High Cost Doomed
AS Nation Puts
Shoulder To
Task.
People Cease Buying, Thus Send.
ing Supply and Demand to
Rescue.
(By Wiltiam Justus Boies.)

Copyrignt, by sun and N. 7. Heral
New York, Sept. 20. Tn
whole nation has set itself to tn
task of reducing living costs, an
forcing conditions which will in
crease the productiveness of Ia
Dor. This represents the speed
ing up of the defiation process
begun last spring, and mean
that the country is determine,
to rid itself of the high price evil
and to force public and priyat,
economies so that the family dol
lar will stretch further, and re
gain something of It's old-timt
buying power. This in the las
analysis is the meaning of the
price cuts announced lass week,
and will be effective in relieving
the intense strain upon the ma.
tons credit structure, which
had been the governing factor in
trade and finance ever since our
bankers undertook to finance the
restoration of Europe's crippled
industries.
This has been the silent tn Rough
overshadowing issue in this pres
idential campaign, for the peo-
pie have been irritated beyond
expression by increasing living
costs twenty-five months after
the war ended, and the world re-
go together. as Mr.. Kahn told the
Dayton Chamber of Commerce
last week, saying no remedy
for the high cost of living or the
other abnormal conditions which
are weighing upon the country,
can be effective which do not in
clude a wise and courageous re-
vision our existing taxation sys-
TEN" According to Professor
Gottlieb's computations the ratio
of treasury receipts to total dis
bursements, exclusive of foreign
loans. during the last fiscal year
was 90.3 per cent in Great Brit
ain. With the people paying
SIS, 600, 600 a day to support the
government, and making i'm
mense OUTLAWS for state and mu-
nicipal expenses, the family in
come has been strained almost
to the breaking point with rel
atively little to show for it. This
is not question of politics, but
plain economies. for the protec-
ton of the family income is a
life and death struggle for 80
per cent of the population.
Such readjustment is bound to
be attended with some mishaps.
but this is no more than bankers
have anticipated and largely pro-
vided for. Manufacturers and
producers need not expect that
the people will be willing to pay
war prices in peace times indefi-
nitely. Their effective weapon
always at hand is to stop buying
and that is what is done to a
large extent. The result has
been such a sharp falling off in
the retail demands as to make it
impossible for manufacturers to
get rid of their stocks or to con-
tinue production except on a re-
duced working schedule. In or
der to stimulate consumption,
therefore, it has been necessary
to give the country a new trad
ing basis, and to find such prices
as would tempt public buying on
a large scale. The buyer is now
in control of the market and will
exercise a dominating influence
until surplus stocks have been
disposed of and prices have been
stabilized on a basis which gives

purchasing power. This will re
lieye the credit strain, reduce tn,
country's loan account and great
ly lower the cost of living anl
doing business. 1t will make al.
so for genuinely easier money
conditions, and eventually en-.
large the supply of funds avail.
able for essential loans.
1t may take some time for
these price concessions to reach
the ultimate consumer, who is
the individual most interested in
getting more out of the family
income. Not all industries will
be affected alike. for price con-
ditions differ, some branches still
showing a surplus of orders,
while others are booking little
new business. But high priced
inventories will now be liquidat-
ed in an orderly manner without
precipitate action. for the situa-
ton is perfectly understood by
the group of powerful bankers
in the central reserve cities
whose judgment, sound sense
and patriotism have been the
saving strength this year of UNI
paraileled credit strain.
The situation has called for
first aid service of a high order
with heroic measures in a few
instances, where the disciples of
high prices could see nothing but
blue sky and sunshine ahead.

There. was also a pronounced
broadening of the demand for

With better absorption of Liber-

stronger tone to issues which had
oeen long neglected.
The result was that the bond
market showed new signs of life,
with the best and the broadcast

many weeks. At the time when

therefore, and money

will broaden, and their price will
