raising of world prices in general harder, however they may react within a particular area. To raiso prices action must be taken not upon the supply of goods, but upon the demand for them, including the supply of means of payment as a factor in the de- mand. It cannot be done with out the aid of a banking policy designed to permit the means of payment to become plentiful enough to sustain an enlarged output of goods and services at a higher level of prices. But the problem is not purely mone- tary. There must, side by side with the reflationary banking policy which is an indispensable condition of success, be a rella tionary economic policy as well; otherwise, the deflationary effects of public "economy" will easily suffer to wipe out all that monetary expansion sets out to achieve, False economy will can- ce purchasing power faster than the banks can create it, and de- flate prices more rapidly than the banks can hope to reflate them.
