Last fall most federal econom-
lists thought all those movements
would smack into the economy at
once. Prices and business activity,
they felt, would rise to sharp
peak, then sag suddenly.
That is approximately what hap
pened in 1888. Optimistic business
men were piling up inventories at
rising prices and expected to sell
at still higher prices. Then came
two blows at the public buying

movement has been slower than
expected. that inventory accumu-

before the consumer shifts his buy

those events will not coincide: that
consumer income is holding up
better than expected; that buying
power has been conserved because
the goods weren't available to buy.

 Ives comment followed a report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics placing wholesale prices of food and farm products at the highest level in history although wholesale prices for the entire list of 900 commodities covered by the survey stin were 5.9 per cent below the record set in 1920.
 At the same time, Senator Elmer Thomas tD.-Okla) reiterated his contention that this country may have to put up with Initiation" if it is going to pay off the national debt and meet other costs of government.

M0RGENTHAU TAKES SWAT AT WALLACE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 = P- Henry Morgenthau, Jr., former Sec retary of the Treasury, said today Henry A. Wallace passed out 50 much money during the New Deals big spending days that Morgenthau once told the then Secretary of Ag- riculture he was getting away with murder
 Morgenthau declared w all a c e spent more and got less for it dur ing the 1934-1937 period than Harry Hopkins and Harold L. Ickes, who directed huge outlays as directors of Federal Relief and Federal Works programs.
 "Wallaces whole theory of Spend- ing in order to reduce agricultural production always seemed nonsense to me- the New Yorker wrote in the first of six articles for Golfers deal ing with his Cabinet job under Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Morgenthau described the late Hopkins as the best" of the New Deal spenders because he got money into circulation quickly for pump priming purposes and gave destitute people work.
 Ickes, he said. was so anxious to keep graft and politics out of the Public Works program that he prac- tically spent money through a medi- cine dropper" Ickes' slowness in making decisions was sometimes q real handicap" Morgenthau added
