With this estimate Walter Reuther took angry exception. Cried he: "Our present inflation is a rigged inflation based on prices arbitrarily set by a handful of executives of the major corporations who fix prices to maximize their profits rather than production and employment."

The Social Credit party, a depression-born agrarian movement that turned right with prosperity, now controls the governments of Alberta and British Columbia, plans a major push in Eastern Canada this year to build up its Parliamentary bloc of 15.
