Relief to Come Only When
Social and Industrial I'm
rest Ends, Says Secretary
of the Food Ministry
Many Countries Hungry
Normal Production First
Necessary Before the Bal
ance Can Be Reach d

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE world can
expect no relief from the present high
cost of living and the shortage of
commodities until the widespread social
and industrial unrest has disappeared
and the war shattered economic ma
chinery has been put in order, accord
Ing to Charles A. McCurdy, parliament
tary secretary to the Ministry of Food
Mr.. McCurdy expressed this view during
an interview with correspondent of
The Associated Press, and added that
he was not particularly optimistic over
the chances of any marked bette rment
OF the situation in the near future.
1--WE have Bolshevism at one end of
the world and widespread strikes at the
other said Mr.. McCurdy, "and not
until society resumes it's normal course
can we right economic conditions.
sit is difficult to prophesy regarding
the food situation of the future, in view
Of the fact that the whole economic
structure of the world has been SO
badly dislocated. There is hardly any
factor of business that is stable, and
we do not know what wages are to be-
AS result of these conditions the reg
ular channels of distribution are dis
organized, and until they are normal it
will be impossible to tell what effective
supplies there are as compared with
the world stocks.
"While it is true that America, Eng
land and some other countries are
sufficiently supplied now so that there
is no distress among the people, yet
this comparative abundance is in real
ity fictitious one, and may not last.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-12-14

Great sections Of the world are actu-
ally hungry because Of the impossible
ttyn Of distributing supplies properly
II the channels Of distribution were
open and the economic conditions were
such that foodstuffs could be pur-
chased by those countries which need
them we probably would find ourselves
faced with shortage in many things.
"For example, If the peoples of Cen
trial Europe should be in position
next year to purchase the meat they
need there would be a world shortage
Of several million tons. 1t is improb-
able that they will be able to buy, but
it is impossible to predict SO far in
advance. / believe that year from
now things will have been brought to
head, and that the world will be fac
ing its most critical time.
There are those who tell mo that I
am wrong in my outlook and that there
will be no shortage, but can figure it
no other way. There certainly are
many countries now which are secur-
ing far below what they need in the
way Of foodstuffs, and when the time
comes for them to buy it will be i'm
possible to refuse them their fair
share of what the world produces. We
cannot let one part of the world starve
while another section has plenty.
Must Return to Normal
There is another factor to be con-
sdered also. Where production has
been stimulated during the war 1t
must ultimately revert to normal. 1t
is not natural as it stands. In the
United States, for instance, the meat
production has been artiticially stimu-
lated, and it is hard to estimate when
this temporary condition will vanish.
America next year may be an importer
of meat, instead of big exporter See
what that would mean to the rest of
the world.
con the other hand, production has
been crippled in maLy countries. In
this case the process Of getting back
to normal is likely to be slower than
in the case Of the war stimulated pro-
duction.
actual shortage Of IL per cent in sheep
and larger shortage in pigs. Because
of this, Europe would have to import
$500, 900 tons of meat this coming year.
If it were to return to it's pre-war con-
sumption.
I'm regard to wheat. the exportable
surplus of the world is down compared
with that before the war. Import re-
qulrements at the same time are up.
The same thing is true of butter and
in some countries its consumption has
been increased by the lack of margar-
inc. There is also a sugar shortage.
The beet sugar production has dropped
off 100000 tons in Europe since 1914.
The cane sugar production Of the world
meantime has increased only 100000

KING or POLITICAL BOSSES"
William M. Tweed Has Had Many
Followers, But None May Be
Considered His Equal.

William NJ. Tweed, the most notort-
Gus boss in the history of New York.
wore, at the height Of his power, the
$1,000 badge Of Tammany,f a tigers
head with eyes of ruby, surmounted by
three large diamonds. He died In
Ludlow street Jail, unable to raise bail
for his release.
Tweed was head OF the Tammany
"Wigwam." He was a state senator
and at the same time street commits
sioner. He had personal and political
following that remained faithful 10
him even in his downfall In July,
1871, figures were dug out Of the coun-
ty books showing that Tweed and his
associates had been gouging the city
and county for millions OF dollars.
One item alone was Of 100000 for
carpets for the county court house.
1t was found that enough carpets had
been bought-or at least paid for-to
cover eight acres of City Hall park
three layers deep. A mass meeting Of
citizens was held. Tweed was arrest
ed, and released ON 100000 ball.
Even after this, he was reelected to
the state senate by 1900 plurality.
He escaped from his house with the
>conniyance Of his keepers, but was re-
turned. He was brought to trial la
1873, on charge Of grand larceny and
forgery, and sentenced to II years
Imprisonment and heavy fine. The
sentence was reversed In 1875, but
Tweed was unable to furnish bail and
was committed to Jail. He escaped to
Spain later In the same year, was
caught and brought back on a warship
and again imprisoned In Ludlow street
jail, where he died.

Old Roman Plumbers.

There were plumbers in ancient
Rome. and they knew their business
well. The great baths (most impor-
tant and extensive Of all the public
buildings) were supplied with water
by elaborate piping systems. Along
the principal streets ran lines Of tall
pillars of light construction, carrying
pipes through which running water
was supplied to the dwellings on ell
Their side.
When the ancestors of the present
day Germans had destroyed Rome.
and with 1t the Roman civilization, the
plumbing art was lost. 1t stayed lost
until within recent years, and now we
are reviving it with some strictly mod
ern improvements.

district to fight the forest fires now
raging in the district. State Ranger
Murphy also has crew there. Other
fires are reported on the north shores

Should the lake shore fires not be

DID MUCH GOOD
BUSINESS
COMMERCIAL CLUB MET TUES
DAY EVENING-FINE
MEETING.

Considering the lack of enthusiasm
for indoor gatherings during the hot
months, the Ely Commercial Club
meeting Tuesday evening at the club
rooms in the Community Center was
well attended and Considerable of in
terest to the city and surrounding
country was brought before the meet
ing and discussed.
The exhibit for the coming State
Fair was talked over and from all
that was said and done it is apparent
that the Commercial Club has paved
the way for a display that will at
tract attention to the outing and ag-
ricultural possibilities of this section
of the state. The National Forest
Service has signified its intention of
giving a high-priced show of its own
in connection with the st. Louis
County exhibit. This forest exhi-
bition is claimed by those who have
seen it in the western states as one
of the finest ever shown and is of
such magnitude that only few states
of the union get it. The Club also
decided to engage the services of
Fred B. James to have charge of the
Ely exhibit and to diffuse informa-
tion to those attending the Fair.
H. E. White reported on the meet
ing of the Northern Minnesota De-
velopment Association at Cass Lake
and also on the Burlington Way pos
sibilities. Mr.. White was very en-
thusiastic over the sheep proposition
as viewed by those who knew at Cass
Lake and he also inferred from cor
respondence had with officials that
Ely would get the Burlington High
way.
The advent of the sheep in the
Stoney River section came up for a
fair share of discussion and it was
the unanimous opinion of those pres
ent that the Club go on record as
favoring the project and also pledging
all possible assistance to those in
charge of the industry. The secre-
tary was instructed to convey these
sentiments to the Northern Sheep &
Wool Company.
It was also decided to get in touch
with the county officials of Lake
County in regards to the road south
to the shores of Lake Superior and
to connect with the Lake Shore High
way of the Babcock system. With
the road in passable condition to
the Isabella River and which could
be made fair with medium outlay
of money and the construction of a
few miles to connect with the Lake
Shore drive at Finland, this road can
be put through. It would open up
considerable farming country and
large area of grazing lands. The
advent of the sheep into that section
makes the highway necessity.

good roads in the last session of the
