Trend in United States

Again, in the United States the great
rise in prices came prior to April,
1917-i. e., prior to the great with
drawal Of war workers from it's indus
tries. Since that great withdrawal the
rise has been slight. The simple
laws of supply and demand do not ex-
plain these conditions in the least.
The figures as to the supply of
money and credits afford an expana-
alton to very considerable, and often
quite remarkable. extent Take, for
example, the United States In this
country there was no considerable
rise in prices until late in 1915; that
IS, year and quarter after the war
began. This rise did not begin with
the tremendous demand for food sup
plies and war materials in this coun-
try from the Allies. g 1t did not begin
until the heavy outfldM of gold, which
began in July, 1914, had stopped, the
entire amount of the outflow covered
heavy surplus.
What is still more remarkable is
that this great rise practically ceased
within six months to year after these
heavy imports of gold stopped. And
the rise has not since been conspicu-
ously resumed. Yet the demand for
food and material has enormously
augmented since by reason of our en-
Mt Il
our participation heavily increased the
number of workers withdrawn from
normal industries TO the war indus
tries; and in addition, had by last
July subtracted considerably from two
million workers for the army itself
If 1T was simply a question of supply
and demand, the rise in prices since
we entered the war ought to have been
much greater than before. Nothing of
the sort has happened. 1t is not to
the point to say that this is explained
by the success of the price fixing
policy, for the simple reason that this
same policy in other countries-Eng
land, France and Germany-has not
prevented a great rise in the general
price level. On the modern theory of
money it could not
Again, conditions as to the numbers
of soldiers drawn off to war, workers
employed on munitions and the lack
of supplies could not have been very
widely different in England than ir
France. Yet the rise in prices in
France has been at least half again
as great as in England, and probably
much more still. The index figures are
not so reliable, and close comparisons
cannot be made. In a rough sort of
way, wholesale prices have risen in
England about 14O per cent and in
France more than 23O per cent. Here
again the difference is accounted for
by the difference in large emissions of
paper currency and the nations expan-
sion of credits. In France this has
been far heavier than in England.
British Rise Delayed
1t is likewise not without interest
that the great rise in prices in Eng
