HIGH PRICES
ARE NOW DUE
FOR BIG DROP
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 6 (by As
sociated Press).—The Harvard com
mittee on economic research, ap
pointed by Harvard University to
make special studies of economic con
ditions, has just announced that the
United States may expect a check in
the upward prices and of business
activity which has been in progress
since last April, and perhaps a drop
in prices. At the present time, how
ever, the committee states, and on
the basis of the November and De
cember figures, it would be premature
to conclude that a violent recession
in commodity prices is .probable.
The committee was appointed by
Harvard University in 1917 to assist
in the solution of the fundamental
economic problems which underlie
modern commerce and finance. It pro
vides statistical information to fed
eral reserve banks, for banking houses
and large corporations, and includes
among its publications a review of
economic statistics which contains a
price forecaster.
The committee bases its present
forecast upon statistical material rep
resenting the decline in the New York
bank clearings, the volume of sales
on the New York Stock Exchange, the
prices of industrial stocks, and analy
sis of the banking and trade situation,
domestic and foreign.
QUESTIONNAIRES SENT
TO EX - SERVICE MEN
FOR HISTORICAL BOOK
“The object of the present drive for
listing service men”, said G. F. Kram
er, secretary to the Governor, “ in
which the Governor’s office is asking
for aid of newspapers in Alaska, is
to get as complete a record as possi
ble of Alaskans who served in the war
for historical purposes.
“The name of every Alaskan who
enlisted in any place outside is want
ed. A large percentage of Alaskans
enlisted outside of the territory. We
know of one instance in which 40 men
at Nenana had their cards transferred
to the outside for enlistment. Fol
lowing the declaration of war and be
fore the draft boards were established,
,a large number of Alaskans also hur
ried to the outside and enlisted.
“Questionaires are being sent to all
of the newspaper offices in Alaska,
and can be had at the Governor’s
office, and every one should take in
terest and see that the Territory gets
a complete list of the service men.”
