inflate its currency professor carothers will be one of the speakers at the annual new york herald-tribune women's con ference on current problems which is to be held oct 12 and 13 at the waldorf-astoria hotel in new york following are the five points of the doctrine against inflation as they appear in the literary digest first — the depression is coming to an end without inflation second — there is ample currency and credit now available without inflation to bring prices to a prosperity level third — no depression in history has been ended by inflation fourth — there are no grounds for be lieving that inflation can end a depression fifth — extensive inflation in any coun try has brought national misery it is time for plain speaking in flation is not a desperate remedy for a desperate situation on the contrary it is an arbitrary and un necessary interference with a recov ery well begun its purpose is not to end depression but to relieve cer tain groups of people of their ob ligations and to permit the govern ment to spend money recklessly without balancing its budget . . . ," the advertisement concludes director to outline ath letic program tonight at alumni
