INFLATION
Raleigh.—Post-war infla
tion which faces the nation
today is nothing new,
Theodore S. Johnson, OPA
State Director, pointed out
today. The problem was al
so serious in Revolutionary
ymes.
George Washington injn
ced no words in speaking
of inflation. Johnson said.
Our first President saw
; sugar go from 28 cents to
$12.50 a pound and flour
go up to $2,000 a barrel,
will scarcely purchase a
wagon load of provisions,”
Washington wrote to John
Jay. “Unless that most in
i famous practice of raising
! prices of the necessities of
| life acn be stopped, it will
be impossible for any funds
to subsist the Army.”
Johnson also quoted
Washington a s saying, “I
believe it is essential to fix
the prices and if persons
will not comply, the great
law of self-preservation
must authorize us to com
pel them.”

! appreciation to my friends
over the entire District for
their loyalty /to me and the
confidence they have be
stowed in me during the
past years.
“Everyone Realizes that
there are many problems
facing the citizens of the
country today. It will take
effort. It will take the best
thought to solve these ques
tions. They can not be sol
ved in a day, nor should
they be solved in haste.
“The danger of inflation
is ever before us. Should
this come, it will seriously
affect the lives of every
man, woman, and child in
the entire country. It must
•be prevented. Tht burden
of preventing it rests upon
every citizen as well as
every public official. There
must be complete economic
stability.
“To bring about stability,
I have voted against in
creased expenditures. This
I will continue to do. I hope
that during the summer
months, and in the Fall
campaign, that I may have
an opportunity to discuss,
in speeches, these and many
current questions in every
county in the District.
“I do not think it inap
propiate for me to express
in advance to each and ev
ery voter my appreciation
for the support which may
be given me during this
