Babson There is no more certain way of wrecking our economy and our democracy than by allowing the value of our dollar to continue to decline. Many are finding it ex- tremely difficult today to make ends meet with a fifty-seven cent dollar in this most prosperous era America has ever known. , Inflation Marches On In 1940, a friend of mine got an air mail letter from Greece. The amount of postage on the envelope was 30 drachmas, or about sixty-five cents. Just the other day, he received an air mail letter of the same weight from Athens. He counted the postage— 9700 drachmas—323 times as much as it took in 1940! How would you like to hold life insur- ance policies in an Athenian com- pany, or to have bought Greek Government bonds in 1940? Both are being paid as they become due; but in almost worthless money. It can’t happen here? It al- ready has happened. By the time you get around to cash your 1953 Series E Bonds which you bought in 1943, you will have lost an appreciable amount of money in terms of what your dollars can buy. It already takes twice as many dollars as in 1940 to buy the aver- age car. Food costs are up over 100%; clothing costs by about 95 per cent; and rent costs by about 20%. Almost anything you can name ‘has spiralled since Korea. The Air Force alone reports that the decline in the dollar has eaten out of its budget seven hundred and fifty jet fighters. Causes of Dollar Decline Management blames the decline of the dollar on wage raises. The wage earner blames management for price hiking in a seller's market. Both groups are at fault. But the real difficulty lies with the fact that the production of goods is not keeping up with the demand. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals an average hourly pay rise in the manufacturing in- dustries from a low of $1.00 in 1946 to $1.50 in 1950, or 50 per cent. During the same time, the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Index rose 36.9%. This meant an average hourly increase of around 10% in actual purchas- ing power of workers. From 1946 to 1950, corporate profits rose, before taxes, from 23.6 billion to around 37 billion in 1950, or an approximate 57% increase. After paying taxes, however, 1946 corporate gains were 13.6 billion, and rose to 21.5 billion in 1950, and compare fairly well with the increase in wages and prices. This is a good illustration of the law of supply and demand—action and re- action—which ultimately takes care of unbalances. The desire of all of us for more play and less work is the real cause of our de- Babson Cites The Reasons Why Inflation Marches On clining dollar. The Korean war simply brought our precarious economic status into sharper focus. More Controls Coming I hate the idea of more govern- ment in business. I always will be vigorously opposed to unneces- sary government controls. We can no more control inflation wvolun- tarily with our present Government in a wartime economy than we can raise a ten million man army vol- untarily. It is, therefore, with reluctance that I have come to the conclusion that the only cure for inflation is through stringent regi- mentation of our economy—but only for as long as war lasts. This means stiff taxes and a big reduction of all expenditures not required by the war preparations, in order to put the war on a pay- as-you-go basis. It means prices, wages, and profits must be con- trolled. It means an end to all subsidies to farmers, laborers, and businessmen. It means unloading the billions of dollars of farm in- ventories now stockpiled by the Government. It means a drastic reduction in the heavily overloaded executive branch of the Govern- ment. It means all-out mobiliza- tion, not a piecemeal mobilization which encourages inflation. Unless we immediately take these drastic steps, unpleasant as they may be, our dollar may become worth only twenty-five cents.

Not only that, but I'm plon- ning on putting a couple of cows on the pasture that kept my team. You know, I never realized what a genuine pleasure farming with a tractor is as compared to farming with a team. The best part of it is my Pony has the power, weight, traction and tools to handle every 1l-plow job on the place. And I do my work in less time too. Believe me, I'm sure glad I asked for a demonstration right here on my own farm. If I were you, I'd look into the Pony way of farming—it can't be beat in the 1-plow class.” Charles H.
