New York.-The cost of the essen
tials of life, which has assumed such
proportions of oppressivenessi will
soon be reduced, according to state
ment issued by Julius Barnes, United
States wheat director. Now that the
European nations are approaching .

and life devoted to destruction, men
all over the world will return to pro-
ductive industries.

Barnes statement reads, "who have
for four years been fighting desper-
ately and blindly Belgium has strug-
gled to its feet and the Belgian re-
lief commission has discontinued its
work there because these people are
again able to stand alone. Poland.

late future. The effect of these re-
placements in production and orderly
distributions viii tighten the strain
on America, and our own fortunate
country win be enabled to turn more
OF It's production into domestic mar
kets."
The increased cost OF living, Mr..
Barnes points out. has been due 20
entirely natural laws. The imitation
was due to the expansion of world
credit, which to those with fixed In
comes meant a burden Of hardship.
The sacred obligation to feed the
famished countries had to be carried
out
Now that the burden has been d.
minished. there should be material
reduction in prices Of food.

tions for Europe, on the one hand,
