Government Inquiry Follows AEita-

LONDON, Jan, 2l--The Official bureau
issued the following Tonight:
The question of food supplies and the
rise in prices is being considered by a
Cabinet committee presided over by the
Premier"
This action is undoubtedly the outcome
of the increasing agitation, especially by
Labor members Of Parliament, against the
increased cost Of living. which, it ia as
serted, was caused by a deal between
merchants and shippers and was not justi-
fed by conditions arising out of the war.

By ROGER W. BABsoN.

The end OF this week will sec the close
Of the first six months a the war. As is
customary with most enterprises 1t is well
now 10 strike a trial balance and ascertain
roughly the cost OF this great conflict up
to the present time. There are two ways
of finding this cost One way Is by multi
plying the number Of weeks that the war
has lasted by the approximate cost per
week the other method IS by getting tho
total OF new loans which have been issued
by the various Governments during this
period.
At the beginning Of this war NJ. Leroy
Bcaulieu, tho noted French economist.
estimated that the cost would be about
$3.50. 100000 week. TO me this seemed
altogether too high. and my estimate was
about 100000, 900 a week The events
of the first six months have shown that
the estimate OF the Paris economist was
too high and that mine was too low. The
war has cost 10 date about S2S0. 900. 900 "A
week, or about 81 900 900 900, for the first
six months.
In going into these figures more care
fully find that the expenses are varying
with different countries in different ways
as the war progresses. At the beginning
~ the war II was costing England only
about 50. 900 900 day; two months ago
this had increased to s5,o00,000 a day,
and II is still on the increase. Every week
the war continues the cost to England will
lie greater. On the other hand. the FIRST
few weeks OF the war cost Germany about
S75o0O0O a day, while two months ago
this had decreased to S5.OOO,00O "A day.
