...weeks ago, the White House indicated that further tightening of the money supply by the Federal Reserve might endanger the U.S. economic recovery. Last week Burns replied somewhat testily. In a speech at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash., he said he had no intention of "letting the money supply grow at a rate that will fuel the fires of inflation."
