French Try Socialism
To Reduce Food Prices
Cities Sell so Per Cent Under Dealers Distri-
button of Food More Important
Than Production

Paris, March 10.-The French are
making experiments with state So
cialism in an effort to reduce the
food prices which are mounting
ever higher.
During the war, military necessi-
ties imposed state socialism in
many forms. but without much sue
cess. Attempts to regulate prices
by imposing maximums permissible
by the government never helped the
consumer. When the producers
couldn't charge what the traffic
would bear" they simply withheld
the commodity until the maximum
price was removed, or they sold for
higher prices under cover.
Supplies Sold Under Cover.
When every grocery store lacked
butter and eggs at the government
rate. it was always possible to buy
both in the back of the store for
higher prices.
Last winter the city of Lyons opened
municipal stores turning over a cap
ital of 100000 francs (s9, 800. .ooO and
making 10000 francs 61. 100000 profits
which was used for an orphan asylum.
Yet they undersold private dealers.
In Marseilles the local prefect
opened stores which sold groceries 50
per cent below the current prices.

Riot Might Have Resulted.
Numerous threats had been made
by soldiers, sailors and civilians TO

Protests from many organizations
and individuals were made to the

thereby reducing the dealers rates
correspondingly. Many other cities
have taken similar steps.
Last week the government opened
fifty grocery stores in popular centers
of Paris. The prices prevailing at
these stores are about 40 per cent be-
low the current rates.
Distribution Of Food is Problem,
The government stores sell only
limited quantities to each family.
Whether the government will be able
to continue the competition without
loss to the public treasury remains TO
be seen. During the war the price
of bread alone was kept down by a
government subsidy in order to ap-
pease the poor, but somebody must
pay the bill later.
1t appears that the problem of the
distribution of the necessities of life
is more urgent than that of pro-
duction and that of distribution of
food and clothing. p.

President Wilson may have his first
clash with the Republican Congress
over the continuation, u the employ
lrent service Of taa Department of
Labor.
Secretary of Labor Wilson and the
executives of the employment service
expect that this feature of the Depart

tinued, although the existing appro-
priations provide only enough funds
to cover expenses until July l.
The Democratic Congress slashed

Every effort to have the appropriation
restored when the item was debated

Lloyd George Concurred.
About the time President Wilson
made his trip to England he received
reports from American agents in Rus
sia to the effect that the BolsheViN
were desirous of trading with the al
lies. He discussed this information
with Premier Lloyd George when he
reached London. The British Prime
Minister concluded 1t was most de-
sirable to bring about peace in Rus
sIa, and, IL possible, to have Russia
participate in the Peace Conference.
1t was decided the most advisable
procedure would be to have the Peace
Conference appoint commission to
treat with the Russian factions of all
shades.
Lloyd George wrote a letter to the
French foreign minister, NJ. Pichon,
telling him of his own and President
Wilson's wish. NJ. Pichon and Pre-
mier Clemenceau-to whom the foreign
minister showed the Lloyd George let
ter-were indignant over the sugges-
ton. Response was made to Lloyd
George that the French would not
consent to sending a delegation to
treat with the "Bolshevik assassins." d"
In the meantime. Lloyd George in
formed Viscount Northcliffe of the
understanding which he and President
Wilson had reached about Russia.
Northclifre Gave "Interview.r
Before NJ. Pichon's reply had been
received by Lloyd George, Viscount
Northcliffe, who likes to anticipate i'm
portant diplomatic actions, gave an
interview to an American newspaper
which he subsequently reproduced in
the London Daily Mail under a copy

II have been for some time of the
opinion that the world powers should
sink their pride for a moment and
get into communication with the Boil
sheviki with the purpose Of sending
an allied commission into Russia to
find out what is really going on there.
Such a commission should be accom-
plished by persons whom the Boil
