Condemns Ship Owners.
The president declared there must

for the public. Ho expressed con
noe that business generally would

it the problem of wartime prices.

defeat," will be solved rightly
trough patriotic co-operation.
In unmeasured terms, however, Mr.
rilsoii condemned the ship owners of
be Country for maintaining a schedule

ilared "almost Insuperable obstacles I
the path of the government.
President's Call.
The president's statement follows:
"Thegovernment is nbout to attempt
) determine the prices at which It
rill ask you henceforth to furnish va
suppllex which are necessary for
[the prosecution of the war, and varl
loDs materials which will be needed In
p* Industries by which the war must
Ibe sustained. We shall, of course, try
[to determine them Justly and to the
best advantage of the nation as a
[Thole: but Jusifrp is easier to speak
of than to arrive nt, and there are
Isnmo considerations which I hope we
keep steadily In mind while this
(particular problem of Justice Is being
worked our.
Promises Just Price.
"Therefore I take the liberty of
statin? very candidly my own view of
the situation and of the principles
which should guide both the govern
m^nt nti<l the mine owners and mnn
ufacturers "f ihe country in this dif
ficult matter.
"A Just prico must, of cotirse, be
paid f'T everything the government
buys, By a just price I mean a price
which will sustain the, industries con
cernetl in a high state of efficiency,
provide a living for those who con
duct them, enable them to pay good
wajres. a ii'l make possible the ex
pansions of their enterprises which
will from time to time become neces
sary as itj,' stupendous undertakings
ot this great war develop.
Must Face the Facts.
"We < Dulc| nut wisely or reasonably
do lesv than pay such prices. They
are necessary for the maintenance
and development of industry, and the
maintenance and development of In
dustry are necessary for the great task
we have in hand.
"Ihii | trust that we shall not sur
round the matter with a mist of sen
timent. Facts are our masters now.
We ought not to put the acceptance
of such prices on the ground of patri
otism."
"Patriotism has nothing to do with
profits mi a case like this. Patriotism
and profits ought never in the present
circumstances -be mentioned together.
"It is perfectly proper to discuss
ru'oflt< iix a matter of business, with a
?lew to maintaining the integrity of
oapital and the efficiency of labor In
these tragical months, when the llb
Wy of free men everywhere and of
industry itself trembles in the bal
ance; hut It would be absurd to dis
cuss them as a motive for helping to
?ervp ami save our country.
"Patriotism leaves profits out of the
Question, in these days of onr* su
preme trial, when .we are sending bun-1
dml? of thousands of our young men
across the seas to serve a great cause,
uo true man who stays behind to
*ork for them and sustain them by
labor will ask himself what he is
personally going to make out of that
labor.
No true patriot will permit himself

. !ra' a''<' unusual profits In order to

"I tnke ft for granted thnt those
who argue thu^ do not $op to think
what thai men UK.
,4I>o they mean I hit ( you must ho i
paid, must bo bribed, to make your 1
contribution, a contribution that costs

when the whole world Is In travail and
men everywhere depend upon and rail !
to you to bring them out of bondage j
and make the world a lit place to live ;
In again, amidst peace and justice?
Appeals to Honor.
MI>o they mean that you will exact j
a price, drive a bargain, with the men j
who are enduring the agony of this |
war on the battlefields, In the trenches,
amidst the lurking dangers of the sea,
or with the bereaved women and piti
ful children, before you will come for
ward to do your duty and give some
part of your life, In easy, peaceful
fashion, for the things we are light
ing for, the things we have pledged
our fortunes, our lives, our sacred hon
or to vindicate and defend?liberty
and Justice and fair dealing and the j
peace of nations?
?Of course you will not. It Is in
conceivable. Your patriotism Is of the
same self-denying stuff as the pa
triotism of the men dead or maimed
on the fields of France, or else it Is
not patriotism at nil.
Full Dollar's Worth.
"Let us never speak, then, of profits
and of patriotism In the same sen
tence, but face facts and meet them.
Let us do sound business, hut not In
the midst of a mist.
"Many a grievous burden of taxa
tion will be laid on this nation, In this
generation and In the next, to pay for
this war; let us see to it that for
every dollar that Is taken from the
people's pockets It spall be possible to
obtain a dollar's worth of the sound
stuff they need.
"Let me turn for a moment to the
ship owners of the United States and
the other ocean carriers whose ex
ample they have followed, and ask
them If they reallr.e what obstacles,
what almost Insuperable obstncles.
they hnve been putting In the way of
the successful prosecution of this war
by the ocean freight rates they hnve
been exacting. ^
Making War a Failure.
"They are doing everything thnt
high freight charges can do to make
the wnr n failure, to make It Impos
sible.
"I do not sny thnt they realize this
or Intend it. The thing has happened
nnturnlly enough because the commer
elnl processes which we nre content to
see operate In ordinary times hnve
without sufficient thought been con
tinued Into a period where they have
no proper plnre.
"I nm not questioning motives. I
am merely stating n fact, and stilting
it In order thnt attention may be fixed
upon it.
"The fact Is thnt those who hnve
?fixed wnr freight rntes hnve taken the
most effective means in their power to
defeat the nrinies engaged against Oer
mnny. When they realize this we inny,
I tnke it for granted, count upon them
to reconsider the whole mutter. It Is
high time. Their extrn hnr.nrds nre
covered by war risk insurnnce.
Warning Is Sounded.
"I know, and you know, whnt re
sponse to tills great challenge of duty
and of opportunity the nation will ex
pect of you; and I know what re
sponse you will make.
"Those who do not respond, who
do not respond In the spirit of those
who have pone to give their lives for
us on bloody fields far away, may
safely be left to be dealt with by
opinion and the law?for the law must,
of course, command those things.
"I am dealing with the matter thus
publicly and frankly, not because I hare
any doubt or fear as to the result but
only in order that In all our thinking
and in all our dealings with one an
other we may move In a perfectly clear
air of mutual understanding.
Must Have Same Price#.
"And there is something more that
we must add to our thinking. The
public is now as much a part of the
government as are the army and navy
themselves; the whole people In all
their activities are now mobilized and
In service for the accomplishment of
the nation's task In this war; it Is
In such circumstances Impossible Just
ly to distinguish between industrial
purchases made by the government
and Industrial purchases made by the
managers of Industries, and it is Just
as much our duty to sustain the Indus
trials of the country with all the In
dustries that contribute to its life as
It Is to sustain our forces In the field
and on the sea.
Think Not of Self.
"We must make prices to the pub
lic the same as the prices to the gov
ernment. Prices mean the same thing
everywhere now. Th<jy mean the effi
ciency or the Inefficiency of the na
tion, whether It Is the govertrrftent that
pays them or not. They mean victory
or defeat. They mean that America
will win her place once for all among
the foremost free nations of the world
or that she wlfl sink to defeat and be
come n second-rate power alike In
thought and in action. This is a day
of her reckoning and every man among
us must personally face that reckoning
along with her.
"The case needs no arguing. I as
sume that I am only expressing your
own thoughts?what must be In the
mind of every true man when he faces
the tragedy and the solemn glrtry of
the present war, for the emancipation
Of mankind. v
"I summon you to a great duty, a J
great privilege, a shining dignity and
distinction. I shall expect every man j
who Is not a slacker to be at my side
throughout this great -enterprise. In
it no man can win honor who think* of
himself.**
