Problem of Wealth Distributor

before the American Economic Association
OF which he is president Speaking of tho
tremendous changes produced bv the war
anu the reorganization which is now going
on IN social and industrial life. he said
we may be sure that there will bn q
oi'ter struggle over the distribution of wealth
until more or less definite read iustn,ent b..
been found. Professor King. of tho 1rni-
VerSlty or Wisconsin, has shown that some
thing like two-thirds of our people have M
capital except the clothes on their hacks and
llttle Furniture and personal belongings
Wiilc the major part of our capital is owned
DF less than per cent OF our population
sui more distressing is the fact thai since
me twentieth century began wages rcckoned
IN commodities, not money, have been stead
NY decreasing, while profits have been in
crcasihg The purchasing power OF wages
over 1000 in 1917 was only a little over two
thirds OF what it was ten years before Tho
extraordinarily high wages of 1918 amonp
certain forms of skilled labor are. OF conrso
not representative.
These facts arc such as to give rs nausa
ana make us wonder what the end will be
: Professor Fisher further declares tina, ,hc
real scientific study of the distribution of
wealth has scarcely begun as yet. He fur-
'her says that in his opinion there are two
maSter-EeyS to this question, and they are
me inheritance system and the profit system
Ills IDEAS along these lines he Celebrates in
Il manner which shows that in his university

War material manufacturers are backed
by justice and public sentiment in their de-
mand that Congress enact legislation vail
dating their COY ernmont contracts. In the
haste and confusion of preparing for war
many contracts were executed verbally and
without the usual accompaniment OF miles
and miles OF red tape The manufacturers
estood on no formalities but rushed to the
filling of the orders on which the army and
navy depended. Now the war is over and
the red tape again is in evidence Many Of
the manufacturers are threatened with nnan-
cial ruin If the government does no, pay
3 them promptly for the work that was patriot
Ecally and honestly done That would be too
