Reducing the Cost of Liuing.

T7HREE committees in New York-one appoint
ed by the legislature, by the governor of
the state and one by the mayor of the city
recently made joint report food costs, after
quite diligent investigation.
The report disparageS all patented short cuts
to reduce the cost of living, such as chain OF
public markets and eliminating the middleman
without providing anybody to take his place. Far
from recommending prosecution of trusts
solution of the problem, it urges more trusts-that
is, more combination and cooperation
For example, it finds the cost of milk is need
lessy swollen by duplicate delivery services, wagons
of several companies running over the same route
day after day So it would permit the big milk
distributing companies to work together under
state supervision which would make sure that the
saving through joint delivery service went to
consumers.
1t finds that to transport given article of food
from its original destination in the city to the
kitchen of the consumer costs much more than to
transport it from its place of production, several
hundred miles away to the city. 1t thinks that
might be remedied by better organization of the
methods of handling foodstuhs in the city. 1t
recommends organized effort to educate house
wives in the purchase and preparation of foods,
beginning in the public schools.
1t points out that causes beyond the control
of city state have enhanced food prices; but it
thinks those might well be offset or min
imized by combined effort betterd organization
operation On the whole, it looks in the opposite
direction from those whose panacea consists in at
lacking combination; and it virtually says there is
no panacea, no short cut magic remedy
There are many remedial measures. but effort
in unison is the basic ingredient in all of, them.
Integration not dsintegraton, is the method

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 16. The
Tribune, which is the organ OF a small
Dutch party of revolutionary Social
lists, announces that it has been Off
cially invited by the Maximalists to
undertake telegraphic correspondence
with revolutionaries in Petrograd on
the question of peace movements

Bourgeois in Europe and America,
and keep the Russian revolutionary
movement Informed regarding politi-
cal events in the central powers and

accepted the task.
David Wynkoop, editor of the Trib-

information To be supplied would re-
late particularly to the entente ma

ment was better acquainted with af-
fairs in the central powers than in
