For that reason he no longer favored his prewar idea of a freeze on both prices and wages. Our only hope, said the elder statesman, is that we can weather the next six to nine months without running into serious inflation. If we do that, our chances of a strong recovery from the war boom are good. demand for "The huge pent-uproducts which we will see during the next nine months is a p very serious threat," said Baruch, stressing the importance of holding prices down. He amazed his listeners by saying that he is completely opposed to tax reduction of any nature at this time. "Not only does the government lose needed revenue, but it is an unhealthy th.ng for our general economy," argued Baruch. Rep. Andy Biemiller of Milwaukee asked what Baruch thought of the statement by General Motors president C. E. Wilson that if wages are raised 30 per cent, prices must go up 30 per cent. Baruch talked at some length on the general question of rising prices, but gave no direct answer. Finally, Biemiller repeated his question. "I'm afraid I cant agree with Mr. Baruch said. Wilson, WAGE NOT PRICE INCREASE "Isnt it true that industry can give a 30 per cent wage increase without having to raise prices more than about 7'x per cent? Biemiller persisted. You are approximately right, Baruch agreed. "I believe the figure you may have heard is actually 8'i per cent. Baruch also told his guests that he felt we were making a mistake in speeding manpower demobilization. "With the world in its present situation, he said, "it seems to me it would be wiser to proceed slowly with demobilization, in order that we not weaken ourselves at a time when power is apparently still an important thing. He agreed also with an idea proposed by one of his guests, Estes Ke- y fauver of Chattanooga, to have inet members and other high ficials appear on the floor of gress where they can be questioned Such a practice by congressmen. would make for much greater operation between the executive and Baruch legislative departments, said.

CHURCHILL DEFEAT Winston Churchill recently told friends how he felt after his defeat in the British elections. The first few days after his defeat were terrible, Churchill confessed. The very next morrilng he arose and fretted because there were no diplomatic cables to read. Through the war, his first morning chore was to read the military and diplomatic cables from all over the empire; and he paced up and down intermittently for days, fretting because there were no cables coming in and d cause. though he felt things were going wrong, there was no one to whom he could send cables to straighten things out. "Finally I went down to the south of France, Churchill confessed. "They treated me well there. I painted several pictures and they fed me some wonderful food. But still I couldnt get over this idea of no cables coming in and no cables going out. Each morning I fretted when I read the papers. But finally one morning I felt better.
