brimful employment, supported by
governmental policies aimed at elimi-
mating even minor fluctuations in
output and employment. This ap-
proach would not only be inherently
inflationary, but would be unrealistic
and self-defeating as we'll.
All economic groups-including
bankers as we'll as business men, la
Dor leaders, and individuals-have
important responsibilities in this re-
gard. Official endorsement of the OBJ
jective of price-level stability would
serve to remind these groups of their
responsibilities and would encourage
self-restraint on their part. 1t would
also exert dampening effect upon
the inflationary expectations of the
public. Finally, it would set con-
structive example for other countries
in whose economic health we are pro-
foundly interested.
ANGLE OF INTERPRETATION
Of course, his statement must be
interpreted in the light of the fear of
bankers and industrialists concerning
the rising power of labor to obtain
higher wages and salaries. Despite the
recession, average weekly wages in
industries rose from
$82.99 in September 1857 to $85.17
last month, according to the Depart
ment of Labor. This compares with
an average weekly wage of $54.14
10 years ago.
1t is primarily the higher income of
employed persons that has maintained
spending power during the recession.
During the third quarter of this year
personal income reached
an all time peak-an annual rate of
S357.5 billion, as compared with
S347.9 billion in 1857, and $210.4 |
billion 10 years ago.
The effort of conservative economic
factions, of course will be to blame

The counter charge will be that ad-

ministered prices by monopolistic cor
porations is the primary cause. Just
as soon as legislation is introduced to
make stable prices primary objec-
tive of national economic policy by
amending the Employment Act, a
companion amendment will be placed
in the hopper by the liberal legisla-
tive forces. 1t will blame initiation pri-
marily upon administered prices
dictated by monopolistic corporations,
and call for vigorous and realistic en-
forcement of the antitrust laws.
There will also be large crop of
additional legislation designed to
stimulate greater price competition
among the giants of industry and
trade. This will be fairly safe for the
large industrial interests with strong
representation within the Democratic
Party as long as the ultra-conserva-
tive elements within the party main
tain balance of power in Congress,
especially in the House of Representa-
tives, and a conservative administra-
ton remains in the White House.
SOCIAL ISSUE MAY BE KEY
The danger to conservative inter
ests. will arise, if the liberals within
the Democratic party support recent
statements of Paul M. Butler. chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee, on the racial problem. He
thinks it is time that Democrats who
would deny equal justice to all citi-
zens and refuse to obey the laws as
by the Supreme Court
take walk out of the Democratic
party.
If Butler made this declaration
with the support of liberal leaders
within the party it means real trouble
ahead. If the liberal support is strong
enough to drive the reactionaries out
Of the Democratic party, the brakes
would be taken off of liberal legisla-
ion. Antitrust prosecution might pro-
,eed with new effectiveness. Admin
stored prices might be broken.
Thus, it is seen that more than civil
lights hinges upon a solution of the
'acial problem. Reactionary social
attitudes are closely related to. re-
dictionary economic policies more
'ften than not.
1t may actually be easier to bring
bout change in attitudes toward
acial problems than economic prob
ems. And this may be the key to un-
ocking the forces of economic prog
ess. ..$I
Thus, it can easily be seen that
here is more direct relationship be-

The people's voice., 1958-11-14

But some of the West observers ex-
pect little action, if any, that will put
a serious crimp in the upward march
of consumer prices.
The opening gun, apparently di-
rected largely against rising wage
rates, has been fired by the American
Bankers Association (ABA). 1t would
amend the Employment Act of 1916,
which it calls "our basic guide to ma
tional economic policy. This act
pledges the governments efforts ''to
promote maximum employment, pro-
duction, and purchasing power. The
act established the Council of Eco
nomic Advisers to the President and
the Joint Economic Committee of
Congress to monitor economic condi-
tions, and advises the nation as to how
to bring about the detectives of the
act.
BANKERS OPEN FIRE
The Economic Policy Commission
of the ABA calls attention to the fact
that the act does not include "gen-
eral price stability" in it's objectives,
which it says "leaves it open to inter
probation that avoidance of initiation
may be less important than the main
tenance of high levels of output and
employment.
AS matter of fact, a good many
economists do think that high levels
of output and employment are more
than "sound money, mean
ing stable prices, as long as there is
enough money to buy and distribute
widely all that can be produced. These
economists generally see in such a
condition an inherent tendency
toward initiation, but believes it's eff
fects can be offset by a controlled
increase in the money supply.
The ABA economists hold that this
