HOW WILL THEY DO 1T?

The platforms of both political
parties hold out hopes of a re-
duction in the cost of living.
But how is it to be accomplish
ed?
1t has long since ceased to be
simply matter of profiteers get
ting together and boosting the
prices.
Labor in all lines is high, and
everything that goes into the pro-
duction of an article for use OF
consumption is also high.
Profits in many cases could be
shaved, of course, but prices can
never go back to normal as long as
wages and salaries remain as they
are.
Can you imagine any man vol
unfairly accepting a reduction in
pay for his services?
We can not.
And can you see how commodities
are to be materially reduced in
cost until there is first a reduction
in wages and salaries?
We can not.
Perhaps you possess a keen analy-
teal mind and can see a way out
of the whole fnuddle.
But we can not.

LODGE, HITCHCOCK
 ENDEAv0R 10 KEEP PACT FROM POLITICS
Says Republicans and Demo crats Would End the
 Deadlock
SCORES BREAK ACTION
 FRONE SENATE LEADERS
Societies Working for Early Ratifi. cation Given Hearings-Dem- ocrat Says Antagonism Has
 Begun to Die

Washington, Jan. l3.-Assurances that democratic and republican sen ators were united in endeavoring to end the senate treaty deadlock and to avoid carrying the treaty issues into the coming political campaign were given by Senator Lodge of Mas sachusetts and Hitchcock of Nebras- ka, republican and acting demo- cratic leaders, respectively, today to spokesmen of organizations claiming to represent 2o,O0O,0o0 people desir- ous of early ratification of the treaty.
 The two leaders were visited sep arately at the capitol by more than a score of representatives of various organizations, including societies working for ratifica tion of the peace treaty, labor unions, churches and other religious societies and agri- cultural and educational bodies. The calls on the senate leaders followed meeting to urge immediate ratifi- cation of the treaty with reserva- tlons necessary to secure the two- thirds vote.
 Senator Lodge told the delegation that he would be "glad" to consider any modifications of the treaty res ervations which the democratic mi nority might present and that there was being evidenced "a general de- sire" to dispose of the treaty promptly so as to avert it's injec- tion into the elections. Republicans and democrats in the senate, he said, are attempting "to reach com mon ground" with that end in view
 Calling at the office Senator Hitchcock, the delegation was told by the acting democratic leader and by Senator Smith, democrat, of Ge- orgia of the efforts being made on the democratic side of the cham Der to bring about prompt ratifi- cation. The spirit of antagonism, which dominated the treaty debates at the last session of congress, Sena- tor Hitchcock said, had given way to spirit "of an honorable com promise" which gave prospect of ratification of the treaty with some reservations before the end of January.
 Those conferences were the tran cendent development today in the treaty situation. Negotiations among senators were virtually confined to the main dispute over the reserva- tion to article x of the league of nations covenant. No definite progress was reported.
