PRICE FIXING BY

Former New Jersey Governor
Gives Warning,

NEWARK, N J, Nov 8--Possibil-
ity of a general demand in this country
for continuation after the war of gov
ernmental price fixing was emphasized
by former Gov J. Franklin Fort, now a
member of the federal trade commits
sion in an address here yesterday.
"For the first time in the history Of
the country, due, of course, to the war, ="
said Mr.. Fort, the government is now
entering upon a price-fixing system.
II is a new field and it is a dangerous
field. If it can be confined to the war,
it may be safe. 1t certainly is now
helepful
"The experience Of most OF us is that
when a method accomplishes good un-
der a democratic form of government
it is very likely to insist upon the
method being continued where it has
been used for an emergency even after
the emergency ceases 1t is probable
that we are facing that situation
