British .Jewelry and Silverware
Exhibited in BucnOs Aires

An exhibition Of British Jcwelry,
silverware, elec.roplate Britannia metal,
and nickelware was recently held IN
Buenos Ayrcs under the direction OF
. special commissioner fthe British
government. According TO THE Re
view of the River Plate" the enter
prise was organized by the Ministry
of Commerce with the cooperation OF
a number of industrial associations.
The object of the exhibition was not
to SELL the goods but 70 present the
merits of English manufacturers and
at the same time place at the disposal
of the local trade his intimate knowl..
edge O f,he different industries and
offer suggestions as 10 the best man
ner in which 10 obtain articles not
included in the collection. The Brit
ish manufacturers offered to modify
any detail with the objec. OF making
their goods more acceptable.
The public was not admitted to the
exhibition. it being only for mer-
chants. The articles in the collection
came from more han l20 factories.
and represented the principal lines Of
houses which deal in electroplated and
fancy articles, as well as articles Of
jewelry, both expensive and the popu-
lar priced kind. and also imitation
articles Of every description.

Better Understanding
But Not Lower Prices

II furnishes material for the po-
litical demagogue. II leads countless
thousands of wellmeaning people TO
reach entirely false conclusions as TO
the relative importance of the various
forces that move IN the economic life
of the time. II is the most prolific
breeder of distrust and discomfort
known TO the business world. IL is "A
grave evil. We detest it positively;
YES, even violently. II must be elimi-
mated. even though the cost OF elimi-
mating il in terms OF time and trouble
is greater than the saving the climi-
nation effects. For what we will gain
by eliminating it will be thing of
much greater value than a slight de-
crease in prices; a thing of incalcul-
able value IL will be better under
standing, a greater faith IN our fel-
low man. an increased confidence IN
the Righteousness of our economic sys-
tenn and the soundness of our govern
mental scheme. Profiteering must 20.
but let us not mislcad ourselves with
the idle concei. that when II is gone
life will be much easier than 1t now is.
The next fact is that there is no
necessary relation between the money
price of things and the actual cost of
living. The actual cost OF hving Is
what a man must give. not OF money,
but of himself for the things he needs
and wants. In the case OF wage
Garner it. broadly speaking, is meas.
ured by the ratio between wages and
prices. Proportionate increases IN
both wages and prices do not change

100000 Persons Still
Lack Adequate Housing
No Further Relief Until Spring,
as Builders Have Practically
Finished This Year

Il is estimated that about 1000 900
persons throughout tne United states
are still in need OF homes. No further
relief in the housing shortage can De
expected until next spring, as ne
building season is practically at close

Straus for ren. payers this winter. He
says that the high rentals VIII have q

and the morals Of the people.
while there have been times this
year when the building industry swung

CHEMICALS-Sf. Louis Firm
To Sell Phenol for Government

Announcement has been made by
officials OF the War Department that
the Monsanto Chemical Works, Of
st. Louis, will have charge Of the
disposition of the 2S,O00,OOO pounds OF
government pherol.
Inquiries yesterday failed to reveal
the price at which the stock will be
sold. bu. the general opinion in the
trade is that II cents a pound will be
asked. Under the terms OF the con-
trsc, the Morsan.o Chemical Works
IS 70 receive two percent commission
to defray the expenses of handling
and selling. The contract also calls
for the disposition OF the phenol with
in four years. Any stocks remaining
after that period will be disposed of
at prices fixed by the War Depart
mcrt.
The situation Of phenol in the mar
kc. yesterday remained unchanged de-
spite this announcement. Prices were
firm at II and II cents pound de-
pending on quantity. Queries among
tgders and chemical brokers elected
the information that buyers display a
tendency to pay higher prices for
phenol IN the open market than wait
for the government stocks.

Silk Underwear No Longer
Regarded in Luxury CIas.

Silk underwear has ceased to be re-
garded by a majority of American
women as an article of luxury. The
demand for has become so general that.
in the opinion OF manufacturers. it is
looked upon as necessary staple in
the feminine wardrobe. Never before
in the annals Of the industry has so
much silk underwear been worn by
women. One large manufacturer re-
Gently stated that summer sales OF his
product were 100 per cent greater than
for any other corresponding period.
The output for fall delivery was en-
tirely consumed three months after il
was placed on the market and so heavy
is the demand for the spring lines
tnat manufacturers are preparing TO
distribute productions on an allotment
basis. Merchants from the smallest
and most sparsely settled communities
Of the United States are writing 10
local manufacturers asking for terms
on silk underwear.
Retailers throughout the country re-
port that customers express a decided
preference for the high priced gar
ments. Prices that will obtain this
spring will average about $2.s5 for
vests and $3.50 for bloomers.
The demand is virtually confined TO
women's garments. Men do not gen.
orally favor that class OF underwear
and because of the tremendous press Of
business manufacturers are not, as a
whole, pushing the sale OF mems lines.

COLORS-Erchdnge Rate
Hurts Sale Of Dyesfufs

Unfavorable foreign exchange rates
have. seriously affected the exporta-
.ions Of dyestufs 20 Europe. Export
ers said yesterday that English deal
crs who had been accustomed 20 pur-
chasing large quantities of dyestuffs
in this country have bought scarcely
any colors during the last few months.
Purchase Of dyestuffs from Germany
have not as yet affected American trade
with England, dealers stated. England.
like the United States, is attempting to
build up her own dyestuf industry, and
will permit only the importation of
solors that cannot be made within the
British Isles. There are many colors
made in this country which cannot be
produced in England, but the unfavo-
able exchange rate has discouraged
purchases.
Spain is reported TO have become d
good buyer o. American dyestufs re-
Gently, and good quantities are being
exported TO that country each week.
Buying in the Orient is still in good
volume. British India has taken large
quantities OF bright shades during the
last month.
In discussing the possible effects OF
tic importation of a six months sup
ply OF German sat dyes, manufacturers
and dealers stated that it may harm
business in many acid and direct colors
now used as substitutes. Dealers,
however take the view that If manu-
fac.urers desire vat dyes thcy will sup
ply these colors. although they come
from German. Leading factors in the
trade were Of the opinion that manu-
facturcIs and dealers would De given
charge Of ;tc distribution OF these vat

Suffering From
"i'rice Shock"

Remembering these facts is impor-
,ant. Remembering them will make Us
a little more patient, u little more con
siderate and little more fair-minded.
And if ever there was a time III world
history when tolerance and judicial
fairness we're of first Importance II Is
to-day. We are badly upset. Our
sense of values is suffering from price
shock. We are experiencing unusual
transitions. We are confused: Many
who pose as our leaders arc making po.
ljtical capital out of our confusion and
adding to i. by stressing the Hon.os-
sential and ignoring the important. We
need patience and clear-headedness s.
We need TO see things as they are. We
need to renew our acquaintance with
the fundamental laws OF life and re
vivc our failing trust in the ternai
efficacy OF these Laws. We need not

member them all Of the time, but also

our attitude toward our government

Working Back to
Normal Conditions

Such Of the other ills Of which We
complain as are real and not imaginary
will be cured by natural processes in
comparatively short time. They ire
war ills. The war is over. The nat
ural forces Of competition are again
free to work. These forces havev heal
ing powers compared with which those
of the best Of legislative medicines are
as nothing. They will work an early
cure. As the function of the doctor at
the sick bed has come 10 be merely TO
rcmovev obstacles to the free exercise
of the wonderful healing powers of
nature: so the function of the govern
ment in this case should he merely to
remove obstacles to the free play Of
natural economic forces. The govern
ment must work with nature. not
against her. 1t can DO this by gather
ing and disseminating information con-
cerning trade and working conditions
and movements, and by preaching
sound political economy. And 1t
should do both. If there is a crying
need for any one thing in this country
to- day, it is for better and more gen
eral understanding Of the fundamental
laws of economies, and of the fact that
these laws cannot be annulled by leg
islative enactment better under
standing of what the other fellow gets,
how he gets it and what he is obliged
to give of himself for it; better un-
derstanding Of the close interdepend-
ence of capital and labor and the fact
that neither one can get something for
nothing; better understanding say
df what the cost Of living is and how
it must be paid. We are saturated
with economic heresies OF the most
fragrant character. Demagogues preach
them. And worse. if anything, leading
publicists constantly give credence to
them by failing to point them out as
they appear or by themselves showing
ignorance of the natural law. Last
week one of the largest daily papers
in the country carried on It's front
page a column article written by its
own special correspondent at Washing
ton. in which in much detail was SET
forth the fact that Congress after deep
research had made the startling dis
covery that taxes laid upon producers
were ultimately paid by consumers.
This article was followed the next day
bv an editorial emphasizing the I'M
portance Of this startling discovery.
incredible as this sounds, 1t IS true.
The name of the newspaper is with
held merely because nothing Is TO he

ment can help in these matters ard u

this il cannot do. More than this /.

government to correct them. And. A.
nally, there is the fact that outside Of
eliminating or decreasing profteerinR
there is nothing the government can do
to change the general level Of prices.
There is nothing that IL can do with
out working havoc with the whole
economic system. It cannot fix"
prices. 1t cannot fix wages. To at
tempt either would be to take a step
into Socialism, a step from which there
would be no turning back. A step
which, if 1t did not lead quickly to
revolution. would lead eventually to
conditions paralleling those of the
stone age. ! say attempt because
the price fixing has been attempted
many times by many governments It
never has been maintained by any.
Price fixing is violation Of natural
law. Probably it cannot be done. Ger
tainly it cannot be done without bring
ing about cataclysmic disorder and de-
stroying the seeds of human progress.
Little as the elimination of profiteering
will effect the present situation. 1t is
all that the government can do. II is
all that the government should attempt

SILkS-Salesmen Start Out
With Lines of Spring Goods

Manufacturers Of imitation uncut
velvet received large orders for their
product yesterday from several big
millinery concers. This new business
was regarded as an indication of a
growing popularity for this product
which was introduced as a substitute
for the French article. The imported
fabric since the war has increased in
price to almost a prohibitive figure and
is now selling for $3.50 year. The
imitation cost the millner $3.50 yard.
which was the price OF the imported
velvet prior to the outbreak Of the
war.
Several of the large jobbers and
especially firms, announced yesterday
that their statesmen had started out
with spring lines. II is believed that
many buyers, especially those from the
Western portions ot the country, will
make their purchases of spring mer-
ckandse from TIE statesmen instead Of
coming TO the market as they did dur
ing the sumner.
