BY A. R. DECKER. Cable to The Star. BERLIN, Germany, January 5.—The full effects of the official government price-reducing campaign in Germany are not expected to show for several months, The cost of living index drop- ped 1 point, or 1 per cent, during De- cember and a further drop is expected but consumers have not been given the cheap prices they expected when the emergency decrees were issued Many official decreases in prices are half-finished goods, as fron and steel finished goods are placed on et the decrees cannot alt I to the consumer. Rent redu tions do not apply to subtenants and only competition can bring prices down In general, the Berlin housewife is pleased with the trend of prices, for ad, potatoes, meat, pots, pans, gas i electricity all are somewhat cheap- At the same time 10 per cent has been taken off the rent. However, prices in Germany have not fallen at the same rate as in other countries, so that the cost of living is still high The average German worker is not aided much by price reductions, for arbitrary wage reductions more than compensate the benefit. The German wage carner and housewife are econ- omizing by lowering their standard of living. ~ Articles are not purchased for quality, but for price.
