he cannot reconcile himself to the

asked. The Versailles treaty was liz

touching on relief for agriculture and
business and tax revision were more or

BERLIN, Feb. 27.-Helgoland, two
years ago Germany's most imprcgnable
barrier against Allied sea power, Is to-

the island itself, surmounted by tons

Work has been in progress for more

H. E. Figg, Palmer Assist
ant, Plans Campaign n
to Reduce Prices in
City Is to SO Per Gent

Howard L. Figg, Assistant Attorney
General, came to New York yesterday
from Washington to consult with the
heads of committees connected with
the food administration about start
ing a campaign to reduce the prices
of food and clothing. Prices were
going down in various parts Of the
country, he said, the trend being more
noticeable in the rural districts than
in the cities. They had fallen from
25 to so per cent in Georgia, he said,
adding that similar reductions could be
obtained in New York.
"Much good in this direction can
come from the cooperation Of labor"
said Mr.. Figg. Labor has received
it maximum increase and now should
be glad to put hand to the wheel and
give d full hours work for full
hours pay"
Careful women shoppers we're doing
much to bring prices down, Mr.. Figg
continued, having curtailed their pur-

that retailers were canceling their or
ders with manufacturers.
"This has thrown immense quanti-
ties Of women's clothing on the hands
of the manufacturers" he said, "and
it is inevitable that prices shall fall
in the near future"
Edith Strauss, director of women's
activities in the Department Of Justice.
was one of those who consulted with
Mr.. Figg. She recommended a plan of
campaign involving the restriction of
purchases to bare necessities, distri-
button of complaint cards on which
the public could report excessive
prices, stabilizing labor conditions and
more efficient housekeeping.
DR.. Jonathan C. Day wrote yesterday
to F. H. La Guardia, president Of the
Board Of Aldermen, that whoever told
him there was $4,O00,000 worth of sur
plus navy food for sale had been
dreaming. Even that amount of food
thrust on the market would not affect
prices, he said. He declared that mer-
chants would not want to stock up with
the navy goods and, if they did, they
would have to sell at higher prices
than were asked at the present COM
