'NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDR®wrwen- Henry Clews’ Wackly Letter (Special to the Herald.) New York, March 10,—Such un- certain and strenuous times as we are now passing through have' not been experienced at any period since the Civil war; and there are no indications 6f the end. On the contrary they promise to continue some months longer at least, and the more calmly and courageously they are accepted, the better and the quicker their set- tlement. Worldwise upheaval is at || work here, as elsewhere; and impor tant readjustments, intérnational and domestic, must be anticipated before normal stability is restored. The war. of course, is the first object of anx- fety. President Wilson is steadfast- ly pursuing ‘a conservative course in the hope of avoiding ‘conflicf with Germany. At the same time 'he {s | determined to protect American rights.| at sea, though still'undecided whether. he will arm or convoy American mer- chant vesséls.. ednwhile the gov- ernment i ta tage of she ‘delay to prepa: ¢ #1teventusities. ‘The disgraceful episode in the sengte at the close of congress had one ex- cellent result; it demonstrated that the country was overwhelmingly be- hind the preésident and it also. éx- Posed the sources of disaffection. For several days there has been a com- parative absence of irrating events, especlally as the submarine. campaign proved not as serious as threatened. In consequence there has n & par- tial subgidence of the warlitke feeling J'so pronounced at the close of last month. Growing strength.of the Al- ‘I'ies and declining resistance among the Central Powers also encouraged ‘| hopes of an early end of the war. It wolild not be prudent, however, to i : Taads, are low; and the industrials continue to make large profits, par- ticularly the metal and mineral in- dustries. It is recognized that there will be a tremendous demand for steel for a long period, whether we have peace or war, In either case a large export demand is certain for rallroad and shipbuilding materials, machinery, etc. ‘A heavy export in- quiry for copper and petraleum may also be expected. There has bgen a huge development mhm directions in the United States'for the past two years, and thus far not beyond re- quirements. Our railroad-situation is not entirely satisfactory, Traffio is heavy and gross earnings correspond- ingly so, while recent freight em- bargoes have disappeared under bet- ter regulation. Net returns.for Janu- ary and February were sompgwhat im- paired, as usual by bad weather. Rising expenses are also a serious factor for transportation lines, which are not free to compensats themselves as other industries do' -by charging more for their services. The high cost of steel is already forcing orders for equipment down to the minimum, Some disappointment is felt” By the ‘delay at decision of court on the Adamson law. eral market is of course somewha influenced by the prospect of big gov- ernment loans in event of our drifting into war. Preparations have been . made by the banks for such & con- tingency and a loan of this character would be promptly taken wmmu: any untoward effects. - Additional foreign loans may also be expected later on, though at times their supply | hés temporarily exceeded ddémand. The desirability of some of these issues §s, however, becoming more:and more recognized among investors:: A feature of the week was an advance in German and Austrian . exchange, attributed to selling of foreign hold- ings of Americans, From how of crop news will be a'factor of lnqreu_ ing importance. The government re- indulge such expectations too freely; | ‘port “on the stocks of - grain ‘in the' Germaj from exha impaired. the adjournment: of congress. With public feeling in such an inflammatory state as now exists, open - discussion of international relations seems high- ly undesirable and dangerous. In such a situation the country is in bet- ter hands than of congress, so long as only the latter body can ‘declare war. Unfortunately a large amount of necessary legislation was left un- done, and an extra session will'doubt. less be necessary to_tide over affairs between now and next December. A great deal of discussion is 'cur- rent, especjfally among the politicians concerning ‘high prices and the high costs of living. Circumstances con- sidered, -this agitation is both natural and proper. Unhappily the issue is ‘befogged as usual with. misinforma- tion and prejudice. The condition must be admitted, but the remedies offered are confusing and impracti- cal. All sorts of paternalistic nos- trums are projected, many of them of 2 highly socialistic nature. These in- clude government price fixing, and government ownership or control in some form or another. This socialistic tendency has feceived ' a itremendous push from the wide extension of goy- ernment activities in Europeincited by war necessities. Great Britain, for instance, the home of industrial free- dom, assumed control of shipping, ilroads, distribution of wheat, sugar, cotton, wool, rubber, copper, coal and many other necessities. These move- ments were distinctly socialistic, and there has been considerable fear of their continuance after the war;- bat ‘while justified as solely a war measure. they are working unsatisfactorily and proving the goveynment does not equal private enterprise in either ef- ficiency or economy. Following for- examples, our government is fleld; and should we be drawn into ‘war, government control, if not own- ership, ‘will certainly = be exercised s scale than now. Thus in preventing high prices by these means; and in spite of strenuous, even harsh preventive methods, food prices and all other commodity, prices have soared to extraordinary Heights. The fatlure of foreign governments in this respect should provide a much needed lesson in economics, for they prove to the hilt that prices are still governed by the unalterable law of supply and. demand, and more, that the most powerful governments in the’ world are unable to prevent, though they may modify, its operation for the time being only. The real cause for high prices, whether of food or other products, is war. . Some twelve million men have turned their ener- sies from production to destruction, and many millions more are employed in making destructive -munitions in- stead dr tilling the soil and providing the ordinary necessities of life. The resultant -scarcity of Jabor and com- modities ' inevitably fortes: higher, wages and higher price§ dn, every di- rection. . Iu some. instantes this scarcity has beern intensified"by short crops, by dérangément of transports: tion, by speculation and by the hugh waste' which. war induces. No gen- uine relief can be expected untfl the ‘war ends, or until industry resumes its normal- state. Partial relief is possible by several means. High prices should and_ will stimulate pro- duction, especially of food products. ‘Waste should be energetically stopped in all directions; efficiency should be increaséd wherever possible, and out- . put stimulated by’ every legitimate means..” The. world is’under sentence to consume less and work " harder, such' being the economic:penalty for. the awful crime and:tragedy which has' devastated Europe. Whether we like it or mot, the innocent will suffer with the guilty. Part of the penalty strikes .us in spite of our prosperity. ! Even the far inland peoples of Asia and Africa will feel the pressure of this upheaval no less than ourselves, The only way of relief from high gid. economy and a sturdy effort to increase the national produc- tion.
