POSTWAR INITIATION
(New York Times)

(-\tN / Olh lIlltSJ
The prophets have been predicting in
flation for so long that the problem is
regarded complacently. Whereas bill
non-dollar appropriation caused concern
a few years ago, budgets of almost $780,
000, 900 900 seem to cause little comment
today We have come to take these huge
sums for granted.
In part. we have escaped the full i'm
pact of the inflationary price rise which
would otherwise follow our huge deficits
by the comprehensive economic controls
adopted, the sharp increase in tax bur
denS, and the great volume OF voluntary
savings Many persons seem to assume,
however, that our ability to prevent the
full effects of inflatonary finance dur
ing the war means that we will be able
to postpone them indefinitely.
w. Randolph Burgess, vice chairman
of the National City Bank, has recently
called attention to the fact that we have
not eliminated the basic inflationary
pressures. He points out that "the basic
forces which produced the initiation of
1919 and 1920 are with us today but
raised to the nth power. Government
deficits are much larger the increases
in currency and bank credit have been
far greater.
An important postwar problem will
be how to minimize the initiation inner
ent in the huge amount of credit created.
While economic controls have played
useful role during the war, it is probable
that they will have only limited ettec-
tiVeness in the postwar period because
of the inevitable reduction in public CO.
operation with such controls, the new
types of problems that will arise, and
the substitution of a multiplicity OF
peacetime purposes for the slngleness OF
wartime Objectlves.
Policies designed to encourage maxi
mum postwar expansion OF production
are essential. Actions taken now IN con-
naction with reconversiOn, for example,
will influence the speed OF the return
to full peacetime production. And full
production can be one of the most etfec-
tive barriers against inflationary price
increases.
While the use of wartime savings will
probably provide cushion against
sharp decline in postwar employment,
anV large-scale conversion Of wartime
savings into goods will exert pressure
for inflationary price rises. The pres
sure on the price structure Will be MOD
Grated, however, if people spread TINS
conversion into goods over longer pc
riod. Upon the success Of policies de-
signed to balance the budget, to encour-
age postwar production and to retard
the conversion of savings into goods. will
depend the degree to which the basic
inflationary forces which are present Ito
the nth degree will manifest themselves.

HUGE INCREASE IN SAVINGS AC-
COUNTS.
STEADY INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF STRIKES AND WORKERS IDLE.
At this crucial period in the war, these
three conditions vitality are tied together.
If they continue there is no telling how
long the war will be prolonged, unneces-
sarily That these factors will and are
contributing to postponing the day of
victory, no one can help seeing.
If the savings accounts of the nation
are increasing in leaps and bounds and
at the very same time purchase of war
bonds is falling off to dangerous point,
why?
There is but one answer. And that is
loss of patriotic ferver. And, indeed, loss
of confidence.
One big factor in pushing forward to
win this war and win it in the shortest
time possible is a unified nation.
And today we are far from that. Even
patriotic ferver will not provide the mo-
mentum. There must be unity.
How can the public retain its patriot
ism and perform its duty when that all
out important factor, production, is out
of gear? If thousands of workers en-
trusted with turning out war products
put paIflOIlSnl III the DdCh9IOuIlu, SColll
the vital unity required, it hardly can
be expected that that condition would
not spread and the fact that purchase
of war bonds is dropping daily while
banks report the largest savings deposits
in history, it follows that the reason
plainly can be traced to the ruthless
rampant strikes and the impotency of
the administration to cope with them.
The public accepted the no strike"
pledge of the great labor groups, al
though with fingers crossed And the
people remained patriotic. They re-
sponded 100 per cent in buying bonds.
They saw their sons depart for battle
duty. All this, the people kept up after
the mo strike" pledge soon began to
mean little. Today that pledge is worth
less and what blame on the public II it
also takes "a holiday?'
But it all goes further back. This dis
graceful situation could not have come
about had the Roosevelt administration
set about honestly to work out real
labor policy at the beginning of the new
deal in 1888 instead of purchasing its
support for continuation in power.
Incidentally meeting is scheduled in
Washington in few days, big ClO lead
ers announce. But it is not to put an end
to strikes. 1t is to establish headquar-
ters and map plans to boost for fourth
term for Roosevelt.
This political war must be won, you
know.
