KOVAR, Mfr., Auto Owners e it e e S WHO CONTROLS PRICES? Agricultural Prices, by Henry A. Wal< iace, Wallace Publishing Co., owa. Des Moines, 7| HE author of this book is in no sense a radical. He is, in fact, the editor of a conservative farm pa- per. But he has stud- ied his dquestion deeply enough to recognize the falsity of the hoary old lie that prices are controlled solely by the law of supply and de- mand. Mr. Wallace, upon analyzmg the situation, finds three main factors controlling the situation. One is the cost of production. This operates only over a long terms of years, he finds. Eventually a man who is losing money is forced out of -business. Of course a new loser may take his place and this process continue indefinitely. Another f-ctor is the law of supply and demar 1. But a third factor; even more important, is the question of “strategic considerations.” In other words, moneyed speculators, by sell- mg what Mr. Townley calls “lmag- inary wheat” day after day at a price lower than is justified by either the cost of production or the supply and demand, may keep the price so low that thousands of farmers are forced out of business. Or the big packers, by their control of railroad facilities, may flood a given market with live- stock at a certain time, forcmg the price down several cents, in spite of a world-wide shortage of meat. / . Mr. Wallace’s book discusses con- ditions that influence prices and goes on to suggest how farmers may possi- bly, some time in the :future, have - something to say-about the prices at which their products are sold. How is this to be done? Mr. Wallace says: “This involves close-knit organiza- tions of both farmers and laborers un- der the leadership of men well educa-~ ted in general econochs, in strategic bargaining and in production.”” And at another point: : “If farmers as a class are to secure cost of production for their hogs, month after month and year after year, they must organize into power-. ful associations to do busmess co-0p- eratively,” This book is partlcularly interesting because of the statistical tables, illus- trating price fluctuatlons, and because of the insight it gives into the present manipulations of the market agamst the producer and’ consumer. It is a stronger indictment because the au- thor admits in his introductory para- | graphs that he is by no means an en- emy of the present system, though t evidence that he gives condemns' i utterly. VRS HOW IT HAPPENED The Peace Conference Day by Day, by Charles T. 'I‘hompson, published by Bren- tano’s, New York. From the standpoint of the reader who likes to be presented with facts and then to draw his own conclusionsy this book is one of the most important of the many surveys of the peace treaty. Here-is no searchmg ana]y51s, -such as Mr. Keynes gives in “The Economic Consequences of the Peace.” Here is instead a day-by-day chronicle of what actually happened from the time President Wilson arrived in France, December 13, 1918, acclaimed as the savior of humanity, come to rescue Kurope and install a peace based on the 14 points, until the'day, six months later, when the president left again, his 14 points lost, one by one, and himself forgotten by the pub- lic fayor that had turned to mew heroes. i Pt g . fair one. PAGE FOURTEEN Mr. Thompson writes a readable, human narrative of what happened. AProbably both the friends and ene- “mies-of President Wilson would agree that the account of proceedings is a It is backed up by copious extracts of actual dialogue between ‘Wilson, Lloyd George, Clemenceau and ’Sonnino, “the big four”” These tell, more than pages of description, the character of the principal actors in the great world drama. Besides the offi- cial proceedings there is enough of the humorous and bizarre in Mr. Thomp- son’s motes to supply a rich human background. While President Wilson ~still has his' habitual air of tempered reserve at the end of the book, the reader feels that he has grown to know Colonel House very well. All in all it is a pook that should be read in connection with any detailed study of the peace treaty or the league of na- -tions covenant, if the student of the treaty and the covenant really wants to know how some of the otherwise un- explainable provisions ‘came - to be made. N FOR LEAGUE MEETINGS The Donkey, the Elephnnt and the Goat, a pamphlet by J. P..Buschlen, Box 1625, Great Falls, Mont., pubhshed by the author. Mr. Buschlen has written a little one-act, humorous play for Le meetings and entertainments, in which the characters are ‘animals represent- ing the two old parties and the Non- “partisan league. : The ‘latter is the goat, an animal that has been “wish- ed” on the League as its “emblem” by some of its fmgnds, and occasionally by some of its enemies. Mr. Buschlen has the donkey and the elephant chide Teach' other and quarrel ‘mildly over their respective accomplishments, with the goat “butting in” every now and then with funny comment or sarcasm. In the end the elephant and donkey forget their little quarrel, agree that the goat is an uncultured and untutor- ed animal, and leave the stage to him. The “play” is in simple rhyme and the .author believes it will be valuable to circulate for political purposes, or to help out entertainment - committees getting up programs for farmers lPeetmgs\and picnics.

Dutton & Co., New or] A good reference book for names, dates and election figures in connec- tion with the various presidential cam- paigns since the adoption of the Con- stitution, with thumb-nail sketches of the parties and candidates.” Probably as ‘accurate a summary as could be gotten out in 32 pages, but hard'ly fair in the impression it gives of some o the candidates and parties, notably Jefferson - and the - Populist party. Neatly gotten out in stiff paper covers |+ and valuable for quick reference in a presidential election year, HELP BUILD A LIBRARY Editor Nonpartisan TLeader: Are there ‘any readers of the Nonpartisan - Leader that have some surplus books that you would like to place in a com- munity and school library?
