To Start Price Cutting Campaign.

The committee on emergency mea-
sures by manufacturers is considering
steps to bring about the price-cutting
movement advocated in its recommen-
dations. these to be taken between
now and the next meeting of the con-
ference.
Secretary Hoover, who presided. ex-
planned that the program announced
included only the emergency measures
recommended by the various commit
tees and that all other recommenda-
tions had been returned for incorpora-
ton in a supplementary report which
will cover permanent steps necessary
10 industrial reconstruction along lines
which will go TO avoid serious unem-
/ ployment in the future.
| A long debate took place on the re-
port of the committee of unemploy-
ment statistics, which placed the un-
employed at about 1000 600" Secre-
tary Davis said that he did not agree
with the estimate and that the Bureau
had estimated 5.735 900. Since then
said Mr.. Davis. about 200 900 had beer
absorbed by industries
Another delegate wanted the report
amended to show that some experts
put the number as low as $500, 900
Secretary Hoover suggested that mum.
bers be left out and further report
'e submitted when moro facts could
be obtained.
| In the end it was decided TO make
the indefinite statement that variou,
estimates placed the number at B..
SOC. 900 to $500 ,0e9, the point beine
conceded by practically all factions
that the shifting OF labor and made
quate machinery for collection of tn,
facts made an accurate statement a
this, time impossible.
/ Delegates today were in accord iha
I the important thing to accomplish
was a speeding up OF industry, ant
that the liquidation of stocks through
the price cutting program was th'
surest course 10 bring that about. Ad
Justment of wages was not mention
ed.
Secretary Hoover indicated tha
every effort would be made to hav.
the emergency measures proposed pu
into effect without delay. 1t is TN
belief that a-real impression can b,
made on the unemployment situation
if the program is carried out, especial

secured in ways known to the con gress, which would be vastly less bur densome to the American consumer and American industry.
 Justification for Measure
 "The rates however, have a peculiar interest. In practically every case they equal or exceed those established under the Payne Aldrich act, in which the principle of protection reached its high water mark and the enactment of which was followed by an effective exhibition protest on the part of the majority of the Americal people. I do not believe that the sober judgment of the masses of the people of the na- tion or even the special class whose interests are Immediately affected by this measure, will sanction a return, especially in view of conditions which lend even less Justification for such &C., tion, to a policy of legislation for sell fish interests which will foster mon- opoly and increase the disposition to look upon the government as an in- strument for private gain instead of an instrument for the promotion of the general well being. Such a policy is antagonistic to the fundamental prin- ciple of equal and exact justice to all and can only serve to revive the feeling of irritation on the part of the great masses of the people and of lack oi confidence in the motives of rulers and the results Of government

are the most effective in the world, can have an dread of competition when they view the fact that their country has come through the great struggle of the last few years relatively speak ing untouched while their principal competitors are in varying degrees laboring under adverse conditions rom which they will not recover for many years Changes of a very radical char acter have taken place. The united States has become a great creditor na- ton. She has lent certain governments of Europe more than $9,00O, O,O00,0oo ana as a result of the enormous excess Of our exports there is an additional com mercial indebtedness of foreign nations to our own of perhaps not less than S4,000, 100000 There are only. three ways in which Europe can meet her part of her indebtedness, namely, by the establishment of private credits, by the shipment of gold. or of commodi- ties. It is difficult for Europe to dis cover the requisite securities as a basis for the necessary credits. Europe is not in a position at the present time to send US the amount of gold which would be needed and we could not view further large imports of gold into this country without concern. The result, to say the least, would be a larger dis arrangement of international exchange and disturbance of international trade. If we wish to have Europe settle her debcN governmental or commercial we must be prepared to buy from | 1T, and if we wish to assist Europe al our selves by the export either of foo1 .er raw materials, or finished products, we must be prepared to welcome com modities which we need and which Eu- rope will be prepared, with no little pain, to send us.
 No Time for High Tariff
 Clearly, this is no time for the erec- ton here of high trade barriers. It would strike a blow at the large and successful efforts which have been made by many of our great industries to place themselves on an export basis. It would stand in the way of the normal req djustment of business conditions thro ughout the world which is as vital to the welfare of this country as to that of all the other nations. The United States has duty to itself as well as to the world, and it can dis charge this duty by widening, not by contracting, it's world markets.
 This measure has only slight inter est so far as its prospective revenue yields are concerned. It is estimated that the aggregate addition to the na- tion's income from its operation for Il months would be less than $72, ,000, ,00t and of this more than half would arise from the proposed duty on sugar. Ob- viously this and much more can bt

 The allies were prepared to make allowances for the difficulties under which Germany and the other coun- tries labor as a result of the war. But" Lloyd George continued. "thesH proposals frankly are an offense and an exasperation, and I deplore that they were put forward, as they indicate a desire not to perform, but to evade, the obligations which Germany had incurred.''
 MT Lloyd George compared the British and German taxation, and said that until Germany had imposed at least equal taxation to that in allied countries she was not in a position to plead she was unable to meet the Paris proposals. He charged the German government with defaulting in some most important provisions of the treaty and added that the allies had displayed no harsh insistence upon the letter of their bond

 Belgian Atrocities
 The premier also referred to the de- portation of Belgian workmen, the de- struction of mercantile shipping, the loss of life and the crippling of many young men. The casualties, he said, represented not merely the loss to the countries in strength and capacity for wealth production, but a heavy annual burden on the resources of the coun- tries in pensions.
 France alone, Great Britain alone in this respect, each bears an annual burden almost thrice the amount of the payment now offered by Germany to meet our claim of reparation for damages of all kinds" Mir Lloyd George declared. The loss of German lives and the devastation Of East Prussia were trivial he asserted. as compared with that inflicted on France It was here he said that if Germany
