Eccles, former chair man of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve,, is one of the nation's foremost authorities on money, banking, and the federal debt. His views merit our respectful respect-ful consideration. So when he sounds off on these topics, as he did last Friday in an address to the State Bar association convention conven-tion at the Hotel Utah, a little re view and comment on his remarks are not inappropriate. As reported in a news item In the Salt Lake Tribune, Saturday, June 25 which I am using as the basis of this commentary, Mr. Eccles Ecc-les expressed the opinion that the U. S. has learned enough of the uses of money volume and credit control so as to be able to prevent inflations and deflations in the future. Recognizing that both inflation in-flation and deflation are serious evils, he argued, in effect, that the nation has not experienced any inflation in-flation since the Korean war, that inflation is not necessarily an end product of deficit spending,, that the government debt is no larger than it was ten years ago, that it has, In fact, diminished In proportion pro-portion to the total national product pro-duct "to which debt should be related". re-lated". He asserted further, according to the news report in the Tribune, to the news report in the Tribune, that a country with a dynamic economy must have a continuously growing money supply, "but never a contraction". His estimate was that this country needs an annual growth of not less than five per cent, and more if the growth of the labor force and production is greater. He advised his audience of lawyers not to worry about the debt might impose on future generations, gen-erations, reminding them that all debt, public and private, has always al-ways been passed on to future generations, "but so have all the assets". Without debt there would be no money, no banks, no production, pro-duction, and no employment, he stated, according to the report in the Tribune, and he added, "We have never had prosperity without an expansion of debt or a depression depres-sion withoue a contraction of de- 39 it? Ancient Age is a bargain at any price. Now there is still another reason for Ancient Age's popularity. More than six years ago, we laid away extra stocks of Ancient Age. So today we actually lower the price of this truly matchless bourbon. Today this millionaire's whiskey can be enjoyed by everyone. Taste Ancient Age and you'll see why we can say: "If you can find a better bourbon. ..buy it"l Reason? There is no better bourbon. And, at its new low price, this is the greatest value in history. Over By Dick Morrison ' bt". He did not hold, of course, that unlimited debt could bring about unlimited prosperity, and he expressed ex-pressed concern over the high levels of debit in the housing field, and some others. The thing he hopes to see, it Is fair, to deduce from his talk, Is the maintaining of the proper balance between money in circulation and the volume vol-ume of trade. He is not unaware of the fact, according to the Tribune Tri-bune news report, that a lot of education is still needed on the subject, and he is ".sometimes made unhappy by reading statements state-ments of some leaders indicating a lack of understanding of money and credit". So much for the resume of Mr. Eccles' speech to the State Bar, as reported in the news columns of the Salt Lake Tribune. Now for a few words of my own on the subject sub-ject Mr. Eccles Is, indeed, a foremost authority on money and related subjects. He ranks among our most enlightened bankers, and the type of money and debt controls he advocates will, Indeed, serve to level out extremes of boom and depression -- for awhile yet. But, enlightened though he Is, Mr. Ec cles' ideas still reflect his life long background In the banking business. busin-ess. He is miles ahead of many bankers In his acceptance of the fact that a non-managed money-debt money-debt system would, by its natural warkings, wreek havoc with the high-strung capitalistic business system of America today. Such a non-managed money-debit system ; would bring wide, up and down swings of the business cycle of such violence that they would destroy des-troy the free enterprise system as the Marxists predicted. And the type of managed "debt" which Mr. Eccles favor will, as I just stated, keep such destructive fluctuations within bounds for a while. The trouble with the managed debt system, though, is that it is just that a debt system. It is a s.ystem of endless debt, of debt on which someone, private borrowers bor-rowers of bank credit, or government govern-ment borrowers, must pay interest forever to the bankers, the repay can say: n J ima ment Of wlu'ch debt tt'Ould bring about the collapse of the system. As Dudley Crafts once remarked to me when we got wound up in a discussion of the matter, bank credit, in the aggrgate, "is money that can never be repaid." Repayment would not only be a physical Impossibility, for no bank loan can ever be repaid unless un-less someone else takes out a new loan, but the attempt to pay it would wipe the circulating medium me-dium out of existence. "That being the case, it would be that Mr. Eccles' words about national leaders who show a lack of understanding of money and credit might be applied to Marriner Mar-riner S. Eccles, as well! Of course, it could be that in talking to a lay audience, lawyers normally being as "laymen" in this field, Mr. Eccles was "talking down" to his audience. Perhaps he knows as well as the most advanced ad-vanced economists, that there is no sense in the nation's paying interest forever, to the bankers, for use of the circulating medium. If so, then he knows that the next step in economic progress would be the replacing of the "managed credit system" with a managed currency system.. The switch from the former to the latter could be made without a ripple in the economic system if properly handled, and the end result re-sult would be that the illusion of a national debt of staggering proportions pro-portions would be wiped out. Wouldn't this be repudiation, do you ask? No, It would not, for reasons I am prepared to discuss at length with any who wish.. For one thing, you can't repudiate a "debt" that really isn't a debt, but is only figures written on pieces pie-ces of paper, which created both a "debt" and an "asset" at the same time, out of nothing. To look at the "bank debt" system sy-stem from another angle: early critics of the Federal Reserve system sy-stem argued that it would guarantee guar-antee the bankers a mortgage on all the future growth of the nation, na-tion, from the time it .was started in 1913. What has happened? Senator Sen-ator fiyrd, who doesn't exactly understand un-derstand it either, reminded us recently re-cently that the total federal "debt" is equal to the value of all the tangible property in the U. S. the land, factories, homes, everything. That is true. But does it mean anything but that the banking system was ill-conceived? I say it does not. Senator Byrd CO., FRANKFURT. KY. reveal his own lack of understanding understand-ing of the matter when he holds we should "reduce the debt." But without reform of the money system sy-stem the attempt would be disastrous. dis-astrous. I'd certainly like to hear Mr. Eccles' uninhibited views on these facts of the money question. But until we decide to face up to the matter honestly, open mind- edly, and courageously, and adopt the use of a non-interest bearing currency in place of interest bear ing "debt" for money, we may as well acknowledge that the managed man-aged debt system which Mr. Eccles favors will make a pretty good stop-gap. "Gratlsone" I have always liked science fiction, fic-tion, so it was no accident that I bough a copy of Galaxy magazine maga-zine last week, and happened upon up-on a story which held a brand new idea. It is one philosophers may toy with for a long time to come. The story Is named Property of Venus. The author, L. Sprague de Camp. It deals with the growth of certain exotic plants,, the seeds of which were smuggled in from Venus on a space ship, and with one certain plant whose forbidden fruit caused people who ate it to do surprising things. The Australian Austra-lian Passion fruit would be a vegetable veg-etable of frivolity compared with it. The fruit of this Venusian tree of Eden, as the author was pleaded plead-ed to call it, "gave out a delicious, deli-cious, enticing smell that had the guests drooling," and the taste was out of this world. But what the guests didn't know was that it was rich In gratisone, the gratitude grat-itude hormone, which had been isolated by Pfftchnikov in 1970, and which could cause people to teel a sense of unrestrained, undying un-dying gratitude toward whoever gave it to them. One man gave a bag of the fruit to a neighbor lady, and she was so grateful and was anxious to doanything for him in return, and would have done it had not her husband returned home unexpectedly, a day early. The philisophical gimmick is, just what kind of a world would we have if people were In the habit ha-bit of becoming inordinately grateful grate-ful to others in return for small favors? Would it be as good as one might thing, offhand? Hardly. Hard-ly. The sense of gratitude is alright, al-right, if held in check, but all-out gratitude for almost nothing could hold possibilities for evil as explosive ex-plosive as the atomic bomb. There may even be a good word to be said for the ingrates among us, when you get to thinking of it that way. , Trccaff She whole family Co a Take Drivc-avay Delivery of a Hew 1955 E,E)SrJlB0 u up to $ 183 00 Your ht&rt set oa new "Rocket" OlAunoLQV Veil, here's a won Jtrful w ay to gf t one ... and enjoy a trip Et, too!

DELTA Less Cuttle Lice And 3 lore Profit Cattle lice can be effectively controlled to increase profits, even on a small farm where only one or a few head of cattle are present,. pre-sent,. Cattle lice reduce milk production pro-duction in dairy cows by making the animals nervous. They also reduce re-duce rate of growth in young stock and in beef animals. Lice control on dairy cattle is possible with rotenone, pyrethrum, lindane or methoxchlor sprays. Beef cattle should be dipped or thoroughly sprayed with DDT, tox-aphene, tox-aphene, chlordane, lindane or BHC to get rid of lice. These pests are numerous In many untreated herds; they build up in numbers over the winter. A 3-gallon garden sprayer may be used to control lice on one or a few animals. Control should be repeated as necessary. by Rodney G. Rickenbach County Agent. Mr. and Mrs. George Chamberlain, Chamber-lain, and mother, Mrs. Ahem, and daughter Carol, from Baldwin Park, Cal., were Delta visitors during the past week. They have sold their home in Delta to Edward Christen-sen Christen-sen of the South Tract. They visited visi-ted friends in Delta and Sutherland, Suther-land, and their daughter in Logan, before returning to California. Mrs. Margaret Tinsley, former Sutherland resident and now living liv-ing in Tulare, Cal., made an overnight over-night visit last week with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jensen, and visited some of her old friends and neighbors. neigh-bors. Mrs. Tinsley is now 87 years old. She was with her daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Lancaster, and son Eldon, on their first trip here. They were going on to Denver, Colo., and Indiana to spend two months and will return through Texas to Tulare. Off Again. On Again As one who deplores the high divorce rate of the American people, peo-ple, I must say I've never read a defense of it as startling as one in the current Merucry, by Robert Donlevin.. Replying to European criticism, he asserts: "It's the divorce rate that leads Europeans to believe in the loosening loos-ening of family ties in America, the vast majority of couples who seek divorce in the U. S. are not trying to break away from family life, but only to change from one family to another." The title of the article containing that gem is, "Are Americans Really Crazy?" FHONE311 |
