esting and curious when the ar

pared to factual events that fol-
lowed the killing of controls.
We quote from one ad that was
published in the Chronicle -Ad-
vertiser, Feb. %. l946:
Let's tackle initiation while
we can.
you don't want your dollars
to buy less and less and lessl
"You don't want your savings
TO melt away! Or the value of
your life insurance TO dwindle.
yet that is what initiation
can do to all OF US. Therefore,
thoughtful people everywhere
are concerned with the ways to
smother 1t before it gets out Of
hand
isn't this the answer?
Remove price controls on
manufactured goods and pro-
duction will step up fast.
Goods will then pour into
the market and, within reas-
enable time, prices will adjust
themselves naturally--as they
always have--in line with the
real worth of things.
