All industries and all working groups are in some way or another interdependent. If price control is established at any place in the complex economic machine, the entire machine will be immediately affected. The normal processes 'of pro- duction and distribution will be thrown out of balance. And the next step as modern history abundantly proveswill be more and more controls, and more and more progress to- ward the police state and a wholly regimented economy. As William Henry Chamberlin, the distinguished foreign correspondent and historian recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal, the "experience of Britain and France proves beyond all reasonable doubt the dismal failure of attempts to eliminate the normal workings of the free market and the pricing system." In these countries, the black markets l have becbme scandals. The productivity of labor, industry and agriculture have all declinedno one works to capacity when initiative is unrewarded. That is the classic exper. fence with rationing, price control, and other structures which destroy a free supply and demand economy. In this ountry, prices are a fair reflection of present- day wages, purchasing power, consumer demand, the public ebt, and all the other factors which enter into the question. Everything is produced in competitionand everything " sold in competition between retail stores of many kinds, all of which are aggressively after public favor and patronage. That is what a free economy and a free market mean. And it is the only system that will efficiently supply the needs of a nation, with a minimum of shortages and a maximum of service. WITH DIGNITY AND CONFIDENCE The sole threat to the peace of the world lies in the deterioration in relations between the United States and the 8oviet Union, and the inability of these two powers to reconcile their policies. That problem will not be solved by "tough talk"nor by implications that we can be just as war-like as Russia. And it will not be solved by building up, among our own people, an almost pathological fear of Russia. Within their limitations, the Soviet leaders are realists. They are impressed by deedsnot by words. And that is true of all the European countries which sooner or later will have to make a choice between a totalitarian govern- ment and some form of democratic government. The influ- ence and prestige of the United States will grow in direct proportion to what we do rather what we say. We must, of course, mainSain our military strength. We must also show by demonstration that our system can out-produce any other system. We must prove beyond the shadow of a doubt our faith in free enterprise at home before we hope to "sell" the merits of free enterprise abroad. We must deal with all powers, Russia included, with dignity and confidence. That is the only possible road to a peaceful solution of world problems.
