Admission 55c On the home front the battle against inflation is now the most critical of all. The winning of this battle will contribute much to winning the war. It will contribute more than all else towards the solution of post-war problems. a e The purpose of Price, Control is to prevent infla- tion. Its purpose is to protect and maintain a basic standard of living. A higher money income will not be of any ad- vantage if, because prices are going up, our money buys Tess and Tess. To win the battle against unemployment in the post-war period, we must first of all win the battle against inflation. Salaries and wages are a large element, often the largest element, in the cost of everything we buy. If the Price Ceiling breaks down, in the long run all stand to lose. We must hold the line against inflation to assure victory in war. We must hold the line to provide a solid found- tion on which, after the war, to build a greater and a better Canada.
