Favorable Aspects

The new plan for recognizing
the consequences of the artificial
shortages temporarily caused by
the wartime mobilization has
its favorable aspects for bust
ness also. Before the compre-
henSive ceilings were announced,
many companies were faced
with a virtual ceiling on profits
because of taxes. without any
corresponding limitation on the
cost of raw materials, semi
finished products, and wages.
Now at least a gesture Is
being made in the direction Of
putting a ceiling on the COM
ponent elements of business cost,
as well as on prices. Likewise,
by avoiding runaway rise in
prices now business will avoid
the hazards of return OF
prices down the stairway after
the war is over.
Even though the effect Of the
ceiling. if it proves workable,
will be to safeguard the pur-
chasing power of money, it
should not be overlooked that
for the duration money will
have only limited, instead of gen.
eral, purchasing power. Money
will not be able TO buy pro-
seribed articles, such as auto
mobiles. tires, electric comfort
goods, radios, and most durable
consumer goods. But it will be
able to buy food. shelter and
clothing.

of widows, orphans and retired
persons living on annuities and
on life insurance proceeds.
Thus. the new price ceiling
program, if it succeeds. will
serve the thrifty. and will re-
tain something like the current
significance to the income of all
those with fixed dollar receipts,
including the vast army of
teachers and civil servants. The
campaign will also tend to re-
tain the value of prevailing
wages, salary and farm income.

Wise Insurance

Apart from the selfish invest
ment aspects, the purchase of
war savings bonds constitutes
wise insurance. 1t is an in
vestment in victory, which is
essential alike to the preserva-
tion of human liberties and
American property rights. Obvi-
ously if-heaven forbid-our
human liberties and our prop
erty rights after the war were
subject to the whims of Nazi
or Nipponese overlords. they
certainly would fall TO an
abysmal discount.
Thus. the liberal diversion Of
current income to the acquisition
of war savings bonds and stamps
is prudent as a means of con-
serving our existing capital in
liberty and in material posses
Sions. In such circumstances,
the need is so urgent that most
patriotic Americans would turn
over the funds to the govern
ment AS a gift. if they were not
confronted with a busineSslike
offer from the treasury TO
return the funds in full, with
attractive interest.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-05-03
No Double Dealing

In view of what is at stake.
there should be every in
centive to make the war eco
nomic program effective. In the
circumstances. it would be in
excusable to let political motives
result in the pulling of punches.
There must be no loopholes and
no double dealing.
If the purchasing power of the
dollar can be frozen at this
level, war bonds and all other
dollar obligations of solvent bor-
rowers tend TO become more
alluring.
In the matter of war saw
ings bonds. patriotism and en-
lightened self-interest are fused.
The bonds pay a liberal rate of
interest, and safety of principal
in terms of dollars is assured.

referring 10 the new provisions II

These provisions cannot pro-

aboliShes the distinction be-

distinguish long-term from
