NO PRICE DROP IN TEN YEARS

The Harvard committee on eco
nomlc research headed by Prof
Charles G. Bullock, after exhaustive
research, announces that in its opinion
there will be no lowering of prices for
tho next ten Years. The chairman in
his report says.
Business is affected by price move
ments, more than by any other single
factor. Tho probable movement of
commodity prices during the next ten
years is. therefore, OF especial impor-
tance at time when the revival Of
business activity IS clearly disclosed.
The plausible Inference that prices
must return to a pre-war normal has
frequently been drawn from the fact
that prices have reverted to their for
mer levels after previous periods Of
currency initiation in the early and
middle nineteenth century. The Har-
ward committee, however. cannot ac-
cept this conclusion. 1t cannot find
that the governing conditions exist to-
day which brought about lower price
levels in the past
IL we are prepared to accept, as
apparently we must the present
price level as substantially that
around which the fluctuations Of the
business cycle must play during the
coming decade we can contribute
powerfully to financial stability
throughout the world. And finally, if
we adhere consistently to this view.
we can make it clear that little in
dulgence can be expected by debtors
who adopt policies calculated to in
crease inordinatey the burden of debt
inherited from the great war"

AS 10 rIPPN LOVE

The press has rcgaled us each day
for the past week with details of the
puppy love episode at Kansas City
where three Young couples from Hi
nois. the oldest OF the six not yet IS
and the Youngest but -. were arrested
and finally sent back to their parents.
To these young people puppy love was
no toko, and for that matter it has
none Of the weakness the phrase i'm
plies II is strong enough TO kill as
j; has done often. 1t is not contempt
iblo. for it is neither weak nor ignoblc.
on the contrary, it is romantic, and it
takes more complete possession of the
individual than a much deeper and
more enduring emotion is likely to do
later. 1t is dangerous TO all concern
ed. ror its strength is violence, and
has no checks in experience or the
solr-control which develops in adult
life. 1t is a very serious phase of
adolescence, and we think parent
who suddenly discovers case of it in
his family and proposes to handle it
with a hair brush is even more likely
to bring about serious consequences
than the parent who let's the malady
take its own course.
Nevertheless. there has been in the
American family a relaxation or dis
appearance of reasonable discipline
ana a habit Of laisse2 faire which, in
our opinion, are an invitation to such
misfortune as has happened in the
Kansas Cit. case. In earlier periods
of American family lie discipline has
been too severe. But they are long
past and do not justify the opposite
extreme. The tendency to abdicate
parental control is 4 form Of selfish
unes. shirkiug of responsibility for
the sake Of making life easy. 1t be-
longs to an era Of automatic machin-
cry, perhaps. but it means tho dcgeu-
alton Of our social fabric if it con-
