...civilized life in the Western world-butter, for instance-may be in short supply simply because they will become too expensive to produce in volume. Otherwise, though, the '70s will be a decade with a food surplus, perhaps even a grain glut, that could lead to agricultural depression.

Such tough talk reflects a serious worry that is still shared by the majority of the board's members. They fear that even the slightest move toward easier money or lower interest rates would be misinterpreted by businessmen as a signal to get set for another jolt of inflation. In the minority at present, Board Members Sherman...
