Tn most serious part of the situa-

innate price that the consumer must
pay. The farmer has gone back to nor

Of production, far below normal. on
the other hand, his problem is made
doubly hard because the price of many
of the things he has to buy holds
stubbornly to war time levels This,
also. makes it hard for wages to come
down, because the wageworker has to
live and he cannot live on lowered
wages unless it is also accompanied
by lower price levels for the necessities
of life. These are coming down, but
not coming down as fast as thy should
