Washington, Aug. Z. President
Wilson turned his attention today to
the subject Of war prices and paid a
personal visit to the federal trade
commission to urge expedition of in
vestigations to ascertain the costs of
producing materials required by the
government
At the presidents direction, the
commission has undertaken inquiries
to determine production costs on most
of the basic supplies needed for war
uses, including coal. coke, steel, iron.
petroleum, tin, aluminium, wire, zinc,
copper, lead, cement lumber and other
derivatives. Preliminary reports will
be Forthcoming within few weeks.

Announcement of a definite policy
respecting war purchases and prices
probably will be made soon. War prof
its will be kept to minimum and If
producers and manufacturers evince
any great unwillingness to supply the
country's war needs at reasonable
prices the governments power to COM
mandeer materials will be invoked.
The administrations hope is, however,
that this never will become necessary.
The biggest problem now occupying
officials studying the subject of war
prices is protection for the general
public.
Although the proposal is meeting
determined opposition, the administra :
ton intends that the allies shall share
with this government in reduced costs
for supplies.
Must Reduce Prices.
1t is realized, however, that heavy
government purchases will tend to
raise prices to private consumers and
this presents an obstacle that is caus-
ing considerable concern If there is
any way to accomplish it the admin
istration desires to keep prices gener-
ally down without resort to legisla-
ton.
The war board will meet again to-
morrow and probably will make
known buying policy SO far as
questions of priority and procedure
are concerned. The present plan is
to consolidate American and allied
government war purchases through
the central purchasing committee,
which is a part Of the war board.

piece of Legislative strategy. 1t may

Deploring what he termed the
