Prices Hit Rock Bottom in May Says Gillette
Chicago March report by Burton Rascoge notes Halbert P. Gillette editor of Engineering and Contracting outlines a mathematical formula predicting a bottoming of commodity prices in May based on five variables from the Statistical Abstract. Gillette cites past tests and projections showing the lowest level near 1913-14 figures and argues for wage and price adjustments across sectors amid persistent declines. He also dismisses profiteering and extravagance as primary causes, urging government control of money supply and credit velocity to stabilize prices.
