DENMARK HAS FIXED
THE MAXIMUM PRICES

WASHINGTON January IA

WASHINGTON. January 14.--Maxi-
mum prices for goods for domestic
consumption have been fixed by the
Danish government as one method of
giving relief from the advancing cost
of living, according to the Monthly La
Dor Review. published by the Bureau
OF Labor Statistics, United States De-
partment Of Labor.
1t has been found, however, that
when these are made low enough 20
satisfy the consumer the producer usu-
ally complains that they are less than
the cost of production. The govern
incnt. therefore. has undertaken to
equalize this by fixing high minimum
prices for products available for ex-
port. Thus If producer loses on his
domestic sales he makes so large a
profit on exports that he has sub
stantial net gain. He may export only
the surplus over domestic needs In
order to cover any loss the govern
mcnt may sustain through low mini
mum prices on imported articles or
domestic products like wheat, which
is not exported in large quantities, in
creased taxation is resorted to. gem
orally regulated to bear hadrcst on
the largest incomes.
Salary increases also are being ar
ranged. but the advances favor the
aborer rather than the middle elias SIS
salaricd man.
Reports on standard family budgets
for l?iS as compared with 1914 show
the following increases: in Norway

Prices Of foodstuffs have increased
during the four years of the war to the
point where the producer receives more
than twice as much in cash for the

administration in pamphlet entitled
