REDUCTION IN LIVING
COSTS, key TOPERIOD
Of READJUSJ NENTS
This Is Opinion Put Forward
Today By Federal Reserve
Board.

Washington, Mar. 17--Reduction in
living costs to the consumer was put
forward today by the federal reserve
board as the key to the readjustment
period. The sorely tried consumer must
have an inning if the transfer from
war to peace is effectually made, the
board says in the bulletin, made pub
lie here.
"Readjustment is a problem, - the
bulletin states. (Which involves cur
tailment Of costs of production to a
point where our manufacturers are able
to satisfy domestic trade and to com
pete favorably with foreigners for ex-
port. 1t involves readjustment of
values generally upon a new basis ere
ated by normalization of prices and
wages FINALLY it involves the effect
i've transfer of labor from war work
back to peace time employment at a
stable and satisfactory remuneration
Each Factor to Bear it's Share
Tho board says that each Of these
factors must bear its share in the gen
eral process of readjustment. If these
do "team work. the board predicts
smooth recession from the great in
flation Of prices and the additions to
the "consumers living costs on every
side.
In connection with its analysis of the
readiustment situation, the board di-
reefs attention to "shifting Of invest
ments without due appreciation of the
hazards Of the situation" 1t warns
that dangers are particularly acute in
this respect since a war loan is beng
floated at time when the whole in
dustry is busily reorganizing.
The opinion is voiced that while the
great readjustmcnt is taking place, ex-
porters as well as domestic manufac-
turers, should take in account the in
ternational trade situation. New i'm
ports are going to enter America and
exporters are going to enter new mar
kets so that a single industry cannot
consider only its individual self, it was
explained. Its relation to all other
lines, domestic, as well as foreign,
must be considered.

Washington March 17.--So many in

for the Goth congress in advance Of its

though the first days of the session
would need the services of the peace

These "political rows" are agitating
both the solons here and those who are

IA contest between Representative

Longworth for control Of the republican
organization.
"A contest between Champ Clark,
former speaker (backed, Of course, by a
large number of democrats) and an
anti-Clark faction determined to beat
him for the democratic leadership Of
the next house.
"a contest between senate progress
republicans and CIRCULARS for control
Of the organization of that body.

stories according TO the Tactlon WIN
which they are in sympathy.
Germany Becoming Converted.
Regardless of any claims which may
,e made by government agencies, Ger
sAny is rapidly becomSag converted to
/stism as the result of radical propa-
and agitation. At the beginning
, Wvear the vast majority of Ger
I'M as strongly opposed to the So
Wet on the ground that such organiza-
tions signified bolshevism. This idea
is changing especially since the raoicals
have advocated equal representation of
employers in all soviets, regardless of
their numerical inferiority. 1t is now
proposed that the bundesrat (upper leg
islative hodse) be abolished and new
soviet congress established in its place,
representing all working groups. This
would provide representation for the
people according to their social status,
while the reichstag would represent
them according to localities.
Supporters of such an organization
are growing rapidly. The governments
may provide for it in the constitution,
hoping thus to avoid the ApriI ycvoiu-
ton, but there is a possibility that the
radicals--confident they have the up
per hand-will demand even more, al.
though their program for governmental
changes has not been made public. II
is known, however, that the radicals
believe it is necessary for the workers
to exercise direct control over all in
dustries. They fear otherwise that
many industries will remain idle, since
the capitalists are not eager to reopen
their factories, in view Of their i'm
pending socialization.

U.S.CoEFERfEs STAND
PAT ON QUESTION Of
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
President VIII Make Strong
Fight For Inclusion Of
Covenant.
By Carl D. Groat

Paris, Mar IL. Foreign Minister
Pinchon S claim that the league of ma
tions will be included in the prelimin-
ary peace treaty was emphatically de
MED today in American official cir
cles.
President Wilson and the other Am
eriean commissioners are standing pat
on its inclusion, it was stated. Surprise
was expressed that Pinehon should hold
views to the contrary.
The president. it is known, intends to
make strong fight for inclusion OF
the league. He feels that France and
Great Britain need the league even
more than America. Hence, Pinchon s
statement astoundcd and somewhat
piqucd the Americans.
Early Peace Desired
An early .peacc Is desired by Presi-
dent Wilson, it was stated, and he
holds that inclusion Of the league in
the pact is vital to Amreica He was
said to be especially surprised at Pi-
chon s action, in view of the fact that
the French, along with the others, sign
the plenary resolution in January for
the league s inclusion.
The president planned to attend this
afternoon s meeting Of the supreme
war council and those close to him be-
lieved that re-statement Of his position
might be forthcoming,
Pichon's Statement
iIo.aho., ~. s,,,odo Ii, 40 o,,on+ x,os
terday in his weekly. conversation with
correspondents, declared that although
fundamental principles of the final
peace are laid down in the preliminary
treaty, the league of nations probably
will not be included. He said that Will
son had not asked that it be included.
The question is yet to be decided, he
said, but inasinuch as neutral countries
will be asked TO submit their opinion
regarding the league before final adop
ton of the covenants he believed the
preliminary pact would be signed be
fore the league is completed.
The preliminary peace, according to
Pichon, will end the state of war, but
will not permit Germany to resume
full relations with other countries. The
blockade will not be lifted completely
before the final treaty. He said the
question Of German-Austria has not
been taken up but that the allies may
offer certain advantages to that eoun
try if it remains independent, which
will not be allowed if it persists in
uniting with Germany.

OFFICIALS CONF USED
|. OVER SITUATION IN
PARIS CONFERENCE
Wilson Expected To Fight For
Embodiment OF League In
First Treaty.
By Robert ]. Bender,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, March 17.-Apparent
disagreement between President Wilson
and Foreign Minister Piehen, as TO
whether the League OF Nations cove
nant could be embodied in the first
peace treaty completed with Germany
added fire to the league fight To-Day
Administration officials here were
obviously confused at the situation aris
ing in Paris. II had been the view here
that the Efirst or second preliminary
treaty" with Germany would be vir-
tualy only an extension of the armis-
tice, not subject to ratification by the
senate and therefore not necessarily
containing the league covenant. United
Press dispatches today, however, indi-
cate that the preliminary treaty will be
subject TO senate ratification and will
cover most Of the peace treaty articles,
including those for reparation and in
IDENTITIES and for arranging boundar-
les.
In view of this, the president will
certainly carry his fight to finish for
embodiment of the league in the first
treaty.
Obstacles in His RAIN.
Obstacles in the path of this fight
involve the calling Of meeting of ncu-
trails on March 20-iust five days be-
fore the preliminary treaty with Ger
many is now scheduled to be ready
for neutral views on the league ques-
tion. Also the increasing demands for
an early peace in all the allied coun-
tries, and the growing seriousness Of
the situation in Germany as disclosed
by & United Press dispatch from Berlin
today, indicate there must be little en-
thusiasm over an attempt by the presi-
dent to prolong completion Of the treaty
by insisting upon injection Of the league
covenant ~
The presidents predicament led to
''star chamber discussion in some
quarters of his probable disapnoint-
ment, if not anger. at avs l.mericsn
peace colleagues allowing the league sit
uation to be maneuvered out of their
hands,
To Regain Lost Ground.
There. was agreement, however, that
the president would make every effort
10 regain the ground lost during his alb
sence, and the opinion here was that
the success of his battle now apparent
ly depended upon how firmly the Brit
ish and Italian delegates stood pat on
the plenary session resolution calling
for embodiment of the league cove.

Berlin, March 13.-(By courier TO

the failure of the government to com
pietely stamp out the Spartacan upris-
sng, are planning to proclaim establish
ment of a soviet republic next month
While the cabinet continues to strug-
gle with the Spartacans and tries to
untangle the apparently hopeless food,
industrial and political problems, all
radieal elements are uniting in perfect
ing their revolutionary program, They
are confident they will win from the
exhausted government. Even govern
ment officials are beginning to admit
the cabinet S position is seriously
threatened despite the optmsuc re-
ports given out by the official press
bureau and the semi-official Wolff
Agency. Conservative members OF the
foreign office, supporters Of War Min
lister Noske and others are spccuiating
~ to the endurance Of the Ebert
Scheidemann government. Although
the government has by no means suffer
ed military defeat, its troops have not
succeeded in surrounding the Sparta
cans who have escaped from various
nets and have retreated into the sub
pcrately aud cleverly. The government
70 far has been unable 70 muster
enough troops to capture the Spartacsns
aud at the same time effectively guard
the large Berlin area. The newspapers
are filled with advertisements calling
for volunteers to fill up the republican
regiments, but the responses are neg
Egible.
Stirring Up Trouble.
1t is evident that large numbers Of
the Spartaeans who escaped from Berlin
are stirring up further trouble in out
tying districts. Their hatred has been
famed by Noske's order to execute all
who resist the government. The radi-
Gals regard this as sign Of weakness
and fing desperation on the part of

are being used in an effort TO wan ,ne
