Fifty million dollars is a lot
of money—almost half as large
as OPA’s original appropriation
of $120,000,000 for 1942-43, but
that much money has been sav-
ed the United States govern-
ment by one single price reduc-
tion ordered by the Office of
Price Administration.
A saving—estimated conser-
vatively at $50,000,000—has been
effected by an order cutting
back by 10 per cent to 25 per pe°ple—J^greater man the sup^
cent the maximum prices for ^ y °
most of the steel castings used <
in ships, tanks, guns, and planes
This saving to taxpayers on the
country’s war bill was decided
on after an examination of the
1942 earnings of steel castings
manufacturers revealed that
profits on sales were running
from three to five times as
large as in the four years 1936
through 1939.
billions of dollars, but often
this is difficult to comprehend
because of its intangibility.
“What might have been—” is
the best way to weigh the ad-
vantages of price control.
Everybody has a stake in the
continuing battle against infla-
tion. In simple words, inflation
means that demand—the spend-
ing power in the hands of the
it may be spread too thin for
subsistence.
That’s not all. Farmers and
small businessmen have to look
sharply. To them, the greatest
peril may come after the war
when the spiral—if there has
been one—collapses. Prices of
their products drop and drop.
If we want to preserve what
gains we have made, prevent
suffering for the people with
fixed incomes, and avert bank-
ruptcies later, the United States
must cling to the line already
laid down—keeping profits at a

poor—will get an equal share of
the goods available under the

That’s the situation
we’re in now. And the results
of inflation are inevitable that
even the dictionary says:
“Inflation always produces a
rise in the price level.”
Uncontrolled inflation goes a
lot further than that, however.
Uncontrolled inflation spins us
into mvsterious and terrifying
“inflationary spiral.” Prices go
up; prices push up income; in-
come pushes up prices; prices
push up income; income pushes
up prices—until prices are so
high and money worth so little
that a basketful won’t buy a
loaf of bread. It happened that
way in Germany after the last
war. To a lesser extent, it hap-
pened here. When we were this
far along with the war of 1914-
18, the cost of living had gone
up a third.

these steps are smart for their

in the battle against the effects
of inflation. Fair distribution ol

The Teacher’s “If”
Ifyou can take your dream into
the classroom,
And always make them part of
each day’s work—
If you can face the countless
problems
Nor turn from them nor ever
try to shirk—
If you can live so the child
you work with
Deep in his heart knows you to
be a man—
If you can take “I can’t”
from his language
And put in place a vigorous "I
can”—
