FAREWELL TO KEYNES

This would entail saying fare
well to the ideologies of Lord John
Maynard Keynes, now in Wash

would also mean turning our back
on the advice given by Keynes
American adherents, such as Prof
Alvin II. Hansen. Harvard econo-
mist.
The time has come to think In
terms of fundamental factors. The
occasion is opportune for stopping

greatly reducing and then ellmi-
mating federal deficits.

Gated by the inherently initiation
ary fiscal policies of the federal
government.
Already the combination of will
full deficit financing and necessi-
tous wartime deficits are coming
home TO plague us.
The attitude of workers. which
has resulted in a furry OF strikes,
represents in part subconscious
uncertainty as TO the meaning of
money under present and prospec-
tive conditions.
AS long as the inf1ationary
process continues, it cannot be
argued that such apprehensions
are entirely fanciful.
The entire economic atmosphere
would be improved by clarifying

ment.
