LITTLE FREEDOM

AS regards labor. the War La
Dor Board. the War Manpower
Commission, the hold the line
order and the Smith Connally Act
leave little freedom of action
either TO employers or employees,
so far as wage policies are con-
cerned.
Employers cannot refuse TO pro-
duce. and little more freedom OF
action appertains to the workmen.
These restrictions may be accepta-
BILE as war measures, but they
should be clearly understood as
going far toward cancelling the
right of the workman to ,ell his
labor 10 the best possible advan-
tage and the right of the EN-.
+ployer to determine for himself
what wages he is willing 20 pay
subject to minimum standards
which are now generally accepted
by the community.

MARKET ABROAD

An important part of the mar

For this. we have 10 thank the
present administration.
Nor is there any answer in the
proposal 10 suhSidize exports. This
would only fan the flames of in
ternational rivalry. and would
stuItify our attempts al good

FUNDAMENTALLY WORSE

In some ways. the present con-
dition of commodity markets is
fundamentally worse than II was
in 1918. This is because of pre-
vious government policies. In some
cases, prices have been artificially
maintained. and this has been
done with the aid of vast accumu.
lations of surplus stocks financed
by the government.
Some people may argue that
the government needs only TO keep
on financing the carrying of such
stocks, and the markets will be
all right. OF course. one weakness
in this argument Is that govern
ments are apt to change, and
voters get tired of carryiry tax
loads. But the fundamental weak.
ness lies in the price policy, which
goes along with the stocks and
which destroys markets. perhaps
permanently. Such is the case
with cotton.

Hint Of Peace
Drops Prices
Huge Problem Faced
In Surplus Disposal
By LEWIS HANEY

HtVieeeof W Ee"hVfhfsnt ~ - N"s'''"s's
The break in commodity prices
which occurred the other day is
not to be wondered at. II is the
usual occurrence at the end of a
war. and the end of the war in
Europe is now in sight. Vast re-
serves of plant and materials are
accumulated for war purposes.
These have to be maintained until
peace is sure. Then, with peace,
comes the problem of disposing of
the SURPRISES. Even the anticipa-
ton of the strain this may put on
markets, may cause prices 70
crack.
Anyone who remembers the pre-
Ieipitate reaction in commodity
prices following World War /. in
the fall of 1913. will be> able to
realize the general significance OF
the present position. (And after
the first reaction. came the big
recession of 1920-21).
