ABBOTSFORD, SUMAS AND MATSQUI est 7 a ec at ; : . | Will Inflation Benefit ? | | One of the many results flowing out of the Great War was the develop- | ment of a narrow nationalism which found expression in many ways and hag had a profound effect upon not only national policies but in forms and| methods of government. Out of the Great War grew an economic warfare} more intense than in the years that preceded that titanic struggle. That | economic war led to the use of tariffs, quotas, and other trade restrictions on | @ scale hitherto unknown. All nations engaged in it, some reluctantly, but because they were forced into it by the actions of other nations. As this economic warfare Progressed it inevitably led to still another war,—a war of exchange. The value of the currency of one nation rose or fell in relation to the value of the currencies of other nations, and as it rose or fell it directly affected the trade of the nations as well as the whole financial structure of all, and the ability of one Sroup of people to meet its obligations to another group. From this it was but a short step to a third form of warfare now being waged,—a war of currencies. Some nations,—most of them,—abandoned the gold standard, but a few still adhere to it. Then began the struggle of the currencies. Abandoning the gold standard was a measure of inflation. The next step was the more or less gradual reduction of the value of national currencies in terms of gold, the object being to raise prices which had fallen to a disastrously low ebb. In other words, policies of inflation were embarked upon, But always in war, no matter the nature of the struggle, one party or country always endeavors to outdo the other. It is so in physical warfare; it is true in any tariff war. It is equally true in a war of inflation. When one country embarks upon a policy of inflation, even though it be primarily as a matter of domestic concern alone, it immediately has repercussions in other countries. So when one country proceeds with a policy of inflation, and per- Sists in it, sooner or later other countries will follow suit, and, in following suit, will, of course, seek to go other countries “one better.” Whatever may be said in favor of a degree of inflation on the one hand, or deflation on the other, to meet changing economic conditions,—and a country engaging in either the one policy or the other always proceeds on the assumption that great care will be exercised, and the policy fully con- All packages now moretobaccop trolled to prevent it getting out of hand,—the net result invariably is that it Imperial Tobacco Company of Canada, Ltd. contain «More Now we age of Turret Fine Cut—you’ Remember, too—you can et “Vogue” 8 Turret Fine Cut for the same money —and Poker Hands, too give every man who “rolls his own” more Turret Fine Cut for the same old price!

A policy of inflation is being applied in the United States at the present time. As always, President Roosevelt is anxious to keep it within bounds, but there are great and powerful influences at work to carry it far beyond what the President desires and has in mind. Can the situation be controlled? When} bri (o) r i money, in addition to the present inflationary policy of decreasing the gold value of the dollar. And Congress {is still supreme in the United States. It 0 much farther than the President and his advisers deem it wise to go. And Canada cannot be indifferent to or prove immune from the effects of United States policy, whatever it may be. Our trade and other relation- ships are too closely interwoven, and our financial undertakings, both public] duct. and private, so entwined that Canada will be directly affected. Whether we) like it or not, Canadian policy must, of necessity, be governed to some extent, —Possibly a large extent—by United States policy in this matter. Inflation and deflation, and their consequences, may be traced through- out the course of history, dating back to the years B.C., and the lessons of history teach us that inflation appears to have generally, if indeed, not always, ended in disaster, There was at first always the intention of control, but the movement usually ended by breaking all bounds.

The depression beginning in 1929 was preceded by wild speculation, en-! couraged and made possible by an expansion of credit, but encouraged and stimulated by installment selling on a scale never before witnessed, Many} were the warnings issued at the time this wholesale expansion of credit, and | unprecedented installment buying, was in progress. It could be seen by any-| one willing to pause and consider that such installment buying,—all based on tredit,—could not go on indefinitely; that a point must be reached when and where millions of individuals committed to installment payments- would reach the end of their purchasing power, having used up all their credit and) pledged all their resources. The saturation point was reached late in 1929,| and the crash followed. “For h Heenan ton—rhen-| @ that the indiscriminate and matism—I use Kruschen.
