Hazards of lnflotion

OF course. We. don't have to fead
them. but why does The Star continue
to print the diatribeS of Thomas L.
Stokes and Lowell Mellett? They are
both die-hard adherents of the Roose-
velt-Truman team. AS most every one
knows. the Democratic prosperity OF
the past 20 years was based solely on
imitation. The national debt rose from
$50 to $500 billions. for an average in
crease OF S12 billion per year.
Any high school student of economics
can successfully run the country on
the basis of imitation: that is, the Gov
eminent spending more than it takes
in. Such an operation is the easiest
and surest way to produce prosperity
for a while. But eventually the in
flation bubble must burst with the con-
tinued printing of fiat oaper money.
and when it does, the consequences
will be much worse than 1882. This is
not conjecture, but the actual expert
ence of all countries that have tried
the imitation principle.
The United States became in $50
years the greatest nation on earth
without mourning huge national debt.
Its people were more prosperous, and
had better clothing. food and housing
than anywhere else in the world. Why
should we abandon this secure way of
life for the imitation produced pros
perity advocated or approved by Messrs
Stokes and Mellett?
