BEGIN AT HOME from October 5 to 11 this year. And every metropolis down to the tiniest village, should participate. Now, as never before, fire prevention is a public duty. For fire prevention is cf great and direct service to | national defense. Pea Wha most of us fail to realize is that oy Song prevention, to be successful, must literally begin at home. Defective furmaces, de- : fective wiring, accumulations of paper and rubbish, improperly stored flammable liquids,-such as paint and cleaning solvents, matches, cigarettes—such little things as these are the cause of hundreds of millions | a little effort and a little money will make your home safe. From the community point of view, one essential protection against fire is a | modern building code. These codes should be up to the highest standard, and should make such hazards as the existence of fire | traps impossible.

Tnere is general agreement that the situation demands positive action by the Government al- though there is wide disagree- {ment as to the proper remedy. Wholesale prices have risen steadily since June, 1940, and are | new about twenty per cent/above ar levels.. Retail “prices, ver, have shown inéreases te-@ marked .degree only for the |past several months. While the }eost of living is up about seven | per cent, the increase has been emphasized in the cost of food. If the cost of living continues to increase, there will inevit- ably arise renewed demands for jinereased wages, which in turn jwill mean higher production costs. The process will continue \througheut the entire price structure. The threat of serious | inflation is accentuated by heavy Government spending for de-; fense and the looming shortage jof goods for civilian -censump- | tion. Recently, Bernard M. Baruch, financier and chairman of the | 'War' Industries Board in the last | war; ‘Leon Henderson, head of the Adminiétration, } wy Morgenthau, « Jr., #Secre- tary of the Treasury, and Mar-) |riner S. Eccles, chairman of the |Federal Reserve Board, have ap- peared before the House Bank- fing and Currency Committee, which is now considering the hemergency price-fixing bill ad- vocated by the Administration. The complexity of the prob- lem confronting Congress is ap- parent in the disagreement ex- isting ‘between these officials as , to the proper means to be adopt- ed.
