that the currency and credit supply

ance of a permanency in our currency.
In other words, the advisory council
lakes no 6tock In the "baloney dollar"
which has been so strongly advocated
by Prof. George F. Warren, one of the
Important brain trust advisors to the
President.
In addition to the council's "critlclsni
of the currency policy of the adminis-
tration, It did not pull Its punches with
resfpect to the countless governmental
experiments In business. I quote that,
paragraph of us statement:
"A serious factor of rapidly increas-
ing Importance is the tendency of busi-
ness enterprises directly conducted
by government agencies to reach out
, fu ether and further into Aelds hereto-
fore occupied by private capital, there-
by destroying taxable values. The use
of government money in competition
with private business Is not only
paralyzing tj> private initiative but ex-
perience has amply demonstrated that
It Is costly, generally Inefficient, and
that its disastrous effects reach far be-
yond the limitation of the particular
Industry Immediately affected."

The council had much more te say
respecting other policies of the pres-
ent administration,
Fear Saving* including what it de-
Threatened scribed as a con-
stant -'threat of In-
flation," a condition that the council
felt was stifling personal thrift. It
asked directly whether there was any
inducement for an Individual to save
or to buy life insurance and preserve
earnings against the time when age
