The increase was small two-tentof one percent but the change was in the wrong direction. Jt is forecast by Arnold SPRING WATER. Chase, the Labor Department chief on prices, that there will be another slight rise in April. These prices are measured by an index compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Recently the base of the index has been shifted from 11947 43 to 1i517-5This has caused a substantial amount of concern among casual users of the index. They suspect that the change was made for the purpose of belittling price increases- This concern Is completely unjustified. The government is in the process of converting all its indexes to this new base. The reason for the shift is to get thse figures on a more current basis, and that is all there is to it. Such decisions are made by HELPER Distributed by MERCANTILE, CO., Helper, Utah the Bureau of the Budget. It perhaps also should be mentioned that there is a Business Research Advisory Council to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This council consists of 48 members, all of whom are privately employed economists. It watches over the work of the bureau and is quite free in giving advice. Further the bureau listens to such advice and never makes a major change without consulting with the council. The question of the (base period for the index came before the council as part of the broad pro blem of whether the index itself should be revised. This was dis cussed up one side and down the other for months. The final de to cision, and recommendation the bureau, was that there should be a complete revision. The rea- soning was not that the present index is wrong or inaccurate. It was merely that there needs to be a revision of every index at not too infrequent intervals say, about every 10 years. aisle, or mm mm ef a thousand office aid In some instances such revision -- devices the can peed' yevr business is not too great a job.

We need imports to give our consumers a wider choice at competitive prices. We need imports to give our industries and defense establishments the raw materials they require at prices they can afford and to keep a healthy pressure on our own producers and workers to improve efficiency, develop better products, and avoid the inflation that could price us out the March figure was 128.8, and with 1989 as a base the March index was 216-8- .

I asked him to what he attributed the preponderance of his success at court. He replied that by keeping to the essentials in every case, and striving never to drift off into the meanings of words or other divergent side areas,, he retained the ultimate goal firmly in mind, enabling him to work toward tliat objective. This in my judgment seems like an excellent plan of procedure for our Government especially in their discussions with the Communists. For, if we keep in mind that the Communist policy is the ultimate and complete domination of the world, the fact that it is their credo to bury us . . . that they have organized hate America groups, established cells everywhere to destroy democratic procedure, that they broke and will continue to break any and every agreement that they make just as Boon as it is expedient for them to do bo . . . it is purposeless, wasteful, illusionary, destructive and positively to meet on a basis of honest compromise at Geneva or anywhere else. dangerous It is blind to play fair Communists to whom play is weakness. If there was a time to softly and carry a stick it is now. with fair ever talk big The fact that Russia wants us to disarm should make us very suspicious. The fact that she wants us to disarm without adequate" inspection should make us distrustful. The fact that Red China has no intention of disarming should make us alert. It is strange that Russia has millions of dollars to spread furthering her causes throughout the world and does not have sufficient money to pay her dues at the United nations. She pays for what she pleases,, and the pUases to ignore payment for efforts te restore peace and order. Take the Congo as an instance. Russia is actively participating in the midst of the strife furthering people as leaders of her cause and sabotaging the efforts of the United Nations in the Assembly and in the field. Without question, our State Department has information that transcends the fullest knowledge of any individual outside it. It is our policy to help certain dominated countries by purchases, by trade, by loans, by supplying materiel. If we expect repayment in dollars then we must buy the products of these countries. This is so fundamental that it is impossible for me to understand how John Birchers can take ostrich-lik- e of "don't buy the products of these certain dominated countries". the United Federation of Teachers (AFL-CIO-) who went on strike recently to enforce their salary demands?

' Are we going to make the same mistake twice? The Administration urges the settlement of the South Vietnam war by a coalition of the government which includes the Communists.

All the years the Russians were stalling at Geneva, they were preparing for a series of some fifty bomb tests. That takes one wad of preparation. With contemptuous disregard for opinions of the How to win votes and influence prices is indicated by the Administration's recent activity. After being completely rebuked at the convention of labor leaders in Florida, and completely flouted when the electricians struck and secured a 25 hour week, the Administration was successful in exerting many pressures and great influences against the steel business. Certainly nobody wants to sec spiralling prices. For inflation will hurt every- body and help nobody. Yet, how union leaders can keep demanding more money and, less hours without increasing costs and prices is a mystery. If the Administration has forgotten business has built our economy, then let them remem- ber that the corporations pay 52 of taxes on every dollar of profit. that . ' |
