Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 3, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky More on inflation Many a person feels better with a slightly elevated temperature so in the economic system the Early moments of an inflation seem very pleasant indeed. There is More Money around. There is More credit. Those who go in for various speculations feel that they Are millionaires and that they can throw Money about. Their women buy More expensive gear and their restaurant Bills rocket. Even workmen find the earlier phases of an inflation lots of fun. Who needs cheap cars Why buy second hand cars get Only the Best. A Down payment on everything theres plenty More where this came from. The next stage it an inflation principally the salaried and White Collar people Public officials clergymen teachers professors and the like it affects what in our country is regarded As the Best element those who keep the nation going. Prices go up salaries Are stationary the Standard of living very slowly goes Down. Also at such a time those who live on pensions on the income from Bonds from life insurance policies become worried because somehow they cannot live on their incomes As Well As they did a year ago or the year before that. They Are not yet in trouble but they do complain tile worker in this stage is better off. His Union fights for higher wages and gets it. In the United states some industries have Cost of living escalator clauses which provide for an automatic raise in wages when the Price Index rises. As Long As purchases continue in the Basic industrie.1 the worker is satisfied Bur in the marginal industries there is panic. There buyers resistance asserts itself Early and unemployment appears. This also is True in the smaller merchandising units. In the United states for reasons unrelated to the Economy the Stock Market is regarded by Many As an Index to economic conditions. It is never so. The panic of 1929 which was in the making from 1921 on j and which first hit Japan and then moved around the world did not show up in the United states in a i i 1929 when it became a tragedy j co cause of its velocity and Universal effect. As a matter of fact the Stock Market moved upward As the economic Well being of the country moved downward. Many of those who jumped out of windows when they thought the end of the world had come never really had any solid equities in anything. The Farmer usually is Safe in a period of depression because he can grow his own food and he can eat. American agriculture in some respects presents exceptional circumstances because of the unusual High Standard of life for agricultural workers compared with similar workers in other countries the specialisation of production the High Cost of agricultural machinery the dependence of the Farmer upon j borrowed capital to move his crop in a word. Tile american Farmer us not a peasant he is on the whole a Middle class businessman using capitalized machinery of a High order. He no longer is self j sufficient nor is his life without big City associations. Therefore an extreme inflationary period can hit him hard. Nevertheless in bad times the Farmer becomes increasingly important As government faces the demand for food from the unemployed proletariat in Tho Industrial centers. The Farmer must produce whether times Are Good or bad if individuals cannot pay. Government must with some acceptable currency if Only to avoid revolution. The final stage of every inflationary period hits the upper Middle classes and the very Rich most drastically. Both groups always try to protect themselves in Advance. Some Send their liquid assets to other countries which is now being done by an unusually Large number of americans. Some arc fortunate and manage to keep most of their Money. Others buy stocks As a hedge they always lose their Money Iii tilt end. Some invest in diamonds and other gems. They survive if they have other sources of income so that they can eat. Otherwise they have to sell at a sacrifice. It has been established that stones Are a Good hedge against inflation. Governments fear the political consequences of fighting an India non. It too often Means putting a i ceiling on profits wages prices and i credit a on everything. It often requires a Sharp control of currency. Governments usually delay imposing controls until it is too late. A copyright 1958. King features Syndicate inc. Vol. 80, no. 239 it.
