C, May 4. —That there can be no normality in production until the world is at peace is asserted in a letter Bernard M. Baruch, former chairman of the War Industries Board, lia? sent to Senator McNary, chairman of the special senate sub-committee investigating conditions in the sugar and shoe industry. Mr. Baruch, a business man of wide experience, an economist and student of conditions in this . country and abroad says in the light of his experience as chairman of the War Industries Board that peacetime supervision and regulation of the shoe and other industries by the government may be necessary. He discusses at length prevailing high prices, and shows that they are partly due to fear of a shortage reduced production and tlie extreme extravagence of the people. Mr. Baruch shows how high prices are inevitably linked with the prevailing conditions in the world. Since this country is still technically at war with Germany because of the refusal of the senate to ratify the peace treaty, the observations of the former chairman of the War Industries Board are pertinent to conditions at home and abroad.

In bis letter to Senator McNary, Mr. Baruch says in part: ‘I do not see how normality in production or distribution can come until the world is at peace. And it must be a firmly established peace. Hundreds of thousands of men are still in arms in Europe, facing one another across boundaries that should have been determined long ago. They dare not drop their arms and return to production for fear they will be overrun by their neighbors. There will be no peace until this Is ended, no return to normality and production. Think of how much beet sugar could have been produced in Germany. Poland and Rus* sia, how many shoes they could havg made, how much coal they could have dug. how much clothing they could have made, how mumch hope and optimism '‘ould, bf, t to the world instead of the., pessimism and fears which come from destruction. “The problems you have in hand is, what can be done to reduce the high cost of shoes and clothing? The onlv thing legal I know that can be helpful, is to remove any illegal barriers which make for a restricted distribution of foods and clothing, and the prevention of propaganda and advertisements which falsely state the scarcity of or impossibility of obtaining these things. The people have become so alarmed by what I think are unreliable statements. that they have been willing to pay any price. I believe now that the continuity of the thought of scarcity has been broken. Another helpful thing would be to get our people to conserve and wear for a longer time their shoes and clothing. The overall movement would be valuable. It will teach people not to be afraid of wearing clothing and shoes that are somewhat worn, frayed pr patched. Old. patched clothes are evidences of courage and self-esteem. If people would use their shoes and clothing for ten or twenty per cent.-more, ft would practically increase the production by ten or twenty per cent. Unfortunately, there are people who cannot extend the usage ,of appaYel because their limited means hfive already torced diem to the limit. It is the people of better means who should make the effort and set an example for economy and seif-control. It is unfortunate that the spirit of sacrifice and selfdenial so prominent during the war. is not more in evidence now. During the war. when we fixed the prices of materials, we also limited tS* uses to which they could he put, I do not know whether the people of the coun-l

One of the big ones. i Starting Friday!— With the dosing of “The Black Secret.” a new serial will start. “Tilt Mystery' of 13,” featuring Francis Ford. Get in on this one.

'try would be ready to support a program of that kind. “In my opinion, the situation is now correcting itself. It is unfortunate that we had to go through the cruel rise in prices, much of which, it seems to me. has been unnecessary. After all, the law of supply and demand works all these problems out. Hut the difficulty with that law, like the law of the survival of the fittest, it that It works terrific hardships upon tlie weak, and upon those who cannot protect themselves. It is the duty of the state to protect tlie weak, and upon those who cannot protect themselves, it is the duty of the state to protect the weak elements in it. If one fixes a price, one has to limit the demand. But it is a curious thing that there seems to lie food and clothing enough I for all. Yet the whole community is bidding one against the other for the J available supply. —— WANTS THE CATS ■ '■ •*" For a day or two the faculty at | ■tlie Central school building has been advertising for a couple of black cats to be used in their play at the Gym Thursday. There has been no re sponse to the ad, and they are blaming this paper. Os course we imagine you think this ad is a joke. But Mr. Brown really wants the cats. Now it there is anyone in Decatur who de-1 sires to give up a cat or two, just take it to the Central building artd; turn them loose. Here's hoping they | get a car load.
