many long-winded documents which
food controllers. mayors and other
public functionaries have perpetrated
in the past three or four years. The
condemning of the profiteer, moved
by greed for profit which is out of
all proportion to the real value of the
goods he SELLS" and the imperial wish
that his fixed prices should be re-
spected throughout the empire" have
a familiar ring which makes glad the
hearts of historians who want to
make history popular.
But relief, comfort and Joy do. stop
there. For 1t is enough to read a lit
tie further to discover that the good
emperor's laws and curses against
newly rich and prof1teers were as use
less 16 centuries ago as they are to-
day. And, in despair, the good old
Roman tyrant implores his honest
and patriotic subjects" to resort to
the one and only remedy, boycott of
high-priced goods.
With this rulers history fresh In
their minds, the modern citizens of an

that the following goods are to go up:
Aluminium goods. 500 per cent !;
nickel, copper goods and utensils, 500

such as knives, forks and spoons, 500
per cent; iron goods of all kinds, 600

on present prices, which are from 300
to 1000 per cent above pre-war prices.
