Initiation Threat Will Become Dread Reality If
Everyone Sqamb|es for Excessive Profits and WAGES
Only Controls of OPA

Prices During War.
BY WALTER A. SHEAD
VNU STAFF Correspondent

DEng the war years, il we be-
came peeved with rationing and
price eootrol il was the national hab-
It % es,ss OPA. During recover
sjon, people, from the captains of
industry on down the line and into
the ranks Of congress, blame many
Of or Ills on OPA.
There have been ridiculous and oft
time funny jokes cracked about the
OPA and the controls instituted for
tho protection Of the American peo-
PIE. And, as Is the case in any hui
maa hstitution, the OPA has made
mistakes, errors Of judgment.
Congress has been deluged with
letters from constituents, business
meA and consumers, concerning
real Or fancied ills and discrimina-
tons which were laid at the door Of
tie Odice Of Price Administration.
And songressmen, being human too,
Let The blame rest on OPA, passing
The back along. But despite all this
criticism, despite verbal beatings
which tore 10 shreds the actions and
poAcies Of OPA, congress dared not
eliminate the agency, despite strong
pressure, and by an overwhelming
majority voted to continue OPA and
the price control policy until next
June. And every poll taken Of the
American people showed, despite
their beefngs, their sound COM
mon sense prevailed and rs out of
every 100 people favor continuing
pE3ce controls for at least some
months 10 come.
Only IN recent weeks various
groups L trade and industry have
been Increasing pressure In calling
fer IN end Of price controls, particu-
larry in the building and housing in
dust1y, prefefring to let prices find
their own level.
Az . matter Of fact and record,
had Il not been for the OPA and the
policies Of rationing and price con-
trol, The American people would
never have been in the favorable
positina they are in today to face
whatever may come In these months

Hies controls have held the line
against imitation and rationing con-
tfols have seen this country the best

Most folks don't understand infla-
tioa and what 1t means, but most
people do understand and resent and

accompanied or followed by a ma
joe imitation, followed by deflation Of
equal proportions.
Rise Held to - Per Cent.
And for the first time in our ma
lions history, thanks to OPA, the
cost Of living, during and immedi-
atelI following this war, has been
held fairly steady. From the out
break Of the war to the end Of 1914,
living costs, as measured by the bu-
resu Of labor statistics, rose less
than - per cent, and most of that
rise came before May, 1913, when
teeth were inserted into the price
sterilization program. By COMPARE
son, living costs rose more than "a
Per cent in . like period after the
outbreak Of the First World war
when there was no rationing or
pface control. Labor unions declare
The rise In the cost Of living has in
creased more than - per cent,

III Million Farms Lost.
Imitation during and following the
last war lost to the farmers Of this
country approximately q million
and half farms, Why7 Because
prosperous farmers during the war
invested their money In land at in
dated prices. They went into debt
for machinery, for homes, barns
and other commodities at inflated
prices. Then the purchasing power
Of the dollar changed and the defia-
ton which followed the inflated val
ues brought about the inevitable
crash.

ness practices and he has become
the rock upon which the pressure

effort to break price control.
Chester Bowles has taken his
stand against price imitation and for
price control, because his Office Is

which people view imitation or high

that the general level Of price
fuctuation remains steady.
Farming has become one Of these
specialized industries, relatively,
and great many Of the things used
on the farm and In the farm home
are purchased. Too, many farm in
vestments and obligations incident
to the farm business are long term
obligations, and so the behavior of
the price level means much to farm
ers. For instance, I was talking to
a Pennsylvania dairy farmer in
Washington recently. He lives in
the potato country Of Pennsylvania
and when I asked him how his potato
crop was he said:
well, I didn't plant any. I figured
my business is dairying and I let
the potato farmers raise potatoes.
What is inflation7 There are many
long and technical answers to that
question. But about the simplest
answer this writer can find is that
1t Is a situation which creates an
unfair change in the purchasing pow
er Of money.
For instance, a farmer who Dor
rowed some money in 1918 could
have taken IS Of that borrowed mon
ey and bought 40 pounds of meat,
Isl pounds of -four, 81 pounds Of su-
gar or n yards Of gingham. II
he paid back that loan in 1920 dur

could have taken the same S. and

Red Army
Strong Factor

The assumption on the part Of
some observers is that with the as
cendancy Of the Red army element,
not only the isolationists, but the
Communist party as . whole, lost
influence. There has always been
jealousy between the two, though, Of
course. their membership overlaps
in many cases. You will recall that
at the beginning of the war civilian
commissars were attached to army
units and they censored all orders
issued by the officers. This proved
to be not only highly unpopular
with the military, but also impracti-
cal. The civilian commissars were
then withdrawn and only those with
military training were appointed.
Their authority, in effect at least,
became merged with that Of the
military.
Now the high army officers are
recognized as occupying virtually
the same plane as the high party
officials.
Just where Stain stands as a re-
suit of this change in the fabric Of
Russian national policy it is impos-
sible to say. It has been rumored
that he has relinquished his function
as commander-in-chief. It has also
been rumored that he is ready to
drop out Of the picture completely
and choose successor. In that con-
nection 1t was limited that General
Zhukov, Russia's Eisenhower, was
afflicted with a diplomatic illness
when he suddenly gave up q widely
advertised trip to the United States,
which it was said he had looked for
ward to with considerable zest.
This might have been a signal that
Russia was drawing further within
herself.
Some believe that it indicated that
Zhukov was the chosen successor OF
Stain and that, until a new regime
was firmly established, the Soviets
would maintain q negative policy In
foreign relations.
In any case, 1t is clear that the
RUSSIA objects" policy was inaugu-
rated for some reason and naturally,
since In the past Stain had always
bCCh VIC OA4S WIZ "dS dOlG 70 day
ball with the Allies. At least to the
point where progress seemed to be
made toward working agreements,
Washington is by no means anxious
to see him fade from the picture.
Meanwhile, the one hopeful view
which Is being taken Of the Russian
situation is that it may be that there
l. soy,,A kind - , ch,nu> <uL;-.
place within Russia and that the
present policy Of stalling means
nothing worse than . necessary
marking time on the part Of the So
Wet leaders until the outcome ID
settled.
And then there Is always another
reason which pops up as an explana.
ton Of almost anything these days

to assume that It Il true: In brief,
there was q split In the an-powerful
"Polit- Bureau" Of the Soviets. The
Political Bureau Is . small body
chosen from the central committee
Of the Communist party, which is the
governments policy-forming entity.
This body is composed Of powerful
Soviet leaders and It exerts a great
deal Of influence.
According to the reports touching
on Litvinov's position, the Polit-Bu-
reau was sharply divided into "isola-
tionists" and those who looked upon
the rest Of the world with a less
jaundiced view. At that time Stain
was said to be walking q tight-rope
between the two and choosing care
fully toward which side he would
lean. Litvinov, who believed that
Russia could not live by herself and
who had always encouraged a SYM
pathetic attitude toward the outside
world, had been completely shelved
for his ideas.
Little more was heard Of these
rumblings until after the end Of the
war, when the Red army became
the symbol Of Russian salvation.
Then it appeared that the isolation
list Russia. the big-army Russia, the
Russia which wouldn't take anything
of anybody, had q new and power
full backer-the officers (and per-
haps some Of the rank and file a
well) Of the Red army.
In any case, we know that the high
officers Of the army received all
sorts Of perquisites, rewards and
privileges, which only the highest Of
the high receive.

this no vote" attitude OF number
Of the Soviet leaders who opposed
what many have considered too
deep ENHANCEMENT in international
affairs, which has been In evidence
for long time, finally wrecked the
Foreign Ministers conference.
As early as the time of the San
Francisco meeting there were hints
Of q growing 'isolationist" opposi-
ton inside Russia. Word reached
certain members Of the conference
by q roundabout way, but from q
thoroughly reliable source, concern
ing the status Of former Foreign
Minister Litvinov. Russia's crack
diplomat, who negotiated the re-
sumption Of relations with the Unit
ed States after, the long hiatus fol-
lowing World War I. At one time It
was reported that Litvinov had been
purged. This was not 50. But what
had happened was that the Russia
objects" element had managed to
shelve him because Of his more lib
eral views.
This apparently was the beginning
of what many called palace revo-
lution," and which some people be.
lieve is now flaring up into full
flame.
The story of the events which led
up to the Litvinov affair has never
been confirmed, but It Is reasonable
