B. M. Baruch. chairman of the War Industries board has authorized the following statement denying a report that his board is planning to regulate retail prices:
 Through error it was recently re- ported and widely circulated that the War Industries Board was about to undertake the regulation of all retail prices by compelling retailers to brand all goods with their cost prices. To pre- vent the further spread of the report and to remove any confusion which ex- ists, the War Industries Board wishes | to make its position clear. The board has treated matters of prices of raw materials, of manufac- tured products, and of wholesale dis | tribution. An effort is being made tc adjust a fair scale of retail prices | based upon the cost of production, ir CO., operation with the various indus. tries, which are attacking the problem under the guidance of the board in g spirit of cooperation and fair mind. edness.
 The board believes that this method will bring about beneficial results. Nc action ever has been or will be taker | by this board affecting the interests O. any industry, except after consultation with representatives of that industry.
 Tt should be said that the War In.
 dustries Board is deeply concerned
 over the whole question of retail price
 and is intent upon gaining the suppor
 of the various industries so that tn public may be assured of fair deal"-

Now that the president has asked each city and state in The union 10 exceed it's allotment as % final answer to any idea Germany may have of the slackening up of the country's effort, the local managers are beginning to set their figures yet a great deal higher. There is no doubt but that if the farmers could arrange some way for an initial payment with out taking money they fear will have to ho used for cotton picking, the final total would be a magnificent one.
