High Prices Accused.

One of the striking features Of the
present situation is the high price
demanded for practically all articles
and commodities of trade and com
merce. This high price condition is
undoubtedly the cause of most of the
business inactivity. and, therefore.
also is the cause Of the widespread d
unemployment of labor.
While living costs of the present
are unusually high and will continue
high until there are substantial re-
auctions in the cost of the necessary
staple foodstuffs, it is believed that
there is satisfactory latent buying
power In the country, an abundance
OF money, but money that is not be-
ing used to employ or to purchase
goods and materials.
The law of supply and demand is
really imperative at the present
time for the reason that it is found
difficult, if not impossible. for this
law to resume normal functioning,
on account of the fact that at the
present time the price relations be-
tween the industries producing basic
essentials are not properly adjusted
10 efficiently meet peace time con-
ditions.
1t is therefore apparent that the
trouble resulting in the present stag
nant, unsatisfactory condition of in
dustry is due to the continuance OF
the nigh, uneven unstable prices OF
war times, which were, in many in
stances, agreed to by agencies of
government functioning for war pur-
poses. and not to any unhealthy gen
eral condition. These abnormal prices
stltl remain because there has been
proVlded. up TO this time, no agency
TO bring about the necessary reduc-
tionS.

SECRETARY REDFIELD CREATES
BOARD TO STABILIZE PRICES
Six Carefully Chosen Men, Headed by
George N. Peek, Will Call Leaders
of Industry Into Consultation

emphasized that the proposal that the
government shall cooperate in the
determining of fair prices on basic
commodities and in stabiliZing these
prices through government purchases
is in no sense a price-tXin program,
No one will be under any sort of COM
pulsion TO adhere to the price sched-
ules arrived at. II a producer can hnd
Il market for his wares st higher
price no one can prevent his being
free to avail himself of il. If con-
sumer is able to buy below these
prices, it will be his privilege to
do it.
In substance, we propose to bring
capital. iabor and the government into
common counsel together around one
table and with one purpoSe--to do the
best possible for the country"
The immediate need for carrying
out Secretary Redfield's program is
evident, for there exists at the pres
ent time an abnormal situation in the
industrial world-a Stagnation of
business and industrial activity. Mills
and factories are idle. or are produc-
ing but small part of what they
are capable of doing, and building
operations are at a standsti!l. A large
amount of unemployment exists, and
TINS unemployment Is incre asing at
such rate as to challenge the best
thought that can be given to the
situation.

To obtain this cooperation of the
