Preventive action is needed now, not after the inflationary process has become established." Arthur Burns, Ike's chief economic adviser, told a U.S. Chamber of Commerce symposium: "While the Government is lecturing the private community on the need for restraints in price and wage adjustment, it is continuing an expansionist monetary policy."
