Tight money" unqueStion-
ably has been one Of the five
top business stories of 1859. II
will be an even bigger eco
nomic story next year, for wher
Congress adjourned the de-
bate over its impact and impli-
cations was suspended only
temporarily. When Congress
reconvenes in January it will
start again, and almost surely
monetary policy during the
Eisenhower administration will
be a key issue in the 1860 elec-
tions.
To put the point simply, in
1859 we entered cycle of the
tightest. hardest-to-get, most
expensive money in a genera
ton.
AS an illustration of the
price Of borrowing in October,
the Treasury paid 5 per cent
for a loan due in less than five
years. The Nations banks are
now paying 4 per cent for tenn
porary loans from the Federal
Reserve System and are charg-
ing the highest-rated corpora
tions 5 and 8 per cent for
short-term cash. Loan rates
across the board have been
hitting historic peaks.
While the price Of money
has scared. the availability of
the money has shrunk. Bor-
rowers have been standing in
line to get credit in many
areas, lots of applicants have
been turned down.
Major Credit Squeeze
We are in a credit squeeze
beyond anything ever expert
enced by the majority OF
Americans.
Why has this happened?
1t has developed because al
business has climbed to new
peaks in 1859, the demand from
about every type of borrower
for about every type of loan has
swelled to all-time highs
simultaneously, the Fedora,
Reserve System - which under
the law has the power to con.
troll the supply of credit anc
therefore its price-has refused
to expand the supply Of money
sufficiently to satisfy all de.
mands on the premise that Il
it did it would stimulate fringe
speculation, help set of another
imitation spiral. The result o.
a rising demand for credit ir
the face of a restricted supply
has been the upsurge in interesf
rates.
What has the debate been al
about?
The answer must be divided
into two parts:
A first answer is that we are
witnessing a crucial experiment
in the control of inflationary
forces through curtailment oi
credit.

YOUR

1859 Top Stories-H: Tight Money

There Is honest question
whether the Federal Reserves
credit curbs can be properly
effective in an economy in
which commercial banks are
only one Of many financial in
stitutions and in which the
wage-cost spiral is so strong.
There is honest worry whether
in trying to brake the boom
through credit restraints, the
Federal Reserve might not
break the prosperity itself.
There is honest concern over
the way general credit reStric-
tons discriminate against the
small businessman.
Treasury Trapped
A second answer is that even
the Treasury has been caught
in a tight money trap this
year, for under a 1917 law the
Treasury cannot pay an inter-
est rate Of more than AZ per
cent on United States bonds
Securities due in five years or
more).
In 1859, as interest rates in
the market rose far above Az
per cent, the administration
asked Congress to remove that
42-year-old ceiling. After pro-
longed debate, Congress said
"no"-thereby compelling the
Treasury to finance the Gov
ernment only through short
term loans, on which there is
no rate ceiling.
Unless another recession
sends interest rates into a
downswing soon-and q reces-
sion is not now on the horizon
there will be a tight money
squeeze in early 1860 as in
1859.
Certainly. the Treasury will
be back to Congress next
month fighting for a removal
of the AZ per cent rate ceiling
and a new battle will erupt.
The debate over money poll
cies is and will continue to be
one Of the leading stories of
this era.

Running Autos Costs
Geaugans $18~Mi1lion

For every car that is regis
tered in Geauga County,
there is an owner who asks
himself, at least once a year
How much does it cost me
to run it?"
Generally, the answer is
hard to come by. 1t is diff
cult to tie in all the variable
expenditures, such as oil, gas
and service charges, with
the fixed costs, such as insur-
ance, taxes and depreciation.
Help in this direction has
come from the American Au-
tomobile Association. Follow
ing a study of operating costs
in various parts of the coun-
ry. It's figures are for a car
in the popular price field,
of 10000 miles a year.
