11 Kill COSTS.
One of the biggest a,nd certain
ly one of the most impressive im
mediate results of the declaration
of war against Germany b? the
fnited States, will be the intensifi
cation of the higher costs of living.
They will still more highly aviate.
While President Wilson's message
to Congress in advising "co-opera- !
tion in council and action’ with the j
Entente Powers, indicates that he I
had a view the sending of troops to!
Europe, it is as yet a by no means
settled matter. So the main first j
result, ot this declaration ol war wilt
he the protection of shipping in the
Atlantic "lanes” so that the C boat
attacks may be reduced to a mini
mum.
The only thing that that lias kept
soaring costs within the vision ot
our strained eyes lias been the diffi
i ulty in moving supplies to Europe.
The divers have had the result of
reducing tonnage a nr, compelling
those who iiad tonnage to risk it
only for tremendous profits. This
resulted in stocks being congested,
held back, and perishables being
disposed of 'I he price kept within
reasonable bounds as far as might
lie on this account.
Accordingly when the American
navy is used to protect shipping
and affords the steamers more or
less immunity from attack, supplies
will leave the Cnited States moVe
freely to Europe anil the supply
here will diminish accordingly.
When the supply diminishes In re
lation to the demand, the price in
• eiids: that is an invariable rule.
Another thing that ought to make
people feel good is the tact that
money Is to he loaned the Entente
\llies. That money will come hack
Imre and will buy the supplies which
;,!•( needed, but upon which ?
threatened credit had been reluctant
la spend a diminishing gold supply
This wlil in turn place these millions
it* C' > uipct it ion with tin* purchasing
j,(i,.‘cr of the American consuming
, folk, and lilt result w ill be that be
l wi en them, the out prepared to pay
Ihc highest price gels the i >od, the
clothing and the other needs.
All these things are inevitable
and there art only two ways where
liv such a condition can be pre
vented doing a hardship to the poor
er masses who in this war as in
peace will he the goats. That these
two ways will present themselves
to the consideration of the law
givers may he or may tit- not cor
rect.
The worker buys his grub front
his wages When the grub goes up,
liis wages must also go up or lie
goes without. So when prices be
gin soaring out of sight the on 1;
way that the worker can overtake
them is by his wages being in
creased in exact proportion. Thai
has never yet been done. What has
been done is that the wags went up
a little while prices of other commo
dities than labor, went up a whole
lot. Besides, it is uot likely that
wages will be regulated by Con
gress. because when wages are set
up by artificial schedules, the
prices immediately rise to meet that
increase and the result is that we
get "no forrader".
The other way of overcoming the
difficulty is by the government tak
ing charge of the food and clothing
uuestfon completely, and Seeing
that everyone in the country had
enough to eat. The propriety of
seeing the American people led
themselves before those of other na
tions front the supplies produced in
America by American residents
would seem to suggest itself readi
ly enough and doubtless would be
agreed to as Just the thing were it
not for the fact, that a few or the
good people of America have been,
are and Will continue making pro
tits from the procedure of sellfng
what Americans need to other na
tions which also need.
It is a much more easily permitt
ed condition that many should go
short than that any business should
have its profits curtailed. At
least it would appear so from the
general anxiety to say nothing and
do nothing upon this high costs ot
living proposition.
Moreover while~the army and navy
plans are heralded throughout the
country in connection with the war,
it may be pointed out that this
question ot seeing that the workers
get enough to eat in the meanwhile
is no less an important question. It
is one that will insist upon being
heard in any event. It may be all
right for the officials to dally along
and make their great military and
naval preparations, but these pre
parations depend for their success
materially upon a well fed people
We have before us the prescribed
regimen of a British munition fac
tory hand. He lives well. He gets
four squares a day, although the
last meal is confined to cheese,
bread and butter, tea or beer. He
gets meat twice, eggs once each
day. He never lived so well before.
Formerly lie was lucky if he got a
meat ration three or four times a
week. Vet this grub is supplied
him at a cost of 50.7 cents a day
or a little over twelve cents a meal.
It could not be duplicated in New
York for a dollar—but practically
all of the grub came from the
I’nited States or If not from the
States from Australia or the Argen
tine. Why it happens is because
the feeding of the munition work
ers in Great Britain affects their
output. If they do not get their
food they will not turn out the work
and as they have not an unlimited
supply of labor they take care ot
what labor they have got.
In the United States the munition
factories need no such action. There
arc more than enough men for the
work. They are easy to hire. And
when any man gets backward he
gets fired regardless of whether or
not that backwardness was due to
his inability to keep up his speed
because of the fact that the high
costs . of living also reduced his
standard of living.
With an intensive industry every
where urged, the linroads upon the
available labor that could be inten
sively driven have been great. The
great reserve supply was afforded
by immigration and the next great
reserve came from the farms.
Both of these reserves are being
rapidly depleted and there have
sprung up complaints as to labor
shortage quite frequently of late
in eastern section. That is, the usual
excess of unemployed was so dimi
nished tint employers who used
that excess to drive those employed
are growing alarmed.
The experiences of all nations
at war have been directly that the
wars were fought just as much in
the industries as in the battlefield,
and while there are determined el
forts to prepare in a military and
naval way. the reluctance to do any
thing in an industrial way is strik
ing.
One would think that the national
necessity would have turned Con
gress at once to this problem ot
food costs. It is as important as
army and- navy organization ana
only because such a consideration
would run up against private profit
making will it lie the last thing con
sidered— maybe when too late to
avert disaster.
The German nation led the world
in its foresight in this war, and al
though it may have established a
military machine better than all
others, it took care thut within its
resources, the food of the nation
would he the' nation's first thought.
It is humiliating to think that the
profit of a few should he allowed'
to interfere with the settlement ot
this problem and the social organi
zation of the food supply In this
country. It is of paramount import
ance. ■ *
