THE PUBLIC DIP IT
The lowering of prices in the
Ntates. which is now in progress,
furnished ample proof that the
public is about as much to blame
t'or high prices as the men who
■charged them. So long as the public
continued to pay high prices there
was not a chance to lower the cost
of living. Wage earners were too
busy campaigning for increased pay
to give thought to concerted action
against high prices, and the result
was a steady advance in living
costs with only an occasional ad
vance in wages. And so it went un
til the great American public be
came thoroughly aroused and re
fused longer to buy at fancy prices.
Housewives combined in a variety of
crusades against profiteering and
men followed with overall and ther
anti-high-price clubs with the result
that eventually the backbone of the
high price era was broken. Hug?
profits meant nothing the manu
facturers and retailers of goods re
mained unsold, and the answer is
found now in a general downward
revision of selling prices. There is
a limit to price gouging just as
there is a limit to everything else
and the public has a weapon of de
fense which not even .the mightiest
trust can withstand. When the pub
lic stops buying, profiteering stops
automatically.
And in the general revision of
things, in the light of events of the
past few years, it will be a difficult
matter for employers of labor to
prove that they cannot cell goods
at a reasonable margin of profit
and continue to- pay goo* wages.
They will try to prove it, and some
of them will get away, with the argu
ment by suspending operations an
til their employes are ready to
resume work at any wages offered
them. But in the main labor will
not give in without a ctruggle and
J labor can win if it will stand to
| gether. The profiteering class has
j had its inning. It is now time for
1 the workers and the public generally
to get what is coming to them.

EUROPEAN ENVY
i _
i The American system of athletic
| training which culminated in many
American victories at the Antwerp
Olympic games is now being sub
jected, throughout Europe, to a
.great deal of criticism, favorable
and unfavorable, says an Associated
Press correspondent writing from
Antwerp..
While, as an example, there are
some members of the Dutch Olym
pic committee who consider Hol
land should adopt American methods
in its universities and athletic clubs,
others aharge that such long inten
sive training makes the athletes
professional amateurs.
At a recent meeting of the com
mittee one speaker went so far as
to question the amateur standing
of the American navy crew which
won the Olympic eight regatta. He
said that these future American
navy officers had done nothing dur
ing their Annapolis four years but
row. Europeans find it very difficult
to understand that American uni
versity men can devote so much
time to sports and still find time for
- .udy .
The League of Nations should
not stop at Armenia if an interna
tional army is organized to put a
stop to hostilities. Dispatches from
Ireland would seem to indicate that
there is need there also for league
intervention.
Alex Kalisoff, canyon contractor,
left for Fairbanks today on a
several-day outing, it being his in
tention to spend Thanksgiving in
the upper town.
