TRUSTS Being Formed
IN FRANCE AND ITALY
Industrial Conditions May Mate
rally Affect Outcome Of Peace
Negotiations.

Cablegram to The Eveniax Star and
Chicago Daily News. CspyriEhf.fSls.
PARIS, France. November 25-Those
who have watched recent indu9trial
developments in Italy and France con-
slider that they may materially AFFECT
the outcome Of the peace negotiations.
The necessity of eliminating German
capital and control from italian indus
tries has started the consolidation OF
the latter. This has resulted in Q gil
gantic trust in the steel industry. The
great Ansaldo works are at the center
of this trust. The capitalization is
based on the war earnings Of the diff
ferent concerns which are many times
in excess of what may be hoped for
in normal times under international
competition unless a high protective
tarin Is re-established.
Persons high in political life In
Italy have been concerned in this
movement and consequently it Is sup
posed that the trust will bo influ'
entail in shaping the foreign pclfoy
forced by the fact that the trust has
bought up ten of the leading news
papers in Italy.
Situation in France.
In France an analogous situation Of
trust building is arising. The great
majority of the textile factories in
northern France are being bought UP
by one concern, and understand that
the prices paid are exaggerated. A
boom is on which extends even to the
prices Of land in the devastated areas
Lots in and about towns there have
reached figures in excess of those
prior to the war. The development
of this reconstruction period of all
the European countries evidently will
make it extremely difficult to obtain
in the treaty Of peace equitable In
ternational adjustments which will
prevent the development Of a trade
war.

Germany that when her virgin

BULLETIN DID NOT FIX
PRICE OF TOMATOES.

Federal Food Administrator for this
State, Mr. Edwin G. Baetjer. has made
the statement that the circular of
February 2S, 1918, issued by the Food
Administration, did not. and was not
intended as fixing the price per ton
at which producers in Delaware,
Maryland and other States mentioned,
must sell their tomatoes. Ii was, as
appears on its face, bulletin of in
formation to Gamers that the army
and navy, for the canned tomatoes
needed by them. were ready to receive
tenders from Gamers, if they desired
to make the same, for canned toma-
toes based on the prices stated per
ton tomatoes. No one was required
to bid and no limitation was made on
the price per ton which anyone might
ask for his tomatoes. but simply that
if the Gamers wished they might make
an offer to the Army and Navy on the
basis mentioned.
Mr.. Baetjer says the Food Admins
tration has no power and no desire to
fiXe the price of tomatoes.

SELLING BLOOD.

The operation of trdnsfusing blood
is giving rise to some strange condi-
tions. For many day relatives and
near friends have been willing to part
with "A portion of their life-giying

Price Of Molasses Fixed.

Edwin G. Baetjer, Federal Food
Administrator for Maryland, has is
sued the following circular letter in
regard to black strap molasses:
In view of the importance of black
strap molasses in the manufacture of
feeding stuffs, the United States Food
Administration has decided to prevent
profiteering in this commodity. Mr..
Hoover has, therefore, made the an
nouncement that the Administration.
after an investigation of the cost of
the manufacture of black strap molas-
ses, has determined that any sale of
imported black strap molasses or of
black strap molasses produced in the
United State from imported cane, at
a price of more than eighteen cents a
gallon will constitute an unjust and
unreasonable profit, and that every
such sale will be scrutinized carefully
with a view to the revocation of the
license of the seller.

nnLLARS ar RTSHELS.

Secretary Houston, OF the Depart
mcnL Of Agriculture, has called at
leution TO how we all are fooling our
selves today The newspapers are
boastiug that the corn crop is the
greatest in history when in bushels
il is less than in 1915 The South
think they are rolling in wealth, when
in bales it's cotton crop is less than
i'm 1915. Paper prices are no good.
IT'S more bushels and bales that we
need in order to reduce the cost of
living
Some people pretend that our ma
tional debt is small by comparing il
TO the crops What is 100000 O00
000,' they say, why, that is less than
the value of one single crop of the
farms of America" This is true; but
We cat up most Of these crops in a
year, while the debt remains with us
5000 for every man. woman, and child
i'm the United States.
As the farmers are fooling them
selves hy thinking OF prices and dol
lars instead of bushels and bales. so
industry is fooling itself by looking to
profits and wages instead of produc-
tiOn and saving.
The ending of this war and our fu-
turc prosperity after the war depends
upon producing more and wasting
less. Only in this way can Kaiser
Bill be puj out of business and will
