THE POT ASSAILS THE KETTLE

Frederick H. Gillett, Speaker of the
House of Representatives made a
speech at the annual dinner of the
New England Society of New York
Wednesday night in which he indict-
ed the labor unions for sitting pro-
duction when the crying need of the
whole world is production
What Mr.. Gillett said about the ten
denotes of organized labor is in the
main true, but why did he stop with
the unions? Why not be honest and
tell the whole truth? Even a member
Of Congress might venture to go that
far on occasion, if only by way of ex-
pertinent.

A LOOK BEYOND PRICES

A LOOK BEYOND PRICES
3 The fact that-cfops as valued in the
Department Of Agricultures final es-
Inmates attained value five billions
lower this year than that for 1919
calls upon us for view that reaches
beyond the cash values. If one accept
the money measure of value as abso-
Lutte or final, the figures indicate an
economic reverse. Such view is need
lessly unfavorable and obviously out
OF harmony with known facts.
The years harvest, all in all, de-
spite the decrease in wheat, amount
ed to more bushels than the harvest
of the preceding. 1t will feed and
clothe as many or more people.
Figured at the same prices, it would
have at least an equal value. It's sole
shortcoming lies in the fact that it
sells for less.
So do the country's manufactured
products as whole sell now for less
than formerly. A years production

goods that it cares to command. No
Lack of farm products, no lack of fac
tory products fall of ten billion in
dollar marks, which no one can eat or
wear; such is the change in the ma
tons wealth. Nothing in this situa-
ton can really impoverish the coun-
try.
Capital invested in business and in
farming does indeed suffer loss. Cap

faces the extinction of more or less
numerous dolIar-marks representing
deprecated national output, and of
much greater sum in investments,
based upon their profiteering power,
But capital, fulfills the, function. Of,
underwriting the dollars ups and
downs.
That forms one of the chief purposes
of it's existence When dollar values
went up over hundred per cent,
some people felt indignant that pri-
Yate borrowers of capital, such as
farmers and business men, should
reap the profit. Such people may now
we'll change their opinion, and be
content that borrowers, perhaps in
some extreme cases, lenders, too, and
not the public, face the loss.
Wholesale prices move faster than
retail even as they did on the upturn.
Goods of some sort decline less prompt
ly than others. But with a little time
for re-assortment, prices, wages, sup
ply and demand will of themselves find
the line of least resistance to some
where near the level of the era before
the war. A few industries have been

The entertainments put on by
these people are not only intensely
pleasing and fascinating but they
are instructive and from the lee
lures you will gather thoughts
that you will hold firmly and
cherish the rest of your lives,
To the 10 O'Clock children's and
mothers hour should assemble all
the children and mothers of the
country side to hear the talks so
valuable to parents and to see
their children enjoy real whole
some play, guided by specialists,
In short, the Chautauqua offers
rare, intellectual feast and !
