BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK
THE SPIRIT SURVIVES THE
BODY: For this corruptible must
put on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality. I Cor.
Complete Price
Controls Coming
Almost everyone agrees that the
United States is facing inflation.
But even the experts cannot agre
on how this situation can be reme
died. Our present price control policy is
one of placing price ceilings on a se
lected group of commodities. Wages
and farm prices are not controlled;
they are expected to fall in line.
There are many Congressional
leaders who do not believe that this
policy is inclusive enough. They
think it should go further. And, con
sequently, more stringent price con
trol laws are pending in Congress.
Canada had until recently a price
control policy similar to ours. Now,
Canada has a ceiling over all agri
cultural and industrial commodities
from original production to final
consumption. Rents have been froz
en and wages are geared to the cost
of living.
There are two main differences
between Canada and the United
States that probably explain why the
United States has not taken tne
much-needed steps to stop inflation.
First, Canadian industry has been
almost completely converted from
civilian to military production, but
this is not the case in the United
States. We do not clamp down on
the wages of workers in war indus
tries because we. need more workers
in these industries.
In other words, wages must .be at
tractive to draw workers into war
industries until these industries are
fully manned; then, wage control will
not interfere with defense production.
The second difference between
Canada and the United States, which
also helps to explain why Canada can
adopt price and wage ceilings, is the
fact that Canada is at war. With
friends and members of their family
fighting in Africa and Europe, the
people of Canada are more willing,
than we are, to accept sacrifices.
But a complete price control pro
gram will come to the people of the
United States. The question is when
will it come. This depends largely
on the willingness of various groups
in the United States to accept sacri
fices. Milestones
When the armies of pre-Versailles
Europe had been "at it" as long as
armies have been fighting in this war,
the First World War was half over.
The Kaiser's forces had occupied an
area five times that of the pre-1914
Reich, but Verdun had proved itself
too strong for them, the British of-1
fensive on the Somme had greatly im-
proved the Allies' position, the Rus
sians had struck with great force in
what nobody knew was to be their
last big battle of the war. The more
confident observers among the Allies
thought they discerned the beginning
of the end for the Hohenzollerns.
A comparison of ttie superficial as
pects of the present war with those of
the 1914-18 conflict at a similar point,
indicates that Hitler's position is no
tably stronger than that of the Kais
er. The Nazi hordes have overrun
much more territory and are strate
gically better situated in practically
all the theaters except the Near
East
This comparison omits the Ameri
can counterweight in the Battle of
the Atlantic, of course, the small
ness of the German Navy, and the
effects of the blockade. In spite of
the blockade the Nazis seem to have
maintained terrific striking power in
the field and a very fair morale on
the home front. However, the effect
of the 1914-18 British blockade
vfeM Carolina kJL
, against Imperial Germany, was hard
ly discernible at the half-way mark
on the long, long trail to peace.
.None of these comparisons are
really fundamental. But they should
Caanre to stimulate endeavor and to
t put iron in tne determination of free
men. Only the free can measure the
:; awakening- of peoples to the world
V' Ue Btttn of the Nail threat Only
these cap plumb the depths of feeling
