As the cost of defending the United States and the Western democracies continues to mount in astronomical proportions, how can we control the inflationary spiral ? What measures should be taken to preserve a sound economy throughout the years of rearmament and mobilization ? What is the prospect for the value of the dollar in a garrison state or in a war economy ? These and many others questions are considered by Mr. Simmons in this vital series of lectures "Mobilization and inflation", delivered in March, 1951, under the auspices of the four Associated Colleges at Claremont - Pomona, Scripps, Claremont Men's College, and Claremont College.
