Professor Of Economics. y. \. University
Doubtless some good may
come from a wise supervision of
price movements, and this may
turn out 10 be what the new
office of price administration has
in minG.
Certainly there are three i'm
portant evils which are apt to
attend periods of initiation and
sharply rising prices evils
OF speculation. boarding. and
prOfteering.
When men anticipate large
rise in prices, they invariably
seek TO gain. thereby To that
end they buy to hold for the
rise. which is speculation. Some
speculation is necessary. and.
when done by experts. is beneh-
cial TO society. But when carried
TO excess. whether in the shape
Of large inventories or OF long
positions in commodity markets.
speculation may become mere
gambling and iniure everybody.

HITLER PRETENDS
NOT TO KNOW
CAUSE OF WAR


England and France" Once again
in his German Memorial Day speech
Reichsfuhrer Hitler has stressed this
point. It apparently mystifies him
that these two countries should have
declared war on the Third Reich. He
speaks as if he cannot understand
such situation. 1t is possible he
cannot. That may be why he refers
to it so often in an attempt to justify
the Nazi position.
Herr Hitler speaks of Poland. 1t
was not Poland that was so impor-
tant to Britain, but a stable interna-
tional society in which all nations,
larger and smaller than Poland, could
live in security. Poland was the fl
nal line drawn by the British after
the trial of Nazi good faith in Czecho
slovakia had brought establishment.
AS matter of strategy, the draw
ing of the line in Poland was not at
tractive. It was drawn there because
public opinion in Britain would not
wait until after another retreat to
make a stand against aggression. Sol
far from "thrusting Poland forward"
as Herr Hitler charges British lead
ers with doing, the British showed
that they would have welcomed al
peaceful settlement of the Germanl
claims against Poland if this could
have been achieved by anything ap-
preaching real negotiation.
Statements that Germany demand
ed nothing of England" must be
meant for German ears alone. They
do not help Nazi propaganda among
free peoples. In fact, the statement
that Germany demanded nothing of
England" is one answer to fence-sit-
tiers in the United States or else
where who suspect Britain of fight
ing another imperialist war;" Had
Britain been content with the sort of
Europe Naziism was aiming at, it
need not have feared Nazi demands,
according to Herr Hitler himself.
Then why is Britain fighting? For
the same reason, evidently, that the
United States is aiding Britain's
fight. The position of neither of
these countries is taken wholly in
spirit of selfsacrificing altruism. But
both have developed a view of their
own selfinterest that inevitably in
cludes the self-interest of other ma
lions as well. Both are not sure they
could exist as free nations of free
peoples in the kind of world. Naziism
would create. When Prime Minister
Churchill and President Roosevelt
speak of fighting for the rights
small nations they are talking of a
cold fact, not of warm wish. The
kind of world American and Britain
need is the kind of world in which
small as well as large nations would
be safe. Not primarily for the sake
of small nations, but for their own
sakes, that is the kind of world these
two big nations must have.
If it were true that Germany de-
manded nothing of England and
France, then it would be true that
it demanded even less of the United
States. But this can be true only in
an Utterly materialistic and imperial
istic sense. The Nazis demanded that
Britain and France relinquish their
influence in Europe, that they per-
nit the Nazi leaders to handle all
weaker Continental groups in a man.
ner to be judged only by the "elite"
in Berlin, that Britain and France
surrender their own concepts of self
