Let's not deceive ourselves by the belief that the danger 's over—just because the war is won;
And let's remember that inflation is always followed by deflation with its misery of bankrupt
businesses, mortgage foreclosures and unemployment.
It's your job and your savings that are at stake.
The danger of inflation, with its black shadow—deflation,—will remain as
long as goods are same and insufficient to meet demands, That may be
6 months, 12 months, 18 months. Only time will tell. As quickly as controls are unnecessary, they are dropped.
After nearly 6 years of war, industry cannot switch over to normal production
of civilian goods by a snap of the fingers. Reconversion takes time. The whole
system of raw materials,' abor and production has to be re-geared.
* *
In the meantime, price ceilings, rationing and other controls are the safeguard for every one of us. it's everybody's responsibility to help make them work.
trpo Keep on watching your buying. Don't rush to buy scarce goods.
Keep on saving your money. Put it into Victory bonds and War Savings
certificates.
Keep on supporting wage and price controls, and rationing.
Keep on fighting inflation and its black shadow... deflation.
This advertisement is issued by the Government of Canode to emphasize the 'importance of preventing a further increase In the cost of living now end deflation and unemploymentloten
