YOUR MONEYS WORTH.
Stability Of Dollar
Is Gale d Remarkable

chance that their dollars would
maintain their value. The odds
have been 81 per cent that the
dollars value would shrink IN
all the 3O-year periods since
1871.
Throughout history, the trend
of living costs has been up and
the basic direction Of paper
money values has been down.
The British historian, Arnold ].
TOynbee, reports he found no
instance in which the value Of
the currency Of any country in
any era of history had risen
over a prolonged period.
1t is against this background
that one must weigh the COM
parative stability in living costs
and buying power in recent
years.
This stability is remarkable in
terms of our own record. 1t is
spectacular in terms of the rec
ords Of underdeveloped nations
and of other induStrialized ma
tons which like us have gone
through two world wars in one
generation.
Initiation was rampant in the
United States after World War
/ II and the Korean conflict. This
is why today's cost Of living is
up 221 per cent since 1899 and
131 per cent since 1947-49. This
is why the dollar which was
worth 100 cents in the market
place in 1899 is worth only As
cents now and the dollar which
would buy 100 cents Of goods
and services in 1919 will buy
only rs cents worth Of the same
goods and services in 1868.
But we emerged from those
initiation eras long ago. Not for
years have prices and the dollar
been battered by the pressures
of severe scarcities Of materi-
ais, machines and manpower, Of
huge pent-up demands for goods
and services, Of vast pools of
savings accumulated only be-
cause there was little on which
the savings could be spent dur
ing the wartime '40s, Of an
upward spiral Of wages.
Let's get this point straight:
there can be no absolute stabili-
ty in prices or in a currency's
purchasing power in a vigorous
S o Gle ty /. A movement-up or
down-of a per cent or so over
a 12-month period must be con-
sidered approximate stability.
Here's our recent record:
In the last IL months, the
Governments consumer price
index-the measure of living
cost changes-has climbed less
than / per cent. The index is al
an alltime high, but it has
moved only from 1861 to 1911
in a year. To put this in per-
spective, today it costs a bit
over $1.O7 to buy the market
basket that 81 would have
bought in 1888. roughly five
years ago.
In the past IL months, the dol.
lars buying power has slipped l
per cent. Its value in the mar
ketplace is at a new low, but
the erosion is now at a creeping
pace. Again to put this in per-
spective, the 81 which bought
100 cents worth of goods and
services in 1888 buys under
"a cents worth in these closing
weeks of 1868.
