Been Completed


Washington, March 9.-Comra-
ton of the personnel of the'indus-
trial board for fastening the return
of prices and wages to a normal
level was announced today Through
the Council of National Defense,
Associated with George N. Peek,
of Moline, Ill.,, former member of
the war industrial board, as chair
man of the new organization, are
Samuel P. Bush, of Columbus, Ohio;
Anthony Caminetti, commissioner OF
immigration; Thomas K. Glenn, of
Atlanta; George R.. James, of Mem
phis; T. C. Powell, of Cincinnati, and
VIM. NJ. Ritter, of West Virginia.
The chief purpose of the new
board, it was announced, is to bring
about the operation Of the laws of
supply and demand, interfered with
by the processes of war. To this end
conferences will be held with rep
resentatives of the chief industries
to "decide on prices to be offered to
the nation as the governmentally
approved judgment on price scale
low enough to encourage buying
and the resumption of normal activ-
ities."
"As soon as stable and whole
some scale of prices is achieved"
said the announcement, "the cost of
living will have so far been reduced
as to create automatically reductions
in the price of labor without inter-
fering with American standards and
ideals for the treatment and living
conditions of labor, and thus the
last initiating element will have been
withdrawn from prices. 1t is believ-
ed that industry will agree that the
cost of living must be substantially
reduced before labor should be ask
ed to accept lower wages and thus
industry should stand the first shock
of readjustment.
"Basic commodities, such as steel
building materials, textiles and food,
will be considered first and brought
to a stable basis. The governmental
policy, as expressed by the bill to
authorize purchase by the govern
ment of wheat at the guaranteed
price and resale of it at the world
price, is to assist in bringing prices
of basic commodities to normality
by bringing down the cost OF living.
1t is hoped that these steps alone
will automatically operate to reduce
price of fabricated articles. If they
do not do so in any particular case,
the industry affected will be invited
into conference.
"The assurance to the country
of a market stabilized at the lowest
reasonably expected level will loos-
en- such food of buying for the re-
creation of stocks, the making up
arrears in the building program, the
feeding of needs long starved by
economy and the invasion of world
markets, as may stand unprecedented
in this country. From the stable
level thus reached by cooperation we
may expect a healthy and normal

condition created by the complete
and unhampered operation of the
law of supply and demand"
In reply to the objection that a
general reduction in selling prices
now will force industry and COM
merce to take loss on products
purchased at war prices, the boards

the proposed plan would be less than
