Economist Speaks On Inflation To Junior Women Constantly increasing govern ment spending far beyond its in come from taxes, was denounced by B. G. Byron at the regular din ner meeting of the Junior Wom an’s Club on April 15, as the pri mary cause of inflation. Mr. Byron said that increasing the money supply without a corresponding increase in the production of goods and services, forced up prices and made the dollar worth less and less. This increase in money sup ply came from government borrow ing and was really a hidden tax on the people in that it reduced the value of all dollars. Further more, when these government loans are repaid, since the government has not produced saleable goods, the loans can only be repaid by further taxation, or by artificially adding to the money supply, which again reduces the value of all dollars we have. Mr. Byron said that inflation was a preliminary step to the Socialist State. There is a great illusion, the speaker said, that in creasing government benefits do not cost anything, but the facts are that the cost of the Welfare State must be met sometime and that constantly rising inflation, causing more and more controls by government economic planners, must inevitably result in finan cial chaos and Socialism. The speaker emphasized that money is not wealth, but only a convenient means of exchanging goods; that real wealth and ma terial welfare came exclusively from the production of goods and services that people wanted.
