WHAT CAUSES INFLATION?
The principal cause of inflation
is an increase in the supply of
money in relation to the supply of
goods and services. In a war, a
large part of the supply of goods
and services are taken up in the
furtherance of the war and are,
therefore, not available for normal
consumption. This causes the mo-
ney supply to get larger in pro-
portion to the amount of goods to
buy.
The Korean war, so far, has
not taken enough of our goods tot
cause runaway inflation.
Production is the answer to in-
flation. Our money supply at this
time is enormous, due to many
factors—the main ones are: full
employment, good wages and good
farm prices. The amount pt cre-
dit available is another factor in
inflation. The extension of credit
has the same effect as the issu-
ance of money—in both cases,
more purchasing power is avail-
able to the public; and if the pur-
chasing power is out of proportion
to the goods to be purchased, in-
flation is inevitable.
PRODUCTION PER MAN
One of the most significant
gauges of economic progress is
provided by the measure of pro-
ductivity. Since the early part of
1800, or the 19th century, the in-
dustrial output per man hour has
approximately doubled every 50
years and hours worked per week
have declined from 70 hours to 40
hours. The ability to get more
goods and services out of fewer
hours of labor has probably been
the greatest single contribution of
our system of enterprise.
SHORTAGES
Almost everything made of me-
tal will feel the pinch the next
few months. Automobiles will be
cut 20 to 25 per cent the early
months of next year, because the
manufacturers simply will not be
able to get the essential materials.
Later on next year, the automobile
output will be cut even more
Busses will get some preference,
but there will not be enough t<>
meet the demands. No one knows
how bad the shortage will get. It
all depends on the emergency. It
is not likely that the shortages
will be as acute as during the past
war.
