Prices Must Drop

The announcement by the Inter
national Harvester Company OF its
plans for a price cut is important,
not 80 much because it will save
the company's customers $40, GOO 900
in the coming year, but because it
Is indicative of an attitude which
must be generally adopted by in
dustry If this country is to escape
another economic collapse.
It Is essential that prices come
down. But before this can come to
pass two things must happen. First,
labor will have to abandon excessive
wage demands. And second, industry
must resist the temptation 70 realize
excessive profits. There has been a
considerable airing of the labor side
of this equation, and no doubt more
will be heard of this later. But
industry's end, and industry's re-
sponsibility, have not received
enough consideration.
It is because Of an awareness
that industry, no less tnan laDof,
can wreck our economy that Inter
national Harvester, following the
January example Of the Ford Motor
Company, is cutting prices despite
the fact that there is every promise
\ that we can sell everything we can
make this year and next at present
prices AS Fowler Mccormick, In
ternational's board chairman puts
1t, all industry has been caught in
a vicious circle" of progressively
rising prices, profits and wages. If
this is to be checked some one has
TO set an example of self-restraint,
and the real Importance of Inter-
national Harvester's price-cut an
nouncement lies in the fact that it
constitutes such an example.
