LECISL ALTON AND
AFTER WAR PLANS
COMMITTEE NAMED TO DEVISE
BEST MEANS OF ADJUSTING
INDUSTRIES, SAYS BARUcH
-OUTLINES DETAILS.

b. M. Baruch, chairman of the War
Industries Board, authorizes the fol-
lowing:
For some time to come, assuming
the armistice will be signed for a pc
Rod to be determined by the war
making agencies of the Government
Governments contracts must continue
on a wide scale. This circumstance
applies to a considerable share of
present contracts. AS the demand for
raw materials is lessened by the re-
duction of war requirements and the
cancellation of war contracts. if ana
when such cancellations be made, the
raw materials SO made available will
be relieved and allocated by the War
Industries Board for use in supplying
civilian and export demand which
through curtailment has been held in
check during the war.
In addition to the ordinary COM
mercial requirements there will be a
heavy flow of materials thus relieved
TO supply the demand for the great
unconstitutional work required by the
European countries. At the same
time, there is to be gradual lifting
of the restrictions and curtailments
that have been imposed upon indus
tries where the exigencies of the war
demanded it, SO as to allow as prompt
~ as possible free flow of all supplies
into peace channels. The War Indus
tries Board will continue to exercise
its functions until the peace treaty
is signed, to the end that the read
iustment of the matters on which it
has been acting may be made in as
orderly manner as possible.
A committee named by the Presi-
dent has been and is now at work
to devise the best mechanism of
bringing about the adjustment from
war to a peace basis. The report of
the committee may take the form of
suggesting legislation. The whole eff
feet of the readjustment plan will be
to the end of bringing about neces-
sary changes with as little dislocation
as possible and full opportunity for
all to benefit as in the past by indi-
vidual ingenuity, vision and fair deal
ing.
1t is understood that the commit
tee consists of the following: Ber-
nard M Baruch, chairman of the War
Industries Board; Vance Mccormick,
chairman of the War Trade Board;
DR.. Garfield, chairman Of the Fuel Adj
ministration; Herbert Hoover, chair
man Of the Food Administration, and
E. M Hurley, chairman of the Ship
ping Board.

EXPECTS A SLOW
PRICE DECLINE
LOUISIANA WHOLESALER SEES
PROSPERITY FOR CAPITAL AND
LABOR DURING PERIOD OF
RECONSTRUCTION.

Louisville, Ky.-Granyille L. Bur-
ton, vice president of Crutcher and
Starks, in discussing the after war
business outlook for the retail cloth.
Ter said:
Business will go on in very much
the same manner as it has during
the past year. If anything, trade will
be rather stimulated than depressed:
as witness the effect of peace rumors
on the Stock Exchange. The prospect
of peace is conducive to feeling of
assurance and security in trade.
Trade would not be brisk with a pros
pect of immediate drop in prices.
There will be no sudden drop of prices
IN any life, in my opinion. After the
Civil War it took several years on a
very slow and gradual decline for the
high price of cotton to reach normal.
Goods will be plentiful for the mer-
chant who has the money to buy
them.
Regarding the consumers's de-
mand, feel that we are due for i
period of retail prosperity. The
mems wear business will be particu-
larly benefited, for the obvious reas-
on that the Government will slowly
disband numbers of men from the
Army who will require complete out
fits in order to be readjusted to civil
life.
Prosperity For Capital and Labor.
During the period of reconstruc-
ton which will follow this war, Amer
lea will be depended upon by every
nation in the world for raw materials
and manufactured articles. For where
are they to turn for the necessities
which they will need, if not to
America? In consequence, all of this
production will mean prosperity for
Capital and Labor and the retail mer-
chant will unquestioEably receive a
share
"The safest and wisest course for
a mems wear merchant to pursue, is
to conduct his business as he has
always conducted it in normal times,
buying enough to take care Of his
reasonable needs for the present and
future. 1t will do no good now to
speculate for the time of speculation
has passed, as prices will rather tend
gradually downward than upward. On
the other hand, there is little cause
for alarm over stocks now on hand,
for as outlined above the markets
will remain steady for some time to
come"

RESTRICTIONS ON
FLOUR ARE LIFTED
ADMINISTRATION RULES 1T is
NO LONGER NECESSARY TO
PURCHASE 20 PER CENT
OF SUBSTITUTES.

Washington. - Regulations requir-
ing householders and bakers to pur-
chase 20 per cent of substitutes with
each purchase of wheat flour were
withdrawn by the Food Administra-
ton, effective Immediately.
Substitutes already purchased and
for which millers, dealers or bakers
do not find a ready sale will be pur-
chased by the Grain Corporation of
the Food Administration. The coars-
er grains now being used as flour sub
stitutes will be placed on the market
as animal feeds, of which there is a
shortage.
Although wheat bread may now ap-
pear on the American table without
restriction, the Food Administration
announced it will continue to advo-
cate conservation in the use of flour,
which have been in effect in various
forms since last January 28. was due
to the armistice.

CONSTRUCTION Is
TO BE RESUMED
CHAIRMAN CHAs. l.. THOMPSON
ANNOUNCES THAT IMPORTANT
CHANGES ARE MADE AT THE
CONFERENCE.

Construction projects aggregating
several millions of dollars will now
be possible in Arkansas, said Chas.
/. Thompson, chairman of the Com
mittee on Non-War Construction of
the State Council of Defense, yester-
day. Mr.. Thompson returned this
week from Washington, where, with
Adiutant General Lloyd England, he
attended a conference of the Non
War Construction Section of the War
Industries Board.
Practically all restrictions on build
ing were removed at this conference.
Some of the reyisions, which will
make possible the construction of
many buildings heretofore prohibited,
are of vital interest to the people Of
Arkansas, he said. Any construction
project up to $4,000 may now be
built without a permit OF license.
There are many projects in Arkansas
the cost of which does not exceed $19,-
600. which may now proceed at once.
No application to the Non-War Con-
struction Section is now necessary
for such building.
No permits or licenses now are re-
quired for farm and rancn buildings,
structures or improvements. When
the cost does not exceed $4,000 per-
mits are not now required for the
construction of new or the alterations
of extensions of existing schoolhouses,
churches, hospitals and federal, state
or municipal buildings.
In a circular letter which Mr.
Thompson prepared yesterday to send
TO all the county chairman of the
state he says that the Non-War Con-
struction Section of the State Council
of Defense no longer has authority
over construction the cost Of which
does not exceed s10,0O9, 1t has no
authority over schoolhouses. churches,
hospitals and public buildings the cost
of which does not exceed $25,000
The Non-War Construction Section,
however, still has authority to grant
permits for construction projects, not
schools, churches, hospitals and pub
lie buildings, costing from $4,000 to
$4,000 and not otherwise provided
for in the revisions, and for all build
ings including schools, churches, hos
pitfalls and public buildings the cost
of which exceeds $4,000.
All public improvements, such as
street Improvement, highways,
bridges, parks and drainage projects
may now proceed. Mr.. Thompson said
that just before going to Washington
he had stopped the work of construo-
tion Of some drainage systems in east
ern Arkansas. Work on these may
now proceed at once.
It was the intention of the War In
dustries Board in making these re-
visions to make openings immediate
~ available for workmen who no
longer will be needed on government
projects, Mr. Thompson said.
By removing restrictions on the
smaller projects first the workmen
viii find occupation in every part Ut
the country. In this way the War
Industries Board prepares for quick
return to normal conditions. Had all
building been a tendency for the
workmen to be used in big projects n
the East and labor conditions brought
about by the war would continue to
prevail.
