Inflation and peace talks echo in editorial portents
The column contrasts inflation in Greece and China with U.S. concerns, warns of asset erosion, and urges public vigilance. It cites Clare Booth Luce on the Sermon on the Mount as a enduring peace plan, recalls Sir Thomas More, and notes Walsh praising Spain while warning of Communism and secular erosion. It ends with a reflection on a coin bearing In God We Trust and Ecuador’s coin lacking inscriptions.
