consumer debt, based on installment

Other leading installment purchase

These all happen to be products

Curbing installment selling may j gpg leaning toward a flat tax, deduct-
help to solve more of the govera- ^ source, as in social security,
ment’s problems than merely freeing
materials for defense needs. The
president made a pareful analysis of
some of the other ways it would he4>
keep our economy in balance, and
concluded toat it would be helpful
in these ways: •
1. To assist in curbing unwarrant-
which tend to result when the supply
of goods is curtailed without corre-
spondiiig curtailment of demand.
2. To assist in. restraining general

program.
3. To aid in creating a backlog of
demand for consumers’ durable

4. To reatridn the development* of
