Sees 'FreeUse
Of Savings
BY LEWIS HANEY
'rofessor Of Economics, New FORK Univsrsity

Professor of Eeenemics. New rerk Univsrsity
A New York reader asks:
Don't the studies made OF
the intentions Of those who
hold the liquid assets Of the
nation, show that they will not
spend them I'm an inhationary
manner?"
Answer: There is some evidence
that peoples intention are good,
but you know the old saying TO
the effect that Hades is paved
with good intentions. As long as
people merely feel doubtful and
uncertain about the future,
think they will tend to maintain
savings" But if they become
either Cd confident and optimis-
tic, or CD begin to doubt the
purchasing power of the dollar,
they will liquidate a large part OF
their savings. feel sure. One or
the other of these two alterna-
tives is likely.
HEAVIER PURCHASES
Two points seem sure: One is
that people will tend TO go in for
instalment and time purchases OF
consumer goods on a larger scale
as a result of having these "sav-
ings." The other is that they
will use savings freely 10 build
buy, and improve homes. Both
these developments will be OFF,
sets against the present forms OF
liquid savings" They will make
the vast existing currency infa-
ton effective in prices.
Lynchburg, Va, asks:
II have the theory that cell
ings on commodities tend TO
make prices much higher than
they would normally be. Am I
correct? II prices are cut and
dried, and handed down by the
government which can only go
by statistics and not by the de-
sires OF the people, is there any
chance OF growth and improve
ment by enterprise
KEEPS PRICES UP
Answer: I think you are right
In a good many cases, and som,
very important ones, have rea
son to believe that the fixing o.
ceiling prices has encouraged anC
aided the maintenance of price.
that are higher than would have
existed without price-fxing. Prob
ably in most cases where you fine
businessmen defending price-hx
ing. they are using it to ge'
together and maintain high prices
There is strong tendency fol
people to accept a ceiling" price
(the maximum allowable) with
out question.
The worst things about price
fixing are its rigidit- and arbi
trarinesS. AS you say. IN,
government statiSticians try tC
work on the basis of average.
which may not fit any singl,
company's case. Then they figh'
all changes. These cause frozer
and unprogressive conditions.

the most beautiful cruising waters
on the Atlantic seaboard.
This will be the 10th season for
the Windjammer Fleet of Capt.
Frank Swift of Camden. There are
seven sturdy old-time Yankee mer-
chantmen in the Swift fleet, with
their holds divided into small but
shipshape cabins. The schooner
yacht Indra will sail also with the
schooner fleet. Their shippers are
old Maine sea captains who can
still lay aloft nimbly. The first
cruise will start on June 4.
A new vacation yacht feet will
also start around the first of June
to sail from its home port of Cam
den on one and two week vacation
cruises. Among the well-knoWn
yachts in this fleet, maintained as
their former owners kept them, are
the Wildfire and Gallant.
Helping aboard both of the vaca-
ton fleets is entirely voluntary, but
many of the passengers like to lend
a hand with halyard and sheet or
stand a trick at the wheel as well
as sit in the sun and salt air and
feel the ship alive and scudding
along under canvas. Each evening
the ships anchor at picturesque
island or coastal village.
