will be surprised by what their
money will buy. even now, in Paris.

TOURISTSFEAR
COALDISORDER
in England Are
Scurryiing for Passage

By SYDNEY b. CAVE.
Cwashinston HeraId-Cross Atlantic
Service, Special Cable Dispatch.)

London, Sept. lS.-Although pros
poets appear to be brighter that
coal strike may be averted, Amerl-
can tourists are becoming increas-
ingly restive and scurrying to the
offices of the steamship companies
to order passage home Immediately.
Americans are coming in large
numbers to cancel side trips, and are
excitedly asking how they can get
started for home before the strike
scheduled for September 25,' said
william Gourlay, general European
manager of the American Express
Company.
Mr.. Curnan. of the White Star
Line, said: I'VE are receiving a
huge number of inquiries from
Americans on how they can get pas
sage to the various ports in the
event of a coal strike. Many OF
them are asking for change OF
bookings from the ordinary coal
burning steamers to the oil-burning
Olympic, which, of course, is not
possible for the majority of them" "
I'VE have sufficient coal to keep
our schedules for a few weeks after
the strike if it takes place. But II
the ship coalers should strike in
sympathy with the miners, all the
coal in the world wouldn't move
ships"
While it is realized in official ci-
cles here that America has little
coal now to export to Europe, the
fear is continually expressed here
that the strike will play into the
hands of American exporters, who
are reported to be keenly desirous
of taking advantage of any opening
that may offer to capture English
and Continental coal markets on
contracts ranging from one to FIVE
years There is nervousness in dip
lomatic quarters lest the cessation
of British coal exports to the con-
tinent should Complicate matters in
the Ruhr Valley between France
and Germany.

In Fight Against Higd Cost of LiOing

cost of living sustained the morale
of the country.
The present drop in the cost of
living may not be an undisputed
ing about the lowering of the de-
mand after supplies have been pur-
chased, II may throw the economic
balance out of gear.
The object is not reduction or in
crease of prices, but stabilization.
This is the only method which en-
ables the proddcer> 20 calculate the
cost of production and a fair selling
price. 1t is the only means whereby
the consumer can plan his budget.
In France, at present, we hear of
nothing but waves" of this or that
waves of rise in cost, waves of
lowering prices. With economic
conditions as they are today 1t is
sheer folly TO encourage any
wave" They should all be done
away with
Should Stabilize Conditions.
In heavy seas navigators throw
oil on the water to quiet the tor
mented waves, replacing storming
whitecaps by low, rythmatic swells.
1t is the consumers duty to pour
oil on the troubled economic waters.
When prices start soaring he
should imme iiately cease buying so
as to reduce the demand for the
articles in question and not exhaust
the supply. When prices drop. on
the contrary he should buy. so as to
stimulate the demand and prevent
the market from collapsinG.
In other words, instead of follow
ing madly :he ,ndencies OF the
market, the consumer should reGu-
late it, thereby stabilizing prices
and bringing about that economic
adjustment which spells prosperity.

Paris, Sept. 1S.-The high cost of
living is not locally as unpopular as
people would shave US believe. Low
prices would not be as welcome as
might be imagined. AS a matter of
fact, high or low prices are not the
most important factor in the eco
nomic life of the individual. since
both producers and consumers end
by adjusting themselves to the one
or the other.
What Is important is the stabili-
cation of prices.
II some sort of a plebiscite could
be held to get the nations real
opinion on the II. c. L.. l believe 1t
would get more votes than the low.
This may seem paradoxical, grant
ed that there are more consumers
than producers.
But it must be remembered that
every consumer who, at the same
time, is either a producer or a seller
(and this includes the majority of
all consumers) thinks only of his
selling interests and looks upon his
purchasing price as a negligible
quantity"

makers are complaining that the
American buyers here for the
autumn exhibitions of the new
gown models are buying practically
nothing.
In other years most Of the buyers
would purchase from fifteen to
twenty models from each Paris
house. This year they are buying
one or two and in some cases none
at all.
The buyers declare the French
dresses are priced too high. The
simplest gown offered them here
they say. would cost at least $500
by the time the customs duty was
paid in New York.
1t would have to be sold at $500

declare, will not pay $500 for a
