Mysteries
Of
Devaluation
NGE
is
supposed
to
be
one
of
I
the
deepest
mysteries
of
High
Finance.
We
have
been
told
that
only
banker?,
finance
ministers
and
those
engaged
in
world
commerce
can
understand
and
gTa?p
all
its
ramifications.'
What
does
the
aver-
age
manor
particularly
the
average
housewife,
know
about
high
finance.
And
yet
there
is
more
mist
than
mystery
about
it.
The
housewife
knows
a
great
deal
about
low
finance
in
making
ends
meet
with
her
limited
income.
She
knows
that,
when
the
prices
of
commodities
go
up,
the
value
of
her
dollar
goes
down
her
dollar
is
automatically
devaluated.
This
answer
may
have
beep
an
over-simplification
of
the
recent
financial
crisis
in
Britain.
But
the
problem
faced
by
Sir
Stafford
Cripps
in
drawing
up
and
balancing
his
budget
'is
essentially
a
domestic
one!'
When
it
was
announced
that
Sir
Staff
ord
had
devaluated
the
pound
sterling,
most
people
naturally
assumed
that
he
had
by
that
act
reduced
its
value.
Bu
t
the
real
value
of
the
pound
had
already
been
reduced
at
home
as
well
as
abroad,
and
ail
that
Sir
Stafford
did
yas
to
acknowledge
the
fact
officially.
There
never
was
a
time
when
the
British
worker
had
so
much
money
in
his
pocket
than
he
has
today,
and
yet
there
never
was
a
time
when
he
could
buy
so
little
with
3
pound.
The
purchasing
power
of
a
pound
note,
as
of
a
dollar
bill,
depends
upon
the
prices
of
goods,
and
that
power
falls
or
rises
with
the
fluctuations
of
the
markets.
The
prices
of
goods
are
determined
by
the
cost
of
production
and
servicing-,
plus
adljcinds
6f
taxes.
In
Britain
the
costs
of
production,
Slicing
and
taxation
are
at
an
all-time
high.
In
addition,
'the
Government
has,
by
its
export
policy,
created
a
shortage
of
home-made
commodities
which
tends
still
further
to
raise
prices
and
lower
the
purchasing-power
of
the
money
in
the
people's
pockets.
.
Thus
the
process
of
devaluation
has
been
accelerated
by
every
attempt
made
to
arrest
or
reverse
it.
Economic
planning-,
which
calls
for
controls
of
Indus-"
try
and
the
rationing
of
raw
materials
and
household
commodities,
created
discontent
among
the
workers,
'which
has
resulted
in
unofficial
strikes
and
demands
for
higher
and
higher
wages!
Nationalization
m
itself
was
a
costly
undertaking,
and
the
extension
of
free"
public
services,
bonuses
and
subsidies
added
to
government
expenditures
and
taxation.
;
However
good
the
intentions
of
the
Labor
Government
may
have
been,
the
launching
of
such
a
vast
'andcostly
program
of
experimentation
was
bound
to
he
financially
disastrous
at
a
time
when
the
nation's
resources
had
been
exhausted
by
the
greatest
of
all
wars.
An
impoverished
nation,
any
more
than
a
poor
man,
cannot
afford
to
gamble
with
its
meagre
.resources
on
a
theoretical
proposition.
That
is
what
the
Labor
Government
has
done,
and
it
appears
to
have
imparted
the
gambling
spirit
to
the
workers,
