PRICE REDUCTION MORE NEEDED THAN Q PROTECTED MARKET PARIS, Aug. 20. Congressman

Oscar E. Bland of Indiana, a member of the war expenditures investigating committee, which is here examining records pertaining to the liquidation of the affairs of the American army in France said today that he felt it was more important to lower the cost of living for the American people than to endeavor to protect market prices and prevent the market from breaking. Mr. Eland said the pressure brought to bear by American dealers and manufacturers in an effort to prevent the retunr to war supplies from France to America were objectional to him adding that "when Americans so badly need shoes it seems strange that so many good army shoes should be sold a tlow prices to Belgium and other European countries, American working men in the meantime being forced to pay higher prices In the United States. He said the same was true as to trucks and motor cars needed in America. Until he known thn full dotolla !of the liquidation of American army affairs here Mr. Bland said it would be unwise to criticise too sharply, as it would probably be necessary to sell some supplies which America would like to have but which could not be returned to the United States.
