No Easy Soltition
■One unfortunate phase the price problem is that every- r
one seems to be. looking for a pat solution, which will solve
it in one fell swoop. . ■ ^
The fact is that the problem is simply the sum total of in
numerable other problems and forces, some of them of ex
treme complexity.®'For example, high wages contribute to
high prices. Foreign aid contributes to high prices. Govern
ment fiscal policy, which is still strongly inflationary, con-
tijibutes to high prices. Our record national income (increas-
>^6^printed money), which no one wants to reduce, contributes
to high prices. '
The worst illusion of all is that a return to price control
of the OPA type would solve the problem. The government
could set a low price for an article—but it couldn’t make any-
'pne produce that article if the price involved an operating
ipss. Price control would drive’goods inexorably into the.
black market, which would then become the real market.
Most dangerous of all, price control would be completely
impossible unless it involved the strictest kin.ds of wage and
, other controls—and subiected the nation to some kind of an
economic dictatorship. _ - ‘
During the next year, prices may go up or they may come
down. No cme knows, and, as the experience of the past year
or two shows, the forecasters are almost invariably wrong.,
But, in a free economy, where open competition exists all
along the commodity line, down to the chain or independent
sfore from which you buy your goods, the price will be an
hobest price. It will be an accurate reflection of pi*esent-day
costs and conditions. And that is all that anyone can expect.
