HIGH PRICES AND SAVINGS

A REASON for high prices to which
"A little attention has been given is sug
gcstcd in tho sixth annual report of the
Federal Reserve Board just submitted 10
Congress.
1t is that the people who bought Lib
erty Bonds have not yet been able to pay
for them out of their savings and that the
loans made by the banks to the purchas-
ers have expanded credit. There can be
no material contraction of credit until
the bonds have been paid for out Of the
savings of the people.
The report deals with moro topics than
the inability Of the country to digest the
war loans. But aside from the purely
routine matters this and related subjects
receive most attention
We are reminded that the Federal Re-
serve system has stood onc-half of the
test Of its ability to do that for which it
was created. The country had suffered
from rigid currency system which
could not expand and contract in response
to the needs of trade. The now system
was intended to provide for an elastic
currency System--that is, one that would
contract as well as expand.
Under the pressure of war demands
the system has been able to expand and
provide currency to meet the needs of
the country. Incidentally, the needs of
business were further served by an eX-
pansion Of credit. The expansion of cur
rcncy and Of credit is really at the bot
tom of high prices.
Now il is to be discovered whether de-
fiation Of currency and credit can be
brought about under the new system
without disaster. The report warns
against an attempt at rapid or drastic de-
unscttemcnt of mind and produce an un-
fortunate effect upon productive industry
So long as the war bonds are held by the
banks as security for loans made 10 those
not yet able to pay for them out Of their
savings there can be no radical calling in
Of such loans. The processes Of defla-
tion will go along with the speeding up of
the processes of production, with the or
dcrIy distribution of goods, with the
avoidance of wasteful consumption and
with the increased accumulation of saw
ings.
It is evident from the report that the
members of the Federal Reserve Board
are convinced that as production and
savings are increased there can he
brought about a contraction both in
credit and in currency which in time will
put an end to the war initiation that has
been reflected in high prices. If events
uroVc that their opinion is we'll founded
then the Federal Reserve system will
have given to US the elastic currency for
which we have been hoping.

WHY THE DEMOCRATS WEAKEN

INDICATIONS that the movement
among tho Senate Democrats for a
party caucus IS directed toward con
sideration Of practical compromise on
the treaty is a cheering index Of an ap,
preciation Of realities. The nation las
had more than its fill Of treaty arg7l-
ment. Furthcr discussion in Congress is
extremely unlikely to alter in any way
che present complexion of public senti.
ment, which is now crystallized into a
demand for ratification with reasonable
reservations.
The Democrats are thus placed in a po-
Sftion where surrender would be their
best political card. Any party which,
deservedly or not, appears to be sadded
with the responsibility of taking the pact
before the country aS presidential cam
paign issue will be embarrassed in prov

WaVef and change their minds they may
not always be blamed. Only the people
can help them--the people who look on
from afar and hear only vaguely Of lob
bies and have only deficient notion Of
what is going on.
And yet the big lobbies with all their
tremendous show of strength and ruth
lcssncss. rely chiefly on Chinese method
Of warfare, which. is one of hourishes and
noise. Any man who starts a sys-
tcmatic and determined war upon them
may lose his office. But another office
and greater one will surely go seeking
him.
To crush any big lobby you have only
to drag it out into the light of day. The
vast majority of the people, who arc or
ganiGcd only as citizens Of the United
States and who go along in the assump-
ton that their affairs are safe in the
hands of the congressman they elect
the only union leaders they know-have
only to be Informed fully of the present
general tendencies in Washington. They
would quickly put up the shutters on
some of the most luxurious and, elaborate,

once exposed fully to public scrutiny.

urable usefulness by bcckoning the whole
array of invisible governmental officers

The Senate was established by the

knowledge of the life and needs of all
communities in this country.
The right of formal petition is granted
in order that no interest or class, no mat
ter how remote or obscure, may be neg
lectcd. Such is our theory of govern
mcnt. The very existence of vast and
bcIligcrent lobbies in Washington shows
how appallingly that principle has been
perverted and how generally we have
como to accept unwrittcn laws in the
conduct of national affairs.
