Problem Of Rising Prices

any- The

NE of the biggest bugbears which must confront the Socialists in the election campaign now beginning is the persistent rise in retail prices, notably in textiles and hardware-com- modities essential to every household. An effort has been made recently by the Government to reduce some of these prices, with varying and thing but spectacular success. Times reveals an interesting and Bignificant.contrast. The paper points out that although over, the last year the public has bought more textiles and clothing than in any recent year, the output for the home market has risen even faster. In short supply cannot catch up with demand and re- tail prices move accordingly.

This, however, is by no means the full story. It is indicated, for example, that the public bught heavily for many months In the expectation that rearmament would reduce supplies, and to forestall," as they hoped, a rise in prices. Now the public' buying spree has stopped;- instead of buying for stock people are. prepared to wait, since cotton and wool prices are now far below their peak. It is also suggested that some manu- facturers who are not, financially ́em. barrassed are deliberately selling at litile or no profit:In order to restore the confidence of the buyers, None of this, however, can be considered ovidence that prices should, þr could, be brought down. Not all the goods. sold cheaply aro' of the highest quality, and price reductions of these producte can hardly prove permanent, It is also argued that it would be falad to assume that raw cotton and wool prices · will fall below the average costs on which utility prices have been based. The coat of rayon, for instance, is likely to

go up. Manufacturing costs in textile and clothing industries are rising be- cause of increased 'wages. Increased `earnings throughout industry will serve the inflationary aggravate only to movement. In his analysis of the general problem, one commentator ob- servea that if prices were forced down by the natural abstinence of buyers to levels which were unremunerative to many producers there would be some unemployment in the clothing industry. If the Government were to succeed in Accentuating "consumer resistance"-it- would, as some critics in the trade .unions have said, ndd to this unemploy- ment. In the longer run the odds are that prices will move up rather than down when buying becomes more ac- tive. This poses the question how far in these circumstances can profits be reduced by price control. It is accept- ed by all the experts that prices con- trols can and do have complex effects, many of them disadvantageous to in dustry generally. The Chancellor of the Exchequer recently suggested the imposition of two price levels-n lower one for firms who would be free to make such profits as they could, and a higher one for firms who would be permitted only a fixed profit margin. But this system, it has been phasised, would not necessarily change the present pattern of prices at all. It would; however, tempt many firms to allow their costs to rise because this would raise their profits. In the final analysis the course of prices, must be determined by costs: The danger to the, British consumer is that the recent ex- hortations, and the proposed new. method of fixing prices, are most like ly to increase inefficiency and therefore to raise costs and with them prices..
