Foster, Director of Communications A F B What is desperately needed at High Someone recently said, dont cause inflation -inflation causes high food prices. This is another version of the obvious fact that Wet sidewalks dont cause rain - rain causes wet sidewalks." But there are many people who still think that high prices cause inflation and one of the first remedies they propose is government price controls. They seek this remedy in spite of the experience with OPA, rationing and shortages during World War II.

The demagogic demand for controlling raw food prices is being led by union labor leaders, who some believe, are trying to bargain with the Administration for such controls in exchange for softening their wage demands in many new contracts nearing negotiation.

Farmers explain that they are really inflation fighters because they have increased production substantially, but in the case of meat, demand has outstripped production gains. Farmers ought to point out that they need an adequate return tc grow and enlarge operations. They need to expand and grow if they are to meet rising costs and stay in business. They need a decent return on their investment to keep the agricultural machine tuned up. Farmers need to tell the general public that if we are to improve the environment, its going to raise prices. Theres nothing wrong with a sensible program to improve the environment, but someone has to pay forit. Farmers need to insist that they need freedom to operate and manage their own land and business.
