A PRAYER FOR DISCRETION

Three weeks ago Europe went to It was
tragic step, but not unexpected In fact,
the people of this country had been wondering for
months when the conflict would begin and, more
especially how it would affect them.
Already war has influenced political and
economic life. Soon after the cannons began to
President Roosevelt invoked the neutrality act for
bidding the shipment of munitions and war materials
to beligerents. To discuss that act Congress has
been called into session and convenes today in Wash
ington Administration leaders say they will ask for
legislation allowing warning nations to buy
munitions in this country a cash-and-carry basis.
Several solationst Congressman already have signi-
fed their intention to fight such proposal.
In the impending debate tempers are likely to
RISE Both those in favor of change in neutrality
and those opposed to it convinced that the coun-
try will best be served by their methods. There are
eloquent speakers and of great determination in
both camps. However, before the debate begins let
hope that every legislator considers the gravity
of the situation.
Democracy today exists only in one great nation,
own. Germanys Reichstag makes only farce
of popular representation while taking orders as to
what legislation to consider. Similar situations pre-
vail in Italy, Soviet Russia and Japan Britains
Parliament and the French Chamber of Deputies have
given their respective preers dctatoral powers for
at least the duration of the True lesser
tries have maintained democratic institutions but it
is highly conceivable that both they and their forms
of government may disappear by the time the guns
firing.
Only in the United States, among the i'm
portant powers representatives of all the people
convene and reject or approve measures to guide the
course of the nation. Each member of Congress is
free to consider the issue, decide upon his course
explain his viewpoint and vote for it. Let us pray
that no legislator abuses that privilege.
This is no time for emotional outbursts at the
Capitol Orgies of oratory and passionate pleas for
the other of the nations now at war are out
Of order. The situation calls for cool thinking and
camness. This nation is not at war and need not
take any steps toward war The question is not how
we can help one of the bellgerents, but how the
United States best preserve it's neutrality Let
forget that.

MORE ABOUT CALMNESS

People of this community have been suffering the
last few weeks from their war of nerves." With
almost the first certain food prices right
here went sky-high in comparison to their former
levels. minor panic developed among housewives
Many announced intentions of laying up stocks of
various commodities. Remembering the food short
age of 1914-1918 days. could hardly blame them.
Actually, however their actions only made the sit
uation worse.
In the first place, it was only natural to expect
price boosts in commodities eventually. If this
country is to help supply warning nations the demand
for food well other articles, is bound to grow.
It probably was in anticipation Of this that the
initial price boosts made. However, there was
no excuse for them This country has large surplus,
not shortage, of practically every necessity of fe
especially of food Indeed, that very surplus has been
a problem to the nation for several years. If there
is to be any profteerng, it should, and probably will
be stamped out.
But to get back to the buyers of this area. They
can, TO a very large extent help solve the problem
of rising prices 1t is up to them to remain calm,
to realize that there will be no shortage. Realizing
that they should buy calmly and at normal rate.
For food boarding is solution. Such tactics far
have only served to make prices go higher. The
sensible purchase of everyday produce, the wise buy
ing of staples will help business to keep it's head by
proving that the purchaser has kept his.

CHILDREN OF CITY
FOUND HEALTHIEST
Lowered F arm Income Causes
Widespread Malnutrition.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.-The dras-
tic lowering of farm incomes dur
ing depression years has been the
cause of recent scurvy epidemics
in Maine and dietary deficiencies
in Vermont and other rural states,
Lydia Tarrant, nutritionist of the
University Of Vermont, told men,
bers of the New England Health
Education institute at M. I. T.
Contrary to popular belief the city
child is healthier than his supposed
ly red-cheeked country cousin, Miss
Tarrant declared. The object of a
program Of education in Bennington
county, Vermont, has been to show
the farmers how to live better and
fight malnutrition despite lowered
income.
For years farmers wives have
been trying to feed their families
properly on an average income Of
about 1878 year. Only II per cent
Of the children and none Of the adults
had a quart Of milk a day. Two
vegetables a day, besides potatoes,
were enjoyed by only half Of the
farm population. Fresh fruits were
almost unknown as a regular part
of the diet.
AS a result Of the survey, the ex-
tension service Of the university has
shown the farmers wives they must
spend So a week on the food for
each member of the family. AS a
result farmers have been drinking
more Of their own milk and raising
more vegetables for home consump-
ton.
Other speakers at the two-day
convention were Louis Lyons Of the
Boston Globe, Florence L. Mckay,
assistant director Of the division Of
child hygiene, Massachusetts de-
partment of public health, and DR..
Charles C. Wilson, director of physi-
cal and health education, Hartford,

Claims Device Can Run
Auto on Water and I've

DALLAS. TEXAS.-Henry Gar
rett, rs years old, an electrician
and inventor Of some note, said to-
day he had patented an automobile
carburetor which would permit the
use of water and ordinary I've as
motor fuel.
"The only adjustment necessary
in present automobiles" he said,
will be to adapt the piston cham
bers to the more powerful explosion.
One gallon Of water mixed with
can Of ordinary I've will, with my
carburetor, do the work Of 1000 gal

The carburetor, he said, breaks
the water into explosive hydrogen
and oxygen gases eight times more
powerful than the vapors con-
densed from gasoline in orthodox
carburetors.

With autos being improved each year, roads made
safer railroad crossings eliminated and bad highways

dents. We admire the spirit in which motor makers
combined their efforts to increase the safety of
their products We appreciate the construction and
repair of roads. But there still is certain type of
auto driver whom motor progress nor road i'm
provement can phase. We refer, of course, to the
careless driver. Will safety campaigns driving
schools traffic courts affect him? We doubt it. It
does seem shame, though, that his actions can
defeat all the good work done by so many people in
the name of safety.

Hoarding and High Prices

6ruck0rfS Washington Digest
Crooks Take Advantage Of War
To Bleed Consumers of Nation
Without justification Prices Are Boosted and People
Scared Into Hoarding; Public Sentiment Is Only
Force That Can Correct the Racketeering
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press BIdg Washington D. C.

WASHINGTON. My faith in the
soundness Of the profit system as
the basis for people to make living
always has caused me to lean some
what to the defense of business prac-
tees when there had to be a choice
between theories. Every fair mind
ed person knows that business-ag-
riculture, manufacturing, banking,
transportation or any L other-has
had a terrific onslaught of cock
eyed arguments to meet in the last
few years. To me. it is a distinct
tribute to the profit system that we
have seen as many businesses sur
vive the last FIVE or six years as
there are still operating.
But, calling upon the record Of
these columns, l have commended
without exception that there are
crooks In business, and that the
present administration ought to d.
rect some Of its venom at the
crooks, rather than at business as a
whole. And, so, this week, / want
to write about this situation that has
come to the surface as a result Of
the burst of flame that has engulfed
Europe; they have shown again the
true colors Of their makeup and they
have taken advantage of situation
in world affairs, without any justi-
fication, to bleed the consumers Of
the United States.
Almost with the crash of the first
gun on the Eastern front, a small
minority of business interests
rubbed the palms of their hands to-
gether and began to count additional
dollars they could gain in profits by
boosting prices. And to cover up
their perfidy, their treachery and
their characteristics of a water
snake, they have spread a counter
pane Of lies that will react against
all business, including the growers
of raw materials such as the crops
Of the fields. 1t is so easy to blame
things on the war; it is being done
by government officials as well
as the brigands of business, but the
latter class is collecting an unseen
(but deeply felt) tax from all of US
who buy food to eat or clothes to
wear.

Public Sentiment Is Only
Force to Work Effectively

Alu WHAT Will De Lue result OF
all Of these things? I said early
they would react on all business,
good business as well as the rats.
The government can not do any
thing about it. Public sentiment Is
the only force that can operate eff
fectively, and public sentiment
ought to exert its pressure.
There will be lot of talk about
government control and there will
be half-baked, and even quarter
baked schemes offered in abund-
ance-an with serious desire to
break the grip of the small ele-
ment that has started this wave of
fright, higher prices and more
fright. OF course, it is unlikely that
there will be any legislation result,
because as far as I can find out
there is no sound and workable
method by which government can
reach the scoundrels responsible.
Yet, there will be efforts made and
there will be investigations, and the
demagogues without any more idea
Of what to do than your runt pig
will shout and harrangue and create
new doubts as to any and every
kind of business practice. And hav-
ing as many crackpots in places of
responsibility as we now have in
the federal government, you can be
sure that those boys will give birth
to ideas in quintuplet quantities.
So, when one sums up all of the
data, it is made to appear that all
honest and fair-minded business
men had better get together and use
their own type Of blackjacks on the
elements within their ranks that
constitute a cancer on trade.

advertising in Washington and Bal
timore. Washington is somewhat
different than any other city in the
United States, but Baltimore is a
large industrial area, fairly reflect
ing normal reactions Of buyers. I
have observed the prices Of chain
stores and traced them back to
wholesalers and jobbers, and to the
manufa cturers in some instances.
Guilt attaches to small per-
centage in the retail lines, the av-
erage store. There were instances
found where the prices were boosted
on commodities that had been on
the shelves three months, articles
that could not have been affected in
any way by any possible change in
manufacturing costs, added ex-
penses due to higher labor payments
or increases in transportation and
distribution. And, incidentally, there
is almost no record of any increases
in those items Of manufacturing and
distributing costs The department
Of commerce figures do not reflect
them, nor do the reports in the
hands Of the department Of labor
show them. But the beady-eyed rats
behind the counters of small per-
centage Of retail stores will blandly
tell you these things have happened.
Some Wholesalers Are as
Guilty as Sneak ThieUes
There are certain of the whole
salers who are as guilty as sneak
thieves in the night, but, like the
retailers, not all of them are re-
sorting to price increases for plain
profit. From my own inquiries and
from all of the information that has
been made available to me, am
inclined to believe there are more
Wholesalers larger percentage Of
them-who have taken advantage of
the perils of the times than can be
SHOWN among the retailers. In
stances of actual sales and cancella-
tons Of contracts and refusal Of de-
Iveries and delays in handling ship
ments were related, where added
profit accrued to the wholesaler or
jobber, that almost seemed too
fiendish to believe And worse, those
fellows were constantly offering new
suggestions that had no basis in
fact in justification of their acts.
We heard every one Of the alibis Of
fered during the days of 1917.
And the manufacturers. A flock
OF those fellows, again, not large
percentage, were found to be hiking
their prices on goods already manu-
featured and ready for delivery.
Now, l ask how on earth the prices
on finished product can be influ-
enced by conditions that did not
arise until after the work was done.
The only answer I obtained to the
question anywhere was that replace
ments would cost more. and there
must be an inventory Of sufficient
size maintained to meet the demand.
In other words, that limited group
was taking the profit while the taxi
ing was good.
One can not examine the situation,
as now presented without consider
ing the stock market-the buying
and selling Of securities. 1t is not
news to hear that quotations have
doomed on every share Of stock Of
a corporation that may sell an add
ed cargo overseas. believe it Is
fair to state, however. that this con-
dition Is one Of pure gambling, and

People Are Frightened
And Commence Hoarding

In discussing the situation around
Washington, found another influ-
ence, or what might be called an
other basis for excitement. 1t is
quite unjustified, Of course, but peo-
pie nevertheless were swayed by it.
President Roosevelt has been talk
ing about the dangers that exist,
and how we must avoid them in
order to stay out Of the European
cataclysm. Heads of government
agencies everywhere have been
echoing the sentiment. There can
be no argument: this nation must
stay out and must help to keep all
of the nations of North and South
America out of the stream Of molten
lava that is spreading through the
belligerent nations. It may be
necessary evil, then, an unavoidable
phase Of world affairs, that people
are frightened and seek to hoard.
The tragedy of it is that the I'M
principled element I have referred
to is in position to capitalize upon
such a circumstance.
But to get down to cases, let me
repeat that there has been no in
crease worth noting in wages, in the
costs Of raw materials. There has
been no increase whatever in trans
portations costs. There has been no
increase in overhead expenses Of
grower or producer or manufacturer
or wholesaler and jobber or retailer.
All of these may come, and prob
ably will come some time, but they
have not arrived and when anyone
attempts to justify profiteering
prices, that Individual should be
asked to show how and where those
increases have had their origin. My
guess is that, for the time being at
least, most of these price increases
are due largely to racketeering.
