KPIIAGI! E'S \DVICK
WASHINGTON. Nov V*. i \h
Further adiuinisrr.ii ion’ reac
tions were sought as to the 'vow
ed inrent’on of Dr. o. M. W.
Sprague to help build up "aroused
organized public opinion^’ * He
said it was necessary to keep fed
eral fiscal policies from bringing
"unreal rained inflation."
The search was rather difficult
because of a ruling by Morgan than
that all department information
must pass through designated
channels, but it is recalled that
Sprague’s resignation yesterday
was submitted informally to the
President. There was no notic
afble change in policy" s nce the re
signation came. It is said that
the stabilization policy urged by
Sprague after the World Economic
Conference would have tied the
American dollar to the British
pound.
No authoritative official here
had a forecast of whether the deci
sion at Warm Springs would be
for continued administration sil
ence or a counter word offensive
to meet that set ofT by Sprague’s
resignation and critcism ‘‘of the
policy as leading to unrestrained
inflation.”
