WEDNESDAY, SEINEM HER :?, 1010 SOME lt EA I j SENSIBLE TALK. ll is a most favorable sign that people are beginning to talk some thing besides that twaddle that would lead people to believe that present high levels in prices will and must, for tho good of tin? country, be maintained, or even elevated fur ther. Snell talk seems lo us to he the very height of folly. Not a busi ness niau who does not realize Dial presen I conditions aro brought about by abnormal activities, hy unrest on I (he part of the people und by u ten dency on the part of both labor and i capital to "prolltuor," which is nothing inore ol' less ti.?u taking udvnnlnge ol tho needs und nuces-' sities of lile genera! public IO squeeze from Hie meal mass of the people Illegitimate and unreasonable profits. This in its last analysis is, nothing Hill :i polite form ol' robbery , - theft, which, due to abnormal con- | dillons and abnormal thinking, and i a lowering Of tho moral standards, j is winked aj, and tho guilty parties, regarded as still within Ibo sphere of decent society. Economy, l bri fl, saving are Ibo I h ree fundamental factors thal are. we believe, lo become lllO basis of a rejurn to normal conditions to a stable equalization of the things Ilia! euler into tho great scheme of commerce on ilie one band and com fortable living and peace of mind on thu oilier. In a dispatch of recent daii> Secretary l?htss is reported as paving Ibo way for the general public to regain it:, tooting, and that is li' utilizing those things at hand, old though they may be. out of date perhaps, ont of style certainly, but comfortable and costless, which is more to the point. The "patched I rousers'-' referred to may bo taken as bul a symbol, for lhere are li un c? rods of things thal may ho used with offed equally as beneficial in waging war for economy and against the profiteer. Wo quote from the dispatch referred lo: "A combination of a llve-year-old palm beach snit and a shirt of equal ugo are the two new cudgels which Secretary (?lass intends to use on the hard-headed profiteer and to wield against Germany in her efforts to crawl successfully back to a domi nant place in the commercial world. "I am simply putting into prac tice." he said, "the suggestion of my distinguished predecessor. Mr. McAdoo, who declared in one of the Liberty Loan campaigns that we .should uso overy effort to win the war, even though we wore patched trousers. Mine are not patched, but they are old enough to be. I ex pect to wear this stilt Ave years longer if they will stand lt." The most practical, common-sense statement we have seen, however, comos from Now York State, and is found in press dispatches of Septem ber 1st. If labor will but adopt this sane idea it will at. once have paved Hie way for a bettering of con ditions generally and JMI early Btu? blh'.iir; of business and economic relations. We quote: "Suspension of all strikes through out the United States and Ibo de claration of . a labor truce on the basis of tho status quo for six months or more, to enable Presi dent Wilson 10 hiing about a re duction in the cost of living, is rec ommended in a report of a commit tee of the New York stale Ked o ra don of Labor, made public here to day. "Tho recommendations .tige Amerlc.in organized labor lo cease I wngo a':d hour controversies "Ju order to increase p-oduction ard re store normal cor.''.'lions. They e*: press the hope thal no new strike.) v ill be ordere' except to relieve workers from intolerable oppression. .The committee wis appointe t by .lames I. Cowland, president of tho foi1.oration, on July 20, and made its roper' after conferring with re pr?senla Ives of industrial, comntor e'nl mun-.1 inducers, linancial, trans portation md other Interests, with a view lo devisin:; plans lo lower llo cos! of living, "Hilliness ni vi. it explained, were in a state of apprehension due to rapidly changing conditions since the signing of tho armistice, and in dustry had been disturbed and dis located lo a degree never before ex perienced. "'Your committee is convinced' says the report, 'thal this condition is wrong and cannot bo permitted to continue unless wo- and by we' your committee means not labor alone, but the people of tho whole lin I ted States wish to invite a dis aster unparalleled in his'ory. The people must be given a breathing spell. There must be a suspension of struggling for class and party ad vantage. All Americans must bend their bucks to tho oars and pull steadily against tho storm-tossea waters until our boat again rides safely on tho placid sea of prosperi ty.'
