We have, as everyone knows, been spinning around in an inflationary spiral which not so many months ago became very threatening and which today is again taking on new significance. It is essential that labor, industry and the public con centrate upon stopping it before it gets out of hand. Labor is going to demand higher wages just so long as prices continue to rise; and prices are going to continue to rise just as long as labor obtains higher wages. That is the whole story in a few words. High wages mean high pro duction costs. Neither contestant in the industrial picture is to blame for a theory which presupposes that wages can rise and prices remain static. This astute philosophy is the brain child of v certain economic fledglings developed by the New Deal heads in power for years.
