Fling high thy spray of human tears.

And pour Thorn in the pits Of hell

Stabilizcr Is REQUIRED

N.Y. THIN two or three sentences, Herbert
Wv c. Hoover. in his statement to Senators
who sought information, has compressed the
meaning of the nations food problem, SO
far as that problem relates to costs. 1.-The
aim is to stabilize prices and thus eliminate
speculation he said. THE balance wheel
for stabilizing prices is gone. We need On
artificial balance wheel" There is the
whole truth and the whole need.
All Europe, with the exception Of the CEN
tral powers. has been bidding for America S
food products. Europes necessities have
been so great and so pressing and her own
production SO limited that prices have been
disregarded. The stabilizer has disappeared,
and must be replaced. Only governmental
control, salely exercised, will supply the
deficiency Without such control the specu-
lator Will consume tremendous share OF
the national wealth and to that degree de-
crease the nations capacity for service in
every field.

NJ EW YORK is much excited and the coun-
