THE TREND or PRICES

Past history has proven quite con-
clusively that you can no more legis-
late tie cost of living up and down
than You can stop the tide by building
q sea wall. The basic economic law
of supply and demand always has and
always will determine, prices, in spite
of artificial restrictions which may
seem to interfere temporarily. When
demand exceeds supply. prices are
bound to rise. With three hungry men
for single loaf OF bread, but one
thing can happen. When supply ex-
ceeds demand the reverse is true.
Three loaves of bread to one man bring
prices tunbling down.
THE real cause for the present high
level prices is apparent when you real
ize that the United States is exporting
at present twice the foodstuffs that 1t
exported year ago, and three to four
times the amount exported in normal
years. We are feeding Europe. What's
more. we must continue to feed
Europe, until it gets back on its own
feet again Their crop of 1919 will help
some, but We must wait until the har.
vest of 1920 before they are wholly in
dependent OF this country. II the
general public can he educated to an
appreciation of the situation as it is,
and can be made to see that the we'll
being of every one of us depends upon
every man producing as he never pro
duced before. supply can be increased
to meet and exceed this unprecedented
demand and we shall weather the
| storm with everybody ahead.
Under the circumstances il Is more OF
one. Maximum production on the part
! OF every individual must be made q
| neral issue. Decreased demand
/ means depression. and unemployment
| and hard times for everybody In.
! creased production will meet the s,tua'
ton and solve the problem. but that
can only be accomplished by every
man putting his shoulder to the wheel

way, when people begin to look down
on the man who is not producer. OF

NAshington.--Predi that ships
flying the American flag will almos,

the end OF 1920 were made In the sen
ate by Senator Jones Of Washington
chairman OF the senate commerce com
mittee, in introducing his bills pro
posing alternative plans for a perman
snt federal shipping policy. Both bills
were referred to the commerce com
mittee for future consideration.
With prospective consideration OF
the governments warship building pro-
gramme by Dec. 81, 1920, Senator
Jones said the United States, includ.
ing coastwise vessels. will have a
merchant fleet OF about $4,000, 900
he added, the two nations will con-
troll about two-thirds Of the world
tonnage.
I'VE do not desire and 1t is not our
purpose to drive other nations off the

want to do and We ought to do at
least our proporti0nats part OF our
own, and the worlds carrying trade.
20 that our commerce shall have q
tair chance In the worlds markets and
that We may herafter be fully pre-
pared for the emergency"
Regarding the governments future
shipping policy. Senator Jones said
about eight million Of the twelve mil

that can b no Issue. Tho govern

ownership should end a. soon - may
b, 1t must be brought about, as
nearly as may &c. without unneces-
sary sacrifice. No one can reasonably
hope that private enterprise aad cap

experience, will b able to absorb AID

Senator Jones eiso contended that
unless private capital can take over
the plant constructed by the govern
ment at Camden, N. J.. and now oper-
ated through tho New York Ship
building company, 1t should be re-
tanned and used for the construction
OF tho large ships for which there
are no other facilities.
In explaining his bill to create q
merchant marine corporation, under
government control, to operate the
government fleet for not more than
30 years. but without competing with
private established lines, Senator
Jones said in conclusion:
I'VE now have the United States
