absent friends i dreamed that i paid 500 for a haircut arid 50 00 for a pair of cardboard shoes i dreamed that we had ho wartiriie controls on prices profits or wages and that we hadnt had the sense to v organize the distribution of supplies all the way down the line v i dreamed that because every- one was making more money and spending it prices were skyroc keting all the sales to buy higher stores looked like fire with people scrambling before prices went still panicky people were buying things they didnt need and hoarding everything they could get their hands on i dreamed that everybody had to fight to get more money and that in this mad race wages and salaries were falling behind i dreamed the hand of everyone was against his neighbour with each of us blaming thcothcr fel low for his troubles with everybody for himself no matter what it cost in the long run and no matter how it hurt the war effortr wnthank t to realize wlthrelief that i live in a country where things are sane and stable where the cost of living has been kept within bounds to realize that with out the safeguards thatihave headed off inflation my night mare might have be come a reality i to realize that prices and wages production costs and selling prices are in separably linked together to remind myself that th dan ger is mill pressing and that we mutt continue tohold firm and that means everybody
