Pleasant Iowa wednesday evening july 8, 1970price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain How do you fight an inflation thas has happened ? Munich a West Germany like the u.

Noo mile Lone an the weather vanes Point let contracts for pipeline projects construction contracts for the weather vanes Point to the left. Such a Man is or. Gerd tack be the chief executive of the big Siemens co., which is the general electric of West Germany. He was the one industrialist Titan encountered in several Days of interviewing who expressed distaste for efforts to replace Willy Brandts social democratic government be nne company a 2,000-mile-Long anhydrous ammonia transportation system have been awarded Raymond j. Hunt president announced today. Construction is to begin this week. They were awarded to Ohio pipeline construction company of Newark Ohio Natco inc. Of Pampa Texas and Joyce Western fore its full parliamentary term corporation of Andover new York. Expires some three years hence. An affable Sharp personality who did graduate work at Northwestern University in Chicago and the contracts cover construction of 8�?� main line in Iowa from the Iowa Missouri Border in Lee coun who is credited with knowing every to northwestward to a Point near hotel in Pakistan Sumatra and other out of the Way places which buy Siemens electrical and electronic goods or. Tacke tends to reject All the conventional Wisdom of the right. You can to fight an inflation he said once it is in full swing. The present German inflation a relatively mild one started eight months ago and the a a sickness that has resulted a is wages have already gone up. Prices have had to follow. The Bundesbank the German equivalent of the Federal Reserve wants to do something about the inflation but so or. Tacke asks a is it politically feasible a giving his own answer he says a i done to think it drastic action would produce a liquidity crisis which would keep industrialists from building the new plants that Are necessary to put More goods on the Market and so a fight the inflation of too or. Tacke says the West German unions Are Strong and the government depends on the unions. You can try to reason with the unions pointing out that their a catch up wage demands will result in an eight per cent inflation. But a reason a he hastens to add is not a a a modern commodity. The sensible thing to do is to let the unions enjoy their period of euphoria. After the wage Rise has been cancelled by the Price Rise they will be ready to reason again. In any event West Germany can to cry very much wages have risen by 7.1 per cent per year for ten years yet the Price level has been More or less stable Over the decade. A relaxed character or. Tacke trusts the German Workman to be reliable reasonable and industrious Over a 25-year Cycle. He does not worry too much about the behaviour of the anarchistic Young at the free University of Berlin. Every nation he says a has its Driftwood a in Santa Barbara Calif., As Well As in West Berlin. By a slip of the Tongue which could have been freudian or. Tacke included a a journalists among those who tend to shift from Job to Job. The a a Driftwood becomes conspicuous in times of Over employment. Anyone who wants to work can find a Job in West Germany As is proved by the presence of 1.7 million turks spaniards italians greeks and other foreigners. And there Are those 600,000 unfilled jobs. So the unemployment Are by definition those who either done to want to work or Are unemployed for mental or physical reasons. Too or. Tackers philosophy More or less coincides with that of the social democratic politicos who reject the Effort of their own minister of economics Karl Schiller to Force the Bundesbank restrictive policies on the ruling social democratic free democratic coalition. The sep leaders insist they must have a regard for what they Call a social symmetry a meaning that the unions have a right to a catch up with the employers who got the Breaks when or. Ludwig Erhard was the Chancellor. But to keep wage increases from having a future inflationary effect the sep talks about an a accrual of property policy. The idea would be to let the workers earn something extra on a deferred payment basis. The wage increases would be banked in special savings accounts for six years with the government subsidizing some of the blocked interest payments. The workers would get their Money plus the interest after the inflationary dangers had passed. As i seem to remember John Maynard Keynes in England sponsored a similar idea in an article on a How to pay for the whether it is a Good or a bad idea would depend on the state of the Economy six years hence when the a lured savings the sep does no to like to use the word a a forced would flood the Market with the deferred purchasing Power.
