Tho present administration Is charged with
responsibility for hish prices and unbridlcd
profiteering throughout the country by Senator
David l. Walsh, democrat OF Massachusetts
The greatest advance Of prices In America"
ne stated in recent speech In the senate, has
been caused by own governments policy
during the war. a policy to which refer not
for the purpose OF criticism, but TO uncover
as far as possible the causca OF abnormal living
conditions under which are now suffering
"A brief review OF the movement toward
higher prices and this trend to the unpre
ceden,ed scandalous continuation OF profitcer-

consequence Of the governments policy OF
throwing open our markets To the enormous
new demands OF the belugerent countries for
munitions and other war material. food sup

"The drainage OF our markets caused sudden
rise in prices which has steadily increased and
started era OF profit making still rampant,
Our government became even a greater customer
than the people themselves and by its per
emptory requirements caused "A still further rise
In prices. | make this survey simply to bring
out the fact that the government itself through
its own choice of possible policies is primarily
responsible for the outrageous increase in the
price OF living and the scandalous profit max
ing All the greater, therefore is the duty OF
the government TO lay bare the causes Of ox-
cessive prices and to restore profit making to
normal proportions
The new orgy of profitecring at the expense
OF both the government and the people has con
tinued unchecked until this hour Conditions
have grown II seems that band Of
robbers nfests the land. As this atrocous
msteraism increases the government, outside
OF few weak and insignificant threats, has
not even attempted solution"
