BOSTON, Nov. 16.-Price Adj
ministrator Chester Bowles said
today that the greatest threat from
imitation would come three to six
months after victory in Europe.
1T is then that we will face
pressures from all sides to lift
inventory controls, to lift price
controls and production controls
he said in speech before the
Governors session of the third New
England War Conference. -
Failure to maintain stable prices
after the war, Mr.. Bowles said
would cause a serious setback tc
the opportunity for building pros
porous, full production America tc
which 1900, 600 soldiers and sailors
are looking forward
Mr.. Bowles, discussing OPA re-
conversion pricing policy, said: =
First, we will hold manufac-
turers' prices at or close to early
1912 levels; we will allow
price increases to the manufacturer
only Wnen really necessary to secure
full production and reasonable
profit.
When such price increases are
necessary we ordinarily will expect
them to be absorbed to a reasonable
degree by the distributive trades
just as our manufacturers from the
earliest days Of the war have alb
sorbed cost increases in their fac
tories" -

age resulting from Government re-
fusal to raise prices. say the ON

The nat rejection Of the Inter.
American Coffee Boards oflicial re-
quest would not have been issued,
informed sources emphasized today,
without reasonable assurance
against another stoppage OF ship
ments.

IAN important item In the weekly

4. Pact Reached With Brazil.
Six weeks ago coffee imports
virtually ceased when South Amer
lean shippers sought a price In
crease. OPA was on the verge OF
ordering . return to coffee ration.
ing when IN 1lth-hour agreement
with Brazil was reached, assuring,
shipment of 1,000, 900 bags q month.
That agreement runs, however,
only until the years end. No ON
cial assurance was given in Wash
ington that this ample rate OF ship
nlent would continue into 1915.
Latin American countries, suffer-
Ing. from higher costs Of production
and packaging, have pleaded that
1t was becoming Improbable to ship
to the United States. While the
United States can control their
price, they argued. this country can
not alleviate an already inflated
cost situation.
The statement by Price Admins
traitor Bowles and Food Admins
TRAITOR Jones said these claims had
been given careful consideration. 81
Their rejection implied that the
producing countries would have to
solve the cost problem.
Favorable Factors.
These factors are relied on to
work against a new supply crisis:
First. the smaller producing
countries in Central America usu-
ally ship in the months of January,
February and March--in other
words starting when the Brazilian
agreement expires. n
Second, these coffee sources, whose
shipments now are limited by quota,
might be persuaded to increase
shipments at present price ceilings
II their quotas were increased. !
Third, expansion of such Central
American exports might be a useful
lever on Brazil.
And finally the delay in Allied
gains in Europe removes
the incentive for speculative hold
ing. Ofilcials believe that expecta-
ton of an early opening OF Euro
pean markets was ones motive be-
hind the stoppage of shipments. |

Saar's Value

This Saar basin for which the Allies are
fighting so desperately is only about half the
size of Delaware. 1t contains but 40 square
miles. But it is rich SO rich that it is a
treasure house Of black gold.
Germany has been absorbing 1850 600 tons
OF coal from it since the 1885 plebiscite under
which the Saar reverted to Germany after
II years OF rule by the League of Nations
with its coal going to France in payment for
the German destruction of French coal mines
during the former World war and in partial
payment OF reparations
The Germans have no intention of surrend
ering this great asset without violent and
costly struggle 1t will be captured, beyond
doubt. But the Allies will not find the same
type of cooperation or obedience that vel.
coined them in Alsace-Lorraine. The Saar is
German to the CORE its people as fanatical
as any Nazi in Hitler's Reich.
Compensation for losses and for difficulties
to be expected from the population will be
offset by the acquisition of the coal mines
and the deprevation of their output for the
Germans.

Bombs And Earthquakes

6eismologists are divided in opinion as to
whether B-2a bombings may be credited with
causing the earthquake which shook an I'm.
defined area in Japan and islands extending
northward to the Aelut ms. DR.. Harold o.
Nhitnan Of Colgate University believes they
did on the score that a Japanese volcano
erupted after the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, that
Vesuvious efupted after heavy firing in Italy
and now an earthquake and tidal waves come
In the wake Of our bombers which blasted
Japanese industrial areas. DR.. Whitnan OBJ
viously believes there was more than COIN
eidence in these happenings.
The Rev. Joseph J. Lynch Of Fordham dis
agrees with DR.. Whitnall, saying that the "ef-
feet OF a bomb compared with the effect
e an earthquake is as a flea to an ele-
phant," and adds that bombing would not in
crease the chemical activity which causes vol
canic disturbances.
Between the two opinions there is world
Of difference. Without attempting to defend
or support either, it seems quite possible that
the conclusion caused by blockbusting bombs,
particularly if they exploded near fault line,
where earthquakes originate. might cause a
shifting and make the earth tremble over a
farf1ung area.
It will be remembered by old-timers that
the earthquake which did such heavy damage
In San Francisco actually originated hun
dred O. more miles from the city. Something,
still undetermined but ascribed by few scien
lists to vibration caused by trains in a tunnel
ut the rim Of the fault, caused slight set

WITH THE AEF
Reactions In Action

So1nStimes these comparisons
can be tragic. For instance, line
company message runner has one
of the toughest jobs along the
front. He. constantly is running a
gauntlet of mines, mortars, small
arms fire and all sucn frontline
hazards.
But company commander
showed me the diary of one of his
riflemen VINO had been killed in
action one day. He was sending
it home along with the kids eff
fects, but had to see if it. needed
censoring first. 1t didn't.
"At long last things seem to be
breaking my way" the kid had
written a few hours before mis-
death. Il still won't believe it un-
til it happens, but it looks now
like I'm going to get outa this pla-
toon and get company runners
job--What break
BE-. You see. bad as it is. a COM
pany runners job still is slightly
better than that of rifleman.
But the kid didn't live long
enough to realize even that pa
thetically small ambition.
