CONFLICT OVER PRICE POLICY
Entire Question Reopened Because OF
Misunderstandines.

Washington. April 3,-The entire
policy of the government in undertak' :
ing To revise ami stabilize prices thru
the industrial board of the department
OF commerce has been reopened as the
result OF the conference yesterday
over the refusal OF the railroad ad-
ministration to accept "a new scale OF
steel prices arranged by the board.
Secretary Glass, who presided over
the conference in his office, said today
that Chairman Peek. OF the board, had
acted without authority in amending
the statement OF the result so as TO
make it appear that only the dispute
with the railroad administration had
been recommitted.
1t was the intention OF the confer
ence. he said, to submit the entire mat
ter of price agreements for further
agreement.
Officials instrumental in organizing
the industrial board said there was no
intention to force government agen-
cies to buy at agreed prices and that
it would be necessary for the board TO
change its course.

Anemic Germany

Prey to Rebels
LBy the Associated Press. J

Paris, April 3.-Competent German
and foreign observers are charry OF
making any definite prediction OF
what will come out of the welter OF
political and economic disorders and
Developments In revolutionary Ger
many. To borrow an epigram OF
Count Won Bernstorff, nothing In Ger
many now Is certain except the un-
certainty Of the morrow"
The former Berlin correspondent OF
the Associated Press, returning to
Paris after six weeks devoted to u
study Of conditions in Germany, left
that country with the distinct impress
sion that the tenure Of the present
coalition government was by no means
secure. altho 1t ID for the moment in
control of the situation; that there is
no alternative except that a radical
socialist administration with q strong
drift toward a soviet republic Is pos
sible; that a nenewal Of Spartacan
activities against the present regime by
further strikes and uprisings is al
most certain; that altho the great
mass are opposed to a bolshevik gov
ernment they can count only on a
small force Of volunteer troops to keep
down this insurrectionary movement.
the masses at present being too anemic
and apathetic to give more than pas
sive support in an emergency: that
while the troops have been able to
handle the Spartacan insurgents so
long as they can check sectional up
risings In turn, success would be diff
ficult If the Spartacans and their al
lies should be able to stage a really
general strike and insurrection.
If the Spartacan leadership is not
able to SO organize. the government
probably will be able to maintain itself
ul.til peace Is signed.
AS to the peace treaty the members
Of the government and their publicists
are announcing firmly. perhaps sim
cerely, that no preliminary treaty not
in accord with President Wilson'S
srmistice terms will be signed.
