Higher Cost Due to Waste
/ With Increased Finances
Council of National Defense Says More Pro-
duction and Enforcement of Laws Against
-Profteers Will Bring Down Prices

The United States Council Of Ma
tional Defense. composed of the
Secretaries OF War, Navy. Interior,
Agriculture. Commerce and Labor.
has made a careful investigation of
the high-cost-of-living problem and
finds:
That the nations productive pow
ers have not been fully utilized
since the armistice.
That too few goods. notably the
necessities OF life. have been pro-
duced. and that even some OF these
goods have been withheld from the
market and therefore from the
people.
That the high cost of living is due
in part to unavoidable war waste
and increase of money and credit.
That there has been and Is con-
and unintentional.
The council believes that the
remedies for the situation are:
To produce more goods, and to
produce them in proportion to the
needs of the people.
To stamp out profteering and
stop unnecessary boarding.
To enforce vigorously present
laws and promptly to enact such
further laws as are necessary TO
prevent and punish profiteering and
needless boarding.
To bring about better co-opera-
tion aud method in distributing and
marketing goods.
To keep both producer and con-
sumner fully informed as 10 what
goods are needed and as to what
supplies are available. so that pro-
duction may anticipate the coun-
try's demands.
Must Produce More Goods.
Goods and not money are the
means of life. Better standards OF
living are impossible without pro-
ducing more goods Man cannot
consume what has not been pro-
duced.
At the wars end our allies had
desperate need of the essentials of
life. We have had to share our re-
sources with them. but this drain
will gradually lessen. In so far as
our shortage of goods is due to this
cause. we can well afford to be
patient.
1t is Just as essential that we
have patience with the economic
situation here at home. The proc
ess OF production requires time. II
production is rapidly increased.
vastly improved conditions will
prevail in America when the results
of present and future labor begin 20
appear.
Team work is imperative. 1t is
just as essential between retailer,
wholesaler and producer as it is be-
tween employer and employe. One
group of producers cannot wait on
another group. The manufacturer.
