warned, this pressure on the banks would bring pressure to bear on bus- ‘ mess. Furthermore. tbe Johnson basic fiscal policy. — which looks to an expanding.economy which can produce higher tax revenues at lower tax rates —is being placed in jeopardy. » I conferred with Senator McCarthy and it is with entire concurrence that we call for a reversal of the Federal Reserve’s tight money policy. During the past month it has become the stated policy of the United States Government — declared by Treasury Secretary Fowler—to work toward expansion of the international money supply by reforming the international monetary system. Soon it will be possible for this policy to be translated into progressive and , enlightened action. But this policy will be meaningless, this action will be ineffective, if it is not based upon

a soundly and continuously expanding American economy. It is now . time for the fundamental and for-ward-looking revision of international monetary policy announced by Secretary Fowler to be accompanied by a similar revision of domestic monetary' policy by the Federal Reserve. The foundation that exists today for a continued expansion of economic activity is unprecedented—and should be unquestioned. But questions will continue to be asked, both at . home and abroad, until all branches of the American Government a- , gree in deed as well as in word that American prosperity is the number one prerequisite for world prosperity. In order that this agreement may be made known to all the world, I once again call upon the Federal Reserve to end its tight money policy before a squeeze on money becomes ; a squeeze on activity, profits, and jobs—and tax revenues, as well.” I I
