WHAT PRICE-FIXING HAS
MEANT.

The United States Government
fixed price $3.50 per bushel for
wheat at the farm. Corn and
other grains went up automatic
ally. The wheat price means
corn at close to 81. 40, rye at $3.50,
oats at nearly 70 cents. 1t means
incidentally, milk at 16 cents a
quart, eggs IS cents a dozen, but
ter s. cents a pound, barreled
salt pork at AZ cents a pound,
lard at Is cents, beef at a min
imum of 80 cents for the cheaper
cuts. In other words, most of
the items that make feeding a
family expensive and compel the
Initiation of wages spring out
of this lavish price fixing on
grain, says the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle.
The war is ended so far as eco
nomlc conditions 60. Australia's
wheat can be sold at ST. 20 in our
markets. Canada and Argentine
can meet the Australian price.
But the United States Govern
ment feels in honor bound, so
far as the crop of 1919 is con-
cerned, to pay the farmer his
81. 20. Shall it seek to bar out
foreign grains and compel Amer
leans to pay impossible prices?
Shall it take the wheat and hold
it? Selling the stuff without
loss IN open market against a
world price so much lower would
be an impossibilty against impor-
tations, and we assume that the
people would not permit any such
such stone wall.
The Department of Agriculture
has devised a scheme, so it is re-
ported. 1t would keep pledges
to the farmers, buy at 81. 20, and
sell at what it gets, charging the
difference to profit and loss; in
effect, making the taxpayers
meet it. Of course, that is TAX
ing money out of the pockets of
one class to give it to another
class, pernicious in principle, but
not so overwhelmingly injurious
in practical effect as trying to
make artificial prices permanent.
1t is not hard to read the hand
writing on the wall. Wheat
must come down. Corn must
come down. All feeds must come
down, and with them beef, pork,
mutton and dairy products.
Hence wages must come down
despite the noisy claims of the
union agitators, wages as meas
ured in dollars. We do not ex-
pect actual wages measured in
barrels of -four or barrels of pork
or pounds=of sugar to go lower.
The trend Of civilizations is up-
ward, and we all hope that trend
will be maintained.
President Wilson figured when
he vetoed the wild plan of rails
ing the farm prices of wheat to
$40, that quick ending of the
war would involve a loss to tax
pages on the 1919 crop of $780,
900, 900 if the lower price remain
ed. We shall not get off so easily
as that. The Department of

EXTRA SESSION IMPENDING.

EAIRA SESSlON lMf
1t now seems to be the pretty
general opinion among congress-
ional leaders of both parties
that an extra session of Con.
gress cannot be avoided. But six
reg ular. appropriation bills have
been passed, and there are nu.
merous questions of great import.
ance awaiting the action Of Con-
gress. It is intimated that Con.
gress will be summoned in extra
session in May, which would give
time for the passage of leftover
appropriation bills before the be.
ginning of the fiscal year.
The question of an extra sess-
ion has held much interest for
the politicians. Republicans are
known to have been anxious for
one though unwilling to fillibuster
or delay the work of Congress
in order to force it. Upon the
other hand the friends of Presi-
dent Wilson were certain that he
wished to avoid an extra session
if possible; at least that he did
not care to have Congress meet
ing while the peace conference
was concluding its labors.
But circumstance seems to
have controlled the question
more than the wishes of either
Republicans or Democrats. It
lies, however, with the President
as to the when the new Congress
shall be convened, so that it now
appears probable that it will not
be called together until the peace
treaty is concluded and ready to
be laid before the Senate.
The general public is less in
terested in any possible political
jockeying over an extra session
than in the really great issues
Congress will pc called upon to
solve. Action should be taken
as promptly as possible on the
questions which have a direct
bearing upon the domestic situa-
ton in order that the industrial
readjustment may be accomplish
ed as speedily and successfully
as may be.-Washington Post
Robert Lansing, Secretary of State,
will be one of the two members of the
American committee created Saturday
by the peace conference to deal with
the question of responsibility for the
war. The other member will probably
be one of the experts attached to the
who is now preparing the
American views on this important ques-
ton that carries with it the verdict of
life or death to the former German
and some of his generals and
admirals, and even civilian officials.
