REMEDY FOUND FOR
HIGH COST OF LIVING
Council of National Defense
Reports Findings of In
vestigation.

Washington.-After an investigation
of the high cost of living problem. the
council Of national defense finds:
That the nations productive pow
ers have not been fully utilized since
the armistice.
That too few goods, notably the
necessities of life, have been produced,
and that even some of these goods
have been withheld from the market.
THAT the high cost of living is due
In part to unavoidable war waste and
increase of money and credit
THAT there has been and is consid-
cradle profiteering. intentional and IN
intentional"
The council believes that the rene
dies for the situation are:
ITO produce more goods and to pro-
duce them in proportion to the needs
Of the people.
ITO stamp out profittering and stop
unnecessary boarding.
ITO enforce vigorously present laws
and promptly to enact such further
laws as are necessary to prevent and
punish profiteering and needless
boarding.
TO bring about better cooperation
and method in distributing and mar
keting goods
TO keep both producer and con-
sumner fully informed as to what goods
are needed and as to what supplies
are available, so that production may
anticipate the country's demands.
Better standards of living are i'm
possible without producing more
goods said the councils announce
ment.
"At the wars end, we and our allies
had desperate need of the essentials
of life. We have had to share our
resources with them, but this drain
will gradually lessen.
"The process of production requires
time. If production is rapidly increas-
ing, vastly improved conditions will
prevail in America when the results of
tho pICbOAI dAu ldUOl DC6lu "
appear.
Teamwork is imperative. The man.
ufacturer, the farmer, the distributor,
must each Immediately assume his
part of the burden.
"On American business rests a grave
responsibility for efficient co-opera-
ton in bringing about full and proper
tionate production. On American Ia
Dor rests an equally grave responsible
ity to attain maximum unit production
and maintain uninterrupted distribu-
ton of goods If labor is not to suffer
from further rises in the cost of liv-
ing.
"The entire nation-producer. dis
tributor and consumer alike-shouId
return to the unity that won the war
Group interest and undue personal
gain must give way to the good of the
whole nation If the situation is to be
squarely met"
The council is composed of Secre-
taries Baker, Daniels, Lane, Houston,
Redfield and Wilson and Grover B.
Clarkson as director.
