III recognize fully the well founded OBJ

where the purchases Of war necessities in
a given commodity have reached such a
volume that the purchase OF these COM

sumption, the operation Of this p,irchas-
ing power becomes q condition OF price
fixing and, to my mind. all theories 60
by the board"
In the matter Of controlling the price
| Of meat there are three courses open, az
cording to Mr.. Hoover. There are:
To abandon direction Of war purchases
and conservation measures. because they
affect prices. and thereby stimulate pro-
fiteering and speculation, cause wage dis
content and instability by sub3ecting the
cost OF living to abnormal ductuAtion and
destroy systematic saving In consumption
by individuals.
To continue, as at present. unsatisfac-
tory direction Of large purchases with q
mixture Of partial national policy in pro-
duction and day to day dealing with
emergency.
To stabilize prices based upon cost OF
production at fair and stimulative profit
to the producer and with stabilization to
eliminate speculative risks and wasteful
practices and thus some gains for the
consumer.
The latter policy. Mr. Hoover said,
would have an important bearing 'on
agricultural production and permit Of q
long view being taken and supported in
assuring the producer Of fair returns.

Hoover said, is practical domination of
prices, which was recognized in pork
last September by rough assurance to
swine producers of a minimum of
$3.50 for their product. Present indi-
cations are that beef purchases will be
increased soon to the point where they
may affect prices materially.

There is a false feeling OF security, OF
confidence in the outcome OF false
pride, you might say. And then
comes the crushing news that the re-
port was false and that Germany is
as we'll equipped in war materials as
ever. The stories OF the starving OF
Germany we hope, and God forgive
the harshness OF the words, is true.
But there is a distinct possibility that
they may not be. Germany in the
past few months has gained vast
stretches OF new territory and III that
new territory are the wonderfully re-
sourceful fields OF Roumania and the
wheat fields OF Russia. GeTmany's
output OF munitions has not ceased.
which indicates that her factories at
least are not fraught with the dissen-
sion that must come from starvation.
In your own mind. do you believe that
q munitions factory would continue to
operate when its employees were en-
gagged in cannabalism? That is one
Of the new stories however, but we
cannot put a great deal OF credit in
it. The food situation in Germany
may be stringent; there may be $50
lated cases OF violence incident to
that strigency but it is too early TO
place our faith upon those stories as
a general condition. Let us pay no at
tention to TumoT, but continue on in
our work Of finally beating Prussia to
her knees. without stint, without
pause, until the diTge shall be rung
for Wilhelm and all his murderous
race. Let us no assimilatc a false
confidence or place our confidence in
any report designed TO raise our hopes
TO the very heights, only 10 com.
crashing down once more upon our
olscoVbery that that report was in
