MR. FORD’S GAMBLE
If one of California's picturesque, frock Coated gamblers
~of the days of '49° could have heard Henry Ford I! outline a
*““very big gamble’’ he proposes to take, he would have nodded
in shrewd approval.
Speaking before San Francisco’s Commonwealth Club,
' Ford declared his company expects to lose money on every
vehicle produced this year—yet intends to go ahead and fproduce to the limit as its contribution to the national war against
inflation.
“On the subject of losses,” he said, “I would like to note
that we could not take these chances if the Ford Motor Company had not been building up reserves to finance itself in
moments of emergency. It has become somewhat unfashionable to speak of making profits, as if it were an un-American
notion. But only out of profits can any established business
get the funds for research for better things and better ways of
doing business. Only out of profits can come higher wages improved working conditions and new opportunities for emloyers. ee
wee The old gambler might have shuddered at the reference
to working. But “‘building up reserves’’—that’s the idea he'd
have approved. Gamblers say you can’t win with ‘“‘scared
‘money’. Money -is ‘‘scared,”’ in :gambler’s parlance when a
gambler’s roll is so small he doesn’t dare take chances on losing a few hands. He becomes irresolute—his nerve fails him
—he’s through.
Because the Ford Motor Company's money isn’t “‘scared” Henry Ford II isn’t afraid to take a big chance. And that
is good news for Americans who want new autos as much as
they do not want inflation.—Contributed.,
THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE
Chester Bowles’ own description of the new stabilization
policy as a new “battle of the bulge” a partial yielding to inflationay pressure to ‘stop the break through, seal off the
bulge and continue to hold the line; is an admission of major
failues by the OPA.
Half a year ago the OPA assured the nation that infla
tion would never come; it would “hold the line’ inflexibly.
Now it is in retreat before inflationary forces that snapped its
artificial controls—forces it has helped create. Bowles’ confession is of national import in view of the administration’s
request that this carried over war time agency be given a blanket new lease on life for another full year.
Probably it would be unwise to terminate all price controls too suddenly and too soon. These ubiquitous controls
have become so interwoven with the nation’s economic fabric
that their instantaneous removal likely would result in temporary dislocation and Gonfusion. And some of the controls,
such as rent ceilings in overcrowded metropolitan centers,
should be continued in some measure as long as they are acutely needed and lifted gradually as local conditions warrant.
Yet, for the most part, OPAs regimentation has proved
evil in a score of instances where it has proved of emergency
benefit in one. The agency’s pricing blunders in the retail field
have only intensified shortages in many of the actual necessities of life instead of relieving them. The strange, inexplicable theory that it is possible to raise wages without a commensurate increase in the costs of production was found wholly unworkable. That colossal error was no small factor in forc‘ing the bulge which Bowles so frantically seeks to seal off
with an extension. of his artificial, hitherto futile props, ceilings and powerhouse directives.
e congress will do well to proceed cautiously and
thoughtfully in determining the future powers—and the life
span—of the OPA.—Contributed.
THE BAR SINISTER 4
Disclosure that a Russian spy ring has’ been seeking
atomic secrets in the U. S. and Canada made exciting news.
But of far more serious import to western nations is a fundamental belief of the Russian government as expressed in Stalin’s broadcast to the Russian people.
“Our Marxists declared that the capitalist system of world
economy conceals elements of crisis and war” Stalin said in
part. “Thus as a result of the first crisis in the development of
_ the capitalistic world economy the first world war arose. The
second world war arose as a result of the second crisis.”
_In other words, Stalin believes that further world wars
are inevitable if capitalism survives on global scale and there_ fore that unless capitalism is erased from the earth Russia
must resign herself to fighting again and may as well prepare
realistically for it.
