The; constitute a burden upon us which is the more unbearable because we know that it is wilfully imposed by those who have the power and that it can, by vigorous public action, be greatly lightened and made to square with the actual conditions of supply and demand. Some of the methods by which these prices are produced are alveady illegal, some of them criminal and those who employ them will be energetically proceeded against; but others have not yet been brought under the law, and should e dealt with at once by legislation. Prices Demanded. “I need not recite the particulars of this critical matter; the prices de- manded and paid at the sources of supply, at the factory, in the food markets at the shops. in the restaur- ants and hotels, alike in the city and in the village. They are familiar to you. They are the talk of every do- mestic circle and of every group of casual acquaintances even. It is a matter of familiar knowledge, also, that a process has set in which is like- ly unless something is done, to push prices and rents and the whole cost of living higher and yet higher in a vicious cycle to which there is no log- ical or natural end Demands For Wage Increase. “With the increases in the prices of necessaries of life come demands for increa in wages—demands which are justified if there be no oth- er means of enabling men to live. Upon the increase of wages there fol- lows close an increase in the price of the products whose producers have been accorded the increase—not a proportionate increase, for the man- ufacturer does not content himself with that, but an increase consider- ably greater than the added wage cost is oftentimes hardly more than an excuse. The laborers who do not get an increase in pay when they de- mand it are likely to strike, and the strike oniy makes matters worse. It checks production, it affects the rail- it prevents distribution and the markets, so that there is presently nothing to buy, and there is another excessive addition to prices resulting from the scarcity. “These are facts and forces with which we have Fecome only too fa- miliar; but we are not justified be- cause of our familiarity with them or because of any nasty and shallow conclusion that they are natural and inevitable in sitting inactively by and letting them work their fatal results if there is anything that we can do to check, correct or reverse them. I have sought this opportunity to in- form the congress what the executive is doing by way of remedy and con- trol, and to suggest where gffective le- gal remedies are lacking and may be supplied. No Immediate Remedy. “We must, I think, frankly admit that there is no complete immediate remedy be had from legislation and executive action. The free processes of supply and demand will not operate of themselves and no legislative or executive action can force them into full and natural operation until there CONTROL ACT TO REDUCE H. C. OF L. President Wants Provisions Against Hoarding Be Made dstuffs, But to Fuel, Cloth- ing, Etc.—Law to Regulate Cold Storage. materials of every sort—but this is no foreign purchasers will be able to find the money or the credit to pay for or sustain such purchases on such a scale; how soon or to what extent for- eign manufacturers can farmer production, foreign farmers get their accustomed crops from their own fields, foreign mines resume their for- mer output, foreign merchants set up again their old machinery of trade with the ends of the earth. All these things must remain uncertain until peace is established and the nations of the world have concerted the methods by to be restored. All th in the meantime, to re ing and put the life t we shall do, ain profiteer- our of upon a tolerable footing will be make- shift and pravisional. There can be no settled conditions here or else- where until the treaty of peace is out of the way and the work of liquidating the war has become the chief coneern of our government and of the other governments of the world. Until then business will inevitably remain specu- lative and sway now this way and again that, with heavy Josses or heavy gains as it may chance, and the con- sumer must take care of both the gains and the losses. There can be ho peace prices so long our whole financial and economic system is on a war basis. Europe will not, cannot re- coup her capital or put her restle: distracted peoples to work until she knows exactly where she stands in respect of peace: and what we will do far her the chief question upon which her quietude of mind and con- fidence of purpose depend. While there is any possibility that the peace terms may be changed or may be held long in abeyance or may not be en- forced because of divisions of opinion among the powers associated against Germany, it is idle to look for perma- nent relief. Must Act At Once. what we can do should do at a great deal do, provisional though it may be. Wheat shipments and credits to facilitate the purchase of our wheat can and will be limited and con- trolled in such a way as not to raise but rather to lower the price of flour he The government has the power, within certain limits, to reg- ulate that. We cannot deny wheat to foreign peoples who are in dire need of it, and we do not wish to do so; but, fortunately, though the wheat crop is not what we hoped it would be, it is abundant if handled with provident care. The price of wheat is lower in the United States than in Europe, and can with proper management be kept so. “By wi of mmediate relief, sur- plus socks of both food and cloth- ing in the hands of the government will be sold, and of course, sold at prices at which there is And by way of a more permanent correction of prices surplus stocks in private hands will be drawn out of storage and put upon the mar- ket. Fortunately, under the terms of the food control act the hoarding of foodstuffs can be checked and pre- vented; and they will be, with the greatest energy. Foodstuffs can be drawn out of storage and sold by legal action which the department of justice will institute wherever necessary, but soon as the situation is systematically dealt with it is not likely that the courts will often have to be resorted to. Much of the accumulating of stocks has no doubt as “But do, and there is should And can we once. that we no which always from tainty.

There is reason to believe that the prices of leather, of coal, of lumber, and of textiles have heen materially affected by forms of concert and co-operation among the producers and marketers of these and other universally necessary commodi- ties which it will be possible to re- dress. No or energetic ef- fort will be spared to accompiish this necessary result. I trust that there will not be many cases in which prosecution will be necessary. Public action will no doubt cause many who have perhaps unwittingly adopted il- legal methods to abandon them promptly and of their own motlon. “And publicity can accomplish a great deal. The purchaser can often take care of himself if he knows the facts and influences he is dealing with; and purchasers are not disin- clined to do anything, either singly or collectively, that may be neces- sary for their f-protection. The department of commerce, the depar ment of agriculture, the department of labor, and the federal trade com- mission can do a great deal towards supplying the public, systematically and at short intervals, with informa- tion regarding the actual supply of particular commodities that is in ex- istence and available, and with re- gard to supplies which are in existence but not available because of hoard- ing, and with regard to the methods of price fixing which are being used | by dealer in certain foodstuffs am\‘ other necessaries. There can be little | i hed which a prompt it watchful doubt that retailers are in par sometimes in large part—responsible for exorbitant prices; and it is quite | practicable for the government, | through the agencies 1 have men- tioned, to supply the public with full information as to the prices at which | retailers buy and as to the costs of transportation they pay, in order that it may be known just what mar- gin of profit they are demanding. Opinion and concerted action on the part of purchasers can probably do the rest. Up to Congress. these agencies may indispensable service congress will supply i necessary funds (o prose- | cute their inquiries and keep their ! price lists up to date. Hitherto the | appropriation committee of the houses have not always, I fear, seen the full value of these inquiries and the de- partments and commissions have been very much straitened for means to render this service. That adequate funds be provided by appropriation this purpose, and provided as promptly as possible, is one of the means of greatly ameliorating the | present distressing conditions of live- | “That is, form this vided the with the pe pro- them lihood that I have come to urge, in | this attempt to concert with. you the | best ways to serve the country in | this emergency. It is one of the ab- | solutely necessary means, underlying | many others, and can be supplied at | once. | “There are many other ways. Fx- | isting law is inadequate. There are | many perfectly legitimate methods by | which the government can exercise restraint and guidance Provisions Against Hoarding. “Let me urge, in the first place, | that the present food control act| should be extended both as to the pe- riod of time during which it shall ap- ply. Its provisions against hoarding sheuld be made to apply not only to food but also to foodstuffs, to fuel, to| clothing and to many other commodi- | ties which are indisputably necessaries | of life. As it stands now it is limited | in operation to the period of the war | and becomes inoperative upon the for- mal proclamation of peace. But I| should judge that it was clearly with- | in the constitutional power of the con- i | | gress to make similar permanent pro- visions and regulations with regard to all goods destined for interstate com- merce and to exclude them frominter- state shipment if the requirements of the law are not complied with. Some | ich regulation is imperatively neces- | sary. The abuses that have grown up | in the manipulation of prices by the| withholding of foodstuffs and othgr | necessaries of life cannot otherwise be effectively prevented. There can be; no doubt either of the necessity or the, legitimacy of such measures. May I, not call attention tathe fact, also, that, although the present act prohibits| profiteering, the prohibition is accom- panied by no penalty. Tt is clearly in the public interest that a penalty | should be provided which will be per- suasive i “Ta the same end, T earnestly ommend. in the second place. that cold | age as it is regulated, for example rec the laws of the state of New Jer-' sey, which limit the time during which goods may be kept in storage, pre-| scribe the methods of disposing of them if kept bevond the permitted pe- riod, and recuire that goods from storage shall in all cases bear the , date of their receipt. It would mater- | the | | | released ially add to the serviceability of law, for the purpose we now have in view, if it were also prescribed thut all goads released from siorage for in- terstate shipment should have plainiy | marked upon each pickage the selling | or market price at which they went| into storag By this means. the pur- | chase~ would always be able to learn! what profits stood between hint and | the producer or the wholesale déaler. | Would Have Prices Marked. | “Tt wauld serve as a useful example | Lo the other communities of t.he,coun-l | also seek try, as well as greatly relieve local dis- tress if the congress were to regulatc all such matters very fully for the Dis- trict of Columbia, where its legislative authority without limit “I wauld also recommend that it be is required that all goods destined foi | interstate commerce should in every case where their form or package makes it possible he plainly marked Wwith the price at which they left th hands of the producer. Such a r quirement would bear a close an ogy to certain provisions of the pure food act, by which it is required that cer- tain detailed information be given on the labels packages of foods and drugs. “And we measures of it does not seem to me that of this kind, if it is indeed our purpose to assume national con- trol of the processes of distribution. 1 take it for granted that that is our | purpose and will suffice. handle a tional way. our duty.

We should farmulate a law requiring federal license of all corporations en- gaged in interstate commerce and em- a bodying in the license, or in the con- ditions under which it is to be issued specific regulations designed to se- cure competitive selling and uncanscionable profits in the method of marketing. Such a law would af ford a welcome opportunity to effect other much-needed reforms in the business of interstate shipment and in the methods of corporations which are engaged in it; but for the moment I confine my recommendations to the object immediately in hand, which to lower the cost of living Must Stop Speculation. May I not add that there is a bill now pending the congress which, if passe would do much to stop speculation and to prevent the fraudulent methods of promotion by which our people are annually fleeced of many millions of hard- earned money. 1 refer to the meas- ure proposed by the capital issues committee for the control of security It is a measure formulated who know the actual condi- business and its adoption a great and beneficent prevent before issues. by men tions of would serve purpose. “We are dealing, gentlemen of ‘he congress, I need hardly say, with very critical and very diflicult matters.
