And unless authors and composers--who very often are not accepted "theater people" with ready made connections--are already wired in to one organization or another, the alternative for the sake...

...complexity of the current inflation and the lack of agreement on feasible solutions, even among experts. These are important pluses. Beyond that, much depends on how President Ford weighs conflicting advice and melds it into a program. He may have missed an opportunity in pre-summit meetings to enlist the cooperation of labor and business in moderating wage settlements in exchange for Government agreement to reduce taxes. The major task before us is to prevent the commodity price inflation of the past two years from getting built into wages. If that happens, we will have inflation for a long time...
