New-York tribune., 1918-11-15

Wall Street finds at this moment
deep interest in the question of
Europe's food supply. A multitude
OF problems are bound up with it
perhaps, also, the whole course of
business and prosperity in this
country for the next two or three
years at least. One problem is the
stability Of governments, and with
this the stability Of European indus
try. So long, for example, as there
is no stable government in Russia
we cannot build up large export
trade with that country. Nor would
it mean prosperity to this country if
the spirit of Bolshevism should
sweep over Europe. On the other
hand, if we supply Europe with
foodstuffs, at the present level Of
prices, this means a continuance of
the huge trade balance in our favor
and assured prosperity for at least
one-third of the nation. With this
strong foundation to build upon,
there would be little question of the
general tendency Of American busi-
ness. 1t would indubitably be up
ward. For that matter, there is
little real ground for apprehension
for a nation which has piled up a
credit surplus from its foreign trade
of eleven billions in four years.
1t is not very clear why the War
Trade Board should favor the con-
tinuance of restrictions over foreign
trade until the middle of next year.
This position seems to be based upon
the view that there will be extraor-
dinary demands upon American in
dustry for home consumption and
that trade with outside nations must
wait. This may be true. But if it
were certainty the steel men, the
copper men, the coal men and others
would not be comforting with the
government as to the maintenance
of prices during the transition
period. If any man could be sure of
the course of business he could
easily, with the modern machinery
for speculation, acquire a large part
Of the worlds wealth in a lifetime.
1t is not clear why there should be
other than one Limitation upon for
eign commerce--that is, the ability
to find bottoms. Nothing could give
more confidence at the present mo-
ment than a brisk export demand
No one can yet determine how the
worlds shipping, so seriously cut by
the submarine, will distribute itself.
American exporters ought to be free
to compete with the shippers of any
other nation for all the available
tonnage offered. Any other kind Of
restriction is intolerable. The War
Trade Board was not created to OBJ
struct the return to normal condi-
tions. American manufacturers have
the keenest need at the present mo-
ment to know as quickly as they
may just how great the foreign de-
mand for American goods will be. =

Countless writers and some emf
nent statesmen find deep apprehen-
sion in the return of three millions
of the nations workers to produc-
tive industries and the conversion
of the war industries to meet the de-
mand of peace. There were equally
those who groaned loudest over the
great shortage of labor that exist
ed up to six days ago, and then ap-
parently in their minds stopped
short. All this recalls some of the
famous paradoxes of the French
economist Bastiat. If it is danger
Gus that the number of workers in
the country should be heavily aug
mented then it would be economical
ly profitable for the nation regular
ly to send abroad, and maintain at
public expense, an Expeditionary
Force. In reality the return to peace
ought to mean q marked increase
in industrial efficiency and lowered
costs of production. These are the
foundations of wealth, and not of
disaster.

TELLS LUXURY LOVERS
TO PAY WITHOUT Wall
Food Administrator Wilson Replies
to Plant Over Increased Price
Of Ice Cream Sodas,

Luxury lovers are not entitled to
any particular protection from
profiteers, is the belief Of Clarence
r. Wilson, District food administration
He contends that individuals who per-
sist in indulging in luxuries or nom
essentials should neither wall nor
moan when they are called upon to
pay what they consider. exorbitant
prices
This stand of the local administrator
was taken today when his notice was
called to increased ice cream soda
prices, put into effect today by q large
concern operating a chain of stores
in Washington, and was asked to use
the powers Of his office to prohibit
this increase,
In declining to take any action in
the matter, Administrator Wilson de-
clared that aside from the justice of
the increase he said his time could be
better occupied in guarding the inter-
to supply the necessary food articles
for her table and to see that Wash
ington's limited sugar supply is care
fully and honestly distributed,
He said further that the raising of
Ice cream soda prices from 10 cents
q glass to Is cents may be an ex-
cessive and unwarrAnted raise, but.
inasmuch as this article is purely an
unnecessary luxury, he could see no
reason why those persons who wished
to indulge in it should not pay.
An officer of the company which is
raising the ice cream soda price said
today that an increase was essential
because of the greatly increased cost
of materials used, especially so since
it is now necessary to supply an in
dividual container for each drink
served.
