Erickson Sees Freeze Cutting Interest Rates
Wilbur Erickson, president of the Federal Land Bank of Omaha, said the wage price and rents freeze could lower wholesale money costs and eventually reduce farmer loan rates. He noted bond money markets slid about one percent since the freeze and cautioned it may take time to judge long term effects. He stressed consumer and labor acceptance of controls to curb inflation and boost employment and farm demand, while warning the 10 percent import surcharge could curb foreign sales and that input price freezes would ease the cost price squeeze for farmers.
