Nor, for that matter its healthful aspects. For instance, since the first of the year purch: supplied an of Series E Savings Bonds have exceeded redemptions | by a sizable margin. That marked a reversal of the trend which began after, and even during, the Victory Loan drive. During the first quarter of this year E Bond purchases totaled $1,300,000,000, as compared with redemptions of $974,000,000. In all of 1946 r demptions exceeded purchases by a billion dollars. The sale—and redemption—of the E Bonds pro- vide an accurate index of public thrift habits are the type of bonds which can be bought only by individuals, and therefore are not influenced by large bloc purchases for commercial investment purposes. The Treasury figures tend to indicate, therefore that the public’s money isn't merely disappearing, or hasn't been dissipated, but, rather, is being saved pending the time our stocks of goods and prices are | in better balance. The backlog of our purchasing power, in other words, is being conserved — not burned out Food Prices (New York Times) The Senate-House Committee on the Economic Report. under the chairmanship of Senator Taft, has announced plans to make its own study of the question of high prices and the rising cost of living.

Council of Economic Advise: 4 despite duction in tne cost o1 living. How- ly, on farm and food prices. Since 1939 farm prices have risen about 180 per cent and food prices have risen 140 per cent, whereas prices other than farm | and food have risen only 60 per cent and iron and | steel prices have risen about 30 per cent ! The unbalance which prevails in the price struc- ture today is due primarily to this very sharp rise | in food prices and farm prices. This point is rein- forced by an examination of the changes in the con- | sumers’ price index since the beginning of 1946. Ap- proximately 70 per cent of the increase has been | attributable to the rise in food prices. THis rise in living costs has been the major factor underlying the demands for wage increases workers have found it increasingly difficult to get along on their prevailing wages. For other groups, namely, those with fixed | incomes, white-collar workers, Government employees. etc., relief can only come through declining prices | The study of the Committee on the Economic Re- port has two objectives: to ascertain the causes of the present high prices and the distortions in the price structure, and to determine what can be done about the problem. The first of these should not be p: ticularly difficult. There is nothing really mysterious /in the runaway rise in farm prices, given the present situation in which a heavy foreign drain on American agricultural commodities for world relief purpeses coincides with an unprecedented demand by the Am- erican public. In the second place, the Government was re- !luctant in the early months of the war to grapple firmly with price control, particularly in the field of agriculture. In consequence, farm prices had already risen by 70 per cent even before general price control was adopted in 1942, Other factors making for a one- way market in farm prices are the “parity” formula and the price floors to which the Covernment is committed under its program to prevent the danger | of a farm price collapse after the war and reconversion have passed. Most of these elements are beyond the control of the present Administration, but the latter has not been entirely guiltless. Its inept handling of its actually cornering the market in wheat added one' complication, at least, which the country might have been spared. More basically, of course, its predis- position toward meeting all economic problems by granting higher wages has played a decidedly im- portant part in raising prices in ail areas | Political considerations and the human element, it is clear therefore, have contributed vastly to laying the foundation for the price inflation which now | plagues us. And once one has laid a foundation, it is not easy to remove it without risking the collapse of | the structure which rests upen it. Grass Roots Opinion on the Closed Shop (New York Sun) | | ‘When Governor Robert D. Blue of Iowa placed his signature on a hill outlawing the closed shop, his State ! became the thirteenth to enact such a law since 1944. The Iowa statute, similar to that in these other States, | makes it unlawful to prevent any Iowan from werking because he is or is not a member of a labor union. It also forbids deduction of union dues through the ‘iNow in the list of States banning the closed shop are | | Arizona, Arknasas Florida, Georgia, Nebraska, New | Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, | Tennessee, exas and Virginia.
