The piece argues that government power to inspect corporate books and raise wages could extend to small businesses like grocers and barbers, risking a shift toward a controlled economy. It warns that wartime wage levels might become permanent, triggering broad price increases and reduced incentives for enterprise, drawing parallels to Germany and Italy and urging caution as the year ends.
