The National Outlook
By George Hagedorn
Discipline or Punishment?
Economists at least some of
them, still speak nostalgically
of the “discipline” imposed
on national and international
economic policies by the gold
standard as it operated in the
19th and early 20th centuries.
In recent years we heard sim
ilar language used in reference
to the deficit in our interna
tional transactions. Econo
mists, bankers and public
officials now speak of the dis
cipline of the balance of pay
ments.
This attitude has had, on
the whole, a salutary effect on
national policies. It has im
posed a restraint without
which we might have turned
to inflation in an attempt to
cure unemployment and to in
crease economic growth.
Yet many economists of the
“liberal” persuasion have
grown restive in this atmos
phere. They seem to regard
the balance-of-payments sit
uation not as a form of
discipline from which we can
ultimately benefit, but as a
form of unjust punishment
we should seek to evade.
This attitude is reflected in
the report on the “United
States Balance of Payments
in 1968.” prepared for the
government by a group at the
Brookings Institution. This
report advocates that a solu
tion be sought through agree
ments with other countries
which would provide a greater
amount of international li
quidity. This is viewed as de
sirable in itself as a means of

BVDDreS—U. S. Army Pfr Billy White greets Wolfgang Zink at
a hospital in Wuraburg. Germany. Pfc White has visited Wolf
gang often since last May, when he saved the boy’s life after an
automobile accident. The soldier saw the accident while on duty
driving an Army truck, stopped and rushed to the scene of th*
mishap where he applied artificial respiration and stopped heavy
bleeding with tourniquets. Pfc White is a member of the 15th In

financing an increased volume
of world trade. It would aWo
create the additional credit
deficit countries could borrow
to tide themselves over.
There may be some virtue
in taking another look at our
international monetary ar
rangements. However, as an
approach to the balance-of
payments problem this 100 k..-,
like circumvention rather
than acceptance of discipline.
As a second-best alternative,
the report suggests that flex
ible exchange rates be
adopted. In other words the
value of the dollar and other
currencies would be estab
lished, not by being pegged to
gold or to each other, but by
what buyers would pay for
them in free markets. This
system has been advocated by
other economists as consistent
with free markets generally.
But they usually add that it
would be fatal to adopt such
a system unless rigid imper
sonal restraints were placed
on internal monetary policy.
In presenting the report to
Congress, Mr. Walter S. Salant
commented: “Balance-of-pay
ments discipline ... is de
sirable only as a means to
ends that are desirable. It is
not desirable if it requires the
subordination of higher pri
ority objectives.”
This is mere toying with
words. There is no discipline
worthy of the name if its re
straints can be rejected on the
grounds that “higher priori
ties” so indicate.

Fewer Warnings,
More Arrests in
Future — Conner
ATLANTA (GPS) — Auto
drivers with a tendency to be
reckless and disregard traffic
laws would do well to improve
their ways in future when they
hit the open road in Georgia.
Reason: State troopers have
orders to crack down harder
than ever before on such viola
tors.
The new “get tough’’ policy
was announced by Col. H.
Lowell Conner, director of the
Georgia Department of Public
Safety, after 20 persons were
killed and 181 others injured
in a total of 378 accidents over
the recent prolonged Labor
Day holiday week-end.
“It’s a shame and a disgrace,”
declared the safety director,
“that 20 persons died and many
others were painfully injured
during this holiday period sim
ply because of the irresponsible
behavior of a few foolhardy
drivers. This slaughter of hu
man lives will continue as long
as individual drivers persist in
disobeying our traffic laws.
“These maniacs behind the
wheel think they are smart —
that is if they are still alive and
driving. They boast about how
fast they got from one place to
another, and how they beat the
law in doing it. They don’t stop
to think about killing or getting
killed, they just think about
not getting caught.
“Well, they’ll get caught
sooner or later. You can be sure
of that. Let’s hope it is sooner.
In our effort to make it as soon
as possible, we are serving
notice here and now that in
