The^rVorlc? —- - By LESLIE EICHEL Central Prewa Staff Writer NEW YORK. Aug. IV- Better business conditions, better crops and detractions by emotional issues (such as political and religious con troversies) tend to take the mind off the major eoonomlc problems, some cl the leading economists are say ing. The major economic problems remain unsettled. The majority of the large nations of the world are living off prices pegged by artificial means at the present time. The United States be gan that course under the Hoover administration (through farm com modity manipulation) and has con tinued it intensively under the Roosevelt administration. Germany has pursued it through made work and restrictions. England refuses to stabilise the pound because of its desire to keep prices up at home (vii depreciated currency) while having them low elsewhere. Italy is badly regimented. The Soviet repub lic controls its crop prices, since crops are a government monopoly. Japan can and does push its prices up and down. France. fearful of what devalua tion did in the past, is bleeding lt noc rather than to manipulate prices up and down. Prance, fearful of what devalua tion did in tre past, is bleeding it self now rather than to manipulate prices further with currency. Aside from Prance, there probably is no government which could stay in office today if It did not peg prices. And the Prench cabinet is none too sure. Besides. It is forcing prices down—wages, rents, utilities, bread Perhaps the only thing that would defeat President Roosevelt would be the abandonment of pegged prices— or a sharp natural drop in prices. And any man who would defeat him would peg the prices Just as quickly, no matter what he said in an elec tion campaign. Thus, when the corrective does come, it is likely to be a natural one. but not the less sharp because of that, economists say. It certainly will be one decreed by the natural economic laws, for man himself dare make no oorrecthe now. And the .person who discusses it Is about as popular as the person who sug gested 1928-29 stock market prices were unnatural. The Tangle Could President Roosevelt, for ex ample. make any corrective now? Tlie United States is tangled up with other nations net only in currency manipulations and pegged prices, but in quotas in exchange restric tions. in tariffs, in the migrations of peoDles That Is. the United 8tates has Joined In with other na tions in the estoppage of the natural flow.
