WILSON SAYS LEAGUE
"NOW ALMOST FACT"
In ADDRESS In PARIS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE,

a British compromise between the
French and American viewpoints.
Information predicted that under
the new armistice terms the German
army will be reduced to a "strict
minimum" probably about twenty di-
visions; that the allies VIII assume
control of the metallurg,C establish
ments in Westphalia and the Ruhr
Valley, and that all war materials
which cannot be diverted INTO domes-
tic use will be taken over. The news
paper estimated that the latter pro-
vision would yield 1000 additional
heavy cannon, 10000 field guns, 50, 900
machine guns and 300 arrplanes.
Whether a general session of the
Peace Conference will be held this
week was still doubtful today. Al
meeting of the League of Nations
committee, seven articles of the re-
draft of the constitution had been
completed. The question of an in
ternationaI police force, proposed by
the French, had not been reached
when the committee resumed it's
session at $3.50 this afternoon.
To Employ Enemy Liners.
The inter-aIlied committee on
maritime transport decided today
that German and Austrian liners
shall be temporarily employed prin-
cipally in repatriating troops and
that freighters shall be used in car
rying food for both enemy and lib
Grated countries. The ships will be
apportioned among the associated
powers.
The Crimean government will ac-
cept the associated powers invita-

ipos on the Russian situation, it

As soon. however, as we en-
tered the war there We're added
to these forces of price imitation
the additional forces Of govern
ment loans and Of increasing cur
rency. Instead Of issuing lon9
time bonds at market rates, the
government issued comparatively
low interest bonds, and had ac-
cordingly to keep going by I'M
mense issues of temporary loan
certificates which contributed di-
rectly to an initiation OF bank
credit and thus to still higher
prices.
'"rhen came the prodigious in'
crease Of federal reserve bank
notes which has now reached
over two and one-half billion dol
lars, with a corresponding eXpaL-
sion in loans and discounts.
Thus the rise in prices in this
country was exactly as inevitable
as in every other country and as
in every great war
"Of course, it has been accent
uated by war profiteering, which
invariably follows il such an up
heayal, and which in this country
has been only partly offset by our
excess profits taxes. But infla-
tion is obviously at the root of it.
" 1t therefore is not so much a

HIGHER PRICE LEVEL PER
MANENT?

The profiteer is a bad egg, ne
doubt about that, and he finds
few defenders. But we cal
"cuss" the profiteers till they art
black and blue in the face, at th'
same time lanbasting them with
public sentiment as well as the
law. without securing any sub
stantal relief from high prices.
There is no doubt that in some
cases greed has capitalized the
conditions which make it possible
to squeeze consumers, gorging IT.
self with inordinate gains, but
when the most of this sort OF
thing is said, and when every
thing possible has been done to
curb the profiteers, the cost of
most commodities will still re
main high in comparison with the
prices which formerly pre-
vailed.
Going cunning for profiteers in
the hope Of solving the problem
OF the high cost Of living is like
applying skin treatment for a
malady that is dcep-seated in the
blood or vital organs Of the body;
it may have a local effect, giving
some measure Of temporary re
lief, but it cannot reach the root
Of the malady In this connection
a statement issued by Mr. How
ard E. Figg, state fair price adj
ministrator in Oklahoma, is
worthy Of note after one
week S Investigation into the
problem Of the high cost of liv-
ing, am thoroughly convinced
that no great amount Of profiteer-
ing has been done in any line Of
business" said Mr. Figg, refer
ring particularly to the retail
business. Mr.. Figg suggested
that some reductions might be cf-
fected by eliminating the numer-
ous turn-overs between producers
and consumers, but he added,
There is existing a world short
age in many great commodities;
prices now as always are gov
erned by supply and demand. "
and he further eXprcssed the
opinion that there cannot be any
great reduction expected in the
cost Of many commodities.
1t is noticeable that practically
all Of the great economists are in
accord with this view although
they carry their analysis Of the
causes Of present conditions fur
ther. For example; Prof. p. r.
A. Seligman, political economist,
OF Columbia university, raises the
question as to whether the great
price revolution of the past few
years has brought us to a per-
manently high price level. He
says:
1.-THE prosperity engendered by
the war, the immense increase of
output in the United States, the
prodigious amount Of our exports
and our change from q debtor to
a creditor nation-all these
things have contributed to bring
about a great increase in costs
and in the standard of life Of
the community, which have all
the elements Of permanenca.
:" 1t is then, unlikely that we
shall ever return to the price
level of pre-war times.
Let us analyze The conditions
Of initiation as it exists today in
the United States; Prices rose
very greatly before we entered
the war, and before the govern
ment borrowed a single dollar.
The price increase was due on the
one hand to the immense de
the part Of Europe and on the
other hand to the immense IN
crease of our gold circulation.

CLEARS CENTER
MARKET AISLES
Company Issues Order
Against Blocking Passage
ways with Surplus Stock.

A new order has been issued by the
Washington Market Company to the
stall renters at the Center Market
prohibiting the use of the passage
ways of the market for the storing
of surplus stock.
Between the hours OF and 2:30
O'Clock the new ruling provides that
all barrels and boxes must be re-
moved from the aisles. Permission
Is given retail merchants to bring
their stock to and from the stalls
during the hours of $50 and o'clock
and from 2:3O to $50 o'clock.
This new regulation was suggested
by DIR. r. r. Ashworth, chief food
Inspector, District Health Department,
who found that during the purchas-
ing hours many of the passageways
and aisles were blocked to trade by
the stall owners carrying produce to
and from the building.
The new ruling will doubtless be
beneficial to both the merchants and
the buyer. providing definite hours
for the storing of fresh supplies by
the merchant and greater ease for
the purchasers in making their way
from stall to STALL" DR.. Ashworth
