VOL. LXI—NO. 189 PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS HIGH “NOT JUSTIFIED BY SHORT Tells Congress They are Created In Many Cases “Artificially and Deliberately” By “Viscious Practices”—Retailers Re- sponsible In Large Part For Extortionate Prices—Wage. Increases More Than Offset By Added Cost—Particu- larly Mentions Leather, Coal, Lumber and Textiles— Will Be No Peace Prices So Long As the Whole Finan- cial and Economic System Is On a War Basis—Suggests | That Legal Remedies That Are Lacking Be Supplied— Says Hoarding of Foodstuffs Can Be Checked and Pre-| vented—Greater Supply of Foods In Dry and Cold Stor-| age Than at This Date Last Year—Strikes Increase the Hardship.

Politically, economically, _socially, the world is on the operating -table, and it has not been possible to admin- ister any anacsthetic. It is conscious. It even satches the capital operation upon which it knows that its hope of healthful life depends. It cannot think its busines sout or make plans or give intelligent and_provident direction, to its affairs while in such a case. Where there is no peace of mind there can be no energy in endeavor. Country Lacks Confidence. There can be no confidence in in- dustry, no-calculable basis for credits, no confident buying or systematic sel ing, no certain prospect of employ Abundance in Cold Storage. In the combined ‘total of a number of the most important foods in dry| and cold: storage the excess is quite nineteen per cent. And yet: prices have risen.

Wage Increases Overcome. With the increasc in the prices of the necessaries of life come demands for _increases in wages—demands which are justified if there be no other means of enabling men to live. Upon e increase of wages there follows clése an increase in the price of the products whi producers have been accorded the increase—not a propor- tionate increase. for the manufacturer TaNter o8 gains and the losses.

These are facts and forces with which we have become only too famil- jar: but we are not justified because of our familiarity with them. or be- cause of any hasty and shallow con- Clusion that they are “natural” and inevitable, in sitting inactively by and jetting them work their fatal results if there is anythng that we can do to check, correct or reverse them. I have Sought this opportunity to inform the comgress what the executive is doing by way of remedy and control, and to suggest where effective legal remedies are lacking and may be supplied. Peace Only Complete Remedy. We must, I think, frankly admit that there is no complete immediate rem- edy to be had from legislation and ex- ccutive action. The free processes of cupply and demand will not operate of ‘hemselves and no lexislative or ex- ecutive action can force them into full and natural operation until there is peace. There is now neither peace nor War. All the world is waiting—with What unnerving fears and haunting doubts who can adequately say?— waiting to know when it Comes—a peace in which each nation shall make Shift for itself as it can. or a peace buttressed and supported by the will and concert of the nations that have E P = TR T S R power, within certain limits, to reg- ulate that.
