manifest themselves in something that
on the face of it looks like the ordinary
and traditional form of speculation in
goods The concrete market fact is
stlll a mere exchange of goods against
money; there can never be anything
else. But, nevertheless, there are tho
two seperate forces present, where nor
mally and safely there should be only
one. 1t matters no whit to the specu-
lator whether his gain accrues through
one influence or the other, the falling
money or the rising goods. His base
lne IS money; his margin a money
margin. But when goods in general
are on the rise in terms of money. o
new influence is present to prompt the
present purchase OF goods with money
and especially with credit in money
terms-and to prompt the holding Of
the goods in view of the increment in
money that they promise to command.
thus 1t comes about that it is one Of
the problems of the food administra-
tion and of price control to eliminate
the speculator. He is using oppor-
tunities that our fiscal policy places
at his disposal on the money side to
operate against the interests Of society
on the goods side. Thus boarding be-
comes source. OF very real danger
rather than an important service. To
check it as we'll as to direct the ordin-
ary distribution of products between
present and future has become one OF
the chief duties and the serious hur
dens of the food administrations
duty, and a burden that Mr. Hoover has
not imposed upon himself or needless
ly assumed. Instead, it has been given
over as serious task into his hands.
He has neither lodged it nor bungled
it. On the whole he has done we'll. It
remains TO add solely that with a little
larger understanding Of the law of sup
ply and demand and with little better
appfeclaaon OF its actual and persist
ing validity, he might in some few re-
spects have done not little better.

Total credits Of S63 ,o53 ,276,500 we're
transferred to other parts Of the coun-

1918, by the Federal Reserve Bank, of

we're carried out at total cost of only
approximately $4,000.
When the Federal Reserve Bank sys-
TEN vas organized one Of the prin-
cipa features recognized by those re-
sponsihle for its inception was the
quick transferring of credit econom-
ically and scientifically from one part
of the country to the other.
The system works SO we'll now that
few people realize and many of the
banks do not appreciate how quickly
ferrcd without any expense whatever

System This is accomplished by the

tlcment is made between all of the
Federal reserve banks, the balances be-
ing settled by means Of the fund This

Low Prices and

So great and 50 imperative is this
adjustment Of the total supply to the
total need that doubt is expressed
whether a socialistic society must not
go to wreck by the very absence Of the
speculator. Possibly, however, gov
ernment regulation-as illustrated now
ny. the rationing programme and by
price nxatlon-might offer the neces-
sary solution. at any rate, we arc
now some distance along with trying

OF the changing relations Of supply and

result of the two speculative forces
may easily be that the new bad one
neutralizes the advantages from the
older and wholesome one-a disas-
trous speculation in the circulating
medium robbing the ordinary specasa-
