INFLATION 0. 1

Z“PERLTOU. S.

MOLEY THINKS

Ex-Brain Truster, Here for Address, Raps Delay on Price Bill.

(Photp, Page Four)

. By WILLIAM CRABB The danger from inflation is more serious than the danger. from the war, Raymond Moley, journalist and educator, said in an ‘interview here today. Mr, Moley is contributing editor of Newsweek Magazine and was the No. 1 “Brain-truster” during the early days of the New Deal. Tonight he will address the Indiana Association of Personal Finance Companies at -the Claypool Hotel on “Can Private Enterprise Survive This War?” . Congress is “kicking around” the price control problem, Mr. Moley said, and the result is that the dangers, from inflation are becoming increasingly acute.

Blames Administration

“The blame rests with the Administration for not p: a beter ‘bill,” he declared. “Congress

had three monthe to-do the| right thing and it appears thatj

nothing will be done before January.. 29 Mr. Noley described the present bill under ‘consideration &s “wholly inadequate.” He said Congress had

a good bill offered it—the Gore Bill |

ol ie would have covered: prices, wages and profits—but its passage has been prevented by pressure groups. _ Canada learned its lesson and soon will put into effect an adequate price control system which will protect it after the war, he said.

Fears: for Post-War Trade

: “This is-a point we're apt to over- + look,” sa L Ms, Moley. “The couns-

goes into: the -after-war: wd tht With’ high ‘costs will be at & great disadvantage in its world trade.

“We will be at the mercy of even|

England and Germany «who. will | have reduced costs and standards of living.” He said that there are two phases |’ of inflation. The first is where people are afraid they're not going to get certain things and rush to buy. themn—silk stockings and Hes,

when ‘the public thinks its money isn’t going to be any good and they rush to spend everything they can as fast as they can. ~ “We are still in the first stage,” Mr. Moley commented.
