BAILEY HAS PRICE
 RISE THEORY NOW

New Haven, Jan. 2-Professor Will liam B. Bailey has returned from the conventions of the Economic and Sta tistical Associations of the United States relative to the high cost of liv- 6ng. held in Washington during the past week He did not give as much attention to the conventions as he would have desired on account of be- ing occupied with his work of tbuiat- ipg In the census bureau He has been for a number of years engaged in making census monographs for the government on the three subjects of sex. age and marital conditions.
 Although he has not given particu- lar thought to the industrial aspect of the high cost of living, he agrees with Professor Fisher in at least one respect that the increase in the quan- tfty of gold and the decrease En the purchasing power of the same metal of living.
 He believes that the rise in the cost of food products is due to the unusual demand made upon the land for food, and the dearth of labor available to garner the food supply that Is produc- ed. He believes that with the vide spread application of machinery to the process of gathering and prepar- ing food products the supply will be- come more directly accessible to the ultimate consumer.
 The cost of the manufactured arti- cIes," said Professor Bailey. ''has not materially increased within the past few years. but it is in the food pro ducts that the pinch in boosted prices is felt.
 ''It is the old question of the supply of food products being unequal to the demand. There is not enough land In the first place to supply the food pro- ducts necessary for the sustenance of life, and in the second place where there is sufficient land of sufficient fertility there are not enough men at hand to work it. Too many people and too little food to supply them make the price of the same food high CT.
 ''The soil becomes inadequate to meet the demands of so many millions steadily multiplying. The youngpeo- pie are all flocking to the great cities and there Is no one left to work the soil. With the widespread applica- tion of machinery to the needs of the farm producer the food will be more quF ckly marketed and reach the ulti- mate consumer in greater quanti- ties.''
 Among those who gave papers at the conventions was Professor H. B. Far child of Yale, who spoke on The Re- striction of Immigration"
