Suspicious of the Oil Price.

There is suspicion that the oil in
terests are manipulating the foreign
trade situation to influence domestic
prices. And there's a reason. Why
should the petroleum price and the
prices of the various refinery products
be higher now than at time when the
wells of the United States were sup
plying the allied nations with the bulk
of their oil and gasoline for war pur-
poses? Authoritative statistics show
that in the past year the American
production of petroleum has increased
10 per cent, but in that period the
price has advanced steadily notwith-
standing. The question is whether this
is natural or justified advance or
whether it is manipulated advance.
Congress has ordered the federal
trade commission to investigate and
report. But consumers will extract
little comfort from that fact. There is
precious little general confidence in the
trade commission floating about. That
organization proceeds on the theory
that when it investigates it also must
accuse; hence it has acquired repY-
tation for bias and it's verdicts are re-
garded as prejudices rather than clear.

LEGATIONS. People may not believe
what it reports, but have nothing else
to turn to. In such a situation there
is little hope for relief from excessive
oil and gasoline prices if the prices
are excessive.

That a whole regiment of democratic
press agents is at work disseminating
administration propaganda is clearly
apparent. The burden of the fabri-
Gators song is that the congress sis
doing nothing" This on its face,
is a falsehood so conspicuous that the
most casual observer cannot fail to
detect it, for it is a well-known fact
that congress is slashing down the
frightful extravaganza of the admin
istration and doing it against the op-
position of powerful democratic forces
in both house and senate as'well as in
officialdom.

Democrats blame Mr.. Hoover fol
not declaring himself presidential
candidate of their party. But he is
not responsible, poor fellow, as he was
compelled to sit on the fence until his
lord and master pushed him off. Re-
publicans do not mind having him on
their side of the fence, however, as it
is a pretty safe bet that he will be
among the candidates who bring up
the rear. 1t cannot be denied that
Hoover is capable, but capability does
not count when a man permits his
political course to be dictated by a
boss for Interior purposes.

It's estimated that this country has
a shortage Of five million laboring men.
Since the signing Of the armistice, five
times as many immigrant laborers
have left this country as have come to
it. This shortage is felt most keenly
by the large construction companies,
the railroads, the farms and the fac
tories where great numbers of I'M
skilled laborers are employed. With a
shortage Of men, and short hours for
those working, one can hardly look for
