SEES NO DROP IN LIVING COST.
Babson Says High Labor Will Keep
Figures Up.

Washington, May 12.-No material
reduction of prices except on articles
on which an excessive profit was
made during the war will take place
for some time, in the opinion of the
department Of labor. a general econo- :
mic readjustment to permanent
higher price level may be the result.
"In spite of the most highly compete
tive conditions, brought on by q search
ty Of orders in many Industries. prices
have not materially receded, excepting
for raw materials" said Roger w.
Babson of the department, last night
MANY who have pinned their faith
in lower prices are pointing to declines
in the cost Of few raw materials, like
cotton, wool and leather. They forget
that wearing apparel and other manu-
factured products before reaching the
public, have gone thru so many hands
and processes, all requiring labor in its
broa dest sense. that the final cost IL
largely determined by the labor cost
I'VE should not forget that Is per
cent or more Of the total cost Of most
commodities consists Of labor in some
form or other. The price Of labor can
not come down in this country as long
as we have the present potential scar
city Of workers, great latent demands
for goods. high taxation, and world
scarcity Of food.
'From the standpoint of the colp
munity interests it makes very liMe
difference whether the basis OF ex-
change is on high level or a low
level, that is, whether prices computed
in money are high or low. The disad-
vantage to the community occurs In
changing levels from low prices to
high prices or from high prices to low
prices, because complete change can
not be made in all lines Of commodities
at exactly the same time.
"Only increased efficiency Of produc-
tion, whether accompanied by high or
low prices. can bring lasting benefits
to all s
Exactly what will happen to prices
in the near future no one can. Of
course, definitely foretell. However.
expectations which are, entertained as
to speedy and radical declines, excep.
where profits can be shown to be ex-
cessive. are apparently based more on
hope than on careful atudy Of, the
law, Of supply and demand"

Replies Decided Upon.
[By Havas Agency.l

Paris, May 1.-THE peace confer
ence leaders are reported by the news
papers to have decided yesterday upon
the terms Of the reply to be made to the
two notes sent to President Clemen-
ceau Of the peace conference on Sat
urday evening by Count Won Brock
dorff- Rantzau.
The first Of these notes asked that
there be a reciprocal policy adopted as
to the repatriation OF prisoners, and
requested that the details Of the trans
fer be placed in the hands Of COM
mission. In his second note the head
OF the German peace delegation ad-
vanced a counter-project as to inter-
national labor legislation.
According to the newspapers the
basis OF the second note is a labor
charter inspired by the conference at
Leeds and Berne. and they argue that
the purpose is to create among social
lists an opinion favorable to Germany
by putting into direct collaboration the
working classes and the present gov
ernment Of that country.

places have made it necessary for him to
90 across the continent telling the people
what is in the treaty of peace.
President Wilson is one of those gen.
tlemen that is daily amazed at the atti-

returns to his post of duty he will, no
doubt be more amazed over the swath
that he has cut in his attempt to harvest
