PRICES THAT CAN'T HOLD
Much foolish talk is being in
dulged la by those who be
lieve that the war ia Europe will
result in famine prices for food
staples ia this country and keep
the markets at almost unprecedent
ed levels lor many months if not
for years. A good deal of it is the
honest result of complete misun
derstanding of industrial and trade
conditions, as affected by the tre
mendous struggle in Europe.
Men ask who .will reap and
thresh 1,000,000,000 bushels of
wheat jrhich they say will soon be
ripe ia Europe, in countries at
war. T'aey talk as U the harvests
would all be lost because millions
of mon have been called to arms.
■Is it not known f,hat nearly 3,
000,000 of the men ia the armies
of the countries at war were doing
nothing but serving as soldiers be
fore the first sign of the great con
flict began? Half of the forces in
thq field are the standing armies
of tie belligerent powers. In Rus
sia, the greatest wheat-growing
and wheat exporting country of
Europe, the regular peace army
will not be more thaa doubled at
any time.
This means that not over 3 P" i
cent or the mea In the Russian I
Empire >'ho were following peace
ful vocations before the war will
be taken away from the industrial
army and turned into soldiers. The
proportion may not exceed 2 per
cent—one man in fifty. Does any
ouq doubt that such a difference
can be made up easily by longer
hours, more steady labor and more
help from strong women and boys,
all accustomed to hard manual
toll?
Take France, the great nation
which will be most heavily bur
dened by the withdrawal of men
from the Industries of peuce for
service in the army, because the
proportion of able-bodied men re
quired to put the forces of France
on a full war footing is larger than
it la In any otheT country of the
first rank. Under extreme pres
sure France may be able to put
4,000,000 soldiers under arms.
That is an outside estimate, and
there are fully 14,000,000 nen in
France and boys big enough (from
sixteen years of age upward) to
do the work of men. Will not the
10,00,000 left after the heaviest
possible demands of the army have
been met, save the crops?
In France, as in all other Eu
ropean countries where great food
crops are grown, the women of
the rural population are accus
tomed to much .heavy work in the
fields and vineyards. They will do
more than tbeir customary share
of it now, and they will make good
whatever lack of men there may be
to take care of the wheat and other
aBM.
Some industries prostrated or
greatly curtailed by the war will
turn upon the labor market multi
tudes of men who can be employed
where the need is urgent. The
supply in every country at war
may be quite equal to the demand.
Present prices and prices talked
of for food staples are largely the
result of fears which will never be
realized. They aro the outgrowth
of a state of mind which ia natural
enough but it is founded on noth
ing whatever to indicate famine
conditions in the great foodstuffs
markets of the Old World, much
less in. the United states, or to jus
tify extreme prices for more than
a few weeks, at most—Cleveland
Leader,
Tfiose of us who prefer not to
attend the theater of war
should not, perhaps, assume to |
criticize the dramatic critics.
Returning tourists who are]
ready to cheer everything Ameri
can can scarcely be expected to
Include the war prices.
Every man. In Mexico, wo take
It, keeps a supply of provisional
president's regalia constantly on
hand.
Believers iu the law of supply
and demand will be granted three
minutes in which, to explain how
war happened tp repeal it.
The reformed train robber who
wanted to be governor of Oklaho
ma now wants to be a war cor
respondent. He migkt try the
Chautauqua next.
In the ease of the Gorman war
vessel blown UP by a German con
tact mine may be found a close
parallel to the fate of those New
York I. W. W.'B.
The Kaiser's invitation to his
soldiers to dine with him iu Par'*
has not, *s yet. been made SooJ
even to the extent of a Dutch
lunch.
Sarah BermhaTdt says it's a holy
war because it's the last one. sort
of, as the saying goes, a farewell
appearance.
The garment designers may
make it a "white winter"' in this
county, but It is pobabl© that
black will bo extensively worn in
Europe.
