Show - Controls Necessary With the end of the war in Europe comes a demand in some sections of the nation for the repeal of price control and other restrictions upon the economic activities of individauls. Everybody should be reminded that the dangerous period for inflation, in-flation, is likely to occur when hostilities cease. Billions of dollars dol-lars have been saved by people working at home, while our fighting men took their chances abroad, and the immediate release re-lease of all restrictions would undoubtedly facilitate a wild buying spree. It is too early, as yet, to predict pre-dict how long it will be advisable to maintain Government regula-' regula-' tions as to prices, wages, buying and selling. It would be much better to keep them in effect longer than necessary than to remove re-move them before the danger of inflation is somewhat controlled. |
