During the political campaign
ahead, a great deal will be said
about the state of the economy
Specifically, there is certain to be
a lot of talk about the cost of
living
Before all of the charges and
counter-charges of the campaign
begin to obscure the facts, you
might be interested in con
sidering what has happened to
the economy in the past 12
months. That’s the period of time
during which the President’s
price and wage control program
has been in effect.
The facts show that the control
program is working The rate of
inflation is down, and this has
been done even though the
controls are limited in nature so
that enforcement does not
require a huge bureaucracy
The figures show conclusively
how much the inflation rate has
dropped. During the 2nd quarter
of last year consumer prices
were going up at the rate of 4.7
per cent. The 2nd quarter of this
year showed that the rate has

dropped to 2.2 percent. That
dramatic decline in the inflation
rate has to be credited to the
success of the control program.
At the same time that the
brighter picture in consumer
prices has been coming about,
there has been a rapid rise in
employment and production
Therefore, the control program
has not been at the expense of a
growing economy, but instead
has contributed to the growth
Most importantly for every
American working man and
woman, real spendable weekly
wages began to go up in 1971 and
the rate of increase has
quickened during the past year
For the average production
worker, the income he has to
spend after taxes, inflation, etc
have taken their bite is up 4 1 per
cent over a year ago That
compares with an average an
nual increase of 1 3 percent from
1960 to 1968
One area that has been par
ticularly controversial in this
whole business of controls is the
continued upward climb of food
prices. The facts show that food
costs are going up at a rate
greater than the overall inflation
rate During a twelve month
period ending in April, 1972 food
prices in this country rose by 3 9
percent. That is considerably
more than the 2.2 percent in
flation rate mentioned
previously
But the surge in U S food
prices is a part of a world-wide
