Eccles Urges Price Control Continuation To Prevent Inflation
Federal Reserve Board Chairman Marriner Eccles told the House Banking Committee that wage gains must come from profits, not prices, and warned against ending price controls to spur production. He urged a three step plan: cut the money supply, boost production, and extend price controls until supply and demand balance. He compared opposing price controls to rejecting vaccination and noted money supply today dwarfs prewar levels while demand remains backloged.
