UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The war
industries board is about to deter
mine what is fair profit for the re-
taller.
Moved by the food of complaints
on profiteering, the board has under
consideration regulations to force the
stamping of wholesale prices on all
merchandise sold in the United
States, that the consumer may check
the blood money makers individually
He will know when he inspects any
article of merchandise just how much
profit the retailer gets. This, mem
bers of the board believe, will be
sufficient to stop most price boosting
/ The federal trade commissions aid
has been enlisted in the plan, 1t was
learned here today. That body
work will be to prevent stamping OF
prices above actual selling figures.
1t will protect the wholesalers and
the manufacturers who attempt to
undertake resales maintenance.
The war industries board believes
it can enforce such a program
through its power of industrial clas'
sification and its hold on materials
and transportation

But tho German Intention as seen
hero Is to convince the small paeif'st
group Of the Teuton nations that a
sincere peace desire now abides In

Another point emphasized here Is
the fact that Austria proposed

other words, the peace conferende

the war spirit and thus give bit OF
breathing space to the central pow.
ers, while If terms did not please
the Teutone, or II they staged some
sort Of comeback, they could leave
the get-together conference.
Germany is considered the dictator
OF the Austrian note. Austria says
she and her allies are In accord. 1,
Is held here to be doubtless true
that Germany would like to strike
the best possible bargain at this time
to save the Hohenzoliern rulers.
But 1t Is regarded fully as true thai
any bargain at this time would DIS
count the enormous sacrifices the
allies have made without making the
world safe from German war threat

10 TeIton Camouflage.
rBy Ed l. Keen, United Press Staff
Corresnondent1
LONDON, Sept. 16.-With the ex
ception of the Daily News. London
morning newspapers are unanimous
in the opinion that Austria's pro-
r3osal for a conference to discuss
peace is camouflage, the real reason
for which is that Hindenburg wants
time to reorganiZe his shattered
forces.
Another theory advanced Is that
the peoples of the central empire
really want peace. but their govern
ments seek to sway them and en-
barrass the entente, thus dodglne
the howls of the masses aga1ns con-
tinuing the war.
What benefit Austria might have
obtained from the proposal undoubt'
edly has been lessened by puolica'
ton of Germans effort at a separate
peace with Belgium, which is self
evident Of the Huns bad faith.
The Daily News favors Austria's
proposal for conference, declar-
ing:
"Only actual discussion can prove
whether discussion at this stage can
lead the world nearer peace. Aus
tria's dominating motive hardly can
be doubted. There is no doubt that
