Declining Incomes (New York Times) ar production have already resulted in a decline in consumers’ purchasing power, a decline which will become much larger in the months ahead. It is important that we evaluate these decl in their proper perspective. The wartime pressure for price increases has arisen fundamentally from the large expansion of consumer purchasing power, financed in part by bank credit. Because of wartime needs, it has not been possible to expand civilian supplies to meet this demand. Not until con- sumer mes and civilian supplies come back into balance will there bz rificant abatement of the pressure for price increases. It is rather paradoxical therefore, to find Judge Fred M. Vinson stating that in the immediate future “our task continues to be one of holding the line without, however, permitting a deflationary drop in purchasing power.” It must be emphasized that not all declines in purchasing power will be deflationary excess purchasing power is eliminated, the pressure on prices will be reduced and the task of holding the line will be considerably simplified. Such a decrease is not properly described as deflationary. If, on the other hand, measures are adopted to maintain the wartime volume of purchasing power, then it follows that the problem of holding the line will continue to a difficult one. Some groups are insisting that normal purchasing power situation during the war must be substantially maintained by permitting up- ward adjustments which will offset fa a reduction. In other words, we have had an abnormal situation so long that some people are beginning to believe that this is now the normal one and that any change would be misfortune. A drop in co purchasing power, however, would be a healtt an unhealthy, development, particularly to the that such a decline represented a reduction in the amount of new credit created by the banking sy: There is no merit in having a large number of pieces of paper (money), all of which cannot be converted into goods at the existing price level. Of course, if purchasing far because of an unduly large reduction in incomes, then a downward spiral might be inaugurated. But not all reductions would have this effect. It is a mis , therefore, to label all decreases in incomes as deflationary, particularly so long as the result will wipe out the present dangerous excess. Such a practice can only confuse the public mind and lead to the adoption of ill-advised policies.
