TO Migrate

Exhaustion in Europe and
Asia after the war will unques-
tionably promote the impulse to
migrate. Accordingly. we in the
United States will be in position
10 get as much immigration as
we deem advantageous. Instead
of approaching the subject dog
matically. we should keep our
minds flexible, and base our
changing policies on a real UNI
derstanding Of how our national
economic body functions.

talitarian countries tends 10

Is Saving a
Virtue or Is
II Now a Vice?
BY b. c. FORBES,

Is II because Of the govern
ment's shocking example? Or is
II because of the countless finan-
cial catastrophies which followed
the panic? Or is it because of
the unprecedentedly lean interest

banks? Or is it because accept
ance of relief has become so
commonplace?
There is room for difference
of opinion concerning the cause,
but there is no room for differ
ence OF opinion concerning the
drastically changed attitude in
this country towards saving.
Until New Dealers ushered In
a new, era. saving was uni
versally accepted as virtue. II
was recognized that this nations
resources could not have been
developed as they were de-
veloped without capital, without
the use of savings. Saving and
self-respect went together.

In the circumstances, ii will
be desirable to review the whole

Unquestionably. II will be
more necessary than ever to re-
late immigration quotas to the

Reduced TO Minimum

In an economic democracy.
such cases ought to be reduced
TO minimum. Is this what we
are doing?
One gets the impression that,
while there is little sign of any
desire 10 prevent general rise
in prices-at least. If il be
gradual--there is some tendency
TO adopt price-control policies
which would have TO be very
general in effect. These policies
are OF three sorts.
Obviously. taxation can have
only very general effect upon
prices. The idea would be 10
prevent us from spending. and
TO force US 10 save. The heavier
taxes would mop up any in
crease in the money incomes we
get, so that we could not buy
so much. Thus the demand for
goods would be reduced. This
would be about as likely 10
affect one goods as another.
Much the same conclusion ap-
plies to the various credit and
monetary schemes TO control
prices. Some may still think
that the reserve banks might
keep prices down by selling
bonds, seeking 10 mop up our

was largely the effect OF the
failure under the new immigra-

new bread eaters a year.
1t seems to me that the best
interests of the United States
are served by flexible immigra-
ton policy. This would entail
sharply reducing immigration
quotas in periods of depression
and unemployment. and rapid
expansion of the quotas in times
of labor scarcity and increasing
national prosperity.
