U. S. Interference in Wages, Prices Hit
Babson Scores Artificial Living Cost Hikes
(By ROGER W. BABSON)
BABSON PARK. Mass., Sept. 11,.

—People in the East are being it's so; but it is so." As loi
criticised for taking automobiles farmers prefer to buy giyMlinc.
prices, they must pay more for, coffee, raw sugar, salmon and
out on Sunday and for driving
evenings unless necessary. Secre-
tary Ickes says “they are trying
to live as usual and do business
as usual notwithstanding the
great conflict going on in the
world today." This is also said
of the manufacturers of various
household and other appliances
which use jmtal.
Business As Canal?
It is very important for all of
us that the war should be as
short as possible. The only way
to shorten it !s to intensify our
production. This means that we
must pot follow the “business as
usual” jKffley, but must make sac-
rifices where necessary. But this
also should mean an end of “labor
as usual” and “farming as usual.”
The attitude of the government in
applying the same rule to all
groups is unjust to consumers.
[•“priority" Which our farm-
ers aud laborers seem to enjoy is
the chief reason for the division
among our people. Employers
cheerfully accept burdening tax-
ation, control over instalment
credits, disheartening priorities,
and the thousands of regulations
which th® receive Jjom Wash-
ington and OttiBO* But to see

demand . “more representation in
government and less interference
with farm prices,” while food
prices are increasing every week,
things are going too far. This is
especially true when the govern-
ment “interference,” both in the
f ease of wage-workers aad fann-
ers, has been to raise both Wages
and farm prices ABOVE what
they would naturally be if al-
lowed to seek their own level.

instead of to raise oatof there
can be no parity of prices.
It is wrong for the labor lead-
ers to fool the workmen—and
wrong for the politicians to fool
the farmers as they are now do-
ing. Passing laws will not make
two plus two equal rive; nor make
water run uphill. The correct so-
lution for our economic troubles
lies with greater production, in-
creased demand and lower prices.
Government Interference
The government’ is guilty of
raising food prie# in at least
three ways: (1) It has been buy-
ing food and shipping it out of;
the country at the rate of $2,000.-
000 per day—covering TO differ-
ent productt-atSt* increasing oe-
mand. <21 It has pegged the price
of nine food products it relative-
ly high levels by announcing that
it will buy all of them offered,
(3) It jacked up wheat and corn
prices by the policy forced on the
administration by the farm bloc,
of accepting these crops as col-
lateral for loans at prices equal
to 85 per cent of “parity”
"Parity prices” for farm crops
which will enable the farmer to
buy "AS MUCH OF THE SAME
THINGS” as he did in 1909-14 is
perfectly feasible. But remember
that in those years fanners
bought no radios, no electric re-
frigerators, and had only one car
or truck. The trouble today is
that no farmer is satisfied With
true parity. The whole parity

ernment, however, has establish-
ed,—an unheard of and crasy
thing _ MINIMUM wholesale
prices for hogs, dairy products,
chickens, e£gs, romatoiS, peas,
apricots, raisins, and prunes. In
addition, the government Itself

as a Warning to Italy that it

He sees In it other benefits

Pot one thing, he pointed out,
