increased by $4 billion. The Gov
ernment's housing program re-
suited in an increase in total
mortgage loans by more than SIS
billion in the same period. Con-
sumner credit-that is, credit on
the purchase Of automobiles, re-
frigerators, and other goods, on
time, increased $31z billion. The
Government itself had deficit of
more than So billion for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1850. The
Treasury pursued general low
interest policy, encouraging the
increase of credit. In other words,
the people and the Government
were encouraged to spend SIS bill
lion more in one year than they
had to spend
After the Korean War gave an
unexpected assist to this credit
expansion policy, the Federal Re-
serve. Board reversed its stand,
but the Treasury did not follow
suit. Instead, the Treasury is still
maintaining low interest rates and
thereby making restraint of credit
almost impossible.
A gesture has been made in
the direction of cutting down
housing credit and limiting the
expansion of consumer credit,
but on the other hand the Gov
ernment deficit is likely to be
larger than ever. What the peo-
pie should realize is that the
increase i'm prices is directly due
to the infiationary policies of
the Administration.

THE only way to prevent infia-
ton is to eliminate the main
cause of imitation, namely, the Gre
alton of purchasing power in ex-
cess of production. The imposing
of price controls can check infia-
ton, but it is primarily an attempt
to prevent the results instead of
getting at the causes.
II the Administration fails now
to use the weapons which the
Government has, price controls
may ultimately be necessary. But
whether such controls can succeed
in time of peace is certainly open
to question. After the Second
World War ended we saw nothing
but shortages and black markets.
The remedy was worse than the
disease.
We cannot impose price con-
troll without wage control and
all the bureaucracy of an OPA.
And even then price control can
only delay and reduce the in
crease of prices. 1t cannot pre-
vent 1t once the causes have
been permitted to operate.
MY OWN belief is that unless
- we become engaged in Third
World War we can prevent infla-
ton by levying taxes sufficient to
pay our way as we go and by
courageously using the Govern
ment'S power to prevent the ex-
pansion of credit. Congress has
taken a step in that direction by
the Tax Increase Bill. That bill in
creases corporation taxes by 20
per cent. 1t increases individual
taxes by from IL to 10 per cent.
A complete re-appraisal of the
whole situation must be made
Immediately after the first of the
year when we can better judge
the actual expenses of the Gov
ernment necessary to meet the
Communist threat.
But in the meantime, if we
wish to avoid imitation and the
RECOMMENDATION of a new OPA,
the Government must use all
the powers it now has to pre-
vent the expansion of total
credit outstanding.

The Old Arm Chair

/ love it, l love it, and who
shall dare
To chide me for loving that ole
arm chair?
I've treasured it long as a
sainted prize,
I've bedewed it with tears, I've
embalmed it with sighs,
'Tis bound by a thousand bands
to my heart;
Not tie will break, not a link
will start;
Would you know that spell? A
mother sat there
And sacred thing is the old
arm chair.
In childhood's hour l fingered
near
The hallowed seat with listen
ing ear;
And gentle words that mother
would give
To fit me to die, and teach me
to live;
She told me that shame would
never betide
With truth for my creed, and
God for my guide;
She taught me to lisp my
earliest prayer,
AS l knelt beside that old arm
chair.
sat and watched her many a
day,
When her eyes grew dim, and
her locks were gray;
And l almost worshiped her
when she smiled,
And turned from her Bible to
bless her child;
Years rolled on, but the last
one sped
My idol was shattered, my
earth star fled,
/ learned how much the heart
can stand
When l saw her die in that old
arm chair.
'Tis past, it's past, but l gaze on
it now
With quivering breath and
throbbing brow;
Twas there she nursed me,
twas there she died,
And memory flows with the
passing tide;
Say it is folly and deem me
weak,
But | love it, l love it, and who
shall dare
To chide me for loving that old
arm chair.
The Little Plant
In the heart of a weed,
Buried deep, so deep,
A dear little plant
Lay fast asleep.

"And creep to the light"
Wake" said the voice
Of the raindrops bright.
The little plant heard,
And it rose to see
What the wonderful
Outside world might be.

MONROVIA, Lib I asked the
lebanese minister the secret of
the commercial success of his
people. He pointed to the fact that
for 1000 years, since the days Of
the Phoenicians to whom he said
they are related, Lebanese and Sy-
rians have roamed the world trad
ing. Only a small percentage of
Syrians live in Syria he said.
They are out doing business
everywhere else than the land they
claim as home. Selling and trad
ing dominate their every action,
their every thought, he declared.
Why do not Lierians follow the
same pattern? This is their
country. Why don't they dominate
the smaller business enterprises at
least?
The simple indigenous people
probably do not have knowledge
enough to start, I was told. Most
Liberians who do have training
are interested in other things.
For example, I talked with two
bright young clerks who were
working in the office of the secre-
'tary of state. They were high
school graduates. Inquiring what
they planned to follow as careers,
one said he wanted to go to the
United States for further study.
the other expected to follow the
rounds of promotion in the de-
partment where he was working.
I asked whether they did not
think there was opportunity in
business and trading.
First, they said they could not
obtain credit. They seemed to
feel that Syrian youth and white
merchants had secret methods Of
getting credit which were not
available to young Liberians.
They looked skeptical when I sug-
gested that credit could be built
up by the simple expedient of pay
ing for what one bought on time
and by consistently demonstrating
character.
Finally, however, one boy blurt-

RuiIroudsFeeIPinthA As
Negro Patronage Drops

WASHINGTON (ANP) At last,
the Negroes awakening dislike to
the separate and unequal facilities
afforded them as passengers on the
nations railroads is hitting the
carriages of iron where it hurts :
in their pockets.
Lion R. Harris, author and free
lance writer Of Illinois, writing
under the caption "The Railroads
are Losing Negro Patronage"
points out that Negroes are no
longer content to put up with
"such appalling conditions" but
prefer to utilize other methods of
travel which are less obnoxious.
The article appears in the Nov
ember issue of Railway Progress"
magazine. Harris writes:
"The Negro railroader, ever
faithful to his boss and job, has
always been the roads best busin-
ess solicitor among patrons Of his
own group Most passenger
traffic management appreciates
this patronage. 1t provides quite a
percentage of revenue.
"On southern lines, Negro pat
ronage is a 'set-apart' patronage,
confined to certain areas of the
train and terminal facilities It
is less exacting, less inpatient less
demand and less costly than the
patronage of white people. In re-
cent years it has declined and be-
come less profitable"
The drop in patronage is due
to the failure of the railroads to
correct some faults, abolish some
of the old habits and practices fol-
lowed in connection with service
to Negro patronage. -"
Harris suggests among other
things, the improvement of Jim
o equipment on passenger
trains as zone of the most essent-
