What you earn then wont buy as much as it normally would. When we expand this example to the nation as a whole, the same causes and effects are applicable. And we call it inflation. Our federal governments spending of borrowed money over the past 15 years, has put into circulation billions upon billions of dollars, in return for which there has been practically no additional goods and services available. In fact, the government has been borrowing money I.O.U.s. on scraps of paper Every dollar it thus puts in circulation, takes a nip out of the value of every normal dollar earned by the wage and salary workers of the country. Loss To Inflation The Socialists and other brands of Economic Planners very effectively cite the terrible losses suffered by the big and little bank depositors during the depression of the early 30s. But inflation in recent years has made the depression losses seem like nothing. The total loss, because of inflation, to bank savings accounts, insurance policies and E, F, and G government savings bonds, was $116,565,524,000 and this for the years is 61 times the estimated loss to depositors in suspended banks including the during 1921-3worst depression years! Inflation is fed not only by government borrowing and spending, but by any action putting more dollars into circulation without more goods being produced. It could be helped along, in the long run, by industry putting extra money into the pay envelopes of its workers without additional production, or by banks going overboard in making loans on notes. History shows us that in nation after nation, despotic men have used inflation and its final destructive results as a means of gaining control over the lives of the people. In America, inflation is a dangerous business. For inflation can be turned on or off through the manipulations and practices of a small group of individuals within our federal government. 1941-195- 0, JUNE 20, 1952 F"r DRUMMER BOYS suhdhys SGRDiOll is a tradition among and actresses that tha show must go on, no matter what.'
