The employment of "economic patent medicines" as cure for the high cost of living'was attacked by Mr. Hoover in his testimony before the legislative committee. He said what was re quired was a definite coordination of policies of readjustment and a policy of seeking a remedy through studying conditions under the surface of things. In amplifying opening statement Mr. Hoover declared there could be no question that the remedy lay in the reduction of credits and inflation and in vigorous regulation by the govern ment.
