United States Less
Disturbed Than Others

Our national life has no doubt been
less radically disturbed and dismem-
bered than the national life of other
peoples whom the war more directly
affected, with all its terrible ravag-
ng and destructive force, but it has
been, nevertheless, profoundly af-
1ected and disarrangcd, and our in
dustries, our credits, our productive
capacity, our economic processes are
lnextricably interviewer with those of
other nations and peoples-most in
timately of all with the nations and
peoples upon whom the chief burden
and confusion Of the war fell and
who are now most dependent upon
cooperative action of the world.
We are just now shipping more
goods out of our ports to foreign
markets than we ever shipped be-
1ore-not foodstuffs merely, but stuffs
and materials of every sort. But
this is no index of what our foreign
sales will continue to be or of tho
effect the volume Of our exports
Will have on supplies and prices. 1t
Is impossible yet to predict how far
or how long foreign purchasers will
be able to find the money or the
credit to pay for or sustain such
purchases on such scale; how soon
or to what extent foreign mann
racturers can resume their former
production, foreign farmers get their
accustomed crops from their own
fields, foreign mines resume their
former output, foreign merchants set
up again their old machinery Of trade
with the ends of the earth.
Must Be Uncertain Until
Peace Is Established
All these things must remain un-
certain until peace is established and
the nations Of the world have con-
certed the methods by which normal
lite and Industry ars to be restored.
AL! that we shall do, in tho mean
time, to restrain profiteering and put
the life of our people upon a toll
eSable footing will be makeshift and
provisional.
There can be no settled condA
tons here or elsewhere until the
treaty Of peace Is out Of the way and
the work Of liquidating the war has
become the chief concern of our eov-
ernment and Of the other govern
ments Of the world. Until then
business will inevitably remain
speculative and sway now this wav,
and again that, with heavy losses or
heavy gains as it may chance. and
the consumer must take care of both
the gains and the losses. There can
be no peace prices 80 long as our
whole financial and economic system
is on war basis.
Europe will not, can not recoup
her capital or put her restless, dis
tracted peoples to work until she
knows exactly where she stands in
respect Of peace; and what we will
do is for her the chief question
upon which her quietude of mind
end confidence Of purpose depend.
While there is any possibility that

Some Big Increases
In Food in Storage

The supply of fresh eggs or hand
in June Of this year, for example,
was greater by nearly 10 per cent
than the supply on hand at the same
time last year, and yet the whole
sale price was 40 cents a dozen. as
against 80 cents a year ago. The
stock of frozen fowls had increased
more than 298 per cent. and yet the
price had risen also. from 341a cents
per pound to 371a cents. The supply
OF creamery butter had increased
129 per cent and the price from Al
to So cents per pound. The supply
Of salt beef had been augmented 3
per cent and the price had gone
up from $34 barrel to $50 barrel.
Canned corn had increased in stock
nearly 90 per cent and had remained
Substantially the same in price.
In few foodstuffs the prices had
declined, but in nothing like the pro-
portion in which the supply had in
creased For example. the stock of
canned tomatoes had increased 102
per cent and yet the price had de-
clined only 25 cents per dozen cans.
In some cases there had been the
usual result of an increase of price
following decrease of supply, but
in almost every instance the increase
OF price had been disproportionate
to the decrease in stock.
Combinations Are Found
By tho Attorney General
The Attorney General has been
making careful study of the situa-
ton as whole and of the laws that
can be applied to better it and is
convinced that, under the stimula
ton and temptation Of exceptional
circumstances, combinations of pro-
ducers and combinations of traders
have been formed for the control of
supplies and Of prices which are
clearly in restraint Of trade, and
against these prosecutions will be

have prompt correetive effect.
There is reason to believe that the
prices of leather, Of coal. of lumber,
and of textiles have been mate rally

operation among the producers and
marketers Of these and other uni
versally necessary commodities
which it will be possible to redress.
No watchful or energetic effort
will be spared to accomplish this
necessary result. trust that thcre
will not be many cases in which
prosecution will be necessary. Pub
lie action will no doubt cause many
who have perhaps unwittingly

our economic life. We snail not az
tempt to do so.
These are days Of deep excite
ment and Of extragagant speech
but with us these are things of the
surface. Every ono who is in real
touch with the silent masses of our
great people knows that the old
strong fibre and steady self-control
are still there, firm against violence
or any distcmpercd action that
would throw their affairs into con-
fusion. / am serenely confident that
they will readily find themselves, no
matter what the circumstances, and
that they will address themselves
to the tasks of peace with the same
devotion and the same stalwart pre-
ference for what is right that they
displayed to the admiration of the
whole world in the midst of war.
And I entertain another confident
hope. l have spoken to-day chiefly
of measures Of imperative regula-
tion and legal compulsion, Of prose-
cutions and the sharp correction of
selfish processes; and these no doubt
are necessary. But there arc other
forces that we may count on besides
those resident in the Department of
Justice. We have just fully awak-
ened to what has been going on and
10 Of
selfish and sinister, that have been
producing high prices and imposing
an intolerable burden on the mass
of our people. To have brought it
oil into the open will accomplish the
greater part of the result we seek
Appeals for Fair Dealing
With Masses Of People
I appeal with entire confidence to
our producers, our middlemen, AMI
our merchants to deal fairly with
the people. 1t is their opportunity
to show that they comprehend, that
they intend to act. justly, and that
they have the public interest sim
cerely at heart. And l have no doubt
that housekeepers all over the coun-
try and every one who buys the
thing he daily stands in need of
will presently exercise greater
vigilance, q more thoughtful econ
omy, more discriminating care as
to the market in which he buys or
the merchant with whom he trades
than he has hitherto exercised.
believe, too, that the more ex-
treme leaders Of organized labor
will presently yield to sober sec
ond thought and like the great mass
of their associates, think and act
like true Americans. They will sec
that strikes undertaken at this
critical time are certain to make
matters worse, not better-worsc
for them and for everybody else.
The worst thing, the most fatal
thing, that can be done now is to
stop OR interrupt production or to
interfere with the distribution of
goods by the railways and the ship
ping of the country We are all in
volved in the distressing results Of
the high cost of living and we muss
unite, not divide, to correct it.

SALVATION ARMY
ZONE MANAGERS
ARE ENCOURAGED

When the Zone Managers of the Gulf
Division, Salvation Army Home Ssrv-
Ice Fund, May 1926, met In Birming-
ham. Ala, May 18th and 5th, thers was
gathered there one Of the most en-
thusiastte crowd of men and women
that the city has ever seen.
They were all bubbling over with en-
thusiasn, because they are finding the
people wherever they 90 deeply inter-
ssted In the Salvation Army and Its
work ALI of them reported that they
find the people of the cities and the
country anxiously awaiting the open
ing Of the campaign, SO that they may
contribute to the fund in order that
the Salvation Army may carry on Its
work among the people. that the Sal
walton Army alone can reach.
A statement made by one Zone Man
ager was typical Of statements made
by all Of them. This statement was as
follows: The people Of this country
have at last realized what wonder
ful organization the Salvation Army lie,
and are anxious to do what they can to
help it in its work.
The people of the rural districts are
beginning to realize that they are even
more interested in the Salvation Army
and its work than the people of the
city, and now that the country people
realize this, they are more than ready
and willing to aid the Salvation Army
in carrying on its work by making lib
aral contributions.

GETS HELP FROM
GRATEFUL FATHER

Staff Captain Divid Main Of Biz.
uingham tells story of the work of
the Salvation Army that should have
a direct appeal to the fathers and
mothers in the small towns and rural
districts.
II was attending one of our street
corner religious services in a certain
Southern city not long ago." said Staff
CAPTAIN Main when | noticed young
man come forward with tears stream
ing down his face and asked that we
pray for him Kneelng there In the
street, his Lody shaking with sobs,
while we prayed for him that young
man asked God TO forgive his sins
had known that boy for long time
knew him before he left the little coun-
try town in which he was born and
went to the city. For three or four
years he had been regarded as one Of
the widest young men in the city Of
which am speaking. He never went
to church; he drank heavily; he gam
bled; his associates were OF the worse
type Today that young man is sery-
Ing God.
"A little while after this | was In
the little town where this boy was
born. His father is the wealthiest and
most respected man in that town.
went to see him and asked him to help
us in our work. His answer was that
he couldn't see why he should be in
terested in the work of the Salvation
Army; that its work was in the cities
and did not affect the people Of tho
small town and country. Then I told
him the story OF a young man being
converted at one of our meetings on
the street l asked him if he could
guess who that boy was He said no.
I then told him that it was his own
SON. He could scarcely believe me.
"In voice trembling with emotion.
he told me that this was the first time
in his life that his boy had ever ex-
pressed a desire to live right, and as
sured me that his time, his money, and
all his was at the service Of the Sal
walton Army.
Now we are not asking the country
people for much but what we are ask
ing for will be used to care for their
boys and girls who fall by the wayside.
The case | have JUS mentioned Is only
one OF many thousands Of cases that
the Salvation Army comes In contact
with all the time"
