came at the end of a second Gay

During their visit they have
been told the United States should
keep its s6Oo,Oo0,000 naval base

Earlier. he said the Navy would
keep the 7th Task Fleet in Asiatic

added the Navy might make some
small additions in the Pacific and
would reorganize its forces to
keep some cruisers and at least
two aircraft carriers instead OF
one in Pacific waters.
The Observation-Disclosures state
ment did not imply a fiat rejec-
ton of recommendations made

Gently:
els it not true that if we do not pay for
the current cost of the war by taxation, and
are compelled to go to the banks to borrow
credit from them, the net result will be that
the banks will create credit upon their
books against which the government will
draw, and that the ratio of money and
credit to goods will increase, with conse-
quent rise in the price level? If that were
to happen, then, even IL we had individual
and collective price controls, they would be
frail protection against the flood of infla-
ton which would be let loose upon us.
Would that not be comparable to trying to

When Is a Tractor Old?

to gasoline power but had to be content
with re-conditioned old tractors because
there were not nearly enough new tractors
to supply the demand. Many thousands of
tractors which would otherwise have been
junked were overhauled and resold.
Another reason for the relatively long
use of tractors during this period is that
the machines became obsolete more slowly
than in the decade ending in 1880 when i'm
provements were many and rapid. There
have been continued improvements in de-
sign and performance since 1880. But these
changes have not been as radical as in the
earlier years when the industry was in its
infancy.
While present-day tractors are capable
of an even longer life of usefulness than
their predecessors because of better steel,
improved fabrication and reduction in
vibration through use of rubber tires, it is
probable that obsolescence may be a
counteracting factor.

CERIOUS initiation hurts everyone except
~ perhaps comparatively few specu-
lators who are smart enough and lucky
enough to benefit from situation where
prices of commodities and services SPIRAL
and money becomes relatively valueless.
When war economy brings the threat of
initiation something has to be done quickly
to bring things under control
While steps were taken during World
war to check rising prices, the action was
too little and too late to prevent a substan-
tial degree of initiation. The result is that
the dollar today will purchase only so per-
cent as much in goods and services as in
1882
It is probably too much to expect infla-
ton can be completely stopped in the pres
ent war effort and the permanently ex-
banded defense program. But it is encour-
aging that sound financial leadership seems
to be coming to the front on both sides of
congress and that there is a growing de-
