Installment credit controls took the form of larger down payments and a reduction in the length of the period in which the balance had to be paid. As a wpesult of these measures, the total volume of installment credit declined from over $6,000,000,000 in 1941 to less than $2,000,000,000 at the present time. | These large repayments have strengthened the finan- |0f Federal responsibility for the promotion of full | cial position of consumers considerably and now make ! it possible for them to undertake large new com- mitments, An article in the Federal Reserve Bulletin shows clearly the need for retaining the restrictions in the immediate future. Available savings plus high current { incom‘és make it certain there will be more than adequate demand for all the supplies of consumers'| durable goods which may be made available in the coming months. By releasing the brakes on install- ment credit, the already large potential demand would | be augmented considerably and the lack of balance with available supplies would be aggravated. The | study points out that “it will be far better to preserve the unused credit period after the first strong de- mands for consumers’ durable goods will have been satisfied, and when support for a high level of | production and employment will be needed.” By | retaining these controls, part of the potential demand, | in what ptomises to be a most acute area of the economy, can bc bottled up for release at a later date when pressures will be less acute.

The Federal Reserve Board’s analysis is based upon the assumption that inflationary price increases will be the serious problem during the transition period. In contrast, the War Labor Board seems to assume that the prob- |lem will be deflation, while the OPA expects that “serious danger of inflation will still exist” during the transition period.

After expressing his full support of the Murr bill's purposes, he said in a letter to Senator Wagner: “I am afraid the program will fail if it is not imple- | mented by appropriate measures that will auto-| matically swing the pendulum in the right direction | and keep it from swinging too far. o this end I | suggest that there be incorporated in the bill specific | | statements of policy with respect to (a) taxation, | (b) social security, and (c) public works and con- | !wrvalion, Two additional statements of policy are | needed which I do not feel able to formulate, namely, | |« stabilization of the economic position of agricul- | ture at a high level, and (e) the association into a full employment program of policies on Federal lend- ing harmonious with the balance of the program.” i What Mr. Ruml calls for, in short, is an integrated ‘de(‘ral economic policy for the postwar period. And, | indeed, it seems self-evident that no legislative meas- |ure to encourage the maintenance of full production | can be effective unless it takes into account all the . major factors governing the operation of our national | |economy. The fact is that we have no rounded | | economic program now—even for the imminent prob- | |lems of reconversion. There is no clen{[y enunciated | long-range Administration policy on ~taxation, for | instance, nor, for that matter, on any of the other topics enumerated by Mr. Ruml. Of itself, the Murray bill is scarcelv more than an acknowledgment | employment. Whether or not it is feasible to in clear that such statements of policy should be formu- | Jated. Without them, Congress cannot legisiute informedly. The formulation of a rounded economic policy is an executive responsibility. There seems no doubt | that the Mprray bill is going to be ohe of the major projects of the Truman Administration. This is plain not only from the indorsements of it which have come recently from Judge Vinson and from Secretary Wallace but also from the report on full employment which Mr. Truman himself, when he was still a Senator, made in collaboration with Senator Murray. In our judgment the President could take no more effective step to promote realistic discussion on full employment than to request the preparation of a balanced and consistent economic program within the framework of which full employment could be aimed at. We urge the President to form the department heads into a committee, put them to work, and then report to Congress with a concrete plan. He could do nothing which would afford a more salutary stimulus to intelligent discussion. recently.
