THE SHOE GRAFT.


Shoe prices are and have been un
reasonably high Yet we are warned
that higher prices are coming ano
that 1926 shoes will soon be reality
The reason given for this is thai
leather is scarce and high and the de-
mand for shoes is far in excess Of the
supply.
Today's Associated Press dispatches
tell us that the American chamber of
commerce has demanded that England
increase it's importation of shoes from
the United States to take the "sur-
plus" shoes made in this country.
Representation has been made to
England that she should increase her
importation of shoes from the United
States, now that the war is over and
it is pointed out to England that she
cannot make all of the shoes needed
in her own country and her colonies
and should give the United States an
opportunity to place the surplus shoes
made here in English territory.
The price of hides took big drop
recently, the drop being about 20
cents a pound all through, but follow
ing the announcement of the decline
in hide prices comes the announcement
of increased shoe prices. This is in
line with the profiteering that is being
carried on every where in the United
States When the nrice of flo,1r was
ordered down from 81 to So per bar
rel the price of bread advanced one
cent a loaf
That these increasing prices in the
face Of decreasing cost of raw ma
terial are merely graft of the rank

argument. Manufacturers of almost

known to the Catholic hierarchy of

my mind
! "On one OF our first trips over there
was on board beIlhop named Nc
. Gunigle from North Dakota. He was
% years old and had had little ex-
psr.ence or training that fitted him
for war. The voyage was hard one,
many of the crew became sick. Our
Captain called for volunteers to shovel
coal in the engine room Mac vol
unteered and shovelled coal for hours
at stretch. When he reached France
br was put in charge of squad
picked for hand bombing. He had had
nc training along this line, but because
OF his intelligence was placed as in
| structor TO the group.
Il saw him at Brest seven months
later. in July waiting 10 return. Both
hands had been blown of when he had
picked up two bombs! And this Is the
way he greeted me:
Chaplain he said. 4 can't shovel
coal this time. but I'd like to make a

"'Oh, a stump" speech he said
with a grin. as he waved his hapdless
arms and confded TO me his shame
that his Government was going TO
