Leading Economist
 Says Prices Will Not Resume Former Level
(Continued From Page One. )


 ''There can be no doubt that prices are now advancing he said. ''M lore over, when fundamental industrial conditions are examined, it is perfect ly clear that such advances are in evitable The price of an article is the com bined result of actual produc- ton costs-in which labor is the chief item-and the profits of the producer, wholesaler and retailer and others through which it passes, before reach ing the consumer.
 During the war, these profits were excessive and profitee ering ran ram pant. Some improvements in this particular have taken place and much But the cold. hard fact is that no important scaling down of profits is to be anticipated in the near future" ;"
 According to Lauck, who is con suHing economist to the railroad unions and the United Mine Workers of America, neither can any impor- tant reduction in the general wage level be anticipated.
 Contrary to popular belief, wages on the whole have fallen to a sur prising1y small extent, he declared. ..
 Here and there wages have fallen. he said. ''But the striking fact IS not that some wage rates have fallen but that wages on the whole have fallen so little. This is partly due to the growing strength of labor tc resist wage cuts but primarily to g more alert public conscience wh1cf feels that the average wage earnel for his own sake, and for the sake of the community, must have a high: CT standard of living than he has hao in the past"
