President May Ask Powers to Discuss High Cost of Living.
INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION
VIII Urge Taft to Invite Countries to Create an Investigating Board Problem Called More Urgent
 Than the Tariff

Washington.-Pres. Taft is about to be asked by distinguished public men and economists to invite the Powers of the world to join in the creation of an international commission to study the questions involved in the high cost of living. A decision to this ef feet was reached at one of the branch meetings of the American Economic Association held here.
 The proposal for the establishment of an international commission to study the causes for the high cost of living and to suggest remedies to the various Governments was made by Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale University. It was approved by Senators Lodge of Massachusetts, Shoot of Utah and Crawford of South Dakota, all of whom expressed the belief that Con gress undoubtedly would concur in any recommendation the President might make looking to the creation of such a body.
 The meeting at which the high cost of living was discussed was attended largely by members of the American Economic Association and other seien- lists. A resolution was passed in- structing Prof. Fisher to bring to the attention of President Taft the state ments of Senators Lodge, Shoot, Crawford and others who spoke in fa- vor of the creation of an international commission for the purpose named.
 Those who discussed the subject gave various causes for the present high range of prices. All agreed that prices If the necessities of life were relatively high in all countries and that all available data pointed to still higher prices the world over.
 The increase n the cost of produc- tion. higher wages, expansion of cred it, the increased output of gold and a material increase in the volume of other forms of circulating medium. industrial combination, organizations of middlemen, waste in production. militarism and the universal demand for more luxuries and comforts by people generally were among the causes assigned for the present high cost of living.
