The American WAY

EDITORS NOTE: Alfred p.
Haake PHI D., is a noted econom-
list, public relations consultant,
author and lecturer
Initiation, sometimes called the
nations number one problem or
enemy, is undoubtedly one OF the
most important and difficult Of
our problems. It's Importance rises
out Of the many directions and
ways in which initiation affects our
life, its serious consequences on
our national well-being. II is an
insidious and dangerous enemy
It is difficult because so few of
us really understand what it is
and how it works. For many peo-
pie, il is possible actually to advo-
cate initiation under the very guise
of fighting against it.
Some think Of ii as merely
"high-prices" and think we need
only to control prices in order to
control initiation. Others think OF
it as the issue of paper money by
government. Still others see it
when the U. S. Treasury Depart
ment borrowS or prints money to
purchase bonds or to purchase
goods for government use. Some
blame the stock market, specula-
tive rising prices of stock engen-
dered by easy loans from banks.
There is an element of truth in
each, as well as in some others,
but not the total answers.
In simple terms, initiation is the
expansion of money or credit, or
both, an increase of money in cir
culation in greater proportion than
increased production of goods and
services which can be purchased
with the money.
Two principal ways are. to raise
wages and consequently prices.
