NO REST FOR PRoT1rEERs.

Public announcement has been
to round up the profiteers beginning
with the retail dealers in meat. Look
ing back now over the scene three
months ago. when' government Off
Gals were hurrying to and fro and
giving out interviews about the
"hoards" they were discovering and
the profiteers they were summoning to
justice, says bulletin issued by the
National City bank of New York, the
lesson ought to be worth something.
Nothing has come of it, not because
the officials did not do their best, but
because the situation was not as they
thought. The real trouble with the
markets is that there are net enough
goods to supply everybody who wants
them.
The futility OF most OF the outcry
against profiteering has been shown.
The dealer who takes advantage of a
scarcity or of the ignorance of his Gus
toners to exact an unusual profit is
not an admirable character in the eyes
of anybody, but in times of real scare
ity prices are bound TO go up, for there
is an economic necessity in It, and
somebody is sure to make money out
of the rise. The only remedy for high
prices and abnormal profits is in
creased production-greater supplies
on the market. The evil will work its
own cure II let alone, and all efforts
to mitigate its effects are likely to in
terfere with the natural restoration of
normal conditions.
Notwithstanding the successful de-
, mands of cotton-mill employees for
more pay and shorter hours, the bull
letin points out, the cotton-mill com
panies probably are making more
money than ever before. because the
supply Of cotton goods is short and
buyers are competing for the product
1t is not a case of extortion or arbi-
trary price-fixing. The public market
is making the price; it is beyond any
producers control.
| II Is idle and unintelligent TO con.
denim a farmer or an individual pro-
Queer in any line for taking the going
price for his product in an open free
market. If he sold his goods below the
market he would not affect the mar
ket. and If he sold to a dealer hi:
concessions probably would not reach
single consumer. The trouble i,
that there are not goods enough to &C
around. the remedy is more goods, and
unusual profits are the most certain
influence for the production of more
goods.
