| 37. To Holgar
J. Johnson (November 9, 1950)
As a constant reader of your excellently edited Money Matters, I see in it
reflection of the deep concern that is held by the insurance companies
over the progressing inflation. I wonder, however, how much they
hope to sweep back the tide with a broom of words. Is there not
some quest for action to be taken by the companies themselves
to preserve the tremendous equities involved in life insurance?
I wish to go on record as forecasting the complete collapse of
the political monetary system in total inflation with no possible
point of stabilization. When the insurance companies are prepared
to entertain this possibility, I shall be prepared to present
my plan for stabilizing their income and outgo on a monetary unit
dissociated from the dollar and proof against inflation.
