Disappearance Of Money
Leads to Primitive Ex-
change System.

Industrial conditions in Austria
have become so bad that money
has entirely disappeared and busi-
ness has reverted to primitive bar
ter. Grain Is the measure of value,
and the government is Offering to
trade various articles TO the farm
ers for it.
After three attempts to COM
mandeer grain and 1our without
getting enough for army purposes.
the government is now trying to
coax wheat out OF its hiding places
by offering, for example. a pouch
of smoking tobacco for q peck of
fiour or a peck and . half of
wheat, a pair of shoes for a barrel
Of -four or its equivalent in wheat;
a spool of thread for q bushel of
wheat; q shovel for two bushels
of wheat. and so on.
Information reaching the War
Trade Board shows equally inter-
esting conditions in Germany.
Soap has quite disappeared. 1t is
not used for toilet purposes except
by the very rich, who pay sl.25
for a little cake about the size of
silver dollar. The hardest thing
to get in Germany Is a spool OF
thread. AS much red tape Is re-
quired to buy one, even at the
price Of $3.50. as Is required now
in Washington to get a passport
to travel in France.
The clothing situation, owing to the
lack Of raw materials. Is becoming
desperate. In May the government
decided to get woolen clothes for the
army by q requlsition on the civil
population, but it did not yield the
clothes. The government threatered
TO 90 into households and take what
it required. What the outcome of
this effort has been Is not known

the Food Fight0
By HAROLD EDWIN BECHTOL.
Washington Herald staR Correspondent
London. Aug. Achievement con-
troll of the prices of food staples has
come to stay in Great Britain.
This 10 the opinion Of men high up
in the direction Of British food con-
troll.
For instance. Sir william Goode, Of
the Ministry of Food said today in an
interview for the Newspaper Enter
prise Association:
'I do not believe the prices OF es-
sential foodstuffs win ever again be
entirely uncontrolled.
THAT Is to say, / don't think the
people of this country will ever SUBJ
NIT to the profiteering in food staples
which has been eliminated by the set
ting UP OF control Of food and food
prices by the government.
Rationing to Disappear.
'I believe rationing, however. will
disappear after the war. Not the day
fighting ceases, nor even the day
peace is signed perhaps, but gradual
| ly."
Labor leaders simply take It for
granted now that control of staple
food prices will not be abandoned.
The working people intend TO benefit,
lessons Of the war.
/ And one OF those lessons has been
that the best way to curb the food
profiteer Is to sit on him through
broad government price control.
From July. 1914. to July. 1917. food
prices in Britain shot steadily and
rapidly upward. They doubled and
I more.
The price control was slapped on.
and the advance was quickly
checked. They dropped early this
year. Now they are rising again,
but slowly. They are not soaring as
they were before price control was
set up and as they threatened to
continue to soar.
| Price Control to Remain.
Price control was first made ef-
fective under the direction of the
late Lord Rhondda. And friends say
his personal view was that some
sort of price control OF essentials
would remain. This is also stated
to be the personal view of Lord
Rhondda's successor as food con-
troller, the Right Hon. J. p. CIynes.
NJ. p. though neither man ever
committed the Food ministry to any
policy on the matter.
As indicative of the success of
food price control and the rationing
system, by the way. the Food Min
istry is practically the only big
government department that is not
subjected to spasmodic. violent crit
icism, political or otherwise.
