The notion that this is or any other country can have
"limited" price control is one of the most dangerous falla-

Price control must be a whole hog or none proposition.

It WouM be
difficult, indeed,
to forget our friends,
particularly at hristmcr.

o you, ,and how Sincerely
we wish for each
Of you the choicest
blesslzlgs-of Yuletide.
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.
