Mrs. Lansing E1eeIIentIy
Fitted Fer Big Task.

As the wife OF the Secretary of
State, Mrs. Lansing has had upon her
slender shoulders much OF the pleas
ant burden OF the entertainment OF
visiting notables. and fortunately she
is fitted for the role OF officisI hostess
by birth, breeding, and wide expert
ence Of official life. She has given
much care and thought TO the series
OF parties which she and the Secre-
tary have given for the various visit
ing missions at the Pan American
Union Building. to the end that. al
though of equal brillian>e and i'm
portance, each boosted certain
touches OF individuality and had its
own particular flavor.
To John Barrett, Director General
OF the Pan American Union, and his
stan, particularly Capt Hiram f.
Mitchell, superintendent OF grounds,
must. however, be given much of the
credit for the smoothness Nth which
all OF these parties have been man
aged and for the perfection and de-
tailed beauty of the ARRANGEMENTS.
On each occasion Mr.. Ba-re.= and
Captain Mitchell have personally 81
pervised the preparations. ami with
their aides have worked like Trojans
to see that everything was in readi-
ness.
Indeed, Mr.. Barrett refused an in
vitation to be the guest OF 5000
women in Chicago to be here for the
garden party for the Belgian mission
and to make sure that nothing was
neglected in the way OF preparations.
AS for Captain Mitchell. I hear that
he made himself III by the amount of
time and close attention he devoted
to beautifying the grounds for these
two al fresco parties.

PRICE REGULATION A FIXTURE

In view of the immense benefits arising from many of the war meas urcs adopted by the bclligerent gov ernments to tide them over the great quircs no special gift of disccrnment to see that many of them will re- main after the war as fixtures in the general economic systems Of the na- tions by which they have been employ ed.
 Government price regulation, for in stance, adopted as a war policy by the bclligcrents to prevent extortionate prices, will undoubtedly continue in peace and will eventually become an established province of government in all civilized nations.
 Although policy Of distinctly rev olutionary order, the fact that 1t is tho only proper and sufficient method of dealing with the trust problem and other economic abuses which tend to opprcss the masses, has become so ap- parent that it can hardly be douted that popular sentiment will force the adoption Of equal or similar policies after the present emergency is re- moved. No such revolution id gov4 crnment policy was ever sustained by g'eator rnarimity of opinion than this one is now.
 The tendency toward organiza ton. consolidation and o-operation has be- come so Irresistible throughout the world in the past generation that it can be compared only with the mighty forces of nature. And the result has been that practically every commodity or existence has been brought under the domination of a system which per- mits m almost arbitrary control of production and distribution and m attendant increase in the prices of those commodities.
 In general sense the system re- sembles series of little trusts. which, although small. possess q capacity to raise prices, rob weaker rivals and op- press the public, scarcely less powerful than these greater ones which we have grown accustomed to denounce as ex-

anpleS or uncontfOled fapaClty. Eighteen years of fruitless and cost ly persecution of the trusts have pretty thoroughly convinced the Amer jean people that they are so firmly en- trenched that they cannot be broken
 Nine or ten congresses have met and wrestlcd with the trust problem and passed away. leaving it still unsolved. since the passage of the anti trust law in 1890. Legislature ofter legis- lature in various states has tried to
 make the law more effective but the trusts have confined to grow and prosper. The supreme court of the United States has heard the question discussed for years by some of the brightest minds in the country and has handed d6wu>& number of important decisions airing the trusts dis solved.
 And tb Jhly practical result of all these er@I has been to make the trusts C lge their names alter their forms of ganization or their personnel and to cl ge some of their methods.
 No legal fs mula or decree and no leg islative enactment has been able to restrain their growth.
 As result of this the people have come to realize that it is futile to at tempt to dissolve trust combinations and are in little sympathy with efforts in that direction.
 They understand. however, that when any productive business which vitally affects the life and welfare of the community becomes sufficiently organized to arbitrarily fix the price of its products. it undoubtedly becomes
 the right. as 1t is the duty of the gov ernment 10 interfere on behalf of the consuming public. to the end that they shall not become the victims of vicious and unwarranted extortion.
 And the war has taught them that price control by the government is the only reliable solution of the problem of controlling the trust and protecting the general prosperity from trustlike activities.
