Normal Production Needed.

One of the first things necessary to
restore natural conditions. said Mr.
Palmer, is normal production. But
while we are waiting for normal pro-
auction, there are several things we
can do to hasten it's return, he added.
one OF these things. he said, is to les
sen the demand for commodities.
IF we could lessen the demand in
the same proportion that we increase
production, prices would come down."
he declared. In this way, he added
the law of supply and demand would
get back into operat ton.
MIR. Palmer said the statement is
often heard that there is too much
excitement over the high cost of liv-
ing. because wages have gone UP with
food and no one; is suffering a great
deal as a result.
They might tell me that in some
places" said the Attorney General
but you cannot tell me there are moi
people suffering here under this new
system of the higher prices and high

Made Memorable by Lincoln.

It was recalled that the dedication
of the Gettysburg cemetery, fifty-six

was made that President Wilson
would be invited to make the princi-
pal address at the dedication OF the

the Arlington cemetery and also with

D. c. and New York Lead.

There are two cities in America
now, he said, which all the other
cities follow in public questions
Washington and New York. Wash
ington as the capital and New York
as the metropolis, must take the
lead, he said.
If we could not accomplish our
plans here and in New York, we would
be doubtful of their success in the
rest of the country"
Mr.. Palmer analyzed the unsettled
condition in which the country was
left at the close of the war, a cond-
tion which he said is as unprece-
dented as the war itself.
Men who work pnder the strain
of high prices" he declared, appeal
for higher wages and when they get
them they find it rapidly consumed
by still more increases in the things
they need. Finally, the people find
they are chasing themselves.
'The American people will get no.
where by continuing in this course.
The end of pursuing such a course
would be Industrial disaster for the
United States. We will have to call
a halt on the vicious circle"
If each class would stop seeking
its own betterment for a time and
everybody hold the line" where 1t
is. the Attorney General suggested,

the food administrator declared. and
one which has never been accom-
plished in any other city, to his
knowledge.

Wilson continued, Ito form a fair

November 10. 1919. the ffty-sixth
anniversary of the dedication of the
great national cemetery at Gettys-
burg, Pa, has been suggested by rep
resentatives, Of the Grand Army of

Dealers Promise to Help.

Every man in the hall, excepting
few who were not grocers stood up.
In opening the meeting. Mr.. Wilson
said
I'VE all know what profiteering is
We know that the fair margin of
profit is an ascertainable figure. Here
is your opportunity. You know from
the press the feeling that exists in
the District against the food dealer.
And those of you who have been in
nOcent-whfch / am sure includes
every man here tonight-will gladly
follow q plan. if one is pointed out,
which will enable you to root out
those who have been guilty of prof.
iteering. For your own honor, 1 am
sure you will follow.
1T is your duty, In your own in
terests, to police the grocery trade
in the District, to force out of busi-
ness the profiteer."
MIR. Wilson said the food admin
istration is not in a state where it
can function as it did during the war.
but that the Department of Justice
stands ready to cooperate with the
grocers here in singing out the un-
scrupulous ones.
In beginning his address, the At
torney General said he regarded it
as a sign of success that so many
men turned out in the rain to attend
the meeting.
