The supreme council Is expected to
convene very soon, especially to take
up the Slesian problem, and Ameri-

with it. But, as was said above, he
will take no part In the discussions
concerning that question, nor will he
even express an opinion on IT, This
was made clear by Secretary Of State
Hughes in his reply 70 an appeal from
Poland for American support Mr..
Hughes explained to Prince Lubom-
risky, Polish minister that this is in
accord with the traditional policy Of
the United States" not to become in
volved in matters Of purely European
concern. The Polish note accuses. the
allies, except France, Of dealing with
the whole question mot by principles
Of Justice but by the material inter-
ests Of those powers and it con-
cludes: This is not a purely Euro
pean matter. On the just solution Of
the matter Of Upper Silesia depends
the pacidcation of this province and
the stimulation Of its productivity,
which has a great Importance in the
re-establlshment Of the economic sta
bility of the whole world"
SO the Sleslan question has created
a most serious situation, and Germany
is sitting back hopeful of a real breach
In the unity Of the allies. But prob

anger of the chief actors will subside,
and some peaceful way out Of the

RENT SHOWS BIG Increase
Cost of Shelter, Fuel and Light High
err Than LIST Year, While Food
and Clothing Costs Show
Sharp Decline,

New York, May PA report made
public here by the national industrial
conference board shows that the total
cost of living has fallen 175 per cent
since July, 1920, but in March, 1921,
was 6S.7 per cent higher than in July
1914 Costs Of food and clothing are
shown to have decreased, and rent and
cost of fuel and light to have in
creased since last year.
This analysis of changes In the cost
Of living in the United States is based
upon material gathered from a large
number of representative retail deal
ers, from persons representing inter-
ests in many sections Of the country
in connection with rents and car fares.
The total increase in the cost Of
living since the beginning Of the war,
the investigation shows, was GS,7 per
cent in March. The rise in the cost
Of the major items of the budget Of
wage learners between July, 1914, and
March, 1921, is estimated to have
been as follows:
FOOD ...............,.. per cent
Shelter ......,..........1l per cent
Clothing ................74 per cent
Fuel and light. per cent
Sundries .................S5 per cent
The report shows that the peak was
reached in July, 1920. Since then the
total cost of living has decreased 17.5
per cent.
Food has decreased 20 per cent,
clothing, 80 per cent, while shelter has
increased s per cent and fuel and
light 10 per cent, no change having
taken place in the cost Of sundries.
Since the beginning of November
last the total cost of living has de-
creased 1876 per cent, food showing a
10 per cent decrease, clothing a %
per cent decrease, fuel and light a
Go per cent decrease, and sundres a
A per cent decrease. The only item
which has shown a tendency to in
crease is rent the average having gone
up 8 per cent since November.
