Australia Broke Food Combines Which
Charged Exorbitant Rates

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The able presentment by Mr. Fraser
in this mornings Tribune of the fallacy OF
arbitrary price fixing brings to mind the fact
that tho government OF Western Australia
has been successful in doing this very thing
successful because 1t was done in accord
anco with the unyielding law Of supply and
demand.
The latest figures at hand at tho moment
are those of 1918, but they illustrate the way
to dc it as distinguished from the way not
to do it, In the years 19l2-13 Western
Australia was in the hands Of meat COM
binc The government acquired Il fleet Of
four vessels, sent sthcm to meat raising dis
trcts, offered low freight rates to meat pro-
duccrs, and bought meat as needed, opening
government meat shops in several cities.
The meat was So nat fair profit, at six
cents a pound bofV1hc prices of the COM
bnc, and in short order all the combines
stores reduced their meat to the government
prices-and the government went out of bust
ness until such time as another lesson should
be needed.
Another Australian state has large govern
mcnt bakeries in which bread is made for
the penal and charitable institutions Of the
state. In 1914 "A combine of bakers made an
eNorbtant raise in the price of bread. The
government bakeries were set to work night
and day at their utmost capacity, and the
government bread wagons traverscd the state
from end to end selling bread at fair profit
The bakers combine surrendered and ac-
ccpted the government price, and the govern
mcnt withdrew its bread wagons and re-
turned to it's normal activities. The profits
of these emergency enterprises used in
establishing free libraries and reading rooms
What Australia can do the United States
can do, if it has equal discernment. The law
of supply and demand cannot be set aside by
any decree by any official, no matter how e1
al.cd his position. There is but way to
fix prices that they fixed, and that is
the Australian way-to supply the demand at
fair, living profit just as long as the need
cndurcs and no longer. The President al
ready has the power to do this, but has he the
wisdom? RICHARD FERRIS.

To Hate or Not to Hate

We can all give our approval to the
order issued to the Four Minute Men for
bidding campaign of hate-a methodcal
tanning of hatred against Germans and
the German idea. This is America, where
people form their own opinions and emo
tions. 1--WE hate as one," said Lissauer's
Hymn of Hate, and that was good German
system, organization, propaganda. Here
we work out our national salvation on a
different plan The individual rules. Tell
him the facts and let him react as he wills.
So runs the American idea.
Therefore, as corolary to our first
proposition, we suggest the truth that 4
propaganda of love for Germany and the
Germans is equally unwanted. Germany
will earn what she gets. To argue that we
must not hate because hatred will delay
peace or interfere with the beating of 75's
into ploughshares when the war is over is
to argue for exactly the sort of official,
manuf ufactured, governmental conscience
that made the German people acclaim the

An Opportunity for Governor Edge

Governor Walter K. Edge Of New Jer-
sey has in his hands the appointment OF
successor to Senator Hughes for the term
ending in March next year. We have
spoken of the nations deep need, in the
present crisis, of men of commanding
ability and character in Congress. There
is one man in New Jersey of national repu-
tation and of peculiar experience. he was
the one man originally chosen by President
Wilson for his Cabinet from that northern
and eastern quarter of the country which
contains more than two-thirds Of the ma
tion's population and more than three
quarters of it's vast industrial activities.
This man would have an especial calling,
in the United States Senate, just at this
time. He sat for three years at President
Wilson's side as Secretary of War NC
man living, unless it be Elihu Root, has a
more intimate knowledge of the workings,
the needs, the possibilities of that depart
ment than he. And we know that ne has
courage, energy and decision
We refer to the Hon. Lindley Miller
Garrison.
If Governor Edge had the appointment
of four Senators he could hardly find four
men who could at this juncture render a
greater service to the nation than this ex-
Secretary of War. No man could represent
the State of New Jersey with more dlstlnc-
ton. 1t would be fine example to the
partv and to the nation, and would stamp
Governor Edge as himself man of Sena-
torial worth and weight, if he were to dis
regard all party considerations and ap-
point Mr.. Garrison for the year that re-
mains of Senator Hughes's term.

present these orders as evidences of legiti-
mate and fair distribution
Such system, while it would cost some
thing, c~uld be so coordinated with the va
rlous administrative schemes as to make it
economical for the public, which has to paw
all the bills in the end. 1t would insure
every household it's share of everv necessity.
The card system does not insure anything,
not even that persons do not obtain an un-

Ships and the Housing Puzzle

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t seems strange to large number
of people that the housing problem was not
taken up at the time the contracts were
given to build the ships, it will take
months now, what with the plans, contracts
and erection of these buildings before they
will be ready for the labor. In the mean
time idle ship yards and, what is worse, no
ships.
1t seems to the writer that there is
quicker way of housing these men than
waiting for the erection of these government
buildings.
In most of the shipbuilding centres there
are large numbers Of secondrate hotels
which we'll adapted to taking care Of
these workmen, especially single men, and
also there are hundreds of married men,
both skilled and unsklled, who would be
glad of the chance to work at these ship
yards who have homes of their own, and
would need no looking after as far as hous-
ing them is concerned. The single men could
be bileted at these hotels, they do the
soldiers in France.
There are also hundreds of men living
within ten miles of these shipbulding plants,
already housed, who could be carried in by
train morning and returned at night The
government has the railroads with which to
do it.
NOulu IL HOI Uc Il QUICKER way Ol SeIllHE,
the ships built?
Now to the labor, in all large bodies Of
quickly assembled labor you will find union
and non-unon men in more less equal
proportions. This means trouble sooner or
later. There should be shpbuilding army
and every man applying for work should be
drafted into that army and be under army
rules.
think there would be no trouble in get
ting all the men the shipbuilders would need,
as most Of the would be with their
families, which makes more contented work
men.
If young man between twenty-one and
thirty-one is loyal enough to fight for his
country in foreign land, why should any
man over thirty-one object to being drafted
into shipbulding army under good pay
and still have the privilege of living at home
with his family and friends?

The Decision at St. Louis

The Tribune believes that it would be u
vital mistake to name as chairman OF the
Republican National Committee any man
who cannot, and whose election does not
tend to, cement all clements of the party.
For the first time in it's history the party
has suffered two successive and notable
defeats. This would be sorry time to
name any man whose selection would re-
vive factional differences.
But more than this, the Republican
party will be looked to this year to lead
the country out of the morass of contu-
sion worse confounded into which it has
this winter been plunged. 1t would be
grievous mistake to name any man whose
high Americanism might be questioned, or
who did not strongly and loyalty favor our
entry into the war. This nation has now
no divided feeling: the party cannot afford
to name as it's national chairman any man
whose sentiments as to the war, and our
allies. might be questioned in any way.

west Indies to America in return for the re-
lease of Dutch ships from American ports
In regard to the negotiations for peace,
Jounkheer Loudon held that such work must
be carried on behind the scenes. He could
neither carry on active peace negotiations nor
:ubsidize propaganda, he said. The govern
ment could only give its moral support to
such endeavors. He expressed his sympathy
with the work Of the League to Enforce Peace,
but held that it was not for small state to
attempt to obtain peace bv compulsory meas
ures. He in favor of internationalear-
btration, and intended to lay before the COM
mittee of the third peace conference the plans
CT the League to Enforce Peace and the ques-
ton as to what should be done after the war.
He had already received from the secretary
Of the league an unofficial outline of peace
project and was considering the question.
Mr.. van Hamel had brought up the question
OF ships clearing from Delfzyl, and had stated
that the German government refused to ler
ships leave that port unless they signed e
five years time charter in favor Of Germany.
Negotiations on this subject, Jounkheer Lou
don said, were connected with the German
supply of iron and steel and were still in
progress.
In regard to Dutch warships being barred
from the ocean by the closing of the North
Sea, he said that Dutch warships certainly
had right to pass through the barred zone,
but he thought it would be foolish to risk
their loss by mines instead of keeping them
20 what was at least supposed to be safe
channel. He had tried to get from Germany
Il safe conduct for ships bringing coal from
England such as had been given to Argentina
for vessels carrying food to Europe, but the
negotiations had not yet been successful.
Coming to Holland being cut off by Eng
land from cable communication on account of
the transport of sand and gravel to Belgium
by Germany, Jounkheer Loudon said that he
was prepared to lay the question before the
two governments for arbitration The con-
ception of the British government was that
all transit of metals, sand and gravel was IL
legal, while Germany held that such transits
must be allowed, and Holland took the stand
that the admissibility Of the transport de-
pended on its character. England's only mis-
take was in adopting measures of reprisal
Holland, a small neutral power, desired to
uphold her rights, and England had no right
to injure her on that head. The Dutch gov
ernment was prepared at any time to agree
to arbitration They had no interest in the
question, except to uphold their rights
