Justice in London

At d o'clock in the morning, in London, young
officer of the Flying Corps walking, suitcase IN

thought they motorized robbers they were plain
clothes detectives and they thought he was thief.
Naturally he struggled to get away ne was captured
abused and -treated. After he released his case
was brought up in the House of Commons and the
Home Secretary was howled down when he said that
he hadn't thought necessary to get the young officers

Sessions has just handed down decision reversing the
conviction of G. K, finding that he not disordery
in his encounter with policemen who he alleged, later
gave him the third degree. So, finally, after year,
losing his Job and self confidence he again is able to

case is significant.
Justice Here

he happened to be place the police watch

innocence arrested him. He said they beat him. That
is not essential at the moment The essential thing is
that for long time one cared what happened-not
only to one but to justice in America.

| Move to Reduce Debts.
| In the United States as in other
countries movements have been on foot
to scale down debts as well as to ad-
vance prices.
Germany. Italy, Australia, New Zea-
| land and other countries have sought
! to reduce price disparities by govern
mental pressure on those prices which
have remained relatively high.
The wholesale price index for the
United States on the basis of 100 for
1925 was slightly below so on March 4
when the depression reached its lowest
depths with the Nation wide closing of
banks. 1t has slowly advanced to about
81. The 1913 index number was TO
The average level for 1881 was 73.
The price index of England on a
basis Of 100 for 1918 was SO in Febru-
ary, exactly the same os in September
1881. Germany had a price level OF
81 in February as compared with 109
in September, 1881, and 100 in 1913
France, on a basis of 100 for 1928, had
declined = little above 10 in Septem-

In normal times gold movements
have a bearing upon commodity prices
If country's trade balance is favor
able. which means that it has an excess
of exports, including commodity exports
services and various invisible items, over
imports it must ultimately receive gold
from abroad in settlement. If the trade
balance is unfavorable, which means
that imports exceed exports, gold must
flow out.
This movement of gold back and forth
creates delicate balance. In the coun-
try receiving gold there should theo-
retically be an increase in the money
income of the people and in conse-
quence a greater demand for goods and
higher prices. The increase in domestic

| Those who would approach the sub
| ject through an attack upon costs hold
that the way out Of former depressions
has been through reductions in costs
of production sufficient to offer pros
poets of business. profits. BY widening
| the margin of profit, investment is slim
ulated, and economic progress resumed,
whether by a reduction of costs or an
increase in prices. 1t is especially diftl-
cult, however. to reduce costs because
of labor resistance to wage cuts and the
immobility of debts, including both
principal and interest.
Great Britain IN abandoning the gold
standard in September. 1881, had in
view a scaling down of fixed charges
in industry through currency deprecia-
ton. The wage level had been too high
in relation to the gold value of the
pound. Sterling prices were expected
to rise to correspond to the fall of the
pound. There was an advance of about
per cent, but since then the level has
fallen a little below that existing in
September, 1881. Prices at least fell
less than in the United States

prices would make foreign goods more
attractive to buy and domestic goods
less attractive to foreign purchasers.
The effect would be to stimulate i'm
ports and decrease exports. This tend
ency might continue until imports ex-
ceeded exports which would mean a
reversal of the movement Of gold and
a succession of events leading to new
equilibrium in values. While this proc
ess is taking place in the country first
receiving the gold the country which is
losing gold would suffer a reduction in
money incomes and prices but exports
would be stimulated and imports re-
tarded.
The preparatory commission OF ex-
perts for the World Economic Confer
ence suggested liberal credit policies as
a means of stimulating prices and COM

ket operations conducted by the Fed

Commodity price levels form focal
point around which much Of the discus
sion of the World Economic Conference
will revolve
Measures to be considered by the
conference are designed to raise price
levels or at least to eliminate what the
| economists call the diSequilibrlum be-
tween prices and costs.
There is a wide range of disagree
nent as to just where the price level
situation enters into the depression pic
ture and what the approach should be
| to it.
| Low prices figure both as a cause and
result of depression conditions. To
overcome present difficulties some would
| force prices upward while others would
seek first to cut costs
When the gold delegation of the FL
nancial Committee of the League of Ma
tions made its report last year the ma
jority held that the decline in COM
modify prices and the consequent break
down of the international gold standard
were primarily due to various economic
maladjustments arising from the war
and postwar initiation. These included
profound changes in the structure and
localization of industry, its elaborate
and rigid organizations cartelization,
attempts at price control. pools. valori-
zation schemes, tariffs, prohibitions and
bcuntieS.
A minority of the delegation held that
the fall in the general level of prices
was the fundamental cause of the de-
preston and that this was the result
of the obligation to pay reparationS and
war debts combined with the unwil-

accept payment in goods and services,
so that payment had to be made in
gold.
There is a difference Of opinion as
to whether the different nations should
take steps to advance price levels pre-
vious to general return to the gold
standard or whether the adoption of a
gold basis should be relied upon to IA
cilitate such an advance.
Low Prices Blamed.
All agree that continued low prices,
involving a disequilibrium between
prices and costs, contribute to the con-
tinuance of the depression.
BY reason of low prices the burden
of debts has increased greatly in terms
of real wealth. 1t is much more diff
cult for debtors to discharge obligations
entered into in times of high prices
This difficulty is especially acute with
respect to international obligations, in
cluding both the intergovernmental and
private debts.
In period of slackened business costs
decline more slowly than prices. with
consequent serious effects upon indus
try and employment. The increasing
unemployment decreases purchasing
power and the result is further drop
in prices.
The burden has been especially heavy
upon farmers for the reason that prices
of natural products decline more rap
idly than those of manufactured ar
ticles. Wholesale prices also feel the
effect of a decline more quickly than
retail prices. Costs of living do not
drop as rapidly as incomes.
1t is recognized that if an upward
trend of prices such as has commenced
recently can be maintained industry
will find it profitable to resume opera
tions more extensively and the in
creased employment will furnish new
buying power. This will give a further

The elimination of trade barriers, q
stabilization of currencies, the settle
ment of the debt question and other
similar steps are designed to revive
business and industry and in turn in
f1uence prices. Proposals for a control
of production also have a bearing on
the price situation.

CHRISTMAS CLUB FUNDS

Three hundred and fifty million
dollars will be distributed to about
eight million members of the Christ
mas Club by approximately six
thousand banking institutions and
organizations within the next two
weeks, according to an estimate
given out by Herbert F. Rawll,
founder and president of Christmas
Club, Corporation.
The average amount received by
each member amounts to $43.75.
This figure represents a slight in
crease compared with year ago.
Considered from another angle, if all
the cash in circulation in the country
were evenly divided among our total
population of une hundred and TWEEN
ty million people, each person would
have about $4,000 in-the-pocket
cash. While every member of the
Christmas Club, on the average, has
accumulated in nickels, dimes and
dollars, during this year, sum of
$43.75.
An optimistic expression is found
in many reports from all sections
from the fact that the distribution of
$3.50, 300. 100000 in cash within the
next two weeks will add a terrific
impetus to holiday purchases.
While several individual banks re-
port an actual increase over last
year. decline in membership and a
decline in the number of participant
