DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA
Babson's Point Of View On -
As the wage-price spiral gathers
steam, there is rising concern in
business circles and in Washington.
The need for a tax boost is every-
where discussed and there is re-
newed speculation that the Admin-
istration may also be forced to
adopt wage-price controls.
Wage Settlements Inflationary
President Johnson has repeatedly
expressed the hope that voluntary
wage and price restraint could be
achieved through application of the
guideposts of the Council of Econo-
mic Advisers. In pursuit of that
goal, the President had cautioned
labor to trim its demands so as
not to rock the economy. Also, he
had several times used the prestige
of his Phice to persuade industry to
forego or to rescind price boosts
in selected industrial raw materials.
For a time it appeared that the
Administration = was succeeding in
keeping wages and prices from up-
spurting too violently. However,
over the last several months the
‘White House has been fighting a
losing battle with runaway wages
and prices. Despite those price rises |
it did succeed in thwarting, quota- |
tions have been edging upward. And
the final agreement between the air-
lines and the Machinists Union is
the latest in a series of such settle-
ments which have been clearly in-
flationary. ‘
Living Costs Climbing
The effects of recent unrealistical-
ly liberal wage settlements and of
climbing prices are evident in the
trend of living costs. In July, the
latest month for which such statis-
tics are available, the Bureau of
Labor's "Cost of Living Index in-
creasedi four-tenths of one por cent |
over June. Higher transportation
costs land a somewhat smaller-than-
average boost in food prices were
blamed for the upturn.
The al of Living Index is 2.8%
above year ago and promises to
move still higher over the near
term. It stands at 113.3. This means
that it, now costs the American con-
sumer $11.33 for a typical selection
of commodities which cost only $10
in the 1957-59 period on which the
| index is based.
Are Wage-Price Controls Coming?
You can expect the cost of food,
medical care, and other services to
rise alarmingly over the next couple
of months. But you can also expect
the President to insist that it is
too soon to do anything that would
definitely put a lid on wages and
prices. Mr. Johnson well realizes
that inflation is a problem and that
it spells danger in the period ahead.
But he also realizes that the strong
measures needed to combat it are
unpopular and that they would have
little chance of clearing Congress
before the November election.
So we must wait until the vot-
ing is over, — hoping that by that
time the economy will not be so
overheated that a recession will be
its only real cure. Because of the
politica] realities involved, there
will be no attempt to impose any
system of wage and price controls
upon the nation this fall. Any such
move would probably be deferred
until after the turn of the year.
Even then it is unlikely to be re-
sorted to until after taxes have
been hiked.
Tax Boost By January
To ease up-pressures on the
economy stemming from record in-
dustrial activity and the escalated
war in Vietnam, the Administration
and Congress might have chosen,
last spring, either to increase taxes
or to cut federal spending. Instead,
they did nothing.
We are spending so much, so
rapidly, ‘to support our effort in
Vietnam that it is widely expected
the President will ask Congress for
an additional $12 billion for this
purpose. Added to the $12 billion
already budgeted for the Viet war,
this would make a total of $58 bil-
lion to be expended for national
security this year. It boils down to
this: We cannot cut spending for the
Viet war, and our leaders will not
cut spending for Great Society pro-
grams. We just don’t have enough
cash to go around for both. So
there'll be a tax boost — applying
to both corporations and individuals
— by January.
