The lack of landing places need not
continue a hindrance to the develop
ment of peace-time flying here. In
Massachusetts, q group of veteran
aviators back from the war recently
appeared before the legislative COM
mittee on roads and bridges and urg-
ed the passage of a law providing for
the creation of Just such needed sta
tions. They pointed out the fact that
when all the men are back there
will be several hundred airplane
pilots in the state. a considerable
number of whom will no doubt be
interested in the further develop
ment OF aviation.
In Washington a move has already
been made In this direction. The
Northwest Aircraft Company has
leased a gold links near Spokane.
The company intends to maintain a
landing place there for airplanes,
with free parking privileges for pas
senger, mail or express planes.
Perhaps the most businesslike eff
fort to promote commercial aviation
is that made by the United Aircraft
Engineering Company which has al
ready purchased 400 planes from the
Canadian government. This COM
pany also owns aviation fields, re-
pair depots and general equipment
sufficient for the operation of a pas
senger and freight line between To-
ronto and Hamilton, Ont.

WAR CASUALTIES ARE
NEARING AN END

Washington, Mar. 26.-The last OF
the real American casualty lists in
the world war are now being pub
lished in the daily newspapers and
within the next few days the lists
will contain practically only the
names OF those who have died or
who have been injured since the ar
mistice. The names of the few given
as killed in action are those OF men
for whom extended investigation had
been necessary to establish proof of
death.
Daily casualty lists will continue
to be issued, however, indefinitely
because as long as the expeditionary
forces remain in Europe there will
be deaths from disease. The next
of kin will continue to receive Off
cial notifications.

THE NEW PRICE LEVEL


Many people who keep hoping that
prices will drop to somewhere near
their pre-war level base this hone
on the fact that our currency system
at present is highly inflated. This
initiation is bound to stop soon, they
argue. Then, with less money and
credit available, the price Of nearly
everything will go down accordingly.
Now, our currency is certainly in
flated, admits Prof. Irving Fisher of
Yale. But he does not agree that
there is going to be any let-up. The
government tried to force a deflation
after the Civil war, he recalls, by re-
ducing the quantity OF greenbacks in
circulation; depression ensued i'm
mediately, and congress had to for
bid any further reduction.
Against any considerable reduc-
ton in bank credit" he says, I'VE
shall find the whole business COM
munity in arms" And without such
a reduction there can be no general
fall in prices.
There is worldwide cause, too,
operating to maintain and even to
continue swelling the general volume
of credit. Deposit banking, he points
out, has increased greatly during the
war, in response to government de-
mands in all the warning countries,
and it will increase vastly hereafter.
Money goes out of circulation and
out OF Improbable hiding places in
to bank vaults, and there becomes a
basis for new circulating credits.
Even the Chinese and the people of
India are learning. This new habit
will lead to a great currency expan-
sion. 1T is as if a new source of
gold supply had been discovered"
Nobody then need talk hopefully
of the prices Of 1913 and 1914. 1t
is futile to try to bring them back,
asserts Mr.. Fisher. Buyers have
been trying it, with insignificant re-
suits.
There is new high price level,
maintains this expert, and it will
prove to be stubborn reality. The
clever business man, he says, is not
the one who waits to buy raw ma
terials or manufactured articles he
needs, but the one who accepts the
new price facts and acts accordingly
The professors testimony gives
strong support to the buy now
movement with is being launched by
some OF the enthusiasts over the
country, yet 1t will be hard to con-
vince the majority of the American
public that present inflated prices
are not going to come down; and
in their tumble they will bring down
the wage scale. Actual values are
bound to find their level
