Banker Assesses
Savings as
Backlog Of Peace

CHICAGO, Sept. &c. CUP)-Fred
w. Lawrence, president OF the saw
ings division of the American
Bankers association, told the 10th
annual convention of the ABA that
the savings of the people must be
recognized as the true foundation
for credit in postwar plans.
Lawrence, treasurer of the Maine
Savings bank of Portland, Maine,
said:
I'VE have been living for years,
both in peace and in war, in an in
toxicating atmosphere, character
lied by profligate spending Of to-
morroW's income.
1.-The stern logic of the thrift les
son as taught on countless pages
of history is the imperative need
for reasonable Withholding of
some present consuming capacity
to insure the stability and perma-
nence of a more national volume
tomorrow. Gluttony never yet was a
remedy for indigestion"

Admitting that he is scared to
death of postwar initiation and de-
flatiCn, Price Administrator Chester
Bowles has a neat little story to il
| lustrate how some people in this
country can get what he calls an
initiation psychosis, while others
may be hit by the deflation jitters
at the same time. It goes something
like this:
Here yoG lave two families liv-
ing in two houses, side by side In
one lives War-plant worker whose
wife has also had a war job. They've
build house. Then along comes the
end of the war, and these people
lose their jobs. Immediately they
start boarding their money and
holding back on their plans. That's
deflatiCnary.
Right next to this family there
lives an insurance salesman. He and
his wife want to build house, too.
But the insurance man thinks buSi-
ness is going TO be good, and what
scares him is that prices are going
to be higher as soon as controls are
off. He wants to build that new
house now, and buy that new car
now, before everything goes up.
He's inflationary.
BoWles points to these two cases,
right on the same street, as exam
pies of the crazy, cockeyed economy
the country is going to have as soCn
as the war is over. Boom it can. go
up, or bang it can hit the skids.
Officially, BoWleG won't guess
which way it's going to go, believing
that the drift may change from
month to month. But he realizes
that a mistake by OPA on its post
war pricing policies may throw the
economy one way or the other, and

POSTWAR PRICING PROBLEMS
Peter Edison

I that's what he's hoping can be
| avoided.
POSTWAR PRICING PROBLEMS
! Right now, OPA Is trying to plan
how 1T can get out from under price
controls as fast as possible and
item by item, the same way it got
| in. In some cases prices may nat
urally drop below the present CELL
ings. The trick then is simply to
take off the ceilings.
At the same time, it will be neces-
sary to pat new price ceilings on
items which haven't been in pro-
duction and which you haven't been
able to buy during the war years.
In general, OPA new is aiming to
have these items come back on the
market at approximately the same
prices in effect in the first quarter
of 1912, when production of con-
sumner durable goods was largely
stopped.
Going over the list of items that
will be brought back into produce
tiCn. when the war is over, OPA has
found that less than a dozen types
of goods make up 85 Per cent Of all
the items which will need new price
regulation. Included in this list are
automobiles and parts, refrigerators,
sewing machines, vacuum cleaners,
radios, pianos, heating equipment,
watches and jewelry. OPA is asking
the manufacturers of these lines to
come to Washington in the next few
weeks to work out their postwar
pricing problems.
Holding strictly to the view that it
Is to the manufacturers advantage
to keep prices low and build up vol
ume of sales, BoWleS believes busi-
ness will see the need CT price regu-
lation in the transition period.
AS fewer than SO companies will
manufacture nearly 80 per cent of
all TIE new lines Of goods that will
have to be brought under new price
control OPA's problem will be SIM
plified.
SMALL BUSINESS CONTROLS
For the remaining 25 900 or more
small manufacturers who turn cut
the eggbeaters, garbage pals and
little stuff that make up the other
Is per cent of the goods needing
new prices, OPA now plans two
courses of action. First, small buSi-
ness concerns with small volume
of product may be given complete
exemption from price control. This
will take a big administrative load
off OPA's shoulders and at the
same time give small business a
break in the fight for the highly
competitive postwar market. Sec
ond, small manufacturers may have
their products put under a pricing"
formula, administered by OPA dis
trict offices which will also be au-
thorized to grant relief in hardship
cases.
There is no thought CT profit cons
troll, other than that all price con-
troll covers costs plus profits. The
theory is to get back to 1912 costs
and 1912 profits, with relief being
granted in hardship cases to allow
for increased production costs such
as increased rates Of pay to labor.

Aged Aid Bill
Before Congress

SACRAMENTO, Sept. &c. (UP)-
If the Murray Wagner-Dingall So
cial security bill now in Congress
becomes law, California would save
money by refusing to accept further
federal funds toward old-age assist
ance payments, Charles M. VOL
lenbcrg, state director of social well
fare, declared today.
WOllenberg reported at a COVER
nor's council meeting that the bill
originally contemplated eliminating
part Of pension applicants, but "a
all residential requirements on the
compromise at one year may be
adopted in congress.
The present California require
ment, he said, is five years resi-
dence in the state within nine
years.
IF we participate under the Mur-
-Wagner-Dingall BILL" Wollen-
Eerg said, "the number of old-age
assistance beneficiaries in Califor-
MIA, now $4,000, would probably
double within three years
