Wartime conditions can breed "auction fever" if we let them. Everything is in short supply. Many more people are able to bid. But ... if prices are bid up . . . all our dollans will lose some of their value. Even necessities could get out of reach. k What use is more money, if living costs go up still higher. ^ What good ore higher returns to business, if they are offset by higher costs. V What does the farmer gain if higher farm prices lead to depression and low prices later. We cannot continue a full war effort and prepare to 'meet the problems of the post-war period unless we maintain a stable and reasonable price level now.
