HIGH PRICES

Irving Fisher, professor Of polltl- cal economy at Yale university, as- serts the high price level has come to stay. IL is permanent, in his judgment. He thinks 1t may go down trifle in 2 year, perhaps, but then will continue on a plane far above the pre-war level.
 His views are being distributed by the department of commerce ia the hope of stimulating private business.
 On whether the general level of prices is bending downward. he says ''it is not going to fall much, if at all" Continuing, he declares: "We are on a permanently high price level and the sooner the business men of the country take this view and adjust themselves to it the sooner will they save themselves and the nation from the misfortune which will come, if we persist in our present false hope"
 Business men should face the facts" is the advice Of this au- thority on economic conditions. ''To talk reverently of 1913-'14 prices is to speak in dead language today. The buyers of the country since the armistice have made an unexampled attack upon prices through their waiting attitude, and yet the price recessions have been insignificant. The reason is that we are on high plane level, which will be found a stubborn reality Business men are going to find out that the clever man is not the man who waits, but the one who finds out the new price facts, and acts accordingly"
 One of the immediate reasons for his conclusions he phrases as follows:
 Against any considerable reduc- ton ;n bank credit and hence in th= general level of prices, we shall find the whole business community in arms. Falling prices mean hard times for the individual and for the nation and every one resists the tendency. At the end of the CKi war the treasury started to reduce the quantity of green backs. start had hardly been made, how. ever, before the business depression of 1866 and 1867 caused Congres: to forbid by law any further re duetion. Should the federal reserve bank attempt, by raising their dis count rate or otherwise, to reduce the volume of bank credits out standing, they will meet with tht same sort of opposition.
 Moreover, the hostile attitude ot labor toward the lowering of wage: will deter legislators and banker: from any organized policy of con traction.
 But a portion of the April Vic tory note issue will go to pay future expenditures, not accrued expendi lures. Then as soon as the govern ment needs additional money, il will issue new treasury certificates resulting in new extension of banl credit. Moreover, there is little doubt that there will be at leasr one more government bond issue during the reconstruction period and this will tend to further in crease our present credit structure
 The availability of the vast issue. of war bonds as bases for future credit expansion, coupled with the fact that our banking system ha: still many unused reefs-sure to be taken out later when bushes: wishes to spread for sail-is the chief reason why prices will keey up permanently, that is, for man. years.

The employees of the city gas

wages amounting to l2,500,000
marks annually.

VIII Demand Indemnify.
From sources that have the conf
dence of the president, ] learned to-
day that he is firm for exacting from
Germany in the way of indemnity
to the nations which Germany's
army overran and wantonly injured,
all that Germany is capable of pay
ing.
The plan of fixing the indemnity,
which the president is said to favor,
is not to decide upon any of the
fixed sum, but to have an inventory
made of Germany's industrial assets
and taxed to its capacity. In addi-
ton to the tax which is to be
assessed on German industry, tax
may be put on each German city and
the government controlled railways
and telephones also will be called
upon to contribute. The French are
also proposing that timber from the
German forests be supplied for the
reconstruction work in France.
