Following la part of a report from
I the National Office of Pacts and
Figures, in Washington. D. C . which
: speaks for itself:
I "Between July. 1940. and Decem
ber. 1940. Inflationary price levied
j on the country more than two bll
! ilon dollars In costs needlessly added
j to defense expenditures. During tne
first World War. more than 45 per
I cent of the total coat of the struggle
1 resulted from inflation.
| "Living costs have been rising In
' the United States at a rate of 1 % per
] cent a month. If the spiral continues
i unabated, living costs in March of
| this mr lutve increased fifteen
I per cent since September, 1939.
which means that the great mass at
| people will have forfeited to inflation
one day's wage out of every sev
