SAYS A PATcHID-UP PEACE
MEANS DESTRUCTION

LONDON. December 30.-ln New
Year message to the Primrose Club Earl
Curzon. member Of the war council.
says:
This is the third year of such mes
sage in circumstances of war. and we
all pray it may be the last year. 1t is
impossible however. to say as yet that
the end is in sight.
Signs of exhaustion are visible in
many quarters. peace kites are flown.
but meanwhile the struggle goes on.
and neither side has obtained that de-
cisive preponderance which points to
conclusive results.
1T seems likely that well into an
other year. perhaps longer. must we
continue this dreadful tragedy. that is
turning the world into hell and wreck
ing the brightest promise of nations.
Our spirit cannot falter. since an in
conclusive war or a patched-up peace
means for US not only humiliation, but
destruction"

WILL SOON REPORT
ON PAPER SHORTAGE
Federal Trade Commission Will
Make Recommendations for Al
leviating Existing Conditions.

The coming report of the federal
paper situation, containing the results
of the Investigation of the commission
into the question of an alleged paper
shortage and the increase in prices
and recommendations for alternating
the conditions. is looked forward to
with great deal of interest.
At intervals during the past month
the commission has been conducting
public hearings to give manufacturers.
to be heard on the figures compiled
by the commission during it's investi-
CATION. The memorandum presented
for the study of these parties con-
tanned the principal statistical facts
brought out in the economic branch of
the investigation, forming the data
from which the commission will make
its conclusions to be written in the final
report which is to go TO Congress.
Manufacturers Make No Statement.
The publishers and jobbers presented
their testimony, but the manufacturers
on FRIDAY QecIlned TO attempt TO uelNe
into the figures on the ground that they
did not have sufficient time to study
them, and if they asked for more time
it might put them. in the light of at
tempting to delay the report. This they
did not care to do. according to T. T.
Ansberry, counsel for the paper manu-
facturers. When the manufacturers re-
fused to give their testimony the COM
mission announced its hearings were
ended.
The commission is considering dat
collected through kilograms sent out
to manufacturers. publishers and job
bers to ascertain the supply and de-
mand with view to arranging a plan
for an equitable distribution of news
print paper. The suggestion that the
commission arrange a distribution plan
came from the manufacturers. and, if
it can be arranged. it is announced
as only temporary expedient. in no
way affecting the commissions final re-
port on the results of the investigation
1t may be necessary to hold further
conferences with the representatives of
publishers, jobbers and manufacturers
before the final distribution plan is de-
veloped.

"If conscription should prove the
only effective method to preserve the
existence of the state, | should con
slider it necessary and should not hes
itate to act accordingly" As to con
scripting wealth. he declared "thc
government has already acted on TINS
principle. Any further proposals in
that regard must be submitted to
parliament"
