SPECTATORS run wild as Congress stalls on controls

because Congress refuses to inn
pose effective controls. And
every new advance of the in
flationary spiral makes it in
creasingly more difficult to
clamp down on prices and roll
them back to lower levels.
The fight against initiation
will be lost by default if Con-
gress does not enact real
anti-inflation program at once.
Actually, there is no reason
for any prolonged debate on
the issue. No one denies the
gravity of the initiation threat.
And the experience of the war
economy conclusively proves
that inflationary price rises
cannot be halted by half-mea-
sures or voluntary actions.
THE HEART of a real anti
initiation program is price con-
troll at all levels of production
and distribution.
Selective controls won't work
since the. economy cannot re-
main half controlled and half
uncontrolled. Even a general

20 per cent. The purchasing
power of the prewar dollar has
shrunk to less than so cents.
This so cent dollar is still
shrinking as prices continue to
soar. Food prices are rising at
an annual rate of 80 per cent
and rents IL per cent. The cost
of living is going up at the rate
of Is per cent year.
In the face of these ominous
developments, con G ressional
stalling is actively promoting
initiation. Speculative stockpil-
ing in anticipation of further
price increases has been re-
sumed. New price rises are
being announced in shoes,
clothing, furniture and house
furnishings.
Initiation is being given an
other whirl in the belief that
next year shortages will null
tip1y as combined domestic and
foreign demand outstrips the
total available supply of food,
goods and services.

SPECULATION and profit
eering are running rampant
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-12-13

price freeze won't do the job
since prices are so far out of
line today. Along with price
control, prices must be rolled
back to the levels of mid-1946
by using consumer subsidy pro-
grams.
Price control without ration
ing will only bring about gi-
gantic black markets. Ration
ing of scarce foods is needed
to assure fair distribution of
what is available at lower pric-
es. ALLEGATIONS are required at
the producer and distributor
level to prevent supplies from
being diverted to nom essential
uses.
Effective rent control is also
required because under the
present unavoidable law a ma
jor rem initiation is in the
making. Price and rent control
go together and both are need
ed to protect the living stand
ards of the American people.
TRUMAN'S recommendations

In its battles to break the poll
tax, to end lynching, to give legal
aid to progressive trade unionists
now facing deportation and those
who have stood firm against the
attempts of the Un-American
committee to control American
thought, the Civil Rights Con-
gress is doing no less than would
be expected of an organization
sponsored by Lovett.
LOVETT himself recently scored
victory over the ISLANDERS of the
Dies - now the Un-American--
committee. AS liberal and popu-
lar Secretary Governor of the
Virgin Islands, Eovett was de-
prived of his salary after an at
tack by the Dies committee.
Harold Ickes, then Secretary of
the Interior, took Lovett's case to
the Supreme Court, and last year
that court declared the salary de-
privation unconstitutional.
Robert Morss Lovett, legendary
professor of English literature,
will always be fighting for pro-
gress, especially when the going's
tough-as it is now.
AND SO we have seen, and
talked with, and taken apart

of what is required in the way
of an effective anti-inflation
program. His proposals must
be strengthened along the lines
indicated here if the initiation
threat is to be overcome.
In particular, the anti-infla-
ton program must be tied in
with an excess profits tax.
Profiteering has been the driv-
ing force behind initiation. The
inflationary price rises won't
be stopped until profiteering is
curbed and excessive profits
are taxed away by the govern
ment.
Labor must put the heat on
Congress to stop stalling and
take effective action against
initiation. 1t must be on the
lookout against attempts to
link a wage freeze with partial
price controls.
A general increase in wages
is needed to put purchasing
power in better balance with
prices. A profit freeze and not
a wage freeze is required TO
combat initiation.
