PRODUCTION SPEED.
INITIATION ANSWER
Many Vital Factors In
fluence Inflationary
Price Tendencies
BY Cambridge Associates

Imitation is one of those scare
words. 1t means many things to
people but the majority of
us in the United States define and
it in terms of what we
have to pay over the counter in
exchange for groceries. clothes,
automobiles and all the other ele-
ments going to make up our
American standard of living.
On the financial pages, initiation
is a compound of money in circu-
]ation, bank deposits and govern
ment deficits plus a strong dose of
ballish psychology, but to the
housewife initiation means the high
cost of living. Naturally, she is
worried - so per cent increase
in food prices since 1899 is hardly
something to make for complacen-
cy - particularly among those
whose incomes have not moved up
during the war.
Important Force
Despite all the worry in high
places and low, there is an impor.
tant' force working in favor of the
consumer in the matter of prices.
By all odds the most important as
,surance against initiation is the
enormous productive capacity o1
this nations factories and farms
High prices cannot long exist in
the presence of large quantities Of
goods and services either in exis-
.tence or soon to become available.
The duration of strikes is limited
by thefability of the strikers to &c
without earnings, - a time comes
when the strikers wife says what
do we eat for Sundays dinner -
Nor can industry stop producing
for any long period of time
simply because it wants more
money for its products. Nor can
the farmer hold off his harvest
from the market indefinitely -
most of it is perishable or eats
itself up in feeding costs or stor-
age charges.
Such temporary phenomena as
these are creating an illusion Ct
scarcity in the minds of both pro-
ducers and consumers. 1t leads the
producers to ask all they can gel
and the consumer to buy avidly
lest the price rise even higher.
IntangibIes
: Perhaps this psychological fac
tor will make for an additional 8
to 10 per cent increase in the cost
of living until peacetime industry
is once more going full swing, but
it will soon pass. - as did the
fH.C.L. of 1919-1920.

city for war was the wonder OF
the world, the savior of our allies,
and the destroyer of our enemies,

Experience In Other Cities
Prompts Optimism,
SAYS Farrell
BY JOHN HI. FARRELL
Secret$yy

Wilmington Chamber OF Commerce
Wilmington has a most roman
tic and enviable history. And from
my experience in other sections of
the county, Wilmington has an op-
portunity for great progress be-
cause other sections have maintain
ed fast rates of progress with much
less equipment than this city has
at its disposal.
Now that the war is over and
we are in the midst of the slow
process of reconversion, we have
big job ahead of us. 1t will always
be the desire of the Chamber OF
Commerce to cooperate with local
and state government agencies
civic crops and Individual citizens.
If we all pull together, our com.
munity will have a golden oppor.
tunity to grow and prosper.

Initiation

should hardly underrate its own
capacity to produce for peace.
Initiation
China, Italy, France, Germany
are now in the throes of real in
flation - money is a nuisance-a
cigarette is priceless asset.
Why? Because there is either no
capacity to produce, as in China,
or it has been Aopessly wrecked
in all-out warfare-as in Europe.
Within the continental United
States, each family shares ma
ture's bounty with about three
hogs, two beef cattle, one dairy
COW and unnumbered chickens. 1t
is a little hard to visualize any
great lack of meat or vastly high
er meat prices under those condi-
tions.
Price Trend
AS for the prices of most fabri-
Gated products, goods suscep-
tible to mass production and the
machine process-the long term
trend of prices is still downward
and will remain so as long as busi-
ness ingenuity can devise techni-
ques to make two or more units
Of product in the same time that
only one was made before, and
very often make it better.
Probably the housewife has seen
the worst of the rise in the cost
of living. 1t seems certain that
further price increases will not be
the rule once production gets into
high gear. Then, maybe our big
worry will be deflation and not in
flation of prices.

Munich Farley Blow
To Hitler Opponents,
Schacht Testifies.
BY the Associated Press

NUREMBERG, May 2.-HJalmar
Schacht told the International Mill
tary Tribunal today that Britain
and France at the Munich Confer
ence in 1888 handed Hitler on a
silver platter more concessions than
he ever expected to get'' and thereby
dealt a blow to anti-Nazis in Ger
many.
"At Munich" said Schacht, on the
witness stand in his own defense
for the third day, Hitler tried only
to get autonomy for Germans in
Czechoslovakia. But the Allies
handed him the Sudeten territories,
more than he ever expected to get,
on silver platter.
This success strengthened Hit
ler's popularity and weakened the
chances of removing him"
Denies He Knew Hitler Plans.
The former German economics
minister contended that he had no
prior knowledge Of Hitlers plans to
invade Czechoslovakia, Norway
Denmark, Poland or Russia.
He said an emissary from Gen.
Franz Halder, chief of the German
general staff, told him shortly in
advance of the plans to violate Bel
gium. He said he protested in vain.
He testified that he refused re-
peatedly to cooperate in any of
these Nazi conquests.
Schacht, former Reichsbank presi-
dent and minister of economics, is
on trial with % other ranking Ger
mans on war crimes charges.
He asserted that after he was re-
moved as president of the Reichs-
bank in 1899, he devoted his efforts
to preventing war. After his dis
missal as a minister without port
folio in January, 1943, my only
political activity was devoted to ef-
forts to remove Hitler" he swore.
Tells of Anti-Hitler Plots.
He told of plotting with generals
who opposed Hitler and of frequent
contacts with prominent Ameri-
cans, Englishmen, Frenchmen and
neutrals" aimed at seeking peace.
Much of this ground had been COW
cred by a previous witness, DR.. Hans
Gisevius, who had identified Schacht
as participant in various plots.
The defendant said his personal
fortune never was increased under
the Nazis and "the only present I
ever received from Hitler was
painting for my Goth birthday"
The painting turned out to be
forgery and was practically worth
less" Schacht said. ''I sent it back. %
