Initiation Pinches
Most Of Europe
Governments Fail to Halt
Rising Prices Through
Strict Control.

WASHINGTON.-In the markets
where it takes a lot more money
than most people have to buy the
things they need, the drachma OF
Greece, the zloty Of Finland, the
franc, the pound and all the cur
rencies of Europe today are only
shadows of their former selves.
Infationary pressures are pinch
ing almost all of the continent. In
most countries the governments
have been fighting losing battle
against rising prices despite efforts
at strict control.
With few notable exceptions,
newspaper correspondents through
out Europe report the same situa-
ton: Too much money chasing too
few goods-and mostly it is case
of too few goods, a legacy of years
of Notwithstanding war.
Russia, using device already
employed in Hungary, France.
italy, Austria and other countries,
resorted to the drastic measure of
revaluing the currency by requir-
ing all rubles in cash to be turned
in at rate of 10 old rubles for one
of the new The result has been a
drastic curtailment of money in cir
culation. There was somewhat
less drastic curtailment Of bank
accounts and outstanding bonds.
Russia Takes Action.
BY simultaneously decreeing a
broad reduction in prices and by
maintaining the same wages as be-
fore in her controlled economy,
Russia effected an almost immedi-
ate drop in food End many other
prices.
Drastic wrenchings Of postwar
economies also were reported from
other countries in the Soviet sphere.
Romania decreed heavy taxation
to reduce the amount of money in
circulation and bring it nearer the
realistic level of industrial and agrl-
cultural production. Living costs,
although still high, plunged sharply.
Czechoslovakia, plagued by ex-
treme food and clothing shortages,
levied heavy new taxes to halt in
flationary buying and help pay the
mounting national debt-up nearly
$500, 900 in a year.
Italy's budget car, Luigi Einaudi,
was probably the only government
financier in all Europe worrying
about defation.
Got Quick Action.
Einaudi's rigid credit restrictions
to curb speculation and his devalua-
ton Of the lire to the black market
rate, have at least temporarily
brought swollen security prices
down, stabilized the currency and
lowered the cost of living.
Dehation rather than imitation
also was the order of the day in
occupied Austria.
In Britain even the cost OF postage
went up because, the government
explained, operating expenses have
increased. Despite government con-
trolls, coal, Transportation and milk
prices were edging higher. Purchase
taxes, already steep, have been in
creased sharply to drain off some
excess purchasing power.

At the close of the 10Th century,
when kings and princes were ruling
most of the world pretty much as
they pleased, and even republics like
Genoa were governed exclusively by
mobiles, Jesuit scholar of Spain
spoke his mind. He said the people
were supreme, and king ruled only
by their mandate, which could be
revoked If he betrayed their conf
dence.
Juan de Mariana wrote that in a
work of three volumes published in
Spain in 1599-with the approval OF
King Philip Ill That King was not

wrote that a kings power stemmed
from the people, but added that If
he oppressed the people, turned into

measures were to be taken only if
the king violated the laws of the

Whaling Thrills
WHALE HUNT

w
BY Nelson Cole Haley. (Iues
Wdshburn, $450J
Nearly 100 years ago, when the
New England whaling industry was
at its height, and Herman Melville
was setting down his experiences in
the South Pacific in the form of a
novel called "Moby Dick" 17-year-
old whaler named Nelson Cole Haley
was on a four-year voyage. Haley
wrote an account of this adventur-
Gus, peril-streWn trip to the Pacific
aboard the Charles w. Morgan. The
manuscript lay all these years in the
family archives of his descendants.
At last it is published and it makes
a thrilling story. Haley's narrative
of the voyage that lasted from l849
to 1853 is a straightaway descrip-
ton of his experiences, with none
of the metaphysical excursions OF
the Melville classic and it is as clear
picture of whaling as you'll find.
Later Haley was mate, finally cap
tain of whaling ships. Today the
still-stanch Charles w. Morgan Is
moored beside the Marine Museum
at Mystic, Conn, and Haley's manu-
script may be seen in the museum.
