back at woik reduction of the cost of living is an absolute certainty.
 When the war began in 1914 if took from production to destruction 25,000,000 men. It took five men or women to support each person in this fighting force. This made the enormous total of 125,OOO,O0O men withdrawn from their normal pur- suits. Factories were changed to produce things of destruction. This went or for the war period. But with the armistice the world slowly began to get back to normal work. We in America now are about back to normal work.
 ".Production soon will reach the maximum and the result will be that prices will go back to normal and all of the people will benefit. Be- cause of my belief in this fact am opposed to price-fixing by congress in peace times. The law of supply and demand cas be depended on to take charge of this"
 MT. Baruch told the committee that the war industries board su- pervised contracts amounting to ESQ., 000,000,000 for the United States and the allies. He added that the board did not find q stacker in single American industry.

CONFLICTING VIEWS
 ON THE PROSPECTS
 .FOR DROP IN PRICES
GrOcers Says They'll Stay Up; Baruch Says
 No

New York, March 16.-Present high prices of food are not expected to drop for another two weeks, said Edward Cumpson in his opening ad- dress as president. at the annual convention of the New York Whole sale Groccrs' association.
 Supply and demand shorter hours of labor, and public demand for highest quality regardless of cost, MT. Cumpson said, were contributing causes in sustaining high prices. The wholesale grocers, he believed, had port of the government and the peo- pie. Legislation such as the Lever or any other law he decried.
 Secretary IT. M. Foster, in his an- nual report, agreed with his chief a decline in prices. Later he read a which said that one of the greatest lessons in the last two years was that governmental management and control of private business was a failure. The telegram was applaud
  mously to ask Senator Wadsworth's S permission to give it "wide publicity through advertisement in the daily press"
 Several speakers criticised the government sale and distribution of surplus food. Tr,s giving an outline of the governments method in dis posing of army food stocks, Walter B. Timms, chairman of the Surplus Property committee of the National Wholesale Grocers' association, said that the war department declined an offer made last year by the wholesale grocers to dispose of the surplus food at 1-2 per cent com mission, on the ground that the gov ernrneht had no right to be party to private sale.
 No Restrictions on Prices.
 Later large part of this stock was sold to the highest bidder, MT Timms said, and no Restrictions were made as to the price of the purchaser might fix when he ip turn sold the goods. He said he believed the wholesalers could have handled the matter and relieved the country of the worry" The army officers, he admitted, had hard and unusual duty to perform and had done it we'll.
 Wholesalers, however, were dis posed to look upon the result of the government sales as "not1 without unmixed blessingssi in disguise" MT Timms said. He cited as an exam pie the recent increase in the con- sumption of canned goods, which he held was due to the sales of army stocks widely advertised among peo- pie who formerly had looked askance, The fact that the government had placed it's approval on this form of food, he said, had filled consumers with confidence with the result that now they are buying and eating more canned goods.
