Inflation Cuts Benea 111 Man seems to deal more capably with unavoidable troubles than with those he brings down on himself. In the last 20 years, we have made better progress in overcoming physical diseases, which come from nature, than in overcoming inflation?an entirely man-made affliction. Thorp i? nn (inn cimnln .?v planation for inflation. But chiefly, the cause is a childish insistence upon eating our cake and having it, too. Inflation takes place when government spending gets too far ahead of revenues. Inflation also occurs when the costs of operating the private economy rise faster than productivity values. :hly by and _ of Clinton ( ~/t\ nJvV^\J jtton Mills, under the Claude A.

THE CLOTHMAKER PROGRESS IS FOR ALL OF US Productivity has doubled in the last 30 years or so. That is, the amount of goods an average American worker can turn out in one hour has increased by 100 per cent over the past three decades. Although productivity usually is measured as output per man-hour, the fact that it. has doubled in 30 vears doos not mean that industrial employees of today are working twice as hard ? or that they are twice as skillful. There are numerous reasons for advances in productivity. Certainly employee skills and cooperation are important factors. But chiefly, output per man-hour is increased by the use of better machines, equipment and methods. In our industrial economy, an increase in productivity is simply another term for progress. And in a complex society such as ours, progress depends upon the contributions of all?whether as employees, consumers, or investors. Consumers' dollars help to make productivity increases possible. Consumers are entitled to benefit, through lower prices or better values. Investors contribute directly to better plants and equip men i and deserve rewards. Employees should and do share in the fruits of productivity advances. But no group is entitled to all of productivity's benefits. In a free nation, nobody "owns" progress. The Weaver Mv life is but a weaving Between my Lord and me; I cannot choose the colors He worketh steadily.
