Washington, D. C. Mar. 16 —
Yt>r many months one of the big
problems here has been that of
controlling . expenditures by the
public of the largest national in
come in the history of our
country. Heavy taxes, purchase of
defense bonds and necessary in
creases in prices have absorbed
some of this extra income, but
figures Just announced show that
there is a large surplus income
'which is not under control.
There is probably no one of us
who feels that he is not perfectly
capable of handling any extra in
come which he may be making,
and there are a large number
who are not making more money
than they have in past years, but
figures show that the purchasing
power of our nation as a whole
is now so much greater than the
goods available for purchase that
there will be serious inflation
unless our expenditures are
drastically supervised.
The department of commerce
reports our national income for
the year 1941 as $94,500,000,000,
which is 13 per cent above the
record formerly established in
1929. Furthermore, because of
lower prices today than in 1929,
the purchasing power of our in
come in 1941 is estimated to be
about 30 per cent higher than the
purchasing power of our 1929 in
come. Only about one-eighth of
this extra income is traced to war
expenditures.
But this is only the beginning.
Present estimates anticipate a
rise in national income this year
to $113,000,000,000, which is al
most three times as great as it
was in the depression year of
1032 and is 25 billion more than in
1929. It is also estimated that the
total value of civilian goods pro
duced during 1942 will not be over
$66,000,000,000—leaving 47 billion,
dollars of income \<rhich cannot
be used for purchases. Part of
that will be paid into income
taxes, part will go into defense
bonds, but there will still be a
sizable amount left over.
The years of effort made by
the New Deal to boost national
income is reversing itself and the
administration is now chiefly
concerned with keeping the in
come from getting out of hand.
In order to prevent this abnor
mal income from causing the sky
rocketing of prices, the Office of
Price Administration has adopted
the policy of announcing price
maximums on all necessities
which start to get out of hand.
So far, price maximums have
been set largely on products on
which there are severe shortages,
such as refrigerators, automobiles,
bicycles, washing machines, etc.,
but they can be anticipated later
on a wide range of expenditures
including foods and rents.
Another tightening up on in
stallment buying has been im
posed to aid in curbing purchases.
On many articles all payments
must be made within 15 months
and down payment minimums
will be 33 1-3 per cent. This will
include radios, refrigerators,
washing machines, vacuum
cleaners, bicycles, lawn mowers,
and many other products sold
largely on installments.
Although the government con-,
tinues to plan for making necessi
ties available to the public it is
clear that from now on there will
be no hesitation about cutting
down the civilian supply of most
any product if by so doing war
production can be increased. All
branches of the government are
now in agreement on this and ef
forts are being made to push
war production even beyond the
high goals set by the President
at the beginning of the year.
Reverses in the war have made
it increasingly evident that the
planes and ships we can produce

in the next few months may be
many times as valuable to us as
those we might produce a year or
two years from now. | No effort
will be spared to reach maximum
speed toward this end, no matter
what sacrifices the public will
have to make. The new Bureau of
Industry Operations, headed by
Philip D. Reed, chairman of the
board of the General Electric
company, has been charged with
the repsonsibility of seeing to it
that every available machine is
kept working 24 hours a day. Top
men in industry and business
have been named by Donald Nel
son to head 24 industry branches
under Mr. Reed.
Difficulties over the handling
of news which might be helpful
to the enemy have arisen fre
quently recently and the public
has clearly shown its objections
to the publishing of any news
r/hich appears to reveal vital in
formation.
Greatest objections have been
made about news released in
England which the papers here
iad voluntarily suppressed. The
"ecent story about a huge U. S.
convoy steaming toward Austra
lia, first appeared in an English
newspaper sent to the paper by
an English reporter on board an
American warship. American re
porters on, the same ship had not
sent out any stories. Steps have
since been taken to come to an
understanding with England on
censorship, since the navy de
partment and the President had
also been, disturbed by the pub
lished statement of a prominent
Engishman concerning the estab
lishment of a huge U. S. base in
England.
Bryon Price, U. S. director of
censorship, has stated that the
newspapers in this country have
done an excellent job of co-op- •
crating with censorship rules. j
