in all parts of the United States, and
has made more acquaintance and
delved more deeply into American
women's affairs than most visitors from
England. She came first during the
war as an emissary of the British gov
eminent to talk over women's war
problems with the leaders of the move
ment here.
American women are more optimis-
tic and energetic than we are" she
said. "You never talk about the faults
Of your present systems, but of the
reforms you intend to bring about.
We, on the other hand, talk too much
about the present defects and trust
to our friends to assume that we mean
to bring about reforms"
Miss Fraser intends to "go in" for
politics in England, because owing to
the loss Of men voters during the war
the women of England will have an IN
usually large proportionate influence
In politics.
1.-THE women must be educated along
political lines, for the future Of the
country depends on their votes" said
Miss Fraser. II hope to establish
'Women's Centres in our large cities,
where women can have Offices, bureaus
Of information and meeting halls. We
shall continue, too.s all over England
the bureaus Of Women's Service, which
advised women during the war as to
the lines Of work for which they were
best fitted"

ciergymen that it was not possible for
the Catholic Church to take part in
the proposed world conference. The
Pope said that as Successor to St.
Peter, the Vicar of Christ has no
greater desire than that there should
be but one fold and one shepherd" He
added that the teaching and practice
of the Catholic Church regarding unity
of the visible church is we'll known to
every one and, therefore, it would not
be possible for the Catholic Church to
participate in the proposed confer
ence."
The Pope explained that he in no.
wise wished to disapprove Of the par
ticipation in the conference Of those
who are not united to tho chair of St
Peter, but on the contrary, he earnest
ly desires and prays that "those who
take part in the conference may by
the grace of God see the light and re-
unite with the visible head of the
church, by whom they will be received
with open arms"
Regret Stand of Benedict
After the visit to the Vatican, the
deputation issued this note:
"The deputation regrets that the
Roman Catholic Church will not be
represented in the world conference
as substantially all the rest of Christ
endom has promised to cooperate. The
preparations for the conference will
proceed and the deputation will con.
tinue its work unit, invitations are
presented to those communions which
have not yet been reached"

that many OF the excuses for high prices
are simple fiction. These are his two
remedies. There is doubtless much vir-
tue in all this.
Profiteering is one Of the causes of
high prices and profiteering makes the
most Of the opportunity created by the
belief that all previous standards are
gone and that the people must expect
ever increasing prices. In popular psy
chology, momentous prices are dramatic.
Big public enemies somewhere behind
the scenes are guilty. The big public
friend the President, may punish the
sinners. The Presidents address ap-
peals cleverly to this popular concep-
ton. In political economy, the EN-
phasis on the Presidents mind is always
on the word political"
Where the Rub Comes
On the great fundamental reason fol
high prices the President has not wore
to say. 1t is not a popular subject
The production Of -aper money has gon,
on good deal faster than the produc
ton of commodities. To bring abou
a parity it is necessary to reverse gears
in the production Of paper money ant
put on full speed ahead in the produc
tion of commodities.
The only danger in the President
psychological remedy for high prices il
that it may interfere with this process
II any one checks the full speed aheaC
in the production of commodities
whether he is railroad striker, Mr.
Wilson fears, or a President, he will
only make the next estate of the purse

BROOKLYN CAR STRIKE
HITS CONEY ISLAND
HaIf-HoIiday Throng Fails to
Gather at B. r. T. Terminals
as Usual
MEDIATION PLAN WABBLlNG

New York. Aug. .o.-The usual Sat
urday throngs at Manhattan terminals
of Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
lines to Concy Island and Brighton
Beach were absent early today. The
strike of Brooklyn carmen, which for
three days has virtually stopped traffic
on the surface, subway and elevated
lines of the company, made the tie up
equally as complete today.
A few elevated and subway trains
were operated during the night, but the
service was sporadic and the patronage
extremely light. No surface cars we're
operated after 9 o'clock last night and
the number ordered out of the barns this
morning was greatly inadequate for the
traffic demands.
In an effort to settle the strike, Lewis
Nixon. public service commissioner. ar e
ranged to meet a committee of strikers
and listen to tEcir grievances. In view
of the declaration of Lindley NJ. Gar
rison, receiver for the Brooklyn Rapid
| Transit Company. that he would not
! treat with a committee that represented
the union, it was Commissioner Nixon
plan TO urge appointment of repre-
sentative delegation of all employees.
| As recognition of the union is chic
among the strikers demands, however
much doubt was expressed that Mr.
Nixon's plan would be successful.
The possibility that the strike nigh
soon spread to surface lines in Man.
haitian loomed large last night, when a
meeting of 800 employees of the New
York City Street Railways Company
called by officials to question the mer
regarding the report that they intended
to strike for increased wages, the mo
tormen and conductors openly expressed
dissatisfaction.
