...plans soon to be announced by Ford will be more vital than last week's meshing of new policymaking gears. The general shape of those plans now seems clear. Despite sharp differences over some specific measures, the summit conference produced no overwhelming objections from economists to the basic thrust of Ford's current policies: somewhat reduced Government spending and a continued mild crimp in the money supply. There was also general approval of Ford's plan to ease the impact of an economic slowdown on the poor through tax reforms and job programs...
...three London dailies, which proceeded to scoop the Conservative Party with its own platform. Entitled "Putting Britain First," the manifesto puts the fight against inflation above everything else, warning bluntly that "because of the economic crisis, there is no room for early improvement in living standards." The political thrust of the document was clearly aimed as much at wooing back the hundreds of thousands of usually Tory voters who had defected to the Liberals as it was against Labor...

This uncertainty makes the consumer pull back and save more. If we are successful in bringing down the big thrust of federal spending, convincing people that it and inflation can be controlled, then home building can start to move, sales tied to home building can begin to move-and that includes cars." The ultimate result, Greenspan believes, will be less unemployment as well as slower price rises...
