portation to Be Provided.

PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE high cost of hv-
ing forms the theme of all conversations
in France at present, as it affects rich and
poor alike and offers the exasperating pc
culiarity of steadily increasing instead OF
decreasing since the armistice. This rise
in prices of the most elementary necessl-
ties is indeed world phenomenon, but
nowhere has it perhaps attained such an
acute phase as in France. Before the ex-
tremely threatening aspect of the problem
and the shameless exactions and audacity
of the profteers in general, the French
government has at last, after many hes
itations and half measures decided to take
energetic means to combat the situation
which is a serious threat to the harmony
of the social life of the country.
An economic commission has been in
stituted which consists of no less than
eight ministers, namely, the ministers of
finance, commerce, colonies, industrial re-
construction, labor, liberated regions, pub
lie works, and food. Mr. Clemenceau and
Mr.. Jeanneney are also present at its de-
| liberations An important decision has al
