A news article published in The
News and Courier reported on a na
tionwide survey of lumber. Once one
of the commodities high on the scarce
list, and long after the war still in
volved in a “gray market”, lumber
at last is becoming plentiful. Among
the poorer grades, prices are drop
ping sharply, other grades will follow.
From the textile manufacturing
centers comes word that inventories
are heavy. Goods are piling up in
warehouses. White shirts are avail
able everywhere. Even food costs
have stopped climbing. And so it
goes with scores and hundreds of
goods and services.
Prices are high. Luxuries always
have been expensive. But today more
people in the aggregate are able to
buy more things they want in the
United States than ever before in
the history of the world. As pro
duction continues to grow, prices
will have to come down—until wages
rise again and push the spiral higher.
So what is the use of controls? Ra
tioning, allotment, price ceilings in
evitably hold back a normal market
and eventually chose production into
hiding or create back markets. It
always happens that way, in the Un

Only one service would be per
formed by restoration of government
controls. That service is strictly po
