TAY pp---- Sa . NFLATION & | It's Blessing Joseph « / i 1 Our Professor in Political Econmy {9 down in Old. McGill, Montreal, taught A us 'that Inflation up to certain limits "is good, He: worked it out in this "way: Supposing there is a.war on as "at. present - and . everybody's wages were suddenly inflated 100%, then the price of all goods would naturally be RAE 'doubled (of course it would be impos- {5 / sible to double the quantity of most of 7 the goods). If one were in the habit 'of saving a certain portion of his 'wages the amount of money saved would be just doubled. It would not be of much benefit to-him just then, but if he could only manage to hold . on until normal times returned he would be in a far better position than if that inflation period had never come for he would have saved just double the smount of money that he otherwise would 'have done, and he would feel the benefit when times of stringency returned as they never fail to do periodically. = For that person a period of mild inflation is of great benefit. For that honest person too who has accumulated debts is often able to pay off his linbilities and like the Village Blacksmith, "Look the whole world in the face." But for the spendthrift who cannot keep a dollar and for the poor who must spend as they go to live, times of inflation are not a benefit, but a curse for théy too often do mot use \ {3 It's Bane The Gold Standard was proposed by Britain and accepted by the other nations just after the Battle of Waterloo and continugd to lend. fin- ancial stability to every. nation under the.sun till 1931 when Britain went off"the Gold Standard. 2 ¥ Then in 1936 the U.S.A. increased the value of gold about 76% by 1 'inflation that has been a blessing to every other nation 'in general and to herself in particular: During the present war many a Britisher has learned what it means to have his entire fortune swept away | in a few moments by one of those terrible bombs the enemies are drop- ing on their places of business and their homes, Like true Britishers ishment philosphically.
