LIVING COST TO DROP
U. 5. Wheat Director issues
Statement.
4oo,ooo,ooo Europeans Back on Job
to Reduce Prices Here,
He Says.

New York, May 13.-The cost of the
essentials of life which has assumed
such proportions of oppressi4eness will
soon be reduced, according to d state.
ment issued by julius Barnes, United
States wheat director.
| Now that the European nations are
approaching a settlement, after scssr
years of energy and life devoted to
destruction, men all over the world
will return to productive industries.
Production is being resumed by
4OOOOO,OOO people in Europe" Mr..
Barnes statement reads. Belgium
has struggled to its feet and the Bel.
gian relief commission has discontin.
ued it's work.
Poland, Czecho-S -Slovakia, Roumania,
Serbia, Finland-all promise stable
governments and the beginning Of the
orderly processes Of life in the imme.
Hate future. # ~ III
The effect of these requirements in
production and orderly distribution
will tighten the strain on America
and our own fortunate country will
fbe enabled to turn more Of its pro.
duction into domestic markets"
The increased cost Of living, Mr..
Barnes points out, has been due to
entirely natural laws. The imitation
was due to the expansion of world
credit, whcih to those with fixed in
comes meant burden of hardship.
The sacred obligation to feed the
famished countries had to be carried
out.
"There has been no real reason for
any advance in -four" the statement
continues. I'VE have protected the
domestic supply without jeopardy, and
mills and dealers are beginning to re-
alize this and recover their business
