| BERLIN, October Reports COM
| ing from America about reductions in
| the cost of living have done more to
bring down prices in Germany than
all the anti-profiteering and similar
| laws put together. Where there be-
fore was prejudice against foreigners,
and especially Americans. on account
of the low value of marks in the in
ternational market, there is now a
feeling that the Americans are just
as badly off as the Germans.
That Henry Ford has cut the prices
of his automobiles SO that they were
back on the prewar basis created sem
sation quite as impressive as any news
pertaining to peace conditions and
their notifications. One result was
that yesterday the Hotel Proprietors'
Association of Germany voted to re-
scind the rule making it compulsory
to charge foreigners zoo per cent more
than Germans on account of the low
value of German money abroad.
ct is essential that somebody shall
take the first step toward making liv-
ing conditions in Germany fairly nor
NAL again." reads the resolution. THE
hotels, which come in contact with so
many foreigners, who carry home
with them tales of their experiences
in the county. must see to it that
these people stre treated fairly and not
in a way that will create more i'll
feeling against Germany than already
exists. While most people think that
America is so much better off than
we are, reports show that she. too. is
hard hit by the high cost of living
Therefore We must do away with the
extra charges in the hotel bills of
American and other foreigners"

signed his office today and dispatched
seconds to demand satisfaction from
Senator Benito ViIlanueva, following
a statement made in the senate yes

ing that the foreign minister had "ap-
proved falsehood over his sigma

The affair resulted from the senate's
request of a few days ago for the
presence of the foreign minister for
the purpose of explaining Argentina's
international relations with neigh
boring countries" Foreign Minister
Pueyrredon, according to Senator Viii
lanueva, promised to confer with the
senators. At the same time the SEN
ator charged that Senior Pueyrredon
demanded that the conference be held
outside the senate chamber since he
did not wish to give his explanation
in the presence of the socialist senator
Delvalle Iberlncea. Senior Pueyrredon
today denied Senator Villanueva' S
charges, which were made during dis

the Senate's request signed by Presi-

about $3.50, 000,0O0) for new houses
The London county council purposes
to provide $4,000 dwellings, to accom-

structures will be erected in Londor
and some just outside. 1t is expected
that 5000 houses will be completed OF
nearly so within six months, and that
the whole number will be ready for
occupancy within five years.
But for the shortage of labor, the
work would proceed much more rap
Idly There are 100000 eX-service
men out of employment and anxious
to enter the building trades. but thus

unions have debarred them Union
men fear that an influx of ~unskilled
laborerS into their trade would cause
a fall in the standard of wages. 1T is
argued. on the other hand, that the
number of men now in the building
trades is wholly inadequate for the
work required, and that the building
programs for the country would abb
Sorb all the available labor at good
wages for years to come.
