What Is a Depressiom?
By DAVE KOYAMA

President Truman warned the
people of the United States a few
weeks ago than unless certain
steps were taken now, there would
be a recession. The President
asked business men to cut prices
before they were forced to do so
through lack of sales. He asked
labor not to make excessive wage
demands which would increase
costs to the producers. He asked
farmers to increase production.
Recession" and depression"
are terms heard commonly these
days. Recession means a tenn
porary falling off in business,
while depression, as we all know.
is much more serious.
Let's get behind the economic
scenes for a moment and try to
understand the forces which are
driving United States. and Canada
toward recession.
Wartime Prosperity
During the war there was an
artificial prosperity; jobs were plen-
tiful and pay was good. But goods
were hard to get. That was be-
cause we were making war ma
terials and not consumer goods.
During this period there was a
danger that the people would bid
against one another for the scarce
commodities which would have led
to skyrocketing prices.
To guard against this initiation
danger, control measures were
passed. Price and rent ceilings
were fixed. Wages were frozen.
High taxes were imposed to de-
duce purchasing power. Scarce
basic commodities were rationed
to insure a fair distribution.
Reconversion
When the war ended, indus
tries changed over from making
war materials to consumer goods.
This was the period of reconver-
sion.
Reconversion is practically COM
pleted now but it takes time be-
fore enough goods can be produced
to meet the needs of millions OF
people who have money saved up
and are eager to buy. Neither Can
ada nor the United States could, at
this stage, afford to take off con-
trolls.
The Canadian government has
followed a policy of gradual de-
control. The plan was to wait
until any items became plentiful
and then lift or remove the price
controls on those specific items
! Price increases did take place un-
der this plan, out these price in
creases were mostly the result Of
increased costs, and not due tt
shortages.

Hurler Voted
Star of Month

LOS ANGELES, Calf. May %
Paul Kaneyuki, l8-year-old Nisei
pitcher for Point high school at
San Diego, was voted the Brett
bard Athletic Foundation star-of-
the-month award FOR April, it was
reported by the Rafu Shimpo last
week.
The Japanese American, six feet
one-inch tall and weighing 202
pounds, won baseball tournament
at Pomona recently for his school,
pitching three-hitter against
San Diego high and then beating
Whittier for the championship.
He was named the most valuable
player" in the tourney which in
Guided 400 contestants.
So far this season, Kaneyuki
has won seven games without a
defeat for Point Iona high.

US. Plan

O.S. fIan
United States, however. did not
wait as long as Canada. Controls
came off last year before goods
had become plentiful enough. This
course was taken chiefly because
of the demand of manufacturers
who argued as follows: if con-
trolls are removed prices land
profits would increase and the
producers will then have an In
centive to produce more, and the
increased production would then
catch up with the demands and
force prices down to the proper
level through competition; on the
other hand, If prices and profits
are kept down by controls, pro-
duction would be slow because of
the lack of incentive.
But the theory didn't work out
that way in practice. Production
increased as predicted, but prices,
after a period of fluctuations, stay
ed up and showed no signs of COM
ing down.
What were the reasons2 There
were several. Strikes had held up
the production of certain basic
commodities. Urgent demand for
export kept the agricultural prices
from coming down. Domestic con-
sumers kept buying in spite of the
increasing prices, and producers
found it unnecessary to cut prices
even though profits were mounting.
The Warning
But prices cannot remain as high
as they are indefinitely. Produc-
ton is still increasing, but people
cannot buy as much as before be-
cause of the high prices. When
the buying slows up and stocks be-
gin piling up in the stores, recess
sion will have started. The only
way to prevent it is to lower prices
before buying slows down.
The United States President
warned
There IS one sure formula for
bringing on a recession or de-
preston. That is TO maintain ex-
cessively high prices. Buying
stops; production drops; unem-
ploymnt sets in; prices collapse;
profits vanish; businessmen fail"
The feeling is that the warning
has come too late, that the Presi-
dent should have acted sooner.
Businessmen usually don't lower
prices until they are forced to
through falling sales. Experts pre-
dict that a temporary and partial
business slump is inevitable in the
United States. 1t is expected to
show itself in the next few months,
and last for about nine months;
but it will not reach the scope of
q denressiOr1
