DECLINING INCOMES
 (NeW York TimeS)

nave already resulted m decline Tn con- sumner purchasing power, decline which will become much larger in the months ahead. It is important that we eValuate these declines in their proper perspective. The wartime pressure for price increases has arisen fundamentally from the large expansion of consumer purchasing power, financed in part by bank credit. Because of wartime needs, it has not been possible to expand civil ian supplies to meet this demand. Not until consumer incomes and civilian sup plies come back into balance will there be a significant abatement of the pres sure for price increases. It is rather par adoxical, therefore, to find Judge Fred M. Vinson stating that in the immediatee future "our task continues to be one of holding the line without, however, per uniting a deflationary drop in purchas- ing power"
 clines in purchasing power will be de- flationary. Clearly, if excess purchasing power is eliminated, the pressure on prices will be reduced and the task of holding the line will be considerably simplified. Such a decrease is not prop erly described as deflationary. lf on the other hand, measures are adopted to maintain the wartime volume of pur- chasing power, then it follows that the problem of holding the line will continue to be difficult one.
 Some groups are insisting that the highly abnormal purchasing power situ- ation during the war must be substan- tially maintained by permitting upward adjustments which will offset factors making for reduction. In other words, we have had an abnormal situation so long that some people are beginning to believe that this is now the normal one and that any change would be misfor- tune. A drop in consumer purchasing an unhealthy, development, particular ly to the extent that such decline repre- Sented reduction in the amount of new credit created by the banking system. There is no merit in having large num- Der of pieces of paper (money), all of which cannot be converted into goods at the existing price level.
 Of course, if purchasing power were to fall too far because of an unduly large reduction in incomes, then downward spiral might be inaugurated. But not all reductions would have this effect. It is a mistake, therefore, to label all decreases in incomes as deflationary, particularly so long as the result will wipe out the present dangerous excess. Such prac- tice can only confuse the public mind and lead to the adoption of ill-advised poli- cieS
