cviden, reason that the farmer cam
not buy as many clothes at the
present prices as when his own
compensation was on par with
the compensation OF these people
with whom he is trading services.
A similar problem faces the wage
earncrs in all the industries. The
wagc-workcrs in agriculture have
the situation before their eyes, and
have yielded to il promptly. The
wages OF farm hands have dropped
approximately one-half. Farm hands
were close enough to the situation
TO see that il was that or nothing.
The factory workers. railroad en-
ploycs and town workers generally
are many OF them working for the
farmers and will have TO face the
same situation. Unemployment ex-
lists on a large scale because goods
cannot be sold. and they cannot be
sold because the industrial situation
is out OF balance. Recovery will
come as the balance is restored and
cannot come otherwise.
II is greatly to the credit of the
wagc-carncrs as class that the
process OF readjustment has pro-
cceded with as little friction as has
been the case thus far. Generally
there has been willingness TO make
concessions. II is not advisable that
the movement should be unduly
pressed. 1t is better to take more
time, although delay means that the
losses are greater, for the wage
earncrs are entitled to know why
lower wages are necessary. They
are interested in having the neces-
sary readjustments made in order
that industry may be on basis that
will afford steady and full en-
ployment.
Wage reductions will have to go
much further in the manufacturing

Current Business Conditions
rEy BY GEORGE Z. ROBERTS
New York for Augus)
- BsERvRRs Of business are

BSERvERS Of business arc
almost unanimous in their as
" surances that there Is better
feeling about business.
s.Jusl exactly what this recurring
phfsss omcsns 10 dipieull TO state
II nigln, be dcsefiptue OF any OF a
dozen psychological changes that
could enter into the situation. II
Il means that people generally have
begun TO realize the causes that
have thrown industry out oi bal
ance. and TO appreSalr the ihings
that must be corrected before con-
diiions come into equilibrium again,
then We should say that the re-
ported better feeling constituted
an important advance toward nor
maley. II. however. the 'hetter
feeling" means simply that people
are merely smiling and waiting
more patiently, rather than setting
themselves seriously 10 the task OF
wage and price reductions and other
rcadjusimcnts that are necessary.
then We fear that !, signifies but
little.
There is fresh evidence constantly
that the Establishments are taking
place. They are slow, but il takes
time for a knowledge OF conditions
10 reach all classes and divisions OF
the population. and for them 10
make up their minds to give the
cooperation that is necessary TO
bring industry back into balance.
Meanwhile. Il will aid in the cu.tiva-
ton Of paiicfEc TO realize that con-
diiions are by no means 80 bad as
they might be. and that considering
al the circumstances the volume OF
business is really surprisingly large.
The fundamental difficulty upon
which a revival OF business waits is
still the incqeality Of values as be-
tween the various classes OF goods
and services. The normal basis OF
trade between people in different
industries has been disturbed. and
II is only by tho pressure OF painful
experience that the old relations are
restored.
The producers OF cotton. corn and
oats. wool. hides. sugar and food
stuffs generally are getting no more
for their labor i5lan before the war.
Among the principal items OF cx-
pcnsc to them is clothing. They
produce the raw material for il, but

garmcnt-workers and all middle
men by supplying food and raw
materials TO everybody.
All OF the people who have part
in the conversion OF wool. cotton
and hides for the farmers use are
still getting 100 per cent or better
above pre-war wages. but naturally
they are not all at work. for the

expense OF profits and dividends.
but they have reached point where
further price reductions arc depend

reductions. however, will not mean
a loss OF purchasing power to wage

in prices. and the cost OF living.
generally speaking. viii decline
accordingly.
On the other hand il further re-
duotions are not made in the in
dustries indicated. living costs are
likely to rise. Already the farmers
arc organizing for the purpose of
curtailing the production OF agri-
cultural products. The rotton crop
this year will be rs Per cent below
the average amount required under
normal conditions to meet the de-
mand. Plans are being developed
to curtail the production OF food
stuffs. These policies are justified
by the combinations OF wage-earncrs
and others TO maintain wages and
the prices OF town-made products at
an unfair level above farm products.
The whole system OF restriction is
wrong and in the end defeats the
purpose in view OF bcttering living
conditions for those who practice it.
When everybody practices It the
result is poorer living conditions for
all. The best results will be OBJ

desperate and hopeless suffering than

just been elected chairman Of the
board Of trustees of Near East Relief,

there Is famine that tears at our
