HeIpinq With Price Problem

A short time ago the United Press carried an item
with a Chicago dateline telling housewives how they
could do something tangible about beating high food
prices. The idea was for the shopper to take advantage of
seasonal changes in food supplies, and to select moder-
ately-priced foods which are as tasty and nutritional as
their higher-priced cousins.
What made this especially interesting is that the
information didn't originate with a consumer organic
alton. Instead, it came from a spokesman for the National
Association of Retail Grocers and other industry experts.
Here is additional proof of the fact that retailers,
like all the rest of us, are aggressively interested in help
ing with the price problem. That goes for retailers in all
lines as we'll as food-and it goes for the chains and the
independents and all types of stores. The typical retailer,
contrary to a more or less common misconception, is not
hell-bent on selling the most expensive commodities, or in
making the greatest possible profit out of them. He
knows perfectly we'll that this sort of policy would drive
more and more people out of the market, reduce the buy
ing of millions to a subsistence level-and so, in the long
run, hurt the retailer along with everyone else.
Retailing in this country, like production, is based
on the mass principle-big turnover at a small unit
profit. In retailing that principle has worked out to the
great advantage Of all concerned. And that's why re-
failing is vitality concerned with nflation-and why it is
doing what it can to fight it.

Your %InfIution!

Life magazine recently published one of the best
editorials on initiation which has yet appeared. 1t dealt
with the Administrations cheap money policy which
has made higher prices and deprecated currency newt
able. At the end it said, "The vast maze of Federal lend
ing agencies which together make the u. S. Government
the biggest source Of private credit are going right ahead
with loan policies which also stimulate initiation and fur
Their shave your dollar. Spokesman for such respected
groups as the Twentieth Century Fund and the Committee
for Economic Development cry at the top of their voices
that insanities of this sort may draw the country into an
extreme initiation that could be avoided. All the Charles
Wilson's, Eric Johnstons and Michael DiSalles in Wash
ington cannot prevent or cure this initiation with price,
wage and commodity controls if the root fiscal causes of
initiation are not only unchecked but actually encouraged.
cts your money. It's your initiation. Better speak
up, while three cents still pays the postage on a letter to
Washington" Send it to your Congressman, today!
Largely due to ~high-level political Establishments,
millions of people have placed a wholly ~unjustified faith
in the power Of arbitrary controls to stop price rises, and
even to roll prices back to the levels Of the first of the
year, or pre-Korea or some other arbitrary date. At the
same time, millions Of people have been led to place the
blame for initiation on doorsteps which are wholly or
largely innocent. We blame the roducer-forgetting that
his dollar has cheapcned just as ours has, and that his
costs are swollen. We even blame the retailer with whom
we do our dayto-day trading-despite the obvious fact
that he must pay the going wholesale rate for his goods,
and that his prices to us are simply based on current costs.
In other words, the emphasis has not been on the
causes of initiation, but on the symptoms of initiation
which are high prices and a fifty-cent dollar. The govern
ment has steadily evaded taking the only actions which
can block initiation, and it has gone steadily ahead with
policies in the field of money and credit which are in
flationary. That is an economic crime against a misled
people.
