...fast rate means that the money supply -total checking account deposits and cash in circulation-can be permitted to grow slowly yet still keep the economy rolling in high gear. Burns maintains that velocity is high at present and that, at the same time, the money supply is growing too quickly; it was up $1.4 billion in the week ending Oct. 26.

...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." He added that unless Government policies shift to bolster business confidence, unemployment may remain high, and the economy could soon slip into another recession...
