IMPORTS AND EXPORTS

1917 issued by the United States cus
toms service. The total trade of the
year, valued at $141,125,462, includes a
growing variety of mineral and soil

volume of tonnage and trade handled

of the preceding years, owing to labor
troubles and lack of water for placer
mining in the Interior, etc., the value
is greater. For instance, the value of
imports was $44,431,600, compared
with $35,314,933 for 1916, and the value

TURKISH ORGANIZATION
WHICH FAVORS ALLIES:
(By Associated Press)
BERNE, Switzerland, Feb. 14.—
Kemal Midhat Bey, grandson of the
fomer Turkish Grand Vizier Midhat
Pasha, is in Switzerland organizing a
society known at the "Turkish League 1
of Peace and Liberty,” the objects of
which are stated as follows:
“Tto persuade the Turkish govern
ment to make a separate peace; to
unite and reconcile the various nation
alities which make up the Ottoman
empire; and to modernize Turkey.”
In a statement to the press, Kemal
says: “Turkey has reached the end of
its tether. The capture of Jerusalem
has probably proved the finishing
blow. My latest reports from Con
stantinople emphasize the tremendous
impression made by the capture of
Jerusalem. The ‘stop the war’ move !
in Constantinople derives its principal |
impetus from the economic miseries
of the people rather than from any
dismay at the dwindling of Turiksh
power and prestige. The terrible con
ditions of the poorer classes cannot
easily be exaggerated.
‘‘The disorganization of the army is
another factor. The number of Tur
kish deserters in Asia Minor is now
over 200.000. The Turk deserts not
because he is afraid, but because his
eyes have been opened to the real
origin of the war and the futility of
continuing it. The aim of our organiza
tion is not merely to get Turkey away
from alliance with the Germans, but
to get Turkey into the war on the side
of the entente.”
REGULATION OF PRICES
AS OPERATIVE IN ENGLAND
LONDON, Jan. 12. ^Correspondence :
of the Associated Press)—Regulation
of prices and limitations of profits to!
be obtained by producers of necessi-j
ties have developed during the war to |
an extent probably never before known j
in the Britis hempire. Restrictions on;
prices and profits have been extended I
to many kinds of supplies required by |
the people or for government use in!
the prosecution of the war.
Among the necessities most vitally
concerned are food, fuel, munitions
and shipping. To what extent these
have passed under government regula
tion is shown in a report submitted
to the house of commons by its com
mittee on expenditures.
The price of coal has been regulated
at the pit mouth, while the profit that
may be made by wholesale and retail
merchants is strictly prescribed.
Ninety per cent of the British mer
chant shipping has been requisitioned
at varying rates per ton, based on the
market rates current in 1914 None
requisitioned ships are running “on
government account’’ at a narrow mar
gin of profit.
In the building of standard ships,
the basis of the contract is cost plus a
percentage varying between ten and
twenty per cent.
The ministry of munitions has at
tempted to fix “the lowest possible
prices consistent with a reasonable re
turn to the contractor and with due
regard to the urgency of supply."
Roughly, the maximum profit consider
ed reasonable for a main-contractor is
10 per cent, or 2% per cent for super
vision of sub-contracted work. As the
demand for munitions exceeds the sup
ply, competitive bidding for contracts
has stopped. Prices are based upon
Investigation of actual costs at con
tractors’ work, checked by the costs
charges at national-owned factories in
the same line of production.
