An Official Price-Level

The Federal Reserve Board has taken
a notable step that may have large con-
sequences. 1t is arranging with the
Bureau of Labor Statistics for the con-
struction Of a series of price indices.
These will have the advantage of show
ing the movements in prices Of different
groups of commodities and different
lines of industry and trade, as we'll as
in the general level of prices, "and hence
make possible a more intelligent ap-
praisal of the entire price situation" In
addition to all this, the board will give
figures OH a selected list of basic COM
nodities.
We already have three or four ex-
cellent tables--Dun's, Bradstreet's, "The
Annalists" and the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics. But this seeming multi
plication of tables will not be without
value. The slight differences between
the various indices will promote discus
sion and familiarize the public with the
Importance of price movements and
their meaning. The meticulous will
point out discrepancies that will be
called glaring, and the partisans of the
newer views will picture the remarkable
general concurrence Of the curves
The main thing is that powerful
body to whom has been intrusted the
stabilizng of our finances and currency
is beginning to see that the two are
inseparable and that the latter is now
their chief and great concern. The only
way that it can be proved that volume
of currency and prices are invariably
connected by rigid law is to show that
invariably a change in volume precedes
a price change and that this change is
always in a fixed direction Otherwise
you have merely an interesting hypoth
esis.
Bankers are men as a rule shy of
theories and with no very great interest
in economics. The Reserve Board could
have done hardly anything better than
its present project that would have
drawn the attention Of our bankers, and
we hope others, to what may be termed
the very core of economic theory. If
there is no cognizable relation between
money and prices, economics is merely 4
pastime for the dilettantc.

Wearing Down

AS the express or the subway train
hurtles you at forty to fifty miles an
hour through space, it is curious to
reflect that the very considerable power
that is behind this tremendous rush OF
energy is spent in grinding down the
very stuff that carries you at this
speed. AS the brakes are put on, as
the wheels crunch and grind and the
train at last comes to dead stop, a
considerable mass OF steel has been
ground up and more or less burned
away. But there is no other way. The
stops must be made. We demand speed.
We wish to be hurtled at fierce rate,
and the price Of all this is tremendously
increased waste.
1t is not very much different with the
wear and tear, the rush and grind of
the hurried existence of this hurrying
day. We have very considerably in
creased the equipment and very notably
increased the speed of the average man.
The loss of life in infancy is being cut
down to tithe of what it was hardly
two or three centuries ago, and even
less. Many plaques and diseases have
been more or less wiped out or fairly
brought to bay. A notably larger num-
Der of people come to maturity far

and the meciful help Of God" while it
is negotiation and debate, not surren-

With another twenty-four hours con-
temptation of the German peace often
slve, France is even more resolute. if
possible, that the Boche shall not escape
the consequences Of his diabolical in
tent and his outrageous conduct. IF
Germany wants peace she must without
discussion pay the full price for it as
dictated by the conquering Allies.
France can tolerate no haggling and
bargaining with the vandal whose
hands, dripping with blood, still hold
aloft the incendiary torch in her north
ern towns.
France intends that 10 peace shall
come to Germany except out of uncon,-
promising defeat, the complete down
fall of German militarism and full repa-
ration and restitution as the basis of
the treaty.
1t evidence were lacking of the una
nlmity of the Frenchmen on the deter
mlnatlon that Germany shall not by
peace negotiations now in the hour Of
her frantic distress evade the fate
hanging over her, it was supplied finally
and etfectualy last night in Paris by a
resolution adopted at the overflow OF
the Socialists meeting without a dis
sentlng vote, a resolution that the war
be prosecuted vigorously to the end and
that Germany be fully punished as the
only means Of securing permanent world
peace.

On Mr.. Konta
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the interest of common honesty
and common justice permit me to correct
some Of the most glaring msstatements
contained in article printed in The New
York Tribune under date of October i:
% alexander Konta, who received his
backing in the Hungarian Loyalty League
idea from George Creel, OF the Committee
Public Information, has spent between
100000 and 100000 of the nations
money without securing the result sought
by the committee"
This is absolutely untrue During the
nine months of its existence the American
Hungarian Loyalty Leag~e was assisted By
this committee TO the extent of $4,000,
every cent of which was spent under
closest audit
(2) by q special dispensation from
Creel, it is said Konta obtained permis-
sion to run propaganda in Hungarian
without the accompanying English trans-
lation regularly demanded OF publications
couched IN an enemy language"
This is absolutely untrue. No such spe-
clnl dispensation was ever given, nor Is ii
IN the power of this committee to give any
such dispensation to any one.
(o) lat the same time Konta ia said to
have spent $4,000 for advertising"
This is also untrue, absolutely and Ut
qualihedly.

Advice to the Lovelorn

SEEKS TO PROVE HIS LOVE
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am % and love girl of is. My
long working hours are keeping me
away from her; also 1 am not a good
love-letter writer. I badly need your
kindly advice. At our last meeting 1
said to her plainly, "I love YOU" She
doubted me. / told her had no ex-
perience in making love but was will
ing to do anything to show her the
truth, IL it was in my power. She
said, eyes. it is in your power, but
I am not going to tell you what you
should do. because it would be, too
easy for you then" what is the thing
she wants me to do for her?

I think you are extremely roman
tic, which is, of course. a desirable
quality in lover. Perhaps the girl
YOU love sees this trait in you and Is
taking advantage of it. in an innocent
way. Unless I were a clairvoyant l
couldn't possibly tell you what love-
test she has in mind to impose on you,

Persistence wins the day with many
girls, unless there is some rival in
the way. Do understand that when
you told her of your love you asked
her to marry you? There could
scarcely be a greater proof of love
than that.

the families of both. Young people
very often get acquainted with one
another's families, balancing snip
on their respective shoulders mean
time. They go looking for trouble
and invariably find it. They fail to
realize that the prospective "in-
laws" are as nervous and, likely,
upset over the meeting as they are.
They have failed to grasp that
faith and confidence bring faith and
confidence in return; that, in the
long run, one gets out of life about
the same proportion Of good or evil
as one contributes.
In love affairs the greatest tails
man is common sense. You would
not confide your salary, rent, in
come and outlay to haphazard ac-
quaintances, and yet many do not
hesitate to confide things infinitely
more private to them-things that
come back to one with the force of
a boomerang.
BY taking a little thought in ad-
vance most of the troubles incident
to love affairs could be averted.

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
LOVERS' OUARRELS.


Half the letters that come to me
relate to quarrels between people
who are in love or who imagine
themselves to be in love, or who
were once in love.
They quarrel over everything, or
nothing, as the case may be. Some
times there are several people in
volved in the genuine or imaginary
trouble, and sometimes the disa-
greement is duet between "a
lover and his lass"
And half the time I can't see
why they are all so wretchedly uh-
happy over some tr1viality that
might be adjusted with the small
est application of common sense.
The most fruitful source of trou-
BILE in all love affairs seems to be
the confidant, Enter the confidant
with trouble" the passage might
read, as if it were stage directions
instead of an extract from real life.
A line from recent letter reads:
"My girl friend advised me not to
have anything to do with the man
to whom l was engaged; now she
is going about with him herself"
quote from another letter: "My girl
chum, of many years standing, re-
peated> some remarks that l in
tended only in fun And still an
other: ~ asked her advice and she
when straight and told him every
thing"
Now all this trouble, and much
of the same sort might have been
saved by a little discretion and
discipline. Love is like murder, it
will out. Talking necessarily of the
adored one is characteristic symp-
tom of the tender passion and one
that is provocative OF endless mis-
cry.
If you must talk to someone
about Him talk to your mother or
to some older person of whose af-
fectionate interest you are assured.
If you would rather die than talk
to your mother" as one poor child
wrote to me, write everything you
intend to say and burn your letter.
This will have the effect OF get
ting the subject off your mind, tenn
porarily, and you run no risks with
a possibly foolish confidant.
Chattering Dangerous.
Bear in mind that nothing could
be more dangerous than this habit
of loosely chattering with the girls
who work with you, or the girls
who live in the adjoining fiat, or
the girls who go with you to the
movies. Under the stimulus OF let
ting yourself go, you probably say
far more than you intend to and
you are apt to give a wrong i'm
preston of the incident and, fur
thermore, you leave yourself en-
tirely at another's mercy.
"a shut mouth drops no trouble"
is an Oriental proverb that might
be acquired with profit by nearly all
young people. 1t is not always that
the confidant is deliberately false;
she may. be emily as indiscreet as
you are. Something you have said
impresses her as important, or not
