Problem Faced by Government
In Keeping Living Costs Down

and other essential items only back
to where they were in 1887. 1t
only cancels the slump from 1887 to
1899. Furthermore, 1t still leaves
the cost of living a good II per cent
under what it was in the supposed
palmy days of 1929.
What is more. Government sta
tisticians estimate that factory pay
rolls. the whole national income for
that matter, is running at rates very
substantially in excess of 1929. The
national income is said to be run
ming at an annual rate of about
$50 900 900 900, about 5 per cent
higher than in 1929. Of course, the
population has increased a bit more
than that, but when it is considered
that a dollar earned will still buy
much more than in 1929, the COM
parison with that year is scarcely
black, even if prices rise some
further
But there is compiacency about
it. Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson said in speech recently:
I'VE will deceive ourselves If we
believe that the cost of living will
level off shortly and everything will
be all right. Costs of and prices
of many consumer items have al
ready risen at the wholesale level
it is only a question of time lag
when they will hit the pocketbook.

Sitting on the price lid grows

The Government started early in
this war to thwart the return of
the hated monster of the first World
War days, old H. C. L.-high cost
of living.
Latest satisfies indicate that what
it takes for the average mans bread,
board and normal requirements has
not increased draStically-not yet.
But food costs alone have taken
a pronounced jump since spring;
sensitive raw material prices gen.
orally, despite Government pressure
against individual items like steel
and copper, have leaped upward,
and Government officials are freely
predicting that from now on drastic
measures will be necessary.
Cost of living figures, statisticians
admit, are pretty sketchy, because
conditions vary widely in different
localities. and requirements of per-
sons in different walks of life differ
sharply.
1.3 Per Cent Rise in June.
The most recent figure, the cost
of living index for wage earners
issued by the National Industrial
Conference Board in New York, a
private research organization which
began to study such problems in
the late World War period, shows
for June rise of 13 per cent over
May. and a gain of nearly 5.4 per
cent since August, 1899, or since the
present world war started.

japanese Industry
Held Dependent on
u. 5. Raw Materials
Native Supplies and
Exports Limited,
Shipping Figures Show

AS an export and industrial ma
ton, Japan is largely dependent on
supplies of raw materials from the
United States and other foreign
countries. according to a Com
merce Department report. Only
in a few products, such as silk,
aquatic goods and camphor. does
Japan occupy a dominant role as
a world supplier, it said.
Although half of the Japanese
people still earn their livelihood
from the soil, Japan in recent years
has become a highly industrialized
country. With the development of
cotton textile, silk, rayon, wooden,
metal, machinery, shipbuildlng.
chemical, electrical and pottery in
dustries Japan has now achieved a
high rank among the manufacturing
nations of the world.
The rise of Japan's heavy indus
tries since the World War has been
based on imports of iron ore, scrap
iron, coking COAL machinery, ma
| chine tools and other materials, the
report stated. Using raw cotton
from the United States, British In
dia, Egypt and elsewhere, Japan
manufactures cotton piece goods for
re-export. Japans rayon industry
depends on wood pulp imports from
the United States and other coun-
tries. Other vital raw material i'm
ports are wool from Australia and
rubber from British Malaga and the
Netherlands East Indies.
Imports in 1910.
Since September, 1910, Japan has
discontinued publication of all de-
tailed trade figures. During the first
nine months of that year, principal
Japanese imports, with their value
we're as follows: Raw cotton, $685.
487,000 yen; oils, fats and wakes
237, ,3O8, 900 yen; beans and peas, S6,-
$4,000 yen: coal, 85.543,00 yen:
sleeps wool, 85,320,000 yen; salt
49,157,000 yen, and pulp for artificial
silk, 4l.421 900 yen.
Leading exports for the same pc
riod were raw silk, 299 100000 yen;
cotton piece goods, 288, ,963,000 yen;
machinery and parts, 191 ,407 ,00C
yen; ores and metals, 98,607 900 yen
and artificial silk piece goods, e6,
681 900 yen.
On October Is, 1899, the value OF
the yen was officially pegged al
slightly less than "a cents. Conver-
sion of trade figures at this rate
gives a distorted picture, the Com
merce Department report pointed
out.
The United States has been the
chief foreign purchaser of Japan's
silk. Approximately $4,000, 900 per-
sons in Japan, it is estimated, derive
all>or part of their income from the
silk industry.
Chief American Purchases.
United States exports to Japan ir
1910 were valued at $223, ,948 900
Principal items, with their values
were petroleum and products, $54,.

fense needs are shortening available
supplies, just at time when wage
earners, hungry for all kinds OF
goods, are getting more pay" he
added
Just how the Government can
control the rise from now on is the
big problem. Mr.. Henderson says
in addition to sitter price control
the Government must take up some
of the increased purchasing power
by higher taxes and the stimulation
of savings, and that attention should
be given to expansion of production
of consumer goods that do not COM
pete with defense.
Food costs have set the upward
trend recently. as it is shown in the
charts and figures of the U. S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The latest bureau report of food
price changes in the retail market
from mid-May to mid-June said
that food costs had advanced 104
per- cent in seven months and that
the general level was 1873 per cent
above the level for August, 1889.
FURRY After War Started.
There was a furry of retail buy
ing in the first month of the war
that hiked the retail cost of food.
Housewives, mindful of the price
rises in the first World War, rushed
out to buy certain table items. But
the increase was short lived.
The cost of living level, includ-
ing food, dropped during the fall
OF 1889, but turned slightly upward
again early in 1910 From then on
through the first quarter of 1941 the
cost of living fluctuated within mar
row limits.
An upward trend became more
noticeable in the late winter and
spring of 194l. especially in food,
although rents in some places
bounded upward with the influx of
workers for defense manufacturing
and construction.
Last spring food prices began to
move faster and from March to May
jumped 81 per cent. In that period
the general level of rents moved up
less than l per cent, housing fur
nishings about p per cent and
clothing about 0.5 per cent.
Wholesale price advances for food
regarded as the most important
item in the wage-earner's budget
are being increasingly reflected in
| the retail markets.
Retail Egg Prices Jump.
The retail price of eggs on the
basis of reports from 56 cities in
creased 10.7 per cent from mid May
to mid-June and was "a per cent
higher than in June, 1910.
Pork chops advanced 81 per cent
in the month and 30.3 per cent in
the year Coffee gained 80 per
cent for the month and rs for the
year. Butter was up 1.9 from May
to June and Is per cent over June,
1910. Round steak advanced IL
for the month and 5.3 during the
year. Potatoes were up 31.S per
/ cent from May to June, which was
partly seasonal and partly due to
smaller supplies.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
cost Of living index adjusted in re-
lation to the average of 1858
| prices as base of 100 shows that
living costs in 1923 and 1929 stood
slightly above 1872,

June, 1899, and climbed up gradually
during the subsequent war months

Army TO Show
1st colon Tank
International New. Service Wire


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.-With
the Baldwin Locomotive Works
ready TO begin mass production,
the United States Army will
demonstrate its first 60-ton tank
Monday, it was disclosed today.
The giant tanks are powered
with 1,400-horsepower airplane en-
gineS. They are welded together,
rather than riveted and have
metal instead of rubber treads.
Although other factors in the
tanks construction are carefully
guarded secrets, the army officials
make no bones about its weight
and size. admitting they are up
against the problem of transport
ing the huge land fortresses. Their
weight is so great, il was ex-
planned, they would crush ordinary
highways and they are too big to
be transported on regular railroad
cars.
Navy officials have urged that
a dock be constructed on the
Delaware River side of the Bald
win plant and the tanks rolled
right onto ships for transportation.

Plane Output
BY w. w. CHAPLIN

Init News Service National Defense Expert
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Col. John
II. Jouett, official spokesman for
the American aircraft industry,
tore aside the veil OF secrecy
shrouding American war plane
production today, disclosing pro-
duction figures indicating that
American factories are already
turning out more military planes a
month than Germany.
Colonel Jouett, who was re-
elected president Of the Aeronau-
teal Chamber of Commerce OF
America after his address at the
organizations annual meeting, said
that United States military plane
production for 1941 will be nearly
20, 0O0," and predicted that in the
coming year production will in
crease to a rate of $4,000 planes a
year.
The government announced mill
tary plane production figures
through September of this year
and then clamped on an alright
gag on further disclosures.
1851 IN o MONTHS
Official figures for the first nine
months of the year showed that
1851 planes were built in that
period.
Colonel Jouetts announcement
OF the years total production.
based on his close official contact
with all the country's plane manu-
facturers, disclosed. for the first
time that the total for the last
three months of 1871 will be APP
proximately 7,349, or a monthly
average of 2,447.
AS the production figures were
progressive during the nine months
when they were publicly an
nounced, ii may be assumed that
this is true also for the last quar-
ter of the year. The September
figure, final government announce
ment was 1914 planes.
GERMAN OUTPUT
A safe guess is that the rising
scale is approximately 1900 for
October, $500 for November, and
1920 for December, which would
give the 10000 total mentioned by
Colonel Jouett.
Latest reliable figures on Ger
man plane production place the
output as being fairly we'll stab
ilized at $500 planes a month,
which has stood as world record
until confronted with the impilca-
tons of today's statement by the
spokesman for the American air
craft industry.
