PRICES 1920 AND 1D46 One of the myths peddled by price control opponents is i charge that OPA ceilings are wholly ineffective and that

prices actually are higher than the theoretical ceilings sug

gest. The cold statistics show that we have at least escaped he type of inflation we had after the last war, when no ;eilings existed. In the six years from August, 1914, to July. 1920, retail

prices in large cities rose 108.4 per cent. The increase from

1929 to February of this year was 31.2 per cent. This latter

figiire makes no allowance for quality deterioration and the

short supply of low-cost goods, but neither did the figures

for the 1914-20 period.

' Here is a table showing prices in 1920, at the peak of

post-World, War I inflation, and average prices as of January, 1946, in. 56 cities:

, ',; -v-. 1920 acon,l lb. 52 ard, 1 lb 30.;'

Sugar, ,1.1b 19. V

Coffee, 1' lb. 47

Potatoes, 1 lb 64

Milk, l.qt . '.. 17 Bread, 1 lb. loaf 12

1946 cents 41 cents 19 6 301a 4,. 9

We are still threatened bv additional inflation. The in

flation of 1920 finally led to a buyers' strike and a savage

sudden depression, a 44 per cent decrease m factory rjayrolls.

a 5,660,000 increase in unemployment, a transformation of

i92U corporate protits into an actual 1921 net loss. To fore

stall such a disaster,, prompt extension of the price-control

law is mandatory. Chicago Sun. ,

i From trie steep hill, Jessie watched fier home torn with the others . , .

JOHN drew the short senate term. It was over almost before it begas.. And soon claim-jumpers were flooding .jthe Mariposa. The wheel of fortune turned swiftly , , Though, Jessie was about to have another child, she insisted on returning, to. California with John. T.hey found San Francisco miraculously prown, and bought a house on Stockton street. There, John Charles was born. ,.' ' ..The city wasfllled with adventurers. Violence -flared everywhere.

She dreamed John came in.

"A full year in Europe," he said.

Jessie and the children found a temporary haven in a

inserted army barracks on the windswept sand dunes. The

next morning, Gregorio announced, "Some people come see you. Please you talk to them?" Jessie Stepped to the door. With astonishment, she saw a group of Australians to whom she and John had sold land from the Mariposa at a generous figure. All of the callers were loaded down with household, goods and the leader explained, "We couldn't save your house, Mrs. Fremont. So we carried out all of your clothing, furniture and other things." One by one, they deposited her treasures. ,i. It was almost a week later when John found them and she told all that had happened. He, too, was having difficulties. The mining equipment he had purchased was proving costly and inefficient. Engineers he had brought to California were deserting to stake out their own claims . . . When business again took John away, Jessie fought dis

couragement. He seemed no longer to need her. The discovery of gold had removed her opportunity to collaborate with him. She thought: What if their marriage were dead! If it slowly crumbled into meaninglessness, then everything was gone. Rain slashed across the windows as Jessie sat in the forlorn cabin on Christmas Eve. The children were asleep. She had put up a little tree and sat in a rocker before the fire. She fell, asleep and dreamed that John had come in , . . and at last she knew it was no dream. "My dear," she murmured, "you did come home for Christmas." John had presents for all of them. Then he dangled two long steamship tickets before her unbelieving eyes. "Read them," ho said happily, "We're going to have a full year in Europe..." (Continued tomorrow)
