Adolf Joffe, who was selected by the
Bolsheviki to negotiate with the Polish
peace delegates at Riga, has the repu-
tation of being a diplomat of the
"most astute sort He is a leading
Soviet, second only in Importance to
Lenine and Trotzky. He repeatedly
has been selected by Moscow for mis-
kions of the first rank. He was chair
man of the Bolshevist delegation at the
Brest -Litovsk conference with the Ger
mans in 1917 until he was replaced by
Trotzky. Later he was sent as Soviet
ambassador to Berlin, where he proved
himself highly astute and dangerous
propaganda. During the war he con-
tributed much to the success of the
propaganda campaign which started
the German workers upon the paths of
extreme radicalism and continued his
activities after the revolution in an eff
fort to establish pure Bolsheyism in
Germany.

THE DECLINE IN PRICES.

The opinions of business men and of
fcials on the present reduction in prices
are interesting because they may know
more than the ordinary person about
the cause and the extent they will fall.
Secretary Houston and other officials
and economists of Washington do not
look for a sudden plunge of prices that
will upset business. They look for a
gradual recession for long time be
fore stability is reached. They are
confident. however, the peak of high
prices has passed and that prices will
go lower. .'.' 20
1t seems that the large amount of
outstanding government securities have
been used by individuals and corpora
tions for credit in purchasing. The rec
ords of the treasury department show
that during the past year bank credits
We're increased about 100000, 900
over the previous year. This means
that the American people and American
business had that much more credit to
do business with than ever before. 1t
is pointed out that these securities are
being picked up by investors and taken
out of business which means a heavy
curtailment in. credit in the near flu
ture. This in turn will force the early
marketing of commodities and foodstuffs
that have been held in the past for in
creased prices by spectators.
Another feature of considerable influ-
ence on prices is the foreign trade. The
governments foreign trade statement
shows that American exports were $780,
100000 less in the month of August
than in July and the decrease in i'm
ports was only $1S,000,000 But the
imports for August were $212, 1000 900
larger than i'm August, 1919. In Au-
gust the excess of exports over imports
was only S65, 100000, the lowest since
October, 1914. The foreign markets
are not absorbing the American goods
they have for the last five years and
prices abroad are lower there as well as
at home. American manufacturers no
longer find the profitable markets they
have been enjoying and reduction in
prices to a level at which the people
will buy is absolutely necessary.
There is still another feature and
that is the tremendous tide of immigra-
ton that has set in to this country.
Immigrants are reaching the American
coast by thousands every day and it is
reported the steerage accommodations
of Atlantic liners from Europe to Amer
lea have been engaged for year in adj
vance. Storage passengers mean la
borers and this great influx means an
increased labor supply for this country
With all these influences working to
increase supply and limiting the hold
ing of goods for speculative advances
it seems reasonable to expect a general
decline in prices and a bigger dollar
for the consumer.
